After calming down, Eleanor Sterling began to recall many things.
How could the lab check reveal Estelle Sterling as Jasper Faulkner? What on earth was going on?
Various doubts surfaced in her mind.
Eleanor could only start by saying, "Professor, there are so things I need to figure out first. I’ll speak with you later."
"Alright, you go ahead."
Eleanor hung up the call with Brian Zane.
She directly found Liam Keene’s number and dialed it. The call was answered after two rings.
Liam Keene said, "Hello, Sally, I have sent you the address. Did you see it?"
Eleanor’s voice was stern, carrying a slight interrogative coldness, "Is there sothing you’re hiding from ?"
There was silence on the other end for quite a while.
Then Liam’s extrely guilty voice ca through, "Ahaha, how could I possibly hide anything from you? Maybe you got it wrong."
Eleanor’s voice grew even colder.
"You know the lab’s regulations. I don’t need to remind you of the consequences of tampering with test results without authorization."
Liam was frightened; he whimpered and imdiately admitted defeat, repeatedly saying, "I... I was wrong! It was Estelle who asked to help and so I hid it from you. I really didn’t an to!"
Eleanor exhaled deeply.
Liam’s admission proved that Brian Zane’s test was correct, easing her worry that he might have made a mistake.
"Sally, I really didn’t an to deceive you, don’t bla Estelle either. Maybe he was too worried, and that’s why he did it."
Eleanor asked coldly, "What did Estelle ask you to do?"
Liam had already been exposed, and naturally didn’t dare to hide anymore. He cleared his throat and said, "Uh, Estelle initially gave four packs of blood samples.
They were his own, the young Faulkner’s, Jasper Faulkner’s, and Alaric Faulkner’s.
So I tested and found that Estelle and the young Faulkner were biological brothers, and also Jasper Faulkner’s child.
Then they asked to keep it a secret and alter the report data. Later, due to my negligence and failure to brief the lab side, you found out the result."
After listening, Eleanor fell into silence.
After a long while, she finally spoke, "Are you sure there was no mistake in the test?"
"Our lab’s testing process is rigorous; it’s impossible for mistakes to occur. But now that you ntion it, I do recall one matter."
"What matter?"
Liam sighed, "The first ti Estelle gave the blood sample, it was unlabelled.
If you think there was a problem with the result, then could it be that the samples were swapped?"
His words were like a sudden enlightennt, and Eleanor felt as if she’d figured everything out.
Brian Zane produced such a result because he personally extracted Alaric Faulkner’s blood sample, so there couldn’t be any mistake on his end.
And she also had the sample she just obtained from Alaric Faulkner; she was going to conduct another test, and this ti the sample absolutely wouldn’t have any issues.
"Has Estelle’s blood sample arrived?"
Liam pondered for a mont, "It should arrive today, are you going to personally verify it again?"
Eleanor nodded, "Yes, your previous test results have so issues, I need to confirm them."
Liam was shocked, "So, this ans Estelle’s father isn’t the second Faulkner son? Who is he then?"
Eleanor’s eyes were filled with somberness, her lips slightly parted, "I’ll tell you the result once it’s out; don’t make this matter public for now."
"Okay, got it."
Later, Estelle Sterling’s blood samples were delivered to Eleanor.
After receiving them, she went directly into the laboratory.
The lab owner is Parker, a foreign Chinese citizen. When his assistant reported that Sally was still busy in the lab, he sighed with admiration.
He went to take a look, saw Eleanor still deeply engrossed in her lab work, so he took a photo and posted it on social dia, praising Sally for her diligence.
Suddenly, nurous industry bigwigs liked and comnted on the post.
Subsequently, news about Sally in Lyria spread quickly, and so speculated whether she was attending the dical conference.
Others direct ssaged him inquiring about Sally’s whereabouts, but none received any response.
