Chapter 213
He quickly scanned the paper, his eyes settling on the final conclusion: no biological connection.
The document slipped from his grasp, landing softly on the polished desk.
Noah’s face clouded over instantly.
He closed his eyes, struggling to contain the surge of emotions within him.
No biological connection…
Was the child truly Alex’s?
The sound of high heels approached, growing louder. Kyla entered, her elegant white suit highlighting her poised figure.
Her lips curled into a controlled smile, her eyes gleaming subtly.
“Noah, I’ve just finalized the proposal for the Amberhollow project…” She stopped mid-sentence as her gaze landed on the document on the desk.
“Is this… a paternity test report?” She feigned shock, bringing a hand to her mouth, a quick flash of satisfaction in her eyes.
Noah remained silent, his icy stare fixed on her.
Kyla approached the desk, lifted the report, and glanced over it before looking up with a pretense of concern.
“No biological connection?” she murmured. “Noah, what… what does this mean?”
The atmosphere in the office turned icy, time seeming to stand still. Noah stood abruptly, his movement sending his chair skidding back with a screech.
His face was pale, his lips pressed tightly together.
Kyla’s voice softened as she feigned concern. “Noah, are you okay?”
Ignoring her, Noah strode towards the office door, his steps resolute.

Samuel hastened after him, his footsteps echoing in the tense silence. Kyla watched Noah’s departure, a subtle smirk playing at the corners of her mouth.
She gently placed the paternity test report back on the desk.
Everything was unfolding exactly as she had planned.
However, as long as that boy was alive, he remained a potential threat.
Kyla pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
“Hello, has it been taken care of?”
“It’s been done as you instructed. The information has been spread,” responded a respectful voice from the other end.
Meanwhile, in Alex’s office, the faint aroma of coffee filled the air. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the bustling cityscape of Jazmah stretched out impressively.
Alex set down his phone, a satisfied smile touching his lips.
He had just reached out to a top transplant specialist overseas. Now, Averi had a real chance, and a weight lifted from Alex’s shoulders.
He turned to look at Sadie, who was seated on the sofa.
Her face was pale, and despite her efforts to look strong, her weariness was evident.
“Sadie, good news. I’ve secured a consultation with Professor David Miller in Maradeiris for Averi. It’ll happen soon,” Alex said softly, his voice soothing.noveldrama
Tears welled up in Sadie’s eyes at his words. She looked at Alex with deep gratitude. “Alex, thank you. I can’t tell you how much this means.”
“No need to thank me,” Alex said, his smile gentle. “I consider Averi as my own.”
He moved to sit next to Sadie and reached out for her hand, only for her to subtly withdraw it.
With a lowered gaze, Sadie’s long lashes concealed the emotions in her eyes.
The warmth of Alex’s kindness touched her heart, yet it deepened her guilt. She knew she was deeply indebted to him.
