Chapter 57
There was no blood relation shown in this report.
Tarquin’s brow furrowed as he examined the DNA test results. He felt an odd mix of emotions though he had somewhat anticipated this outcome. If Elysia were truly Elijah’s biological mother, there was no reason for her to hide the truth. After all, acknowledging their relationship would be in her best financial interest, no matter how one looked at it.
Still, Tarquin asked further, “Did you do this yourself?”
“Yeah, I didn’t even let my assistant touch it.”
Tarquin’s frown deepened but he said nothing more. He stuffed the report into a envelope, handed it to Lowell, and turned to head back to Elijah’s hospital room.
Benjamin was a tad confused, “Whose DNA results are those?”
Lowell replied, “I’m guessing it’s between Ms. Thorne and Elijah.”
Benjamin’s eyes widened in shock, “Tarquin suspects Ms. Thorne is Elijah’s mom? Why on earth would he think that? Elijah doesn’t even resemble her.”
“It might be because of that night at the bar when Ms. Thorne kissed him. It probably triggered some memories.”
Benjamin was even more stunned, “Ms. Thorne kissed him?!”
Lowell nodded significantly, “And he didn’t push her away.”
“Holy smokes! Is Tarquin gonna leave his life as a bachelor?”
“Hmm, I’d say there’s a chance. Better start treating Ms. Thorne nicely; she might just be the one to save Tarquin and become the lady of the house.” Lowell answered.
As soon as Lowell finished speaking, his phone rang. It was a call from one of the bodyguards, “Boss, we’ve spotted Ms. Thorne. She’s with Gideon.”
Lowell was taken aback, “With who?”
“Gideon.”
Lowell was helpless. He had just finished suggesting that she could be part of the family, and now she was spotted cozying up with their enemy.
“Are you sure it’s her? No mistake?” he asked.
“Positive. Sent you the photos. Check them out.”
After hanging up, Lowell hurriedly opened the photos. Sure enough, it was Elysia with Gideon. It looked like they were deep in conversation over coffee.

Benjamin was astonished, “Ms. Thome knows Gideon?”
Lowell frowned, “I need to talk to Tarquin about this.”
He took his phone to the hospital room where Elijah was still resting. Lowell handed the phone to Tarquin and whispered, “Ms. Thorne is having coffee with Gideon.”
Tarquin’s gaze darkened as he looked at the photo, a menacing aura emanating from him.
Meanwhile, Elysia was blissfully unaware that she had been caught in a misunderstanding and was currently the subject of Tarquin’s suspicion.
She was looking at the silver–haired man before her, utterly baffled.
She had been chatting with Blossom when an unexpected call came through, claiming there was important business to discuss with her.
Upon arriving, she was greeted by Gideon. But she didn’t recognize him, “May I ask who you are?”
