Chapter 223
“Well? The baby in Mia Carter’s belly… is it Ethan’s or not!?”
Cole Preston held two transparent vials in his hands. He looked down, fiddling with them, appearing perfectly composed. “Do you want it to be his, or not?”
Chloe Bennett was frantic with anxiety. “Why are you talking so much nonsense? Does it matter what I want?”
Cole calmly set the vials down and peeled off his gloves. “Here are the paternity test results. See for yourself.”
He pulled a report from a drawer and handed it over.
Chloe snatched it instantly.
The result displayed: Non-biological relationship.*
“This… the child isn’t Ethan’s!?”
She looked stunned, her furrowed brows betraying her utter confusion.
Cole raised an eyelid. “Since it’s not his, shouldn’t you be happy?”
“Could there be a mistake?” Chloe didn’t believe it!

Now, Chloe wasn’t the only one with leverage. Cole had plenty on her as well.
‘Cole, you dare threaten me!?” Chloe’s face flushed with rage.
Cole’s expression was icy, devoid of any warmth or emotion. “This ends here.”
Right in front of Chloe, he pulled out his phone and sent a voice message to Mia. “Miss Carter, the results are in. It was a false alarm. The fetus is perfectly healthy.”
He spoke slowly and clearly, making sure Chloe heard every word. Once he released the button, the message was
sent.
Chloe was shaking with fury. “Fine, Cole. Just you wait!”

long. It made her look incredibly ugly.
The office door slammed shut with a deafening bang.

Cole stood in a shaft of sunlight, yet he looked utterly desolate. He stared at the paternity test for a long time before whispering, “Ethan, I guess I owe you one.”
