Chapter 149
Joseph smiled and shook hands with the others.
Diego remembered Audrey’s request not to reveal her identity as the founder of Evergreen Biotech, he simply said, “This is Audrey. She’s currently working at Evergreen Biotech.”
“Audrey, I’ve heard so much about you! You made a big impression at the exchange meeting in Slovomia four years ago!” An older biologist shook hands with Audrey.
“It’s a pity I couldn’t attend that time. My colleague said you were very admirable. I haven’t heard much about you since then. Is it because of your work at Evergreen Biotech?”
“Yes.” Audrey nodded. “Many experiments involve confidentiality, you see. But I do enjoy the feeling of being immersed in my lab work.”
The group chatted happily.
Since Audrey claimed to be solely focused on her experiments, she brushed off any attempts to inquire about the founder of Evergreen Biotech, saying she hadn’t met them and wasn’t interested
anyway.
Audrey joined her former lab seniors for dinner at Justin and Daphne’s home that evening.
The housekeeper had prepared everything and took the children to Daphne’s mother’s house.
The group gathered around the table.
They ate and shared stories from their lab days–most of which were jokes by Daphne–leaving Audrey laughing heartily.
Joseph’s phone had been vibrating in his pocket the whole time. He glanced at Audrey, then walked to the balcony to answer the call.
“Nathan, please don’t call me anymore,” Joseph said. “I won’t tell you anything about Audrey! I won’t relay messages for you or tell you that the child is yours!”
Joseph realized he had let something slip and quickly covered his mouth.
There was dead silence on the other end of the phone.
After a while, Joseph spoke again, “Nathan, please stop interfering with Audrey’s life! Just marry Amelia properly! Spare yourself… and spare Audrey!”
He hung up the phone and returned to the table, joining Audrey in lively conversation.
On the other end of the phone, Carol urged, “How did it go? What did Joseph say?”
Nathan was in utter shock.
In other words, that sweet little girl was really his daughter!

Carol became even more auxious seeing Nathan’s ashen face and rapid breathing.
