Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 306

The fax read,"Now the fight between old and new parties has entered a critical stage. With less finance than the old party, the new party might take a chance. Molly hasn't been exposed yet. But if they find out that Molly is Justin's daughter, the old party might use it against the new one. It also seems that Steven is back and working for them and is being used as a scapegoat for the new party. Jonny is, of course, investigating this whole thing. And if people put two and two together and this gets exposed then it's over the new party. "

Brian flipped the document over where the DNA test reports were - three, specifically. One each for Steven, Rory, and Molly. The DNA test report confirmed that Molly was indeed Justin's daughter.

Brian squinted his eyes and curled his lips. He was right. Justin raped Sharon, not Rory. Even Sharon didn't know this.

Brian scoffed and headed over to the shredder. He slid the reports in and within seconds, the document was gone.

Brian's phone started buzzing - someone was calling him. He picked it up and answered,"How's Eric doing?"

"He's awake now." Tony informed him.

"Okay," Brian responded,"I'm on my way. I'll be there soon."

Brian arrived at the Dragon Empire Group hospital an hour later. Eric, in his robe, was having a cup of tea at the balcony. He was unmoved and just staring at the sky.

The door opened. Eric turned to see who it was,"Brian," he greeted.

"Are you okay?" Brian asked, concerned as he sat beside him.

Eric smiled, touched at his brother's concern,"Of course, I am. Nothing to worry about here."

Brian nodded,"Don't get involved." He went straight to the point.

"How can I just stand at the side, watch, and do nothing?" Eric asked coldly. "They started this and if I don't do anything, humiliating, not just for me but also for Dragon Island."

"But did you think about the consequences, Eric," Brian asked.

"Consequences? Huh," Eric said, sarcastically. "I don't have a choice but to get involved. And I don't care what happens - the Congress could fire me, if they wanted," Eric admitted.

"And if I think you're wrong?" Brian said calmly as he poured himself a cup of tea. "Well, you can get involved all you want and leave the Congress while you're at it, but personally, I don't want to go back to the Congress."

Eric smiled at Brian in response,"Brian, you have a responsibility to the Congress."

"The head of XK Intelligence Agency leads the Dragon Island." Brian took a sip of tea before continuing,"Eric, you were born into this family. You should know your obligations."

Eric was silent after Brian said this, he was just staring outside, his eyes resentful. After a while, he opened his mouth, choosing his words carefully,"Fine. I won't get involved. You can take in the reins for this one. But you have to promise me one thing - that Molly is safe."

This made Brian frown. He squinted his eyes at Eric, watching him,"Eric, don't you think you're going way overboard for Molly?"

Eric smiled and looked at Brian square in the eyes,"Brian, I've let go of Becky because Molly is worth more of my attention, my love, my care."
