Chapter 274


    On my way to see ra, a question haunted me. ra''s im of trust seemed contradictory.


    The moment I saw ra, she had transformed back into that meek and docile girl,pletely


    defenseless, totally unlike the day she came to inform me that Zora had taken Evan.


    I knew too well that whenever she switched to be like this, she either needed a favor, or she was up to


    some new trick.


    Walking in without a word, I took a seat across from her, ncing at her, "So, what do you want to talk


    about?"


    She blinked, then lowered her gaze, a conflicted expression on her face, "Ms. Aaliyah, that child is


    lost."


    My head throbbed at her words, and I stared at her sharply, "What do you mean?"


    Her eyes, suddenly full of tears, met mine, "Ms. Aaliyah, I don''t know how to tell you, I lost that child."


    "Speak clearly," I growled, my heart was on fire.


    ra shrunk back, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful, as if I was the one who had wronged


    her.


    "I lost Evan," ra stated clearly.


    I was in disbelief, "Evan was with you? Didn''t you say Zora had taken him?"


    "He was indeed taken by Zora, butter I took him away." she stammered.


    I was speechless, murmuring, "I underestimated you. So tell me, how did you lose him?"


    "After seeing you that day, I eavesdropped on Zora and Jan''s conversation again, found out where


    Evan was hidden, and took the opportunity to steal him away. And I did a DNA test on him and Jan,"


    ra''s voice trembled, and it was hard for me to believe she could be so nervous.


    I was scrutinizing her, trying to determine if she was putting on an act.


    I was speechless. All of these devils were good actors. I had to stay focused, otherwise, I would be


    manipted.


    "You did a DNA test on Jan and Evan?" I immediately found the answer I was looking for.


    So, the anonymous DNA was Jan''s and Evan''s? That meant Evan was not Jan''s child, but


    Jerome''s.


    I didn''t know whether to feel schadenfreude or sadness. Jan was truly a farce.


    But I couldn''tugh.


    I asked deliberately, "And the result?"


    ra looked at me cautiously, fear in her eyes, "Evan is not Jan''s."


    I stared at her, and she misunderstood my gaze, "I''m not lying, and he really isn''t Jan''s, but..."


    "What is it?"


    "I forged a report, confirming Evan was Jan''s." ra looked at me, quickly adding, "I did this to


    protect Evan from Zora and Jan."


    Her words made me see her in a new light. She was actually concerned about Evan.


    "So why did you say Evan is lost? What happened?" I pressed, staring at her.


    "Ms. Aaliyah, I didn''t expect it to turn out like this. I..." ra seemed flustered, genuinely so, not just


    acting.

    "Calm down and tell me." I softened my tone, trying not to intimidate her.


    "This fake DNA might have caused trouble." ra started.


    "Why do you say that?" I asked, feeling an inexplicable tension. My concern was for Evan.


    "Because I found out that Zora also secretly did a DNA test on Evan and Jan. But I intercepted her


    report before she could get the results. Then I reced it with the fake one I had made, confirming


    Jan and Evan as father and son. But I didn''t expect Zora to be furious when she saw the results.


    She even exploded with rage, cursing Jan for his disloyalty. She called Maddox, asking him to get


    rid of Evan." ra''s eyes were filled with panic.


    I clenched my hands nervously. I believed that Zora was capable of such a thing.


    But it was ironic. What right did she have to use Jan of disloyalty? As Zora was the one who


    plotted with Jan against me, hiswful wife, it wasughable that she was only just realizing hisck


    of loyalty.


    How utterly ridiculous.
