Between whom, though? It’s clear that Mr. Knight had no knowledge of it, or else he wouldn’t ask me to find out.
Caleb thought doing a DNA test was not a major issue, but if Alice did it behind Ethan’s back and this test was related to Ethan, that would be a serious problem. Very serious indeed!
After returning to her room upstairs, Alice closed the door and took out her phone to reply, ‘What’s the result?”
‘The similarity index is 99.8%, so they are direct blood relatives,’ the other person replied within five seconds.
‘Whose DNAs did you compare? Is it Apollo’s? Have you found Apollo’s father?’ The other person sent another message consisting of several questions.
Those who knew Apollo’s identity were people Alice trusted the most, and Lydia Howell was one of them.
Therefore, Alice honestly replied, ‘Yes.’
‘Is it really Apollo’s DNA? You really found his dad? Who is it? Tell me, tell me. Who is he?’
It was only a causal guess, and Lydia didn’t have any high hopes about it because Apollo was seven years old, and his father was still a mystery. Even Alice didn’t know much about him. Who would have thought Apollo’s father would suddenly be found?
‘Keith Rowland.’ Alice didn’t hide the truth from Lydia because, after today’s incident with the Rowland Family, she had decided to keep her distance from Keith.
However, the DNA test results proved that Keith was Apollo’s birth father.
Apollo looked forward to having a father, and Alice wouldn’t stop him if he wanted to get close to Keith and the Rowland Family.
But she would try her best to stay away from Keith, especially before she divorced Ethan.
‘What? Who?’ Lydia, on the other end of the conversation, was shocked. ‘Who did you say it was?’
‘You saw it right. It’s Keith Rowland.’ It was then that Alice remembered that there was ‘beef’ between Lydia and Keith.
‘Keith? How could it be him? He’s just a shameless playboy, and our Apollo is such a smart and cute child. How could he be Keith’s son? No. That’s not possible. Darling, could you have gotten the samples wrong?’ Lydia’s reaction was a little exaggerated.
‘I don’t think so. I watched Keith and Apollo pull out their hair, so the samples are theirs. There’s no mistake,’ Alice replied in a positive tone as she was sure she wouldn’t have made a mistake.
‘No way. No. Darling, I think you must have gotten something wrong. I don’t believe or accept this result. Our cute little Apollo can’t have an unreliable father like Keith.’
‘Keith’s personality isn’t like how he usually shows. He has a special job, and his usual appearance is only a facade.’ Thinking about the topic Keith had previously discussed with her, Alice felt he wasn’t an unreliable person.
‘Darling, why are you speaking up for him? Anyway, I refuse to believe that Apollo’s father is that hooligan. Why don’t you do another test?’ Lydia refused to accept such a result. How could that ruffian, Keith, deserve to have an excellent son like Apollo?
‘Mistake? You’re the professional. Do you think something could go wrong with a DNA test like this?’ Lydia’s messages had made Alice feel a little skeptical.
‘…No, I don’t. Such DNA tests only have two results. Yes or no.’ Meanwhile, Lydia felt crestfallen as she knew DNA tests couldn’t go wrong. It was just because she couldn’t stand Keith.
‘Of course, if there were a mistake, there would only be one possibility. Your sample was wrong. The hair you gave me isn’t from Keith but another man.’ Lydia still refused to give up on that idea and made a last struggle.
When Alice saw that message, she couldn’t help but laugh. ‘I watched Keith pull out his hair, but if you insist that the hair wasn’t Keith’s, then who could it be? What is the possibility of me mistaking the samples and coincidentally giving you the hair belonging to Apollo’s biological father?’
‘… The possibilities are 0.000001%.’ At first, Lydia wanted to say the possibility was zero, but when she remembered the hair belonged to Keith, she was unwilling to accept that fact and thought there might be a tiny chance.
‘Alright then. I’ll tell Apollo about this and let him decide what he wants to do next.’ Alice didn’t want to interfere too much with this matter. It all depended on Apollo’s attitude.
‘Fine,’ Lydia weakly replied. ‘By the way, will you reveal Apollo’s identity?’ Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
‘It depends on his and the Rowland Family’s decisions.’ Alice hid Apollo’s identity to protect him, and now that she found Apollo’s biological father, she wouldn’t go against his wishes or stop him from doing whatever he wanted.
‘What other decision could the Rowland Family have? Apollo is such a smart, cute, handsome, and excellent child. If Keith refuses to accept Apollo, I’ll cut him up. With a knife.’ Lydia watched Apollo grow up, so she wouldn’t let Apollo suffer any grievances.
“Mommy, it’s time to eat.” Caroline’s voice came from outside the door. Alice put away her phone and stopped replying to Lydia’s messages.
Today, Ethan was also home for dinner, which was extremely rare.
Since the Knight Family didn’t have a rule about not talking during dinner, Lawrence glanced at his obviously unhappy son and asked, “It’s been days since I asked you to invite Tanner West. Why aren’t you making any progress?”
Alice was eating her rice when she heard Lawrence say that, and her eyes flickered quickly.
Meanwhile, Ethan was dumbfounded. To be honest, he didn’t pay much attention to this matter and left it to Caleb but was yet to receive any news about it.
“I told you that Tanner is a rare business prodigy. Who knows how many companies are looking for him? Can’t you pay more attention to this matter?” Lawrence took one look at Ethan and knew his son hadn’t taken this matter seriously. “I heard Tanner is returning to the country tomorrow. Go to the airport and fetch him at all costs.”
Alice, who was serving herself some food, slightly stopped moving, making it look like she was trembling for a moment.
Where did Lawrence hear that news? Tanner is returning tomorrow? Tanner is my other identity, and I’m sitting right here. How could I be returning tomorrow? Also, I don’t remember releasing any news about my return, and Archie wouldn’t release any news without my consent, so where did that news come from?
Since Ethan was sitting beside Alice, he naturally noticed Alice’s slight movements. He turned to look at her with a questioning and inquisitive look.
“What’s the matter? Alice, have you heard about Tanner West?” Even though Alice only had a slight reaction, Lawrence still noticed it.
