Rubbing his chin, Zack was lost in thought.
Tristan also didn't understand why Ivan had used Zack's DNA to do a paternity test. The Clarke Group had no grudges against the Marsh Group. Therefore, he was confused.
"Mr. Clarke," Tristan reminded him, "No matter what, you need to be careful."
Zack returned to his senses. "Ehn." Ivan made a move, so he was alert by instinct naturally.
After Tristan was gone, Zack stopped working.
He recalled the information received earlier. Ivan had been looking for the other half of the crystal.
That was why he let Ivan see his half.
Recalling how Ivan reacted after seeing the crystal and sent Leeny into his house to fetch his toothbrush, Zack was surprised Ivan had sent his DNA to the paternity test.
A scene hidden in his memory was awakened.
It was 22 years ago.
"Michelle, I'm giving this half of crystal for your birthday. You are my precious baby."
In the afternoon, under the sunlight, Zack held a girl with plaits in his arms, pecking her cheeks dotingly.
"Why do you only give me a half, Dad?" Michelle played with the crystal curiously. "Did you break it?"
"Nope." Zack explained to her patiently, "This crystal contained two halves. When they combine together, they become one. Dad keeps the other half."
"Thank you for the gift, Dad. I love it."
"I love you, baby..."
Recalling the harmonious scene decades ago, Zack almost shed tears. He sucked in his breath, sipped some coffee, and adjusted his mood.
He had a strong hunch, thinking Ivan must have seen the other half of crystal and met his daughter, who had been missing for many years.
Immediately, Zack closed his file. Excitedly, he picked up his suit jacket, stood up, and strode out of the president's office.
