Mia Lane snapped back to reality and looked at her, instructing, "He is David Dalton, the president of the Dalton Group. From now on, you must treat him well when you see him. As long as he wants to see CEO Kingston, call , and I’ll make the arrangents."
"Yes, President Lane."
Mia Lane turned to leave, her emotions still not settling down for a long ti.
Because she never imagined that one day she could stand in front of him and talk so calmly for such a long ti.
In the departing black Volvo, David Dalton sat in the driver’s seat, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly, the monts of his conversation with Mia Lane echoing in his mind.
He felt a surge of indescribable emotions, as if he were dreaming.
This woman’s eyes were exactly like those of his missing daughter...
In all his years, seeing so many people, he had never seen another pair of eyes like these.
In his mories—
"Stella, when your mom was pregnant with you, she ate a lot of grapes, so your eyes are so beautiful! So dark, so big, and so bright! Just like black gemstones!"
These were the words he had once spoken to his daughter, pinching her nose, looking into her eyes, filled with affection.
But how could Mrs. Kingston possibly be his daughter who had been missing for years?
This was simply too far-fetched!
David Dalton regained a shred of rationality, thinking it was just his longing for his daughter that caused this illusion.
But if it was just an illusion, what was Justin Kingston up to?
Investigating the whereabouts of the Jade Pendant, secretly taking a toothbrush for a paternity test... there’s no smoke without fire, did he suspect sothing?
Screech—
David Dalton saw several cars stopped at the red light ahead! He snapped back to reality and slamd on the brakes!
The screech of the brakes echoed to the heavens!
He almost rear-ended the car in front!
At the Kingston Group, Mia Lane returned to the vice president’s office. She saw Justin Kingston passing by outside the door, knowing the eting had ended.
After so internal struggle, she closed the file in her hand, stood up, and went to the CEO’s office.
Upon hearing footsteps, Justin Kingston looked up, a hint of warmth on his face. "Missed already?"
Mia Lane smiled slightly, "There’s sothing I need to tell you."
"Go ahead," he said, listening attentively.
"President Dalton from the Dalton Group was here."
Justin Kingston’s chest tightened a bit as he t her gaze and listened to her continue, "I don’t know what he wanted with you. He said he was just passing by, but I feel he had sothing to discuss with you."
Justin Kingston nodded, reading her thoughts from her deanor.
"Okay, I’ll schedule a eting with him when I have ti," Justin Kingston’s lips curved up. "Is there anything else?"
She pursed her lips and shook her head, "No more."
Justin Kingston reached out to her, and Mia Lane ca to his side, reminding, "Don’t you have a project to discuss? You need to head to the club."
Pulling her hand, Justin Kingston smiled, "Will you accompany ?"
"Isn’t Jerry Garcia going with you?"
He looked up at her, with a bit of a playful tone, "Right now, I want you with ."
"No, I need to go to the design departnt. I have an appointnt with Director Owen this afternoon."
Justin Kingston, feeling disappointed, reluctantly let go of her hand, "Fine, if not by day, make it up at night."
Mia Lane couldn’t help but laugh at his teasing.
After she left, Justin Kingston opened a drawer and took out the paternity test result, glancing again at the conclusion at the bottom.
She was indeed David Dalton’s daughter, without a doubt.
But how many children does David Dalton have?
Justin Kingston still felt shocked and was constantly weighing how to handle this situation.
He was not a god and couldn’t make decisions for everyone involved; he had to consider their feelings.
Therefore, every ti he thought of this test result, his heart felt like it was weighed down by a heavy stone.
