Chapter 132

Ethan glanced and saw it was a call from Caleb. He had asked Caleb to investigate the DNA paternitytest Alice did. So, this call was most likely about that.

So, he answered the call.

“Mr. Knight, I have info on the DNA test Young Madam Knight did,” Caleb reported just as Ethan hadexpected.

Ethan turned to gaze at the calm and composed Alice. She wasn’t responsive to Charles’ excessivelyfriendly behavior. In fact, she seemed a little distant.

He knew she was always on her toes when it came to the Wolands. She didn’t trust them and was waryof Charles as well.

Even he couldn’t fool a Little Fox such as Alice, let alone anybody else.

Ethan smirked before walking away with the phone. He found a quiet corner as he exited the hallbefore speaking, “What is it?”

“Young Madam did the DNA test at Howell Corp and Lydia Howell performed the test for her using twosamples of hair she brought with her,” Caleb gave a detailed report.

“Whose hair are those?” That was the most important question Ethan wanted to know.

“I can’t confirm that now. Lydia refuses to cooperate. She keeps deflecting all my questions. It doesn’thelp that I’m uncertain whether she’s truly oblivious or merely faking through her teeth. So, our best betis to ask Young Madam.” Caleb wasn’t almighty. He couldn’t possibly identify the hair even if he got hishands on the samples since the differences were minor.

Alice definitely knew whom the hair belonged to, but she would never tell him. Otherwise, Ethanwouldn’t have to go through all this trouble.

“I’ve investigated her whereabouts the past few days. She didn’t go to many places. She had only metup with Keith a few days ago and returned to the Woland Residence yesterday. But I don’t think thishas anything to do with the Wolands since she would have done the test earlier if they were involved. Itseemed that Young Madam returned because the Rowland Family made a marriage proposal to theWolands. So, I think we can rule out the Wolands.” Caleb paused for a moment before whispering, “Ithink there’s a high possibility one of the hair samples is Keith’s.”

“What about the other one?” Ethan’s eyes narrowed dangerously. Did she take Keith’s hair for a DNApaternity test? Why? Why his hair? Who is the DNA test for? What secret does she have with Keith?

“I haven’t found out whom the other hair sample belongs to. Young Madam’s whereabouts arestraightforward. She didn’t see anyone else besides Keith the past few days. So…” Caleb hesitated,but it was obvious he meant that Alice had only seen Keith.

However, one would need two samples for a DNA test and one of them would be Keith’s. So, the othersample could only belong to someone else.

“Where else had she been?” Ethan had a hunch. It was crucial to replace out who was the other party asthat was the key to the whole ordeal. So, he had to replace out.

“Young Madam usually stays at the Knights and rarely goes out.” Caleb was sure to have all theinformation in hand since Ethan had asked him to do a thorough investigation. “However, she would goto Majestic Plaza every day. Sometimes, she would visit the place twice a day. But she wouldn’tpurchase anything. It seems as though she’s just strolling around the place just to kill time.”

“Go to the mall? Twice a day?” Ethan furrowed his brow since he was aware that she wasn’t the typewho particularly liked shopping nor would she kill time by walking around aimlessly. Besides, it was

truly suspicious of her to visit the mall twice in one day.

Something was definitely going on behind the scenes.

“Go investigate Majestic Plaza and replace out what exactly she did there.” Ethan instinctively felt that hersecret was hidden in that mall.

Nonetheless, he recalled that she was a careful person. So, if she truly had something hidden there,she would avoid the security cameras. If that were the case, it wouldn’t be easy to replace out what shewas doing there.

“Bring more men with you and turn the place upside down. Check for any suspicious target.” Ethan feltit should be easy to replace something or someone by doing that.

“Okay. Got it.” Caleb understood what Ethan was hinting at. It was indeed easier to sniff something outif they had full control over the place.

Meanwhile, in the event hall, Charles placed the fruit knife to the side. After a while, it seemed like hecouldn’t handle being up and about any longer. “Alice, I’m not feeling well. Please help me to thelounge. I think I need a break.”

“Okay.” Alice couldn’t reject him as he was her grandfather. So, she went forward, helped him up, andwalked out.

Sophia followed behind them silently but glared at Alice with displeasure.

As they exited the hall, there was a lounge on the left.

“Let’s head into that lounge. I can just take a break there,” Charles ordered as he pointed at the loungeon the left.

“Okay,” Alice hummed in acknowledgment and pushed open the door before leading Charles inside.

After she helped seat Charles on the couch, she realized he didn’t look too well and was short ofbreath. “Don’t worry, Alice. I just need to take my meds.”

Charles assured Alice and started to fumble through his pockets, but he couldn’t replace the bottle evenafter a long while. “Where are my pills?”

“You were resting in the right lounge before. Did you leave it there?” Sophia suddenly chimed inanxiously, “How could you misplace your medication? Your life is at stake. How are you feeling now?”

“It’s not that bad. Just a little out of breath. Alice, I probably left my meds in the lounge on the right ofthe hallway. Can you fetch it for me?” Charles’ speech faltered as his face turned pale. It was as if hewas going to stop breathing anytime soon.

“Sure. I’ll get it.” Alice knew nitroglycerin was an important fast-acting medicine for people with heartattacks. If the patient didn’t take it on time, their life would be at risk.

So, she couldn’t let Charles be in danger no matter what.

Then, she shot up and rushed out the door, but she quickly sneaked a glance at Sophia before the doorswung to a close.

After she closed the door, she didn’t waste any time as she dashed toward the lounge Charles hadmentioned earlier.
