    Joseph smiled and shook hands with the others.


    Diego remembered Audrey’s request not to reveal her identity as the founder of Evergreen Biotech, he simply said, “This is


    Audrey. She’s currently working at Evergreen Biotech.”


    “Audrey, I''ve heard so much about you! You made a big impression at the exchange meeting in Slovomia four years ago!” An


    older biologist shook hands with Audrey.


    “It''s a pity | couldn''t attend that time. My colleague said you were very admirable. | haven’t heard much about you since then. Is it


    because of your work at Evergreen Biotech?”


    “Yes.” Audrey nodded. “Many experiments involve confidentiality, you see. But | do enjoy the feeling of being immersed in myb


    work.”


    The group chatted happily.


    Since Audrey imed to be solely focused on her experiments, she brushed off any attempts to inquire about the founder of


    Evergreen Biotech, saying she hadn’t met them and wasn''t interested


    anyway.


    Audrey joined her formerb seniors for dinner at Justin and Daphne’s home that evening.


    The housekeeper had prepared everything and took the children to Daphne’s mother’s house.


    The group gathered around the table.


    They ate and shared stories from theirb days—most of which were jokes by Daphne-—leaving Audreyughing heartily.


    Joseph''s phone had been vibrating in his pocket the whole time. He nced at Audrey, then walked to the balcony to answer the


    call.


    “Nathan, please don’t call me anymore,” Joseph said. “I won''t tell you anything about Audrey! | won’t ry messages for you or


    tell you that the child is yours!”Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Joseph realized he had let something slip and quickly covered his mouth.


    There was dead silence on the other end of the phone.


    After a while, Joseph spoke again, “Nathan, please stop interfering with Audrey’s life! Just marry Amelia properly! Spare


    yourself... and spare Audrey!”


    He hung up the phone and returned to the table, joining Audrey in lively conversation.


    On the other end of the phone, Carol urged, “How did it go? What did Joseph say?”


    Nathan was in utter shock.


    In other words, that sweet little girl was really his daughter!

    Carol became even more auxious seeing Nathan’s ashen face and rapid breathing.


    She grabbed Nathan''s arm. “Is the child really from our family?”


    Nathan snapped out of his thoughts, looking at Carol nkly. He knew that if he told Carol the truth, she would definitely find a


    way to take the child back.


    “Joseph doesn’t know,” Nathan said.


    “Then ask him again!” Carol persisted. “This morning, when | was on the phone with Joseph, | heard Audrey''s voice, and Joseph


    suddenly hung up. He must''ve been with Audrey! Ask Joseph if the child is with Audrey! Ask if Audrey is taking good care of the


    child!”


    “That child doesn’t resemble me at all. Audrey probably adopted her. Don’t worry so much,” Nathan said, getting up to leave.


    Carol followed after him.


    “If you


    had married and given me a grandchild earlier, would | be this worried? You insisted on Amelia, right? Then hurry up, get


    married, and have a child! | won’t stop worrying otherwise.”
