Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 195

Chapter 195: Adoption papers Chapter 195: Adoption papers “I suppose I will get something out of this,” Eveline sighed as she looked at the old photo albums in front of her.

She had used them once to learn more about Jacob because they contained many memories from her past, and she was now confident that these albums would help her overcome her restlessness.

Her eyes gleam with joy, tears, and delight as she peruses the pictures further, carrying her mother’s memories with her.

Eveline continued to go through each album, from the clear to the one that had become so old that the photos were blurry, when her eyes caught someone and she paused.

“Who is this child with Grandpa?” She muttered as she looked at the photograph of her grandfather holding a baby in his hand.

Though this is the only picture of him among all the ones, Eveline was aware that the child was not her father at the time.

An insatiable curiosity spurred her to check if there was another photo of him, so she did.

To her dismay, there wasn’t, but instead of a photo, she discovered something intriguing that made her heart race with anticipation.

“Adoption paper,” she whispered.

She opened the file carefully, and her jaw dropped when she saw what was inside.

“Jedrick Miller adopted by Mr and Mrs.

Gerard and Celine Miller” Eveline let out a nervous breath as something struck her abdomen forcefully, twisting her stomach in an odd way.

“Dad does in fact have a brother named Jedrick.

So, does that imply he is also…” She could not finish her sentence because her doubts had not been cleared.

But she was relieved that she could confirm that the person Jedrick was indeed her father’s brother and adoptive son to his grandparents, which was enough to raise doubts about his existence until now.

Eveline quickly packed everything and walked away; however, on her way back to her room, she noticed Susan, who appeared to be so preoccupied with her thoughts that she failed to notice her.

“Aunt Susan!” Her loud voice jolted the lady out of her trance, and she looked at her in surprise.

Susan was so caught up in her thoughts that she did not notice Eveline calling.

“Why do you seem to be lost?” Eveline inquired, and she shook her head in denial.

“I am sorry, Young Miss; I just did not see you,” she apologized.

“Anyway, Dad informed me that you were going to the police station.

Why did they call you?” Eveline asked changing the topic.

Susan fell silent as she spoke, her thoughts swaying in contemplation.

“It was a false call,” she stated, and Eveline nodded.

“By the way, Aunt Susan, I would like to ask you something.” Eveline inquired, drawing Susan’s attention, and she agreed with a nod.

“How long do you know my family?

I mean, since your husband and dad were business partners and friends, you must be familiar with my father’s family history.”  Susan frowned and shook her head at the unexpected question.

“Not entirely because your father rarely discusses it.

Yes, I know your mother, but I have never met your grandparents because they died early ,” she said.

“But why would you ask me about it, Young Miss?

Is there anything you are curious about?” Susan inquired, noticing Eveline was up to something.

This only happens when something has piqued her interest.

“I am not sure, but I think my Dad has a brother who he is trying to hide,” she said, perplexing Susan.

“Brother?” She reiterated.

“Yes,” “But he never spoke about it,” she added.

“That is why I am thinking about it; my father never mentioned it.

But do you remember the card we received that day?

It was sent by him,” Eveline explained.

Susan paused for a moment and suggested, “Why do not you ask him directly?” “Because he lied to me when I initiated the conversation.

So it only concludes that he dislikes talking about anything related to his family.” Eveline would not have hesitated if Jonathan had been truthful, but his lie forced her to investigate this matter on her own.

Susan looked at Eveline with soft eyes and said, “Let us not ask.

If your father has kept things away from you, it is best that we avoid touching them.

He always has a reason for everything.” Susan looked at Eveline sympathetically and Eveline patted her shoulder in return.

Susan was right in away.

Eveline’s persistent digging into the past would not be appreciated by her father.

If he wants her to know, she will eventually find out.

However, if she doesn’t, it means she should not force it.

**** Ella could not help but curse Priscilla after learning that she was the one who spread the rumors about her.

As enraged as she was, Stefan decided not to let her get away so easily.

However, she stopped him because she believed it was her responsibility to decide what she wanted to do with herself.

As she made her way inside the restroom, a few office ladies employees walked in too.

“How could you be so certain that she seduced the boss’s son?

I mean, look at her, she does not even match his taste,” one female employee said.

“I know it is difficult to believe, but Ella has always been like this, first getting into good books with the boss and now connecting with his son on a physical level.” The other person said.

“Did you know that her boyfriend abandoned her because she was so preoccupied with work?

Who knows in the name of work what she does?” “I am curious how she has such attractive men wrapped around her finger.” As the ladies continued to defame Ella, the sound of a door banging startled them, and they caught sight of the woman they were catfishing as she walked out.

When her serious eyes scanned them, they paled and gulped in fear.

“Hello, Miss Ella.” One of the women greeted Ella awkwardly.

“Miss?

So much respect, all of a sudden?” Ella said making her way towards them and they quickly shifted to the side.

Ella smiled as she turned on the faucet on the counter and said, “But I guess Ella is better when the honorific does not come from heart.” NEW BOOK ALERT Marriage with my daughter’s father: Darling please be gentle
