A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 208

Alexis gave him a call, “Are you in the office? I'll personally deliver the results to your office in ten minutes!”

Ten minutes later, Alexis arrived.

Alexis, dressed in a trim suit, his face as cold as ever, handed the document in his hand to William. "Here's his entire profile, but there are parts that are too old to investigate clearly."

William froze for a moment, "There are still things your men can't find out?"

"You should read the information first!" Alexis said, "My men are also human, not gods!"

William flipped through the papers, his eyes sinking and growing shocked. "Is this true?"

"The details are all there!" Alexis said, "By the way, is Daniel your son?"

William nodded, "Yes, Daniel is my son! Alexis, if it weren't for you, I think I might not know when I would have found my son, thank you!"

Alexis shook his head. "You are really slow on the uptake! Your own son has grown up so much and you still can't tell if he's your son or not."

"Yes! I am really too stupid." William let out a sigh. After another look at the report, he knitted his brows and said, "If Peter is really my half-brother, there's no way Dad doesn't know about it! And he was only born a month before me, how could Dad not know?"

The identity of Peter on the investigation report - he was actually his half-brother. This was what the report said.

Alexis nodded and said, "Will, his mother is Ava Mollison, and she is currently living in Switzerland! She moved to Switzerland five years ago and has never married in her life. It appears from the records that she only had a relationship with Mr. Rowland, but the records may not be completely correct, as there is a gap of about three months. That's when Mr. Rowland and Mrs. Rowland got married.

"Ava?" William was stunned, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

"She's Mrs. Rowland's bestie! Best friend from the same class and dormitory."

He thought to himself, 'Umm! Yes, Mrs. Howe did talk about this woman! But how did Ava get pregnant with Dad's child?'

William fell into a trance, "The report also doesn't mention that Dad had fallen in love with Peter's mother before he met Mom. How could this be?"

"They were never together, Mr. Rowland never even looked her in the eye, but she loved Mr. Rowland. We have investigated from other roommates in Mrs. Rowland's dormitory and all have confirmed that the woman Mr. Rowland always loved was Mrs. Rowland. About this, you'd better ask Mr. Rowland! I think he'll remember who Ava is! You can also determine if he and Ava ever had sex. Thirty-one years ago, he did spend a night with Ava in a hotel. It's mentioned in the records, but we don't know what the ending is."

William nodded in confusion. "I'll go back and ask Dad!"

'How did this happen?'

'Peter is his brother?'

'How did this happen?'

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Alexis got up from his seat, "I'm leaving, let's talk on the phone."

"All right!" William nodded.

The door was opened, and the person standing at the door was Peter. William didn't expect the comer to be him, while Alexis's sharp eyes swept over Peter's face and strode away.

William kept the report in the drawer, raised his head, his expression returning to calm, and looked steadily at Peter, "Peter, anything wrong?"

Peter had one hand in the pocket of his suit pants, being so indifferent and calm. He narrowed his eyes slightly, which were meaningful under the short black hair.

"Yes!" Peter walked in and sat down opposite William, crossing his arms and looking at William calmly. "There are some things that need your approval."

The two men's vision intersected. William was calm, looking carefully at Peter's face, the intention of gauging was not obvious.

Peter noticed William's expression and was a little shocked inside. He didn't expect that within these few years, William had been so calm that he actually couldn't read his mind.

He didn't know how much William had held in hand, and he came to him this time to confirm how much he had in his possession. He felt that it was not yet the time to have a falling-out with William. Therefore, Peter didn't dare to speculate, but he had long since learned to maintain his composure.

For more than thirty years, Ava had worn a woebegone look every day, yet she didn't allow him to come to John in any way. All these years, only he knew how hard Ava had been, and he just couldn't understand why Ava chose to live this way? Why did she let John who gave him life, but ruined her life at the same time, be irresponsible to them? Why was Ava always in tears every time he mentioned John?

He wanted to do justice to Ava's loneliness and isolation all these years, and that was why he lurked in the Rowland Group for eight years until he was now the department manager, William's trusted subordinate and best friend.

After all, they were real brothers.

He didn't care about the Rowland Group, all he wanted was justice.

The two men exchanged greetings and looked at each other, as if they were secretly testing each other's reality.

Peter paid attention to William's face, which was calm and with a faint smile, except that his eyes were sharp. "I'm here to discuss the overseas investment project with you, when can we allocate funds?"

William's heart sank, but there were no fluctuations on his face, "How's the inspection?"

"Everything has been approved, we're just waiting for your instructions!" Peter said.

"All right!" William nodded, "Then send me the documents and I'll ask the chairman for instructions!"

He speculated that Peter might have a hidden agenda and didn't grant him on the spot, but fearing that he might get suspicious, William continued, "I'll get back to you this afternoon!"

"Okay! I'll go first then!" Peter nodded and said.

"Okay!" William followed suit.

In the study of the Rowland residence.

William was sullen all the way home as he didn't know how to ask John about Ava. If the reports were true, he really didn't know how to handle it.
