Chapter 429

Emily thought she might be hallucinating from longing. She couldn't help but say again, "Hold on, Mr. Dowdall. Are you saying that Jack is adopted?"

Roger nodded. "That's what the records show, so it's likely accurate. If you'd like more details, I'd suggest a more thorough investigation."

No, that wasn't necessary. Why would she need to investigate further? With all these pieces fitting together, wasn't the answer obvious?

In an instant, Emily's tears welled up and streamed down her face once more. But these weren't tears of sorrow. They were tears of overwhelming joy.

After over a decade of relentless searching, she had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

In the past few days, she had lost count of how many tears she had shed.

But now, a quiet voice whispered within her. "This time, it's real... It's real..."

It had shown that even in the darkest moments, hope had always been there-a quiet window in a forgotten place. She vowed to never fall into despair and to always hold on to hope.

Because hope lay ahead.

Yes. It was as if fate itself had finally taken pity on Emily and Quintis after years of struggle. Just when her search was on the brink of despair, a tiny ember of hope quietly remained.

And now, at last, that ember had burst into flames, igniting the fire of hope!

This young man's age matched that of Nicholas. His features bore a resemblance

to Quintis in his youth. Moreover, he was adopted.

It all added up. The truth was finally within reach.

On the way home, Emily finally shared her discovery with Quintis.

His heart soared alongside hers.

Back at Quintis Sandalwood Group, he quickly retrieved old photos of himself from the computer. Emily pulled out the materials George had previously provided. They began comparing the images meticulously.

As Emily studied them, her heart broke, and tears silently streamed down her face.

Quintis gently patted her shoulder, comforting her softly, "Don't cry. Victory might be close at hand in the search for Nicholas!"

Even though the truth was almost within reach, he still hesitated. He couldn't bring himself to confirm it until he had absolute proof.

"Yeah." Emily nodded.

Indeed, there were new leads, and this time they were remarkably solid.

But the more real it seemed, the more she feared another disappointment. She had been let down too many times before. She couldn't bear the crushing weight of falling from hope to despair again. This update is available on FιndＮovel.net

Emily looked up, her eyes brimming with tears. "Quintis, don't you remember? I once had a serious conflict with this young man!"

He remembered all too well. Jack had been a partner at Drakengard Games. He and Tristan had engaged in a physical altercation due to a conflict. Emily had held a serious grudge ever since.

And yet, reality often unfolded like a story-filled with twists and turns.

Who could have imagined that Jack might be their long-lost son?

Though not yet confirmed, this possibility filled them with a mix of complex emotions.

"Quintis, what if he's really Nicholas? We've been so hard on him. What if he hates us now?" Emily asked anxiously.

She recalled how Tristan had relentlessly driven Drakengard Games to the brink of ruin. In the end, they had no choice but to sell out to Pentime Group to survive.

And this young man, Jack, had ultimately been expelled by Drakengard Games' higher-ups.

All of that had been caused by the Sandalwood Group.
