Chapter 850 Searching For The Hidden Truth

Outside, Jeremy patiently stood, his hands in his pockets.

"Sir, should we go?

Maybe no one's home?" the assistant behind Jeremy suggested.

"We'll wait a little longer. They should be at home now," Jeremy replied.

'He must have his own reasons for coming here at this time, ' the assistant thought to himself.

And so, he waited with Jeremy without another word.

This particular assistant was the same one who had taken Angelina's and Jeremy's saliva sample to the hospital for the DNA test.

After working for a good amount of years for Jeremy, he had gained his complete trust.

Truthfully, the assistant was a little flustered when he learned that the girl he found wasn't the right one.

He could only imagine how much more upset Jeremy must have been.

Ever since Jeremy took over the company, he had been dead set on finding his sister.

It wasn't easy to find a specific person in such a large city. And the only way they could make sure that they got the right person was through a DNA test.

Now, it turned out that Angelina might not be his sister after all. There was no way to cheat on a DNA test.

Indeed, it was such an aggravating situation.

The assistant sighed in his heart and wondered what he should do.

How could such a thing happen to his boss?

After about a minute, the door opened. Since Jacob and Tomas practically treated Angelina like their own, living bank account, they had lived a fairly carefree life. At first, they had thought the men outside their home were the loan sharks. But because they knew the Angelina would keep giving them money whenever they asked, they thought that they had nothing to worry about.

Much to their surprise and relief, the men in front of them were not as tall and intimidating as the ones who came by yesterday.

In fact, they looked very decent—both of them dressed in sharp suits.

"Who...who are you? What do you want?" Tomas stammered nervously.

Only a handful of people knew that they bought a new house here.

In a quick glance, Jeremy looked at Tomas from head to toe and frowned. With his keen eye, he saw that the man who had opened the door was wearing expensive clothes. Despite this, he looked very ordinary.

Five years ago, Jeremy had already met with these people. It was back when he was under the impression that Angelina was his long-lost sister. Naturally, he wanted to take her home as soon as possible. To ensure this

in fear when she heard the word 'police'.

"We didn't know anything about it! It was Angelina! She was the one who came up with the idea of claiming to be the daughter of the Gu family! We only knew about it when she had already done the damage. I swear it had nothing to do with us!"

"That's right. It was only her own idea. To be honest, we were also surprised when she told us that she was a part of your family.

When we picked Angelina up, she was covered in rags! How could we have known that she was an heir to such a rich family? Not once did it cross our minds!"

Jacob explained, the words rushing out of his mouth like a flood.

Hearing this, Jeremy closed his eyes and sighed quietly.

"The second question. How old was Angelina when you adopted her?" Jeremy continued.

"I don't remember how old she was at that time. Maybe she was three? Four years old?

Yes, she was four years old. We didn't have a child at that time, which was why we decided to adopt one. Of course we wanted a kid who was still young so we could all have a fresh start, you know? But we didn't want to adopt someone who was too young because it would be too troublesome to deal with all the screaming and crying. Yup, pretty sure she was only four!"

The assistant's eyes were burning after he heard these words!

"So why did you lie to me when I asked you about this before? Didn't you say that you adopted Angelina when she was five years old?" the assistant asked angrily.

The whole Li family was stunned into silence. None of them could remember what they had said at that time, and now it was taking its toll on them.
