Chapter 216 - Results Of Leila's Investigation

Jean's eyes looked around the room until it finally stopped on Lilia's figure who was sitting quietly on the sofa. The man's gaze softened briefly, but he didn't stop walking. Jean then sat on his chair and put the documents he was carrying on the table.

"No need. I've read the plans submitted and haven't encountered any problems. The plan can be implemented." Jean replied dryly.

"But in my opinion, the plan is not perfect. Please let me make a new, even better plan for you." The woman was adamant.

Lilia felt even more amazed at that woman. She was brave enough to voice her opinion on Jean and had a standard of perfection even higher than her superior. That woman was truly a true perfectionist!

Jean leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, "Helen, the results of the meeting were approved by everyone. If you really object to that plan, why didn't you say anything earlier?" He asked coldly.

"I..." Helen fell silent when she heard Jean's question.

"You can retreat." Jean's order was brief.

Even though she heard the order, Helen did not move immediately. Her face was filled with reluctance, as if she still wanted to argue. But when she saw Jean's cold gaze, she finally gave up.

Only when Helen turned to leave did she notice Lilia's presence on the sofa. The female executive's eyes widened. Wasn't this Lilia Pangestu, the hot model?

Helen sometimes read gossip about the entertainment world when she was bored. That's why she knew a lot about Lilia Pangestu lately.

Lilia smiled back when their eyes met. She nodded slightly to greet Helen. However, the woman looked away and rushed out of the room.

The model frowned as she stared at the closed door behind Helen. She found Helen's gaze toward her very unpleasant. The woman looked down on Lilia and didn't bother trying to hide it. What's the problem with that woman?

"Her name is Helen Febrianti, head of the planning department."

Lilia almost jumped when she heard Jean whisper in her ear. She turned her head and found the man sitting beside her. Since when did Jean move next to her?!

"Oh, I see." Lilia smiled at the man and changed the subject, "Is your meeting over?" She asked.

Lilia had absolutely no interest in Helen's identity. Even though that woman might hold quite a high position in this company, wasn't she still Jean's subordinate? As the president's wife, Lilia didn't need to look down on that female employee!

"Yes." Jean nodded, relieved that Lilia didn't ask any further questions about Helen. He was worried that his wife might misunderstand him, "What do you want for lunch?" Jean asked while holding Lilia's hand.

The woman thought for a moment before finally replying, "Anything is fine! I leave this matter to you."

Jean smiled faintly. The answer 'whatever' was the most difficult answer to interpret when making a decision. Then he remembered something he needed to convey to Lilia.

The man folded his legs and looked closely at Lilia, "Lilia…" He said slowly, as if he wasn't sure what to say, "...The results of Leila's investigation are out."

For a moment, Lilia sat there and tried to process Jean's words. Then she asked stiffly, "Was the investigation just finished today?"

"Yes, do you want to see it?" Jean squeezed Lilia's hand gently to strengthen her.

Jean had read the results of the investigation beforehand, and the results took the man by surprise. But the report given to him was so complete and detailed that Jean could not doubt its truth. The investigation dug up all the information about Leila, from her birth to her recent activities.

Lilia took a deep breath before nodding. The man handed her his cellphone containing the investigation report. Lilia read the beginning of the report attentively.

Leila Irwan was born 24 years ago at Jakarta Hospital. There was a complete record of the delivery room number and who the medical personnel assisted with Leila's birth. Her blood type was A, but Leila had no nickname or other name. She was born on May 31, just the day before Lilia was born. 

The remainder of the report detailed Leila's life as she grew up. This woman was born and raised in Jakarta, in the loving environment of the Irwan family. Leila had never lacked anything in her life and she could have everything she wanted. She was truly a young lady from a rich family.

Lilia read all the contents of the report so attentively that she didn't realize half an hour had passed on her. Jean waited patiently beside her, without making a sound. That man knew that this was something important to Lilia that couldn't be rushed.

The woman finally reached the end of the report, which contained only an appendix. At first, Lilia just skimmed through the appendix without much interest, but as soon as she realized what she was reading, her attitude immediately changed. It turned out that the documents in the appendix were the most important part of this whole report!

The document contained the results of a DNA test carried out five years ago. The results showed that there was a 99 percent chance of having a blood relationship between Leila and her biological father. In other words, Leila was the biological daughter of Richard Irwan.

Lilia closed the report with an emotionless flat face. She returned Jean's cell phone saying, "Please send me a copy of this report."

"Of course." Jean fulfilled Lilia's request without hesitation. Then he looked at his wife closely, "After reading that, what are you going to do?" Jean asked in a careful tone.

Lilia shook her head, "Nothing. The results of the report are reasonable and there is almost nothing fishy in them." Lilia answered, but her voice had lost its enthusiasm.

She was suspicious of a relationship between Sylvia and Leila, which was why Lilia asked Jean to investigate the matter. However, the results of his investigation did not support Lilia's suspicions. The woman didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed with the results.

"It's just ..." Lilia muttered.

"What's wrong?" Jean cocked his head.

"Why are there DNA test for Leila and her father? And that test was done five years ago. Did the Irwan family ask for a DNA test?" Lilia asked.

Jean smiled broadly when he heard this question, "You are indeed a smart woman." He praised Lilia while rubbing her head. Jean also reached the same conclusion after reading the appendix.

In normal families and normal situations, they would never even think about doing a DNA test… unless something happened. Even Lilia, who was neglected by her mother since she was a child, never thought about doing a DNA test. For her, such a thing would only lead to unnecessary trouble.

Lilia believed that in this world, there were many fathers or mothers who did not love their biological children. She was just one of those less fortunate children. But the DNA test results for Leila and her father started to shake Lilia's conviction. Could it be that someone also suspected the same thing as her?

"So who asked for the test?" Lilia asked with anticipation.

To Lilia's expectation, Jean shook his head with a bitter expression, "I also don't know."

"…Huh?" Those words that sounded stupid automatically came out of Lilia's mouth.

If the owner of the best information network among the conglomerate families didn't even know, then who else could know about the information?
