Jacob Shelby shot a glance at him before he walked outside.

"Wait up!" Oliver Wright hastily chased after him.

Looking at his house that turned back into an empty void, the man let out a sorrowful howl. Oh god, that was 1,000,000 dollars. Why did he reject it earlier!

Even though he thought about that, the man speculated that he would choose to reject it once again if he were given another chance. After all, there were certain things that were more important than money in this world.

"Did you replace out the truth behind Susie's history?" asked Oliver as he caught up to Jacob.

Jacob was silent.

"Jacob, I know that you have a close relationship with her, but you can't stand in the way of Susie's right to reunite with her family members regardless of how close you are to her!" "We've been searching for Rosie for 25 years. If you have any information, please tell me. The Wrights will never beg another man but please consider that I'm begging you this time?" Realizing that being soft was useless, Oliver began to get agitated.

"Jacob! Speak!"

"How can there be such a cold and selfish person like you in this world?"

"Jacob, it's best of you not to let me replace something on you. Otherwise, I'll surely take good care of you."

Oliver's threat was futile.

Jacob bought a flight ticket so Oliver bought one as well and followed him on the plane.

He continued to press Jacob on the plane.

Jacob put on his eye mask and slept.

Oliver could only cease all activities for the time being.

However, he would never give up easily.

The flight landed in Ningcheng City. Jacob hailed a taxi to get home so Oliver got into the car as well. He continued to attempt to seek answers. Jacob remained quiet from start to end.

They went back to the Shaws with Oliver's throat getting parched from speaking too much all the way yet Jacob did not even open his mouth once. Oliver was getting hopeless. 1

His moniker in the army was 'Drill Sergeant Cold Face. ' He had never spoken so much continuously in his life.

As a result, Jacob did not even reply with one word despite his best efforts.

Not even a word.

"Jacob, you're finally home." Susan Shelby rushed over to greet Jacob joyously. When her gaze shifted to Oliver, she immediately spoke nonchalantly, "Mr. Wright, why are you back here as well?"

Oliver was rendered speechless.

Listen, listen.

One of her phrases was, 'You're finally home.'

Another one of her phrases was, 'Why are you back here as well?'

The difference in Susan's tone could not be concealed.

"Susie." Jacob rubbed Susan's head. "Susie, if it's true that we are not bound together by the ties of kin, would you like to replace your biological parents?" Oliver and Anna Wright looked toward Susan in anticipation.

"No, I don't," Susan said resolutely. "Jacob, you've already given me the familial love that I need. I don't need other family members anymore." Susan was telling the truth from the bottom of her heart.

Jacob's gaze softened even more as he looked at her determined expression.

He softened his voice and said, "Susie, you have gray hairs on your head." "Huh, really?" Susan became anxious at once.

"Take a seat, I'll help pluck them out," said Jacob softly.

Susan did not suspect anything but she took a seat obediently.

Jacob began plucking the gray hairs in all apparent seriousness.

"Are there a lot, Jacob?" asked Susan anxiously.

"It's still fine," said Jacob while he kept the gray hairs he removed.

Julian Shaw watched them from the side. He figured out something vaguely so he shifted his gaze.

By noon, Jacob found Oliver and passed him Susan's hair.

"I thought you wanted a DNA test? There are 10 strands of hair here. Moreover, all the hairs come with complete follicles. There should be enough for you to do the test."

Oliver could not help widening his eyes in surprise." You are..."

Jacob's gaze was calm. "Just as mentioned by Anna, there's nothing bad about having more people who love Susie."

Oliver grabbed the hair and he was excited beyond comparison. "Thank you, Jacob."

"Don't be happy too early either. Even though Susie and I are not related, Susie may not necessarily be your sister either." Jacob said, "Also, I haven't told Susie about how we aren't biological siblings. Take it and do the test. You're not allowed to tell her unless you have a definite result."

"Noted," said Oliver sternly.

"So... I shall leave then." Jacob took a glance at the hair strands with a complicated expression, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait up," Oliver called out to him.

"What?" Jacob looked at him.

"Since you've agreed for us to do the DNA test, why did you anything when we were on the way back earlier?" Oliver still felt rather resentful because he spoke so much that his throat was parched and he was still under the assumption that he had lost all hope on the DNA test. 1

"Too lazy to talk." Jacob squinted, then he left without even looking back.

Oliver deserved punishment like this for trying to take his younger sister away.

Jacob's expression turned rather complicated as he turned around.

Whether Susie was the child of the Wrights, the result would come soon.

If she really was the child of the Wrights...

Jacob's gaze was becoming rather uncertain as well.

Would Susie be happy about that?

However, Susie had the right to replace her parents regardless.

Jacob knew Susan very well just like how Susan knew him very well too.

Susan had a very shallow impression of her parents since she was young, but Jacob knew that she had always yearned for her parents' love very much.

Now, she acted as if she did not care at all on the surface just for him.

Yet, how could she possibly not care when the matter was related to the history of her life?

'Susie, you'd rather not reunite with your biological parents for me so I can also make you return to the life path that you deserve too."

Jacob's body vanished at the corner of the street.

Oliver narrowed his eyes, then he placed the hair into a bag cautiously. He called Anna before he headed straight to the test center. The laboratory technician took Oliver's blood and Susan's hair for comparison.

Oliver and Anna were extremely anxious. They took a seat by the door to wait for the result.

The test result would only come out the next day so they stayed in the waiting area of the test center.

The night was getting colder so Anna could not help shivering from the cold.

Oliver took off his coat and passed it to her. "Annie, you should head back and rest first. I can wait here."

"Let's wait together," Anna smiled. "I want to know if Susie is my elder sister right now too."

Anna was very persistent so Oliver did not comment much either. It was only that a wisp of eagerness flashed by his eyes involuntarily.

They had been searching for Rosie for way too long already.

It took so long that they almost lost all hope.

This time, he was planning to take Anna home with him when he came this time. Yet unexpectedly, he found a person who looked so much like his mother. Could Susan truly be Rosie?

Oliver could not help clenching his fists tightly.

It had to be true.
