Chapter 454

"What's the matter? Why can't I do it? We've specifically retrieved the video footage from the day when the blood was drawn. It clearly showed that your classmate, Samuel, was the one who gave the blood sample on your behalf. And the 5000 thousand you paid went to him, didn't it?"

Quintis blatantly admitted he had been investigating Jack, his long-lost son, behind his back. He desired to be reunited with his son, so it was natural for him to investigate this matter.

"What a shameless person you are! How could you do something so despicable?" Jack spat out disdainfully.

However, Quintis was like a sly fox. He wasn't ashamed of his actions. "Not only do I know your background, but I know that your parents are Helena Flores and Jeffrey Holland. They are merely your adoptive parents while we... we are your real parents."

Then, Quintis signaled toward Emily, and she quickly took Jack's pair of keys from her handbag.

Jack's expression darkened when he saw the keys.

He recalled fighting with Emily's bodyguard, Laura, and throwing the set of keys under such pressure. He never thought Emily would find it, which explained why Emily was collecting blood samples at his university.

Jack sighed inwardly, knowing all of this was the result of his negligence.

Perhaps this was the work of fate.

At this moment, Jack asked with concern, "What did you do to my adoptive parents?"

Jack was worried Quintis would do something terrible to Helena and Jeffrey.

Quintis lightly responded, "Do you take me for an ungrateful and heartless person who can't distinguish right from wrong? They raised my son and nurtured him to the brilliant man he is today. I'm grateful and indebted to them. Why would I ever do anything against them?"

Jack sighed in relief, then said coldly, "I'm warning you—they are my parents and the closest people to me. If I catch whiff that you've done something terrible to them, even if it's only a single strand of hair, I will make you pay a devastating price."

Then, after saying that, Jack got up and left.

Emily wanted to pursue him, but Quintis stopped her. "Emily, let him go."

The sense of longing and disappointment lingered in Emily's eyes as she watched Jack leave.

Quintis patted his wife's back and said, "Give him some time. Forcing him will only push him further away from us." Fresh chapters posted on Find1Novel.net

Knowing that Jack was their son, things were much easier to manage. They were not bothered by Jack's threats. After all, they had been separated for over a decade and were practically strangers.

Emily understood where Quintis came from, but tears welled in her eyes.

She finally met the son she had separated from for over a decade, yet they couldn't be reunited. She felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness and hopelessness.

What was more unbearable was that Jack had a much deeper relationship with his adoptive parents, deeper than what he had with her and Quintis.

Even though there was nothing wrong with it, Emily couldn't help but feel a tinge of heartache and jealousy.

However, now wasn't the time to rush things. What they needed to do was to find a way to mend their relationship with Jack, to help them feel their love through the menial things every day, to turn his heart back to them. With time, Jack would eventually return to their side.

At this moment, Jack didn't know Emily and Quintis' plan. He was merely shocked at how quickly they had located him.

Frustrated, Jack jogged up the hill behind the university to clear his head. After sweating it out, he returned to his dorm.

When he entered his dorm, he was welcomed by a crowd.

Isaac, Joshua, Ronnie, and everyone else were chatting. The girls from the shared dorm room were also present. They were discussing their plans for summer break.

Isaac and Joshua joined the school team and were recently invited to various league tournaments, where they earned substantial money.

Also, as the Calisota Universities Basketball Association's competition approached, Isaac and Joshua realized they might have to travel with the team for competitions. So, they decided to make the most of their free time. Using the money they earned, they planned to invite the girls from the shared dorm room on a trip.

At this moment, everyone was discussing a suitable travel destination.
