Chapter 300
Twenty-four hours later.
Ryan got the result as soon as possible. The medical DNA identification was that Sophie was not his biological daughter, nor was she born by Chen Li. Sophie’s biological parents were unknown. Back then, Chen Li just adopted a baby girl to extort Ryan’s money. However, she accidentally became Ryan’s mistress for such a long time and enjoyed a long time of wealth and wealth.
Ryan was a smart man with a deep mind. After reading the results, he didn’t show much shock on his face. He didn’t have much feelings for Chen Li, nor did he love her. He was angry with being deceived, but he wouldn’t lose his mind. As for questioning, now Chen Li was still in the ICU, so it was still unknown whether she could live or not. Ryan was not stupid. He wouldn’t let his family make a fool of themselves.
First, he called his secretary and asked her to freeze Sophie’s bank card as soon as possible. Then, he contacted a competent assistant whom he had arranged for Sophie and asked her to take back some important assets documents to him. They were not used to work in a short period of time. After that, he communicated with his personal lawyer to divide the property under Sophie’s name and remove household register and other affairs.
It had been an hour since Ryan had arranged everything. He put on his messy tie and went to see Sophie with his suit jacket, as if nothing had happened.
“Dad.” Seeing Ryan coming, Sophie put away her mobile phone and called him. She had been in the hospital for more than 20 hours and was tired. She forced herself to wait for Ryan to appear. She wanted to go back, but there was no result for a while. She couldn’t wait all the time.
Ryan glanced at her and said in a cold tone, “Come back with me.”
“Oh.” Sophie got up and left with Ryan. When she took the elevator down to the parking lot, she noticed that Ryan was still holding a file bag in his hand. She asked, “What’s this? Is my mother’s car accident really serious?”
Ryan replied seriously and stopped talking. She could tell that he seemed to be in a bad mood and didn’t want to say more. She didn’t dare to ask more and was a little frightened.
In fact, Sophie was very afraid of Ryan. This father had never been close to her, and he usually did not smile. Most of the time, she did not know what Ryan was thinking.
They got in the car and went home.
When she was in the car, Ryan’s cell phone rang several times. It seemed that he was busy with something. Beside him, even if she listened, she couldn’t tell whether it was a business or a private affair. She felt a little uneasy. She always felt that many things had happened to the Bailey family during the period when she left Haleston City, but she didn’t know.
After answering the last call, Ryan squinted at Sophie. Just now, the lawyer told him that Chen Li had hired a lawyer and was ready to handle the case and divide the property with him. Unexpectedly, Chen Li had a life-threatening situation before that. The lawyer’s letter had not been sent yet, and the final result was most likely to be Sophie’s agent.
They went back to the Bailey family home in silence.
Ryan asked the auntie to go upstairs to pack up Sophie’s luggage. Sean couldn’t stay here. The luxurious villa looked very deserted. The auntie was free, so she went upstairs to tidy up Sophie’s luggage.
“Dad?” Sophie was confused. She had just returned home. Where were they going?
Ryan said more coldly than before, “Something will happen to your mother at any time. During this period of time, you go to the hospital to take care of her. There is a house near the hospital that I bought before. You can go there and live there first. I’ll pick you up when I’m done with my business here.”
Sophie pouted, unwilling to do so. “It’s the same if I live here. Dad, I’ve lived here since I was a child. I’m not used to other places.”
Ryan frowned and his face darkened. “Be obedient. I’ve decided to marry Lin Xue. Are you going to make things difficult for me like your mother?”
Sophie didn’t dare to. She didn’t have anything to do. She had already guessed that her mother, Chen Li, couldn’t be Bory’s legal wife. Which man would marry his mistress? It was impossible for a mistress to marry her.
Sophie went upstairs to pack her luggage. She had a lot of things to take with her, and there was also a pile of expensive cosmetics for daily skin care. She estimated that she would live outside for a long time this time, and she did not know what kind of character Lin Xue, the stepmother, had. If it was not good, she might as well go to her own high-class apartment, but it was a little far away from Chen Li’s hospital.
Sophie felt annoyed, and everything was not going well. She wanted to see Edward.
After packing up his luggage, Ryan arranged for the driver to send Sophie away. At the same time, he told her that he would go to other places to do something. During this period of time, if he wanted to contact him, he would call his secretary. As for Chen Li’s matter, he asked her to do it herself. In short, he would find his secretary if he had something to do.
Ryan’s attitude was a little strange, but she was so tired that she didn’t think much about it all night. She nodded and agreed. Then she followed the driver. Anyway, her father’s attitude towards her had always been neither cold nor warm.
If it weren’t for Ryan’s love, she would have thought that Ryan was the kind of father who valued men more than women. But obviously, Ryan was not. He was only partial to his daughter, Anna.
Sophie had been jealous of two women in her life. One was Anna and the other was Nelissa. They had been doted on by her with all her might.
***
After Sophie left, Ryan destroyed the hospital’s DNA identification report. He did not intend to reveal his identity to her now. Before he and Lin Xue got married, he would not put any stain on himself. It was meaningless.
Ryan was a very profitable businessman. He only cared about benefits. It was a huge loss for him to raise his daughter for so many years. He suddenly remembered an old saying. It was not that the retribution in this world was not due, but it was not the right time.
Maybe it was retribution.
In fact, Ryan was not a man who paid so much attention to family affection. Sean was his only son, so he was naturally used to protecting him. But Anna was different. Anna was not his biological daughter. When he took him back to the Bailey family, he knew that Anna was not his and Shu Yu’s daughter, but he still recognized Anna and gave her the greatest favor.
The only woman Ryan truly loved in his life was Anna’s mother, Shu Yu. Shu Yu was also his lifelong regret, and he owed him too much.
When people were young, they always lacked the ability to grasp happiness and change their predicament. Ryan had also experienced it.
Therefore, Ryan really doted on Anna, and he didn’t care about her background. But the retribution came. After Anna disappeared, Ryan was actually confident in his heart. The reason why he didn’t say anything was that he didn’t want to hit Bo Yanyan.
He knew that Sean liked Anna very much, which was beyond the love of ordinary siblings…This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
