CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 157: SUMMERS AND ETHAN GRANT PATERNITY TEST

"Mr. Grant, your meals are prepared and delivered to you according to the standard. Why are you personally coming down here..." Christopher Carter muttered softly.

Even having a meal with Yvette Aston couldn’t be peaceful.

"From now on, Yvette will dine with me. I’m busy with work lately, and I can’t be without someone by my side," Ethan Grant said in a deep voice.

Christopher Carter took a deep breath; the little boat of family ties capsized just like that. "Mr. Grant, I’ll come! I’ll dine with you."

The chefs cooking for Ethan Grant were Michelin restaurant chefs—were they meals regular people could enjoy?

"Go to the restroom." Ethan Grant instructed Christopher Carter to go to the restroom.

"Why go to the restroom?" Christopher Carter was puzzled.

"Take a look in the mirror."

"Cough cough..." Yvette almost choked on her food.

She suppressed a laugh, bowing her head to eat rice.

Christopher Carter lowered his head in grievance, focusing on eating his meal.

...

Club.

"President Jennings, our two families are connected through marriage, and it’s been publicly acknowledged through a press conference. This means that our fortunes are intertwined. Whether or not you and Claudia have a foundation of feelings, you are her fiancé, her future husband, and you should protect her." Wendy Bell came to see Henry Jennings.

"As for Summers, whether this child belongs to the Jennings Family or not, you and Claudia will certainly have children of your own in the future."

Henry Jennings leaned back on the sofa, looking at Wendy Bell. "Is Eldest Miss Bell here today to ask me to speak with Ethan Grant again?"

"That’s what you should be doing." Wendy Bell looked at Henry Jennings.

Henry Jennings looked at Wendy Bell with deep meaning. "It seems like the young lady doesn’t quite understand the situation."

Wendy Bell frowned.

"My son is connected to me by blood. Claudia is just a fiancée," Henry Jennings reminded Wendy Bell. If Claudia meant nothing to him, he wouldn’t hesitate at all.

"President Jennings, the Bell Family and the Jennings Family have been friends for generations. You can’t just ignore this..." Wendy Bell took a deep breath. "This time, it’s the Bell Family beseeching you to step forward."

Wendy Bell finally put down her high and mighty attitude.

She had come to plead with Henry Jennings.

"Then, Miss Wendy, can we have a good chat about your relationship with Ethan Grant?" Henry Jennings sat up straight, his eyes deeply gazing at Wendy Bell.

"As far as I know, six years ago, you appeared in Ethan Grant’s room, but Ethan Grant...seems like he never returned to the room."

Henry Jennings spoke with a deep meaning.

These days, he had been in Meridia, having someone investigate the events from six years ago.

He needed to find out who left Yvette’s room six years ago.

That is, who Summers’ biological father really was.

He had to find out who Summers’ biological father was before the truth about Summers’ parentage came to light.

Only then could he make plans in advance.

"President Jennings is investigating me..." Wendy Bell’s fingers tightened instantly.

"I don’t have the patience to discuss this too much with you," Henry Jennings reminded Wendy Bell.

Wendy Bell knew Henry Jennings’ capabilities and stayed silent for a long time. "Yes...he didn’t return to the room, but Ethan Grant doesn’t know that. He thinks he did return to the room, so he always believed that the person from six years ago was me."

Wendy Bell knew she couldn’t hide it from Henry Jennings.

But Henry Jennings would never expose her.

Because she still had value.

"Whose room did Ethan Grant enter?" Henry Jennings frowned, his voice subdued.

He was afraid...that the person who entered Yvette Aston’s room back then was Ethan Grant.

"Not sure." Wendy Bell shook her head. "I’ve also had people investigate it. On the same floor that night, the only woman staying was that actress Paige Fulton, but Paige Fulton and Ethan Grant don’t seem to have that kind of relationship. If it were Paige Fulton, she wouldn’t have kept it from Ethan Grant."

Henry Jennings had naturally investigated as well.

"Is it possible Ethan Grant went to a different floor?" That night, Ethan Grant was set up, drugged, and it’s entirely possible he entered the wrong floor and the wrong room.

