278.Chapter 278
He planned to have divorce papers delivered to her every single day. If she still refused after a week, he’d file for divorce in court himself-no more games
The next day.
She went to see a friend who worked at a private hospital and asked them to help arrange a paternity test
It would only take a couple of hours to get the results back.
So Alicia waited in the hospital lobby for the results.
While Alicia was waiting, Jason called her.
“I found out something,” Jason said.
“There’s security footage showing Julian turning up twice at places where Mavis was present.
“And both times, he was watching her closely.
“He probably knows about Mavis’s messed-up crush on your ex-dad.
“So that whole incident where Mavis got dragged to the hotel as a stand-in? It was almost definitely his scheme-he was pulling the strings from the start.”
He’s a miracle doctor-messing with a drunk Mavis would’ve been child’s play for him.
Julian paused, then added, “I dug up something else-before your mom and dad got together, Julian was actually chasing after her.
“That accident where lan ended up unable to have kids? Pretty sure Julian was the one who set that up.
“He wanted lan out of the way so he could step in himself.
“But instead, your ex-dad swooped in and took advantage of the whole mess.
“He wasn’t chasing after your mom as himself-he was using a fake identity, posing as the son or nephew of one of your grandpa’s old friends.
“He kept it all super low-key, and your mom just totally ignored him-she was cold, distant, never gave him a chance. So lan and your ex-dad didn’t even notice he was around.”
Alicia blinked in shock. “Seriously? That actually happened?
“Bet he wasn’t even into my mom for real, huh?”
‘Guys like him aren’t capable of real feelings anyway, Alicia thought to herself.
Her mom totally ignored that guy-just goes to show she couldn’t stand him./
Jason said, “He probably figured your ex-dad was head over heels for your mom and had been chasing her forever, so he tried to cut in and snatch her away.
“But not only did he blow it, he actually ended up doing your ex-dad a favor without even meaning to.
“After that, his family called him back for a closed-door medical retreat that lasted years, so he couldn’t stir up trouble outside anymore.
“With him out of the picture, your ex-dad finally got to marry your mom.
“He did come out for about a month during that time, and that’s when he hooked up with Mavis. After that, he got called back home again.
“By the time he came out again, Mavis had already married your dad.
“But when he came out that time, he probably called in favors and had people keeping an eye on Mavis the whole time.
“No way she could’ve married your ex-dad that easily without Julian giving her a push from the shadows.
“He used his medical skills to either buy people off or blackmail them, turning them into his own puppets.
“He even managed to get the closest confidants of your ex-dad and brothers under his thumb.
“I suspect he’s already planted some of his own agents inside Hammond Group.
“His goal is either to take over Hammond Group for himself or to ruin it completely.”
Jason’s voice dropped, cold and dangerous. “A Successfully unlocked! the Hammond family-make sure they’re left
in ruins.”
Alicia’s eyes darkened. “So that’s how it all fits together.”

Chapter 278
‘So Julian was the one who killed me in my last life.
After I was gone, the rest of the Hammond family probably got destroyed too, she thought, a bitter chill running through
her.
“Is there any real proof he’s done something illegal?” Alicia asked, her eyes narrowing
