Chapter 343
Even After Death
Ethan took a sip of the water and set it aside. He didnât set the glass down properly, causing it to fall on
the floor. The glass fell on the carpet, but it didnât break. The carpet absorbed the water from the glass.
Brent looked at the wet carpet, finding it weird that Ethan would make such a careless mistake.
Ethan stood up immediately, his face filled with urgency.
Brent wondered what Kelvin could have brought back to cause Ethan to be so agitated.
Kelvin came in through the rain. Several raindrops had fallen on the paper bag he was holding in his
arms. He quickly handed the paper bag to Ethan with his rain-soaked arms.
He was running when he came in. Water was dripping from his head, and he was still panting.
âMr. Miller, I was with the sample all the way, from the extraction of the sample to the testing and the
generation of the results. I had my eyes on it the whole time.
âDonât worry, no one else got their hands on it. The results this time are completely authentic.â
Ethan took the paper bag in his hands. He was so anxious, but he suddenly dared not open the bag.
Brent saw the hesitation in his eyes. âMr. Miller, why donât I look at it for you?â
Ethan opened his eyes and took a deep breath. His gaze became determined.
âNo need.â
His fingers held the white string on the paper bag and unraveled it.
Brent could see Ethanâs hands trembling. The trembling was very severe.
The paper bag was opened, and Ethan took the report out.
His expression became complicated when he saw the report. There was excitement, happiness,
and sorrow.
One moment, he was smiling. The next moment, he sat on the couch, clutching his head with guilt.
Brentâs curiosity was piqued. He glanced at the report and saw the results. The DNA samples were
highly mismatched, and there wasnât a biological link.
âThisâ¦â Brent said softly.
Even Kelvin understood what was coinm su WT I
sea two years ago wasnât Ms. Millerâs.â
Brent denied it firmly. âThatâs impossible. We did a test to verify it. How could it go wrong? Mr. Miller
doesnât have any other family members.â
âBrent, this paternity report was done with the DNA from that same body. As you can see, they arenât
related by blood. That report back then was forged.â
Brent was stunned. âWho did that body belong to if not Ms. Millerâs?â
âShe was Jodie. That was all she ever was. But we hadnât seen Ms. Miller for so long, and we mistook
her for Ms. Miller. Her face somewhat resembled Ms. Millerâs face as a child, and coupled with the
forged DNA report, we were misled to think she was Ms. Miller.â
Kelvin thought for a while and added, âMaybe her face was even altered beforehand so we would find it
believable.â
Brent was deeply shaken, and his heart kept beating heavily.
Kelvin looked at the despondent Ethan. âThere is good and bad news. The good news is that Ms. Miller
is alive and has been taking care of Mr. Miller by his side all these years.
âThe bad news is that Mr. Miller thought she was dead and took out his anger on Mrs. Miller and the
Fordhams.â
Ethan finally understood that Leia was the one behind everything. He became emotionally unstable
after learning of her death. The forged evidence was enough for him to pin everything on Jeff.
It was like he was in a trance back then. Whenever he saw Oliviaâs lively and joyful smile, he thought of
his dead sister and would have the urge to hurt her.
He realized that the things he had done to Olivia were unforgivable. He had hurt the woman he loved
the most with his own hands.
He had the answers to everything now. There was only one question.
âWhy would Ms. Miller do all those things to Mrs. Miller? Did they have any grudges? Why would she
spend so many resources to create such a massive deception?
