Chapter 567

Affregain his influence in Chanaca within a few days.”

Sienna nodded. “Okay. Even if he disagrees, I will find a way to make this work. I can’t continue watching him be tortured by Gwendolyn.”

Just like that, the matter was decided.

After offering a few comforting words, Annie went upstairs to her room.

As Sienna watched Annie’s slender and beautiful figure disappear gradually up the stairs, her expression became serious.

Annie was a careful person. Although they had discussed the matter extensively, she didn’t reveal anything related to Evelyn. She even used work as an excuse to shield her resentment toward Gwendolyn.

She’s a smart woman. It’ll be difficult to deal with her.

An hour later, Sienna pretended to go out shopping. Instead, she went to a safe place to call Gwendolyn.

Sienna reported every detail of her conversation and plans with Annie to Gwendolyn.

“I don’t think this can be easily resolved, Gwen. She’s quite clever. From what she said, I can’t find any evidence that Evelyn is related to this.”

After thinking about what Sienna just told her, Gwendolyn started to analyze.

“How can there be no problem? She repeatedly mentions her desire to become you and Asher’s relative and tries to get close to you. Based on this alone, I have doubts about her true identity.”

Sienna fell silent, thinking that Gwendolyn’s words made sense.

Gwendolyn continued on the phone, “Since she suggested collaborating with you to take me down, let’s follow her plan. Help me persuade Asher to agree as soon as possible.”

“Okay, don’t worry.”

“Another thing. If you have time, find a way to obtain a few strands of Annie’s hair for me. Our parents may not be alive, but a DNA test can still be conducted with a half-sibling.”

Annie could argue all she wanted, but once the DNA test results came out, she wouldn’t be able to deny the truth.

“Okay. Don’t worry, Gwen.”

Gwendolyn was on the way to Harris Group when her conversation with Sienna ended.

It seems like Annie is finally going to take action. And here I was worried that she would hold back, but it appears I’ve overestimated her.

At the thought of the DNA test, Gwendolyn sent a message to Kieran. After asking about things between him and Inez, she told him she had a small favor to ask once he returned to Salinsburgh.

To carry out a DNA test, they needed to find a reputable hospital.

However, ever since the incident of her being falsely accused of being an illegitimate daughter, she couldn’t trust any hospital other than Kieran’s.

Meanwhile, at Mossey Corporation in Fairlake, Inez was conducting a meeting in the conference room.

As Inez’s secretary, Kieran stood not far behind her obediently, ready to take orders at any time.

The major shareholders present were all prominent figures in Fairlake.

Many of them had seen Kieran before. Even if they hadn’t, they recognized him through news photos back when he was popular in the medical field.

Therefore, no one dared to order him around or ask him to fetch them a drink even though he was now a secretary, In fact, his identity as the second son of Salinsburgh’s wealthiest family was the reason for the tension in the conference room. All of the stakeholders were sitting upright and afraid of saying something wrong.

However, Kieran was unaware that his presence was causing such pressure on the others in the conference room. He dutifully jotted down key meeting notes as instructed by Inez.

Beep beep.

It was the sound of a message notification from a phone.

Kieran’s writing hand came to a stop because he had distinctly felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.

He had forgotten to switch it to silent mode before entering the room because he didn’t have much experience attending meetings.

The short sound of the message notification didn’t cause much commotion at first. Everyone pretended not to hear it, including Inez, who was listening attentively to the report.

That was until…

Beep beep.

Beep beep.

The message notification continued to ring five or six times.

It was impossible for people not to notice it. Even the shareholder who was giving the report stopped speaking.

As silence ensued in the conference room, Kieran tensed up.

He could clearly feel everyone’s gaze upon him. Embarrassed, he lowered his head and secretly searched Inez’s face.

Inez looked serious as she stared at him.

“Please switch your phone to silent mode, Mr. Harris,” Inez reminded him patiently.

Took out his phone from his pocket. Without looking at the messages, he immediately switched it off to avoid any more trouble.

It was a small incident, and due to his special status, no one in the conference room made a fuss about it. They seemed to quickly forget about it.

However, after the meeting
