Jaylin frowned and looked her up and down in disdain.
“Stop yapping and get on with it! Say what you want and Leave!”
Hannah handed a folder to him and said, “Here, see for yourself.” It was the last bit of evidence she had in her possession.
Jaylin grabbed the folder, yanked it open, and read the top document.
He had barely finished half of the page when he began to feel dizzy.
“Mr. Phillips! Calm down. Don’t let your heart suffer over something like this. I’m not doing this to antagonize you. I just want you to know, once and for all, that Estrella is not your daughter. The truth is bound to come out in the future. It’s better that you know while it’s still early.”
Hannah’s tone grew soft.
“Lydia is so kind. I already told her about it, but she insists on keeping this from you. I personally think she wouldn’t be able to keep it a secret forever, though. Who knows what would happen in the future? That’s why, I figured that if she doesn’t want to tell you, I might as well do it. She doesn’t deserve to suffer for another person’s mistakes.”
Jaylin seemed to have aged 10 years in a matter of seconds. He leaned back against his pillows and read through all the papers.
When he was done, he put aside the folder and stared at Hannah. He was a smart man.

“I know what you want. In order for Lydia to gain a foothold in the city’s business scene, she would need an official statement from me.”

Hannah smiled, “Actually, we don’t need anything from you. Sure, it would take longer without your help, but it’s nothing we can’t handle.”
“It’s a foolproof plan, from start to finish,” Jaylin rasped.
“It’s all thanks to you, isn’t it? You’re far different from the hopeless pushover from the Moore family. I made a mistake by underestimating you.”
Hannah raised her eyebrows at that.
“Why, thank you for your compliment.”
“Since you already achieved all your goals, anyway, I might as well issue the statement. But in return, I would like to make a request.”
Hannah stopped smiling. She couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
“What request?”
Sure enough, Jaylin’s so-called request left her speechless.
“Tell Lydia to give me 20% of the company shares.”
Hannah burst out laughing.
“You’re pushing your luck, Mr. Phillips.”
Jaylin gave her a smile of his own.
