Rebirth: Revenge of the abandoned heirress-Chapter 88: Mother might be alive

This morning, for the last stroke, the worker brought a piece of news that shocked Caroline Anderson's manager and made her stumble back in fear. She sucked in a cold breath.

"Amelia!"

...

In the spacious office, sitting behind an oversized office desk, Sebastian Crowne was silently going through some files. The office was so silent that one could hear the breathing of two people in it. The shuffling of papers would sound sharp and smooth and resound in the whole office. The aura of the person going smoothly through the papers was the most intense presence in the office.

There was a certain charm in his presence; a gracefulness that couldn't be mimicked no matter how hard one tried. It was unique to only him.

"Brother, everything happened smoothly as we planned out. As you instructed me, Jazmine Harrison's name was not dragged into it. After all those scandals were released, the whole media attention has been drawn towards them. After this day... Caroline Anderson's career is finished." Elias Crowne was startled when he looked up and found a smile on his brother's face.

He couldn't guess what his big brother was thinking. "I know Jazmine asked me not to interfere. But I wanted to get rid of Caroline because she annoyed me at the fashion show. And not because of her. So she shouldn't have anything to complain about." Sebastian Crowne laughed.

Elias Crowne: "..." Brother, you clearly approached Caroline yourself at the fashion show and let her pester you. Was it so you could find an excuse to give to your wife for destroying her? Ah... So weird.

Elias couldn't have guessed his brother did all that... just to find an excuse.

"Brother, why did you specifically help Amelia clear her name from her scandal?" Amelia's scandal was caused by Caroline. So by exposing Caroline, Amelia's name was automatically cleared. "Is it because she is in good terms with Jazmine?"

His brother didn't say anything, and Elias knew it counted as a yes. It meant he must befriend his soon-to-be sister-in-law as quickly as possible!

"About the crisis we had in the company..." Elias's face looked embarrassed for letting down his brother.

"It is not your fault. In fact, it's all Dorian Blackwood's doing," Sebastian Crowne declared, his face devoid of any hint of doubt. He was certain of his words.

"Brother, how are you so sure?"

Sebastian flashed the files he had been going through. "Look at this. You are only in charge of one department, so you might lack sufficient insight. But the overall complication is constructed by the coalescence of many small hurdles created by different companies. I've inspected all those companies, and all of them seem to share a connection or a history with the Blackwood family."

Elias was dazed by his brother's deep insight. "Brother, you are a god! How do you manage to do all this with such... with such coolness!" He got lost in emotions and exclaimed.

"Silence." Sebastian threw the files in front of Elias. "I have a task for you. Go and talk with the representatives of all the enlisted companies here. Propose to them a better alternative than Dorian Blackwood. If they accept, then leave with a warning. But if they decline..." Sebastian glanced at his brother and said no more.

Elias understood what to do if those pitiful people declined. Hopefully, they wouldn't if they knew what was best for them. "Brother, is it because of Dorian Blackwood's involvement this time that you are being so uncompromising?"

"That bastard needs to know that he can't toy with us like this."

"Brother, finally you are going to take action. You have allowed that Blackwood family to play around a lot in the past. That Dorian always infuriated me to death with his cocky attitude. With our unresponsiveness, he assumed that we didn't have the guts to oppose him."

Sebastian had not taken any action until now because he was afraid that Dorian Blackwood might direct his indignation toward Jazmine Harrison. So Sebastian had been 'relatively' tolerant. But now that Jazmine would be under his direct protection, he didn't need to hold back.

"Also, today arrive at our family restaurant before nine a.m."

"Huh...? Brother, it's been so long since we visited Uncle Wei's restaurant. I greatly miss his cooking. Why do you want to visit suddenly?"

Then Elias exclaimed, "I know! You want to take sister-in-law there?"

"Be there before nine a.m. She wants to meet you."

...

After much reluctance, Lucian Smith finally called his President. Last time, he really pissed her off. So he was scared to call her.

"President, I called to ask for directions. I've done all of your assigned tasks. What must I do next?"

When Jazmine Harrison heard his question, she herself was at a loss. "Are you still in Hong Kong?"

"Yes, President. I'm staying at a friend's. I had a job to attend in Hong Kong."

"What do you think those results implied?" Jazmine didn't have time to sort them out. Because soon after that, Sebastian Crowne had given her the shock of her life.

"President, if I may... there is something else I want to tell you."

Jazmine didn't like that. "You haven't told me anything last night?"

Lucian Smith complained, "I wanted to! But you hit me and chased me out. I was so scared... so scared to even call you..."

"Stop being dramatic and shoot what it is." Jazmine felt like this Lucian Smith was getting more and more comfortable around her, even joking. Jazmine liked to be the President who would have her fear deep in her employees' hearts.

Though Jazmine thought so, she liked that little guy.

"President, your mother's DNA didn't match yours, but your grandfather's did. Also, your mother's DNA didn't match her own father. What do you think is the most possible answer to this question?"

"My mother was not my grandfather's actual daughter. And I might be a child from my grandfather's actual daughter who has, for some reason, given me up?"

"You can say so. But there is something more noteworthy. While there is no doubt in your grandfather and father's DNA, your mother's DNA was taken from her dead body. What if... what if the DNA was not actually your mother's?"

"You are trying to say..." Jazmine trailed off.

"The dead body they found that day might not be your mother's. In other words, your mother might still be alive!"
