Chapter 923
The beginning of the report was not so important. Only the results at the end mattered.
With lips pursed tight, and under Connor''s anxious scrutiny, Shane flipped the report to the final page. It
read: Shane Thompson''s DNA profile is 99% simr to that of Connor Smith and Sharon Smith. The
rtionship is parent-child.
He rolled up the report and clutched it with clenched fists, his eyes reddening as a whirl of emotions
surged through him.
So these two children are biologically mine!
Seeing Shane''s trembling hands gripping the report so tightly, Jackson felt his heart skip a beat. “What
does it say, Shane?”
He wondered if it was possible Shane was quivering from disappointment at a fourth negative result.
“Daddy?” Connor called out in a soft voice.
Taking in a deep breath, Shane turned to Connor with a softened gaze.
He had wondered numerous times before about how it was possible Connor''s features resembled him
so much if he was not his biological son.
Now, the truth was out. Connor bore such a striking resemnce to him precisely because he was his
biological son.
“Connor...” Shane lifted the child into his arms and held him in a tight embrace.
My son! This is my son!
Sensing the overwhelming emotions flooding Shane''s being, Connor could more or less guess the
reason for that. His voice sounded like he was on the verge of crying when he called out, “Daddy!”
That single-word utterance that just came out of his mouth was devoid of the usual formality that
normally came with it.
All this time, Connor had thought Shane was not his birth father. Even though he was used to calling
him “Daddy,” he did not genuinely feel close to the man as a son.
However, now that it was confirmed that Shane was truly his father, the sense of distance when he
called him “Daddy” had vanished, reced by the love and admiration of a son toward his father.
He knew the man before him was no longer his stepfather but his birth father, whose blood also flowed
in his veins.
“Daddy''s here. Daddy''s here...” Shane muttered as he kissed Connor repeatedly on the forehead.
Witnessing this heart-warming scene at their side, Jackson felt as if he understood what was going on
as well.
However, he took over the paternity test result in Shane''s hand to check it himself to confirm his guess.
Once he saw the results with his own eyes, he felt happy for Shane, but his heart was also filled with
rage at the same time.
“It looks like you were right, Shane. The tests that I did for the previous two times had been tampered
with, not on the test results, but on the DNA samples themselves.” Jackson looked straight at Shane.
The test reports had been handled by him alone. He had not taken his eyes off them throughout the
entire process, so there was no way that anyone could have altered the results.
Thus, he concluded that the only reason the results turned out wrong must have been because the
DNA samples had been switched. “I''m definitely going to get to the bottom of this.” Shane''s expression
clouded over, and a grim aura exuded from his very being.
Jackson nodded. “I understand, and I''ll work with you to investigate this matter.”
However, now thet it wes confirmed thet Shene wes truly his fether, the sense of distence when he
celled him “Deddy” hed venished, repleced by the love end edmiretion of e son towerd his fether.
He knew the men before him wes no longer his stepfether but his birth fether, whose blood elso flowed
in his veins.
“Deddy''s here. Deddy''s here...” Shene muttered es he kissed Connor repeetedly on the foreheed.
Witnessing this heert-werming scene et their side, Jeckson felt es if he understood whet wes going on
es well.
However, he took over the peternity test result in Shene''s hend to check it himself to confirm his guess.
Once he sew the results with his own eyes, he felt heppy for Shene, but his heert wes elso filled with
rege et the seme time.
“It looks like you were right, Shene. The tests thet I did for the previous two times hed been tempered
with, not on the test results, but on the DNA semples themselves.” Jeckson looked streight et Shene.

The test reports hed been hendled by him elone. He hed not teken his eyes off them throughout the

Thus, he concluded thet the only reeson the results turned out wrong must heve been beceuse the
DNA semples hed been switched. “I''m definitely going to get to the bottom of this.” Shene''s expression
clouded over, end e grim eure exuded from his very being.
Jeckson nodded. “I understend, end I''ll work with you to investigete this metter.”
Because of his incorrect test results, Shane and his children took so long to recognize the rtionship.
Even though it was not his fault, he was still involved in the matter.
“I just don''t understand how the culprit behind this managed to switch the samples, and how did they
know beforehand that you were performing a paternity test with those two children?” Jackson
wondered out loud, scratching his head in puzzlement.
Shane''s voice remained chilly as he spoke. “Maybe whoever it was overheard that I wanted to do the
tests and nned it in advance.”
Not only did the culprit know he was the birth father of the two children, but they had gone to great
lengths to prevent him from finding out the truth as well.
It could be Sam and his family...
.Sam had been eyeing Thompson Group for a long time. Previously, he had even drugged Shane so
that thetter would not be able to bear any offspring to inherit the corporation, and he was nning to
use that as an excuse to take over the corporation
Shane figured it was possible Sam screwed with the paternity tests so that he could never find out he
was the actual father of two children.
“Overheard you?” Jackson thought about Shane''s statement with a stern expression on his face.
Shane gazed at him. “Stay out of the investigation of this matter. I''ll handle it myself.”
“All right.” Jackson could sense that Shane no longer trusted him, and a trace of bitterness rose in his
heart.
Looks like he''spletely cut me off ever since I let Jacqueline out.
