So, there have been such happenings between them. If she isn’t Edward’s child, besides Jas Bennett, whose child could she be?
At this mont, Maya’s mind went blank. Her head hurt so much it felt like it was going to explode. Ultimately, her suspicions were confird.
She recalled Jas Bennett’s calm face, rembered his attentiveness towards her, and felt so angry she was gnashing her teeth, her eyes reddening.
She thought to herself, how could he have such a relationship with her mom and then ignore her? How could he not appear in her mom’s life for decades? How could he watch her wait for Edward her whole life?
Maya felt a deep sadness. She hated that man, hated him for disappearing from her mom’s diary after a fight and never seeking her out again.
Now, he found out she was his child, so he’s using a pitiful tactic to lure her back, wanting to acknowledge her as his own?
Maya was furious, eager to find Jas and throw this diary in his face, questioning him about how long this charade would last!
At this mont, Maya clutched the diary, her whole body trembling, never having felt such rage, never having hated anyone so much.
Even when she hated Liam for causing her to lose that child, she wasn’t as furious as she was now.
In her mind was the image of her mother’s death, and she began to imagine that perhaps her mother’s death was connected to Jas, that he might have been the one who caused it.
The more Maya thought about it, the more chaotic her mind beca, nearing a breakdown.
But she held back her anger, clutching that diary, and returned to the city center, heading straight for Jas Bennett’s villa.
She wanted to see what story Jas would concoct upon seeing this diary.
Maya arrived at Jas Bennett’s ho at four in the afternoon.
She hadn’t had a drop of water since morning. The only thing on her mind was seeking justice for her mom.
"Miss Maya, you’re here! Sir seems to be busy, I’ll go notify him for you." The servant said and hurriedly went to the study on the second floor. Maya followed behind her.
A mont later, Jas ca out of the study. Maya’s proactive visit to his ho brought a hint of surprise to him.
But seeing Maya’s pale face, Jas could roughly guess what was about to happen.
He took a deep breath, smiled at Maya, and said, "Maya, go to my study for a mont. I have sothing urgent to attend to, but I’ll be right up."
Then he looked at the servant and instructed, "Miss Fisher, let the kitchen prepare a few more dishes tonight, including the snacks Maya likes."
"Alright!" The servant responded and went downstairs to busy herself.
Maya watched Jas bustling around, her small hands tightly clenched in anger, yearning to confront him imdiately.
However, she suppressed her anger, stared directly at him, and watched him leave.
After Jas and the servant left, the study fell silent, so quiet that it felt unfamiliar to Maya, even though this wasn’t her first ti in Jas’s study.
She looked at the countless books on the shelves, looked at Jas’s desk, and thought how he spent years here in comfort while she and her mom were subjected to others’ disdain.
The tragedy of her and her mother wasn’t just caused by Edward, but by Jas Bennett as well.
If he hadn’t gotten her mom pregnant back then, and if her mom hadn’t brought her into the world as a burden, maybe their lives would have been different, and maybe her mom wouldn’t have died so early.
Thinking of her mom’s suicide, Maya felt unbalanced. That disaster she experienced felt like it happened just yesterday, igniting heartfelt rage within her.
At this mont, countless scenarios of confronting Jas played out in her mind. She was almost impatient, ready to throw her mom’s diary in his face and demand an explanation for her and her mom.
She regretted not stopping Jas earlier but had no choice but to wait for him here.
She took a deep breath, walked slowly to the desk, and stared fixedly at that lifeless desk, seeming to want to see what evidence could be unearthed from it.
Her subconscious told her that Jas not only knew she was his daughter, but there must be a test report hidden in his house.
She thought that a businessman as shrewd as he wouldn’t recklessly acknowledge soone else’s daughter. If he wasn’t certain, how could he manage to treat her so well?
Her subconscious told her she could search Jas’s study, and she would definitely find evidence that left Jas speechless and unable to refute her.
Thus, she, as if possessed, walked towards the desk and involuntarily opened one of its drawers.
Jas’s desk wasn’t locked, as no one dared to enter his study without permission, let alone rummage through his things.
When Maya opened the drawer, she found an envelope inside it.
Maya took a deep breath, unconsciously reached out her small hand to extract the envelope from the drawer, then opened it and took out the docunts inside.
Even though it was wrong to invade soone’s privacy, she couldn’t control her curiosity, she wanted to find evidence that would leave Jas without words.
When she took out the docunt and saw the words DNA test report, she was stunned.
Although the docunt didn’t have her na on it, she was almost certain from the blood type and various indicators that the subject being tested was her.
When she saw the docunt’s result, showing a 100% match with Jas Bennett’s DNA, Maya held her breath.
As expected, Jas had known about her identity early on. As soon as the third day of the exchange eting, he had obtained this report.
Maya stared directly at the report in her hands, rembering their first eting, when the man acted so friendly, even helping her take off her down jacket.
It was only now that Maya realized, as if awakened, that when Jas first saw her, upon hearing from her third brother that she was his fiancée, he began to suspect her identity, hence the closeness, and helping her with the jacket was just to take her hair for a DNA test.
Yet, when he did these things around her, she was completely unaware.
Thinking about Jas’s ’well-intentioned efforts’, a cold smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of Maya’s mouth.
She felt sorrowful, lanting how her mom only encountered n who were such scoundrels and so irresponsible. Edward refused to marry her, refused to give her a status, and Jas was even worse, ignoring her after their affair.
Maya hated, hated those who betrayed Madelyn Hanson, hated the n of this world, and even couldn’t recall the good in Liam at the mont.
She tightly held onto the diary and the test report, sitting at Jas Bennett’s desk, waiting for him to return.
Half an hour later, Jas appeared. When he pushed the study door open, he saw Maya sitting motionless at his desk, seething with rage, clutching an old notebook and a stack of docunts.
