Chapter 256 Your Ex-wife Is My Daughter?

Christopher was silent for a while before answering, "Amanda and Jack Allegra's DNA test results show that they are blood-related."

Once that was said, Elias' eyes were filled with shock. Although he had anticipated such a result, he was still surprised to hear Christopher admit it.

"Which means Amanda is Jack's daughter?" Elias asked.

Christopher concurred, "Real as it can be. I've compared it several times and received the same results."

"Okay, I understand. Send me the test results. I'll be waiting for you in my office."

"Alright, Mr. Winters. I'm bringing them over now."

After the call ended, the man seemed quite relieved as this would save him a lot of trouble. At the very least, he would have less difficulty explaining this situation to Jack. At that moment, Yacob called again.

Elias answered the call, but before he could say anything, he heard Yacob's anxious voice explaining, "Mr. Winters, how is the situation on your side? Have you confirmed it or not? The old fox is growing more restless. He thinks we've planned this and keeps interrogating me. Also, he asked me to tell you that if you don't show up anytime soon, you will have a new enemy, a new roadblock, in business, and he will withdraw his shares from Winters Enterprise. What are we going to do?"

If Jack were to withdraw his shares at such a crucial moment, Winters Enterprise would soon be divided up, especially when Anna was still holding onto Howard's shares.

At that moment, a knock came from the door. It must be Christopher with the DNA test results.

Elias instructed Yacob, "Tell him I'll be there in twenty minutes, and ask him to wait for me in the waiting room. I have something to tell him."

"Sure!"

In the meantime, once Yacob received his instructions, he immediately knew that Christopher must have the results, and judging from how confident Elias sounded just now, the results might be what they expected.

Then, Yacob turned to face the Allegra Family and informed the anxious Jack, "Mr. Allegra, Mr. Winters says he'll be here in twenty minutes and asks that you wait for him in the waiting room. There's something important he needs to discuss with you."

Jack laughed. "Is he finally going to show up? Sure. I'll wait for him in the waiting room. I'm eager to see what tricks that brat has up his sleeves."

No matter what explanation Elias gave him, Jack was determined not to forgive Elias that easily and teach him a hard lesson, or else Stephanie might have to suffer after marrying him.

After letting out a cold snort, Jack made his way toward the waiting room. Meanwhile, Edith and Cassandra followed him, leaving Stephanie, who watched them go. Then, she approached Yacob and asked, "What is Elias doing? Does he think he can ease my father's anger with a few simple explanations?"

She thought Elias was quite foolish to think so. How could a man, who seemed quite intelligent, make such a foolish decision?

"Just wait for him in the waiting room. Mr. Winters has his reasons." Yacob remained expressionless as he replied calmly.

Unable to get anything from Yacob, Stephanie scoffed coldly and left as well.

Yacob finally felt relieved that Elias was about to arrive. Otherwise, he might be unable to handle this situation alone, especially when Jack was lashing out at him. That was something no one could withstand.

Twenty minutes later, inside the waiting room.

Jack was pacing around the room, feeling anxious. He couldn't help but ask impatiently, "When will he be here? Don't tell me that kid is playing with me?"

"Please be patient, Mr. Allegra. Perhaps Mr. Winters is stuck in traffic. He always keeps his word," Yacob assured Jack.

Right then, the door to the waiting room was pushed open, and Elias came in with a document in his hand. However, he wore casual clothes, not the engagement suit they had prepared.

What is the meaning of this? Jack was about to lose it as he roared, "Elias Winters! In all my years of doing business, this is the first time I got played by an immature brat like you! What are you thinking of doing? What is the meaning of this? You know it's your engagement ceremony today, yet you came late. Now that you came, you're not even wearing your engagement suit? What are you trying to do? Are you regretting your engagement?"

With a calm expression, Elias took a seat on the couch and replied, "Yes. I am regretting this engagement."

Once he said so, everyone at the scene looked shocked except Yacob.

Stephanie looked at her father's dark expression and then at Elias' calm expression. She couldn't help but complain inside, What's this man trying to do? Why is he still trying to anger Dad at this moment? Is this a part of his plan?

"You" Jack was about to slap Elias, but Stephanie stopped him. "Dad, calm down. Don't act rashly."

"Move away, Steph. I'm going to help you get even today. I will not allow my precious daughter to suffer such grievances!" Jack pushed his daughter away.

Elias, at this moment, handed Jack the document in his hand. "I've already found your missing daughter, Amelia Allegra."

"

Hearing that, Edith was the first to stand up with a happy and shocked expression. "What? Did you replace Amelia? You found the daughter we'd lost for twenty years?"

She could not believe her ears. Not only Edith but even Jack and Stephanie also seemed bewildered. He found her? How is that possible?

Rising to his feet, Elias gave Jack the document. "This is a DNA test report. After reading it, you'll know why I'm calling this engagement off. It's not that I don't want to marry Stephanie, but because I can't." Stephanie was dumbfounded. What is he saying? What does he mean by 'can't'?

Jack received the document and took out the DNA test report. He flipped to the last page and saw the last line, which read, 'Parent-child relationship established!'

Then, he looked at the name on top and saw 'Amanda Bailey.' Amanda Bailey? Isn't that Elias' ex-wife? She's the daughter we've lost for twenty years? How could that be? How can there be such a coincidence?

"How can this be? This can't be real. Your ex-wife is my daughter?" Jack felt like he was being told a huge joke. He could not accept that.

But Elias remained calm. "That is the truth. So, I can't marry Stephanie, no matter the reason."

Meanwhile, Stephanie was shocked and grabbed the DNA test results from her father. She quickly flipped through the contents and gradually turned pale. Amanda is my biological sister. How... How is that possible?

Suddenly remembering how she kept looking for trouble with Amanda, Stephanie turned mortified. Amanda was actually her sister, Amelia Allegra?

Meanwhile, Edith had broken down in tears while holding onto the DNA test results. "Is she really Amelia? I've finally found Amelia... It's really Amelia..."