"It’s been too long to investigate again." Wendy Bell shook her head.

"We couldn’t find out, and Ethan Grant definitely couldn’t, either. As long as he can’t figure it out, and I insist it was me, he won’t be able to argue, unless that woman comes forward to clarify or...that woman had Ethan Grant’s child once." Wendy Bell spoke again.

Otherwise, it could only be her.

Ethan Grant would be indebted to her for a lifetime.

"It’s been six years. If that woman were so scheming, she would have come forward to clear the air long ago. I suspect the woman who actually had any encounter with Ethan Grant doesn’t even know who he is." Wendy Bell looked at Henry Jennings.

Henry Jennings’ expression became even more severe.

Now, he feared most that...Ethan Grant entered Yvette Aston’s room.

There are not so many coincidences in this world.

Rubbing his temples, Henry Jennings spoke deeply. "If you want to win over Ethan Grant, I advise you to do it quickly...without harming Yvette and the child while getting her away from Ethan Grant quickly."

Avoid prolonged dreams.

"You mean..." Wendy Bell, being smart, quickly understood what Henry Jennings meant.

She took a sharp breath. "Are you saying...Summers might be Ethan Grant’s child?"

"Summers is my son," Henry Jennings spoke firmly.

Wendy Bell frowned and said no more.

"Claudia went too far this time, even the child wasn’t spared. Apparently, her time in detention didn’t teach her a lesson. If Ethan Grant is determined to deal with her, no one can help her. If your Bell Family still wants to save itself, I’d advise you to cut your losses early."

Henry Jennings sternly warned, then got up and left.

Wendy Bell drew a sharp breath. She knew this meant Henry Jennings wanted the Bell Family to give up on Claudia.

If the Bell Family took the initiative to reveal all of Claudia’s misdeeds publicly and sent her abroad, Henry Jennings would certainly seize the opportunity to break off the engagement.

But if they didn’t do that, once Ethan Grant exposed everything, it would be a disaster for the Bell Family, and Henry Jennings would still break off the engagement with Claudia.

By that time, both the Bell Family and herself would be implicated.

If the Bell Family were to fall, it would be utterly destroyed.

Cutting off a limb to survive...

That’s the only option.

Claudia Bell, that fool.

Even though Claudia was her biological sister, she could no longer afford to consider that.

Everyone for themselves or face universal condemnation.

After sitting on the sofa in silence for a long time, Wendy Bell, her fingers slightly cold, dialed Claudia Bell’s phone. "Do you have any way to get Henry Jennings’ hair?"

"Sister...he won’t see me at all." Claudia was anxious. "What should I do, what should I do?"

"Let me handle this; buy a ticket to M Country now, and leave tomorrow," Wendy Bell instructed Claudia to leave Meridia.

"Sister!" Claudia was unwilling to leave.

"Do you want to ruin the Bell Family, or do you want to lie low for a few years?" Wendy Bell reminded Claudia.

"Why should I..." Claudia was unwilling.

"Because he’s Ethan Grant!" Wendy Bell retorted in anger.

Claudia was frightened and fell silent.

Who is Ethan Grant? There have been few who have crossed him and come away unscathed.

If Ethan Grant really wanted to move against the Bell Family, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

"Sister, save me. I don’t want to break off the engagement with Henry Jennings." Claudia sobbed.

"Now you know to plead? You have no sense at all." Wendy Bell rubbed her temples. "Henry Jennings will definitely break off the engagement with you, but if you go abroad to hide for some time, and once Ethan Grant grows tired of Yvette and things fade, you can come back, and at least the Bell Family will be saved."

Claudia cried on the other end of the phone.

Wendy Bell felt vexed and directly hung up the phone.

With trembling fingers, she picked up a cigarette and lit it for herself, feeling very uneasy.

Henry Jennings clearly had hidden meanings in his words today.

It seems...she not only needs to conduct a paternity test between Summers and Henry Jennings but also needs to test Summers’ hair against Ethan Grant’s...for paternity.
