DNA Test Results!

Mina, I need your help with the divorce.

Mina Sherwood stared at her screen, her eyes instantly lighting up.

The thought of blocking the sender vanished.

She replied immediately.

What do you need?

Zack has been wanting to collaborate with your company.

Give him the project.

Mina's breath hitched.

That familiar anger flared up inside her again.

Did Grace Nan really think she was a fool?

If Grace just asked, Mina would give money to Zack anytime.

The project's profits meant nothing to her.

But why was Grace lying to her?

Mina's fingers trembled with rage.

She typed quickly.

Grace Nan, you've disappointed me so much!

We're through!!

The message had just been sent.

A new message from Grace popped up.

Write the contract penalty as ten times the value.

If the project fails, sue.

Zack will voluntarily give up his assets and Chloe's custody.

Mina: ?

She swiftly recalled her previous message.

She sheepishly sent a new one.

Your knight is ready, Princess. Smiley face.jpg

…

Chloe was sound asleep.

Evelyn finished sending the messages and saw Mina had recalled one.

She asked.

What did you just send?

Mina replied instantly.

Sent the wrong thing.

Definitely wasn't cursing you out.

Evelyn: "…"

She put down her phone.

The divorce plan was now in motion.

Having Mina handle it was the most natural approach.

Next, she just had to play the part of the foolish woman betrayed by her husband, oppressed by her mother-in-law, yet still clinging desperately to her family.

A slight smile touched her lips as she closed her eyes to sleep.

The next morning.

She took Chloe to preschool.

She hailed a cab to NanTech Ltd.

The company was rented in a small partitioned office space in a building.

It had only about a dozen employees.

Mina was already waiting downstairs in her sports car.

Dressed in designer labels, she had an outstanding presence.

Seeing Evelyn, she raised an eyebrow with a smile.

"This outfit doesn't embarrass you, does it?"

Evelyn gave a thumbs-up.

The two walked into the company together.

They arrived outside Zack's office.

Ambiguous sounds came from inside the room.

Evelyn narrowed her eyes.

Zack's mistress, Kelsey Lopez, was his secretary.

The two were entangled on the sofa.

Kelsey's skirt was rolled up to her waist.

Zack's pants were down to his knees.

Evelyn pushed the door open.

The sight that met her eyes was Kelsey's bare back.

The sound of the door opening startled the two.

They hurriedly put their clothes on.

Seeing Evelyn, Zack flew into a rage.

"Grace! Who said you could come here?!"

Kelsey showed no shame.

She finished dressing and looked Evelyn over.

Her tone was mocking.

"Madam, please don't misunderstand.

It's not what you think between Mr. Davis and me…"

Evelyn remained silent.

She wasn't blind.

Kelsey continued her performance.

"It's all my fault.

I seduced Mr. Davis.

It has nothing to do with him…"

She stole a glance at Evelyn.

But the other woman's expression was blank.

Kelsey was taken aback.

Shouldn't Grace Nan have slapped her?

If Grace wasn't going to do it, she would do it herself.

Kelsey raised her hand and slapped her own face.

Her eyes reddened.

"Madam, I know I was wrong…

Please don't look at me like that…"

Zack rushed over and shoved Evelyn aside.

He shielded Kelsey.

He roared.

"Grace! What are you doing?

She's carrying my child!

If anything happens to her, I won't let you off!"

Evelyn lowered her eyes to hide her scorn.

Her voice was soft and weak.

"Zack, Mina is here to discuss the collaboration…"

Only then did Zack see Mina behind her.

He froze.

Mina suppressed her fury.

She threw the contract at him.

"Stamp it and sign."

Zack took the contract with an ingratiating smile.

"Miss Sherwood, have you and Grace made up?"

He glanced over the contract's contents.

Collaborative research and development in new energy.

Results due within one month.

Penalty for breach was ten times the value, twenty million.

The clauses were subtly hidden.

An outsider wouldn't be able to tell.

Zack skimmed through it quickly.

He excitedly stamped and signed it.

He said with a beaming smile.

"Miss Sherwood, please come visit us at home often from now on.

And Grace, you really shouldn't have blocked Miss Sherwood.

You've been good friends for so many years…"

Mina snorted coldly without a word.

Evelyn looked at Zack, hesitating as if she wanted to say more.

"…You haven't been home for days.

Chloe misses her father."

Zack smiled.

"I'll come back tonight to have dinner with Chloe.

You two can go now."

Evelyn shot a "triumphant" glance at Kelsey.

She left with Mina, appearing "reluctant to part."

As soon as they were gone.

Kelsey immediately coquettishly complained.

"You're not spending the night with me?"

Zack hugged her.

"Just humoring them.

See? If I don't go home for a few days, Grace has to come begging me.

And with the collaboration with the Sherwoods, we'll get millions in annual dividends!"

Kelsey's displeasure turned to delight.

"I knew you were the best to me…"

"Of course…"

Zack lecherously touched her waist.

"They're gone, shall we continue?"

Downstairs.

Mina felt nauseated.

"Is he really going back tonight?"

"No."

Evelyn replied flatly.

…

The Ashcroft residence.

Marcus Valentine charged into the Third Master's study with the DNA test report.

"Uncle! The results are out!"
