After the meal, Samantha couldn't wait to go home. She retrieved her phone from her bag and opened the recording app.
Soon, Suzy's voice filled the room:
"How could you be with Samantha?"
"I don't care why you're with Samantha. If you dare to tell her about our relationship, I won't be polite to you."
"..."
"Stop pretending. You know what I'm talking about! If you dare to reveal our relationship, I will make sure you have nowhere to hide. I've killed your father, and I won't hesitate to kill you too."
"It's best if you don't acknowledge me! Remember what you said. I'm not your mother, and you're not my son. We are two strangers who don't know each other. If our relationship is discovered by others, I will make sure you find your father in hell soon, and Samantha will be in trouble again."
The recording ended.
The phone fell silent.
Samantha widened her eyes in disbelief, her face filled with incredulity.
It was exactly as she had suspected, Alex and Noah were not Suzy's biological children. Elliot was her son.
So who were Alex and Noah's biological parents?
And what did Suzy mean by her threat? Is she related to Rex's death?
She had to tell Ethan about this immediately. He had the right to know the truth, and she had to find the meaning behind Suzy's words.
With that in mind, she grabbed her phone and handbag and left immediately.
...
After listening to the recording, Ethan's fist clenched audibly, and his handsome face turned from normal to red, then from red to black, as if he were a demon.
"What a Suzy, she actually dares to deceive me!"
Samantha put away her phone and sighed. "I found it strange before. A mother and her children share a strong bond. Which child doesn't love their mother? Turns out, she's not the biological mother of Alex and Noah at all. Naturally, they don't have any feelings for her and don't like her."
She changed the subject. "Now that you know the truth, you must handle this carefully and find Alex and Noah's biological mother. I'll go to the police station to make a report."
With that, she got up and left.
Ethan pressed his thin lips into a tight line, took out his phone, and dialed Jade's number.
"Find out for me what happened four years ago..."
...
Within three days, Jade had uncovered the truth and brought back the doctor who had helped Samantha escape abroad after her caesarean section four years ago.
Ethan sent people to wait for Suzy at Chelsea Creek.
Unaware of the impending danger, Suzy smiled and tried to cling to Ethan's arm, but he kicked her harshly to the ground.
Caught off guard by the kick, Suzy felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
She stared incredulously at Ethan. "Ethan, why did you hit me?"
Ethan's face was dark and menacing, like a demon emerging from hell.
"Suzy, you have some nerve to deceive me for four years."
Suzy's breathing hitched, a sense of foreboding washing over her. However, she pretended to remain calm and asked, "Deceive you? I haven't deceived you. Are you mistaken? Or did someone slander me in front of you?"
Ethan pulled out a stack of documents and slammed them onto Suzy's face.
Confused, Suzy picked up the documents and flipped through them.
When she saw the contents clearly, all color drained from her face.
It was the investigation report from four years ago.
Why would Ethan suddenly investigate what happened four years ago?
Could it be...?
Suzy's face turned pale.
Trembling, she asked, "Is it Elliot? Did he tell you? Ethan, don't be fooled by him. He's really not my son. My sons are Alex and Noah. He's trying to get close to me..."
Ethan kicked her shoulder fiercely.
"Do you still want to deceive me? Do you really think I'm a fool? I did a DNA test between you and Elliot and Alex, and the results showed that you and Elliot are mother and son, with no blood relation to Alex."
"I..." Suzy wanted to argue, but when she saw Ethan's fierce gaze, all her words got stuck in her throat.
She felt a wave of despair.
Who was Ethan?
If he really wanted to find out something, how could he fail to uncover it?
Even if she tried to argue, he wouldn't believe her anymore.
With his ruthless methods, he would never let her off.
Trembling in fear, Suzy crawled to Ethan and hugged his legs tightly, crying, "Ethan, I didn't mean to deceive you. I just love you too much, that's why I did this. Please, spare me this time. I really love you and Noah, I can't live without you..."
Ethan bent down, his hand grabbing Suzy's chin, his thin lips curving into a sharp arc as he said word by word, "Suzy, those who dare to deceive me should pay the price. You know, I won't easily forgive those who offend me."
At his words, Suzy's body went limp, like a pile of mud, collapsing to the ground.
Ethan didn't look at her anymore and signaled to Jade.
Jade nodded and instructed his subordinates to remove Suzy from the scene and take her to the police station along with all the evidence.
Despite her struggles and screams, she was still dragged away.
After dealing with Suzy, Ethan brought Alex and Noah and affectionately rubbed their heads, asking, "Do you want to find your mommy?"
Alex and Noah answered in unison, "No."
They never wanted to see Suzy in their lives.
Ethan didn't say anything more. He held their hands and led them away.
Even as they got into the car, Alex continued to vehemently oppose.
"I really don't want to see Suzy. I don't like her. I will never call her mommy in my life..."
Ethan, pretending to be mysterious, said, "I'll take you to find your biological mommy."
"Biological mommy?"
Alex and Noah were puzzled, looking at each other in surprise. "Isn't Suzy our biological mommy?"
"No!"
They were even more puzzled. "If Suzy isn't our mom, then who is she?"
Ethan said mysteriously, "You'll find out when we get there!"
Alex and Noah shrugged at each other, indicating they didn't know.
Half an hour later, Ethan brought Alex and Noah to Samantha's house.
It was the weekend.
Samantha was working at home.
Charlotte, Elliot, and Grandpa Miller were watching TV in the living room.
Samantha had locked herself in the study, immersed in her work.
When Alex used her fingerprint to enter, Charlotte was engrossed in watching cartoons and didn't notice the three new arrivals in the house.
The first to notice the newcomers was Elliot.
"What are you doing here?"
Elliot looked at them warily, on guard.
Charlotte and Grandpa Miller were attracted by his voice and turned their eyes towards the door.
Upon seeing Ethan, Charlotte instinctively hid behind Grandpa Miller, blinking her big innocent eyes fearfully as she looked at Ethan.
Ethan's heart twisted into a knot.
Seeing his biological daughter so afraid of him, he choked up for a moment, slowly reaching out to touch Charlotte, only to have her shy away from him in fear.
Alex and Noah thought he was going to harm Charlotte, and quickly stood in front of her, with Noah saying, "Dad, I won't let you bully Charlotte."
Noah hurriedly added, "Father, didn't you say you were taking us to find our mother? Let's go!"
Ethan said, "Your mother is right here."
Alex and Noah were both stunned, a bold idea taking root in their minds.
After a moment, Alex found his voice again, asking incredulously, "Could it be that mommy is really our biological mother?"
Although he felt this idea was absurd, there was no other woman here besides mommy.
Besides mommy, he couldn't think of anyone else who could be his biological mother.
It wasn't until he saw Ethan nod that Alex and Noah dared to believe it.
Alex pinched Noah's cheek hard.
Noah sucked in a breath of pain.
Alex asked in amazement, "Does it hurt? Does that mean I'm not dreaming?"
Noah finally reacted, his eyes turning red in an instant, and he ran towards the study.
Alex followed closely behind, rushing in.
There was a loud ‘bang’ as the study door was forcefully pushed open.
Samantha, who was concentrating on her work, was startled, raising her head suddenly. When she saw the person, she sighed in relief and smiled, "Why are you here?"
Alex and Noah ran over, hugging Samantha tightly around the neck.
"Mommy..."
"Mommy..."
