    ric quickly found the date of the paternity test appointment. He shared the date with Ethan, adding, "Can you ask the deputy director to check if there was an issue with the paternity test results that day?"


    "What''s up, you suspect something?" Ethan, sensing some juicy gossip, asked with a smirk. Ethan loved digging into the personal dramas of his friends. He wasn''t much for gossip about strangers, but when it came to his friends, he couldn''t resist.


    "I suspect Georgia''s child isn''t mine!" ric didn''t hold back, sharing his suspicion with Ethan directly. He still firmly believed that the child was Georgia''s.


    Ethan understood immediately and promised, "Alright, I''ll get on it right away."


    ric worked at the Crawley Group, and Ethan was well-versed in ric''s affairs. Georgia was ric''s ex-fiancée, who had be too arrogant and disrespectful toward him, leading ric to break off their engagement decisively. This decision also made him leave the Falconer family behind and start anew at the Crawley Group.


    He had ns to marry Hertha, but then Georgia showed up with a child, iming it was ric''s, which prevented ric and Hertha from tying the knot. ric had doubts about the child''s paternity from the start, so he went ahead with a DNA test. The results confirmed the child was his! This revtion only strained his rtionship with Hertha further. Everything wasplicated because of that child.


    Now that ric doubted the child''s paternity, Ethan naturally wanted to help rify things.


    After hanging up with Ethan, ric couldn''t calm his thoughts. He was investigating blindly; what if Hertha meant something else, and all his efforts were in vain? The simplest and most effective way was to ask Hertha directly about the situation. But he had already asked, and Hertha wouldn''t tell him anything. Asking again would only annoy her. Better to just wait for the results.


    ric turned off the TV and went to take a shower, hoping to uncover the truth tomorrow.


    Hertha was sleeping soundly when


    her phone''s ringtone disrupted her slumber. She reached out from under the covers, fumbling on the nightstand for her phone. Finding it, she pressed the answer button by feet, her voice groggy and annoyed, "What''s up?"


    "Wow, still in bed? The sun''s about to tan your behind," came a refined male voice on the other end, cultured and gentle, with a hint of schrly charm.

    Pulling the phone away, she checked the screen, and sure enough, it was Spencer. It was him. Luckily, she hadn''t snapped at him; that would have been awkward.


    "Morning, Spencer. It''s been a while since you called. What''s got you reaching out today?" Hertha''s mood lightened, her voice bing friendly.
