I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 512

Under the Kendalls' protection, it was nearly impossible to get a sample of little Ian's hair for a paternity test.

Zoe was now protected by The Military Personnel Command. If he forced the issue, he would face severe disciplinary action.

The report Colin submitted proved that Zoe had indeed undergone IVF. The father was anonymous. The clinic didn't care about the origins; they only froze high-quality donations for clients in need. Once the transaction was complete, all identifying information about the male donor was wiped. The daily volume at such clinics was staggering. The chances of tracking down a record from over a year ago were zero.

Hayden's heart was a chaotic mess of frustration. He seemed completely distracted, barely registering what Sienna was saying or doing.

"Really?"

As long as he wasn't disgusted by her, Sienna felt reassured and confident.

Hayden's desk was visibly piled high with documents that looked untouched. Over the years, he had poured all his energy into Easton Group, naturally neglecting Thorne Enterprises. It made sense that work had piled up.

Her gaze softened as she accepted his excuse of being busy.

Easton Group was expanding under her leadership, growing more powerful by the day. Their revenue was probably something Thorne Enterprises could never catch up to. It was understandable that Easton's success had sent shockwaves through other companies, prompting Hayden to return and reorganize.

Thinking of this, Sienna couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. If Thorne Enterprises really faced financial trouble, she could easily divert funds from Easton Group to bail him out—all he had to do was ask. A mother would help a father, and she was naturally willing to help Hayden.

Then Grandmother Beatrice would surely look at her with newfound respect. Who else was fit to be Mrs. Thorne but her?

Hayden didn't bother explaining his frustrations to her and remained silent.

Sienna didn't dare press him further.

"Mr. Thorne, the venture capital department is ready. Should we start the meeting now?" A manager knocked and entered, only realizing Sienna was there midway through his sentence. He immediately started to back out. Usually, when Ms. Winters was present, they knew better than to stick around.
