Chapter 863:
Bryan wasnât sure if she was playfully teasing him or just being genuine. She was still laughing. âWhy are you still laughing? Now, even I wonât be able to get Conroyâs blood,â Bryan said.
Eileen stopped laughing, swung open the car door, and exited with Gabriela in her arms.
âWell, you did say youâd handle it for me, so youâll have to manage it no matter what.â
She was clearly leaving the matter to him.
Bryan also exited the car. He casually placed a hand on Eileenâs waist. âWhose blood is in these tubes? Can you guess?â he asked.
They entered the elevator. The doors slid shut, enclosing them in silence. Bryanâs question lingered in the air.
Eileen, oblivious to the lack of needle marks on Jessicaâs arm, said instinctively, âConroyâs?â
âI think youâve got a ninety percent chance of being right. Let me confirm it for you,â Bryanâs eyebrows shot up playfully.
The elevator dinged as they reached the top floor, and Eileen walked out, Bryan following her. Bryan gestured for her to go to his office.
He then entered Conroyâs office, pulled up a chair, and sat. He got straight to the point. âConroy, is that project report done yet?â
âNot quite, Mr. Dawson. Iâve been swamped lately, and I canât trust something this sensitive to just anyone. I hope you understand,â Conroy replied.
âNo worries.â Bryan tapped the table. âHand over the files. Iâll take care of it.â

âThanks, Mr. Dawson,â Conroy said. âI need to tell you that on the third page of this documentââ Conroy flipped to page three and pointed out a specific line to explain his point.
However, Bryan suddenly grabbed Conroyâs wrist, his grip tight. Conroy was taken aback. The next second, Bryanâs hand moved up Conroyâs arm, landing right where his daughter had drawn those three marks of blood.
âOuch!â Conroy instinctively yanked his arm back.
âMr. Dawson, what are you doing?â
âThe fabric of your suit is good, Mr. Finch. The sleeve of your arm is made of the same material as the suit. Is it worth a lot of money?â Bryan asked calmly.
Conroy looked down at his suit, confused. What kind of suit didnât have matching sleeves?
Still, he nodded. âYes, itâs custom-made, quite expensive. But not as pricey as yours.â
âNaturally.â Bryan stood, looking down at the files.
âYou think you still need to explain something in the files, right? Then maybe you should handle the report yourself. Hand the report to me as soon as you finish it.â With that, Bryan left and headed back to his office. He said to Eileen, âCall Raymond and ask which hospital he went to. Get your blood drawn and run a paternity test with the blood Jessica sent.â
He was now almost certain that the blood was Conroyâs.
