Chapter 47 He’s Dead
Victor’s eyes went wide, and he hurriedly scurried over to stand beside Sean.
He then craned his neck to glance at the phone.
This … was this not the young boy who was in the living room?
Did Sean look like that as a child?
When Sean did not respond, Jason said, “You once had a one–night stand with Miss Donovan, right? I’m guessing the twins are yours. Without your genes, those two would not be so beautiful and cute.”
Victor rolled his eyes as he silently cursed Jason out for being a flatterer.
As soon as he finished cursing out Jason in his mind, he chimed in, “Mr. Sean, what strong genes you have. That boy has inherited your royal air. With that and those beautiful eyes, I’m sure he’ll grow up into a lady killer.”
Sean actually did not feel much joy. After all, a single photo could not prove anything.
Besides, Julia said Claire had once dated a scumbag while Claire said the children’s father was dead. If he really were the children’s father, would that not mean he was the dead scumbag they were
speaking of?
He abruptly shot to his feet and threw the phone back to Jason before striding out of the study room.

He entered the guest bathroom and pulled away the blanket. His deep eyes scanned the bedsheet, especially around the pillows. Finally, he found a single strand of hair. He carefully picked it up before heading into the bathroom to grab the toothbrushes the children had used.
“Victor.”
Victor immediately stepped forward in an extremely respectful manner. “Mr.
Sean.”
Sean handed over the strand of hair and toothbrushes before plucking a hair off his head to give to Victor as well. “Use these for a paternity test. I want the results within the week.”
“Yes, sir!” Victor took the items offered. Before he left, he sneakily shot a look at Jason with a face that blatantly broadcasted his thoughts. “I’m not completely useless, right? Mr. Sean, Jason only knows what happened betwee you and Miss Donovan because of me. Otherwise, he would not have suspect
this…”
Sean scowled. “You were gossiping about me?”
“No, I wasn’t. I swear!”
Victor did not dare say another word and immediately hurried out of the
apartment.
Darn it! Did he have a death wish?
As Sean’s personal assistant, he knew everything about Sean. If he could not keep his tongue under control, he would be kicked out sooner or later.

As Sean’s personal assistant, he knew everything about Sean. If he could not keep his tongue under control, he would be kicked out sooner or later.
Jason waited until the door clicked close before chuckling. “Mr. Sean, Victor does keep his tongue strictly under control. He only told me about what happened between you and Miss Donovan because I did not understand what meant back when he lectured me about overdosing you with the nourishing soup It was only then that I knew Madam and I have been worried over nothing since you faced no problems on that front. I was told to avoid feeding you any of that soup again.”
Sean had always been a person who only hired people he fully trusted while those he had doubts about would never be hired. Hence, he had not really doubted Victor. He was merely desperate for an answer.
He nodded. “Don’t tell the family in Ascalon about this just yet, Jason. Even if the children are mine, do not tell anyone about them.”
Hospital.
Aaron was stuck in a hospital bed with his legs hung up high while his arms were trapped in plaster casts. There was also a plastic brace wrapped around his neck. Looking exactly like a mummy, he looked very hilarious.
Even so, he could not stop chattering.
“Aunt, I–I–I don’t care. You have to avenge me. You have to kill Claire!”
Alice felt her heart break upon seeing Aaron’s state.

He was the only son in the entire Campbell family, and he nearly died in a
car crash.
She patted one of Aaron’s legs. “Don’t worry, Aaron. Your father and I will
avenge you.”
Robert was livid with anger. He turned and shouted at Adam Campbell, “I told you to handle this, and this is what you give me? You have alerted Claire about our plans, and now, just look at what you’ve done to Aaron!”
“That’s only because he’s weak. No one else is to blame for that.”
Adam was simmering in rage and heartbreak. For decades, he had always had his
way. He had never made a mistake before, yet his son was actually played for
a fool by a woman.
That was an absolute humiliation!
Aaron huffed in dissatisfaction. “How is that my fault? I even hired a racing
king. That is the Racing King. None of you told me Claire was so good at driving that not even a racing king could catch up to her.”
“Enough.”
While Alice was a chatterbox, she did not like listening to other people
talk.
She turned to Adam and said, “You must take care of Claire yourself. That girl has grown quite a lot. Not only is she a fighter, but she is also a good driver. Look at what she has done to my dear nephew.”

As Aaron could not nod, he could only blink in agreement. “That’s right! You have to avenge me, Dad. Kill her!”
Naturally, Adam would never forgive Claire for badly injuring Aaron.
The entire family watched as he loudly got to his feet. “Very well. I’ll work on it right away.”
He turned and walked to the hospital ward’s entrance. Just as he was about to
open the door, he spotted three men dressed in suits standing outside. The man leading the group already had his hand held up to knock on the door.
“Who are you?”
Adam’s tone of voice was very unfriendly. Combined with the thug–like drawl of his words, he sounded just like the average gangster from the streets. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
The man standing at the head of the group was dressed in an immaculate black suit with a pair of gold–rimmed spectacles perched on his nose. He was almost as tall as Adam and exuded a presence just as strong as Adam’s. No matter how hostile Adam looked, the man remained calm.
He held his credentials up for Adam to read as he declared in a loud and clear voice, “I am Matt Burke, the lawyer representing Miss Claire Donovan. I would like to speak with Mr. Robert Donovan about the will.”
The Donovans and the Campbells all knew about the will.
Robert was not the only one who was anxious about the will’s contents. The Campbells were equally as anxious.

They had only made their fortune thanks to the Donovans. If Alpha Ventures fell into Claire’s hands, Robert would lose all power and the Campbells would
be left with nothing.
“Damn you …”
Adam raised a fist to attack Matt Burke but the two men standing behind Matt instantly reached out for him. One of them grabbed Adam’s arm while the other pinned Adam to the ground.
With his face pressed into the ground, Adam tasted dirt in his mouth. He had never suffered such mistreatment before.
He instantly started shouting out threats. “Let go of me right now, do you hear me? Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Matt did not even spare Adam a glance as he walked past in his shiny black leather shoes.
Everyone inside the room had heard the commotion outside. When Robert saw who came in, he puffed out his chest and stood up.
Matt blankly stared at him and said, “Mr. Donovan, I’m sure you already know the contents of the will. Miss Donovan has asked that I pass a message to you; if you don’t want the Donovans‘ reputation to be ruined, give her the shares she is owed. Otherwise, she will not recognize you as her father and follow necessary procedure.”
