Chapter 624



Seeing Nora, Justin hurriedly got up and went out to greet her. Xander whistled and said, “Your tigress is here?”

Justin: “…”

He shot a warning look at Xander. After Xander shut his mouth, he looked back at Nora.

Nora had already arrived in front of them. Her gaze avoided Justin and looked at Xander.

Ignored, Justin’s lips twitched before he gestured to Xander. “Come here.”

Xander pursed his lips and approached the two with a disdainful expression. Then, he looked past Nora and looked up at the sky. “Say hello to her,” Justin ordered.

Xander raised his eyebrows. “Okay, you’re the one asking me to greet her.”

Justin: “?”

A bad feeling had just risen in his heart when he saw Xander greet Nora. “Hey, tigress!”

The whole room suddenly went silent.

Nora frowned and looked at Justin. She asked coldly, “Did you ask him to call me that?”

Justin flatly denied it. “No.”

Xander said, “It was you, Demon King. You made me call you that. How was I supposed to know what tigress meant at my young age?”

Justin: “…”

This time, it was really hard to explain. He wanted to explain himself, but he saw Nora frowning.

Justin’s heart was instantly even more disturbed.

However, Nora was thinking, why was this boy’s tone so familiar?

At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. Nora lowered her head and saw that it was Lily. She nodded to Justin and took the call. The other party said something and she nodded. Then she said it had been hard for her and hung up. She looked up again and nodded to Justin. Justin said, “Take Xander to the room upstairs.”

“Yes, sir.”

The butler approached elegantly and said to Xander, “Xander, please follow me upstairs.”

Xander looked at Justin and looked back at Nora. His eyes darted back and forth before he said, “Dad, can I go to the basement?”

Justin narrowed his eyes.

Was this boy finally thinking about Ruth, had he realized his conscience?

He lowered his eyes in thought for a moment and nodded.

Then Xander said, “He hasn’t eaten in a long time. Can I bring him something to eat?”

Justin didn’t want to leave any psychological trauma on the child. Besides, he had other plans, so he nodded and agreed. “Go to the kitchen and pick something.”

Xander nodded and went to the kitchen.

The chef was still standing there as he asked, “Xander, shall I take away the roasted rabbit that you don’t like?”

“No need, no need. It’s too cruel.”

Xander was quick to wave his hands. “You people don’t know how to appreciate life. You can’t kill animals.”

The chef was speechless.

Xander put his hands behind his back and walked into the kitchen. “Let me see what’s good, do you have any vegetables?”

The chef was quick to say, “Yes, they’re all fresh organic vegetables. Can I make another one for you?”

“No need.” Xander continued, “You know the best thing to eat is food in its original state? If you cook it, it won’t have the original flavor! Hey, these vegetables and that carrot over there look good. Let’s go get them.”

Xander picked up a yellowish vegetable leaf that the cook had picked up while cooking and a dried carrot. Then, he looked at the butler. “Come on, come on!”

The butler’s lips twitched as well and he led Xander toward the basement.

The two quickly disappeared from the room.

After confirming that Xander couldn’t hear their conversation, Justin looked at Nora. Before he could ask, Nora replied, “No.”

Justin was stunned, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

It wasn’t…

But if it wasn’t, why had Nora come to see him?

According to her way of life, even if she had such a son, she wouldn’t be so proactive if she didn’t care about him.

Justin was thinking when he heard Nora continue, “When I called you, Lily had just had the results. We are not mother and son. The DNA similarity is only 80%.”

Justin frowned.

He was thinking about something when he heard Nora continue, “So, I asked Lily to compare her DNA to yours.”

When Justin heard this, his eyes narrowed instantly. “You mean…”

Nora said slowly, “Don’t forget what kind of organization Trueman is from.”

Justin understood instantly. “You mean this child could have been injected with a genetic serum?”

“Yes.” Nora sat down on the couch. “The younger a child is, the more their genes change after being injected. I’ve personally come to take a look to confirm if he really is your son.”

Justin asked, “So what do you think of him?”

“He looks almost exactly like you. He must be your son. But… Lily just called me after doing a DNA comparison between you and him. Your genetic similarity is only 93%.”

93%…

What kind of result was this? Only cousins or relatives had this percentage. If they were biological father and son, it should be 99%.

Justin realized something.

Nora said again, “So I’m sure this child was injected with a genetic serum. Therefore, my DNA comparison with him cannot be taken into account.”

Justin hesitated for a moment. “Isn’t there a way to investigate?”

“Yes, there is.”

Nora looked at him confidently. “Genetic changes mean that the DNA sequence has changed. We can extract samples from different locations and send them to Lily, she can reconstruct the original DNA sequence. When the time comes, she can do it with us separately.”

When Justin heard this answer, he nodded. “Lily will have a lot of work.”

“Yes, but it will take her a while.”

When Nora finished speaking, Justin suddenly came to her side and pulled out his phone to hand it to her. He rubbed her hand affectionately. “Then let’s see if Ruth is her mother, first.”

He tapped his phone a couple of times with his fingers and opened the surveillance video from the basement.

Justin hadn’t asked Xander to come down earlier because he wanted to confirm.

After all, Ruth was in a life or death situation. A hungry person wouldn’t be very careful and would definitely expose the truth.
