Heather had never heard Everett say such words before. She believed that, given they were the parents who had raised him, Everett would surely display boundless tolerance.
But at this moment, his voice was too cold, as if he was prepared to turn his back on his own blood.
She was scared.
She also realized that her lies were piling up, becoming more and more outrageous. It seemed that even Everett's parents couldn't protect her anymore.
Everett left the hospital and got into the car.
Kevin glanced at Everett through the rear-view mirror and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lopez, there has been some progress regarding Langston's disappearance from the hospital last time. Our people have found this address." He sent a location to Everett.
"Check everyone related to this place, by any means necessary." Kevin nodded, his tone slightly hesitant, as if he had debated whether to speak up repeatedly before finally saying, "Mr. Lopez, there's something I'm not sure if I should say.” Everett, on the other hand, was opening his laptop. He hummed lightly, indicating that Kevin could go on.
"You... could actually consider having a DNA test done for Langston and Heather. That way, you could find out the truth!" When Heather had said this, Kevin had been at the hospital too.
Although what Heather said sounded absurd, it was not impossible! After all, Mr. Lopez's parents had indeed always indulged Heather in whatever she wanted to do! But it was easy to verify the truth of this statement. All they needed was a paternity test.
But Kevin could see that Everett seemed uninterested in getting one done.
Everett paused in the act of opening a file, then looked up at Kevin. "If you were Langston, who just returned and doesn't have a good impression of me, how would you feel if I just went ahead and ordered a paternity test, regardless of whether you wanted it or not?" Kevin clearly hadn't considered it from Langston's perspective.
"I never thought about getting a paternity test with Langston. Because he is my son, regardless of who his biological mother is. I don't want him to have any psychological trauma. The point is, I don't believe Heather's words." Kevin instantly understood. He could imagine Everett's protective instinct as a father. Moreover, there was really no need to confirm something he didn't believe in his heart.
The car started, and Kevin was about to step on the gas.
Everett suddenly spoke, "By the way, go ahead and acquire East Star Enterprises." "Huh?" This instruction was so abrupt that Kevin was taken aback. "East Star Enterprises?" Kevin wanted to ask, was it the same East Star Enterprises where Ms. Sanchez worked? "Yes, after the acquisition, none of their employees are allowed to leave." "Mr. Lopez, are you planning to..." "Lane, the person in charge of East Star Enterprises, is pursuing Dorothy." Everett's voice was very calm, as if he was just talking about the weather. "I don't like it." Kevin blinked, almost thinking he had heard wrong.
Was Mr. Lopez going to acquire a large investment company just because he didn't like something?! "Is there a problem?" Everett looked at him.
Kevin immediately shook his head, "No, no!" After thinking for a moment, he ventured to ask, "So after the acquisition, some of the employees of East Star Enterprises, ahem... I mean, those who are good at their jobs and are capable, do you want to incorporate them into the Lopez Corporation?" Everett's eyebrows raised slightly, and his thin lips moved slightly. "Sure." Kevin immediately made an OK sign with his hand, then started laughing. "Mr. Lopez, have you finally come around?" "I'm discussing work." "Yes, yes, I understand!"
