100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 850  The Last Mission: No Choice

Day Eighty-Nine…

At the Playroom

"Young Master, do you know who that woman is?" Butler Li asked Ethan inquisitively.

Ethan bobbed his head. "Yes. My mommy."

"Eh? Your mommy? Miss Monica is your mother. That woman is a stranger." Butler Li scratched his face. He thought Ethan was just confused for his age.

But Ethan just let out a soft giggle. "Wrong. She's my Mommy! My angel told me. And I saw it clearly in my dreams!"

Butler Li frowned. Ethan's words didn't make sense at all. Well, he couldn't blame the child either. Monica never tried to get close to young Ethan. So maybe, the boy didn't feel any maternal connection with her. She showed him no motherly love at all.

"Young Master. I think you have a wild imagination. But it's fine. It's part of being a child."

Ethan pursed his lips when he heard that. He folded his arms over his chest and replied, "Not an imagination. Mom is my Mom. That's it!"

Butler Li could only blink in amusement. He chose not to argue anymore.

"I wait for Mommy. Daddy is taking her for so long. I want to see Mommy!" Ethan complained in disappointment.

Butler Li just ruffled his hair. "Don't worry. They will call us once they finish talking."

"Hmph! I hate Daddy. He is bullying my Mommy." Ethan pouted his lips.

Butler Li just shook his head helplessly, unable to figure out why Ethan kept calling a stranger his Mommy.

'What happened to this child? He is acting so strangely as if he has become a different person… not a three-year-old boy.'

Meanwhile, back at Chairman Xu's office, Nathan finally granted Jane's request. He excused himself to call Stephen. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Jane and Old Man Xu were left alone, Jane made another request from him.

"Chairman Xu, thank you for listening to me. Can I make another request? I need two spying devices. I will prove to you that there are moles around Nathan. I know that simply mentioning their names won't make you believe me. So I will need to show you concrete evidence to support my claims."

Old Man Xu smiled at her. "You are so smart, Phantomflake. Alright, I'll comply with your request. Tell me… who do you want me to monitor secretly." He volunteered to spy on those people just to confirm the truth.

Jane stared at Old Man Xu intently before disclosing the names of the traitors. He was dumbfounded by Jane's revelation.

"By the way, just call me Jane, Chairman Xu. That's my name."

"Oh, nice meeting you, Jane."

Old Man Xu couldn't explain why he felt comfortable in her presence. Maybe because she did him a favor. He was supposed to be the one getting rid of Monica but Phantomflake took action first.

'It's not bad if this woman turns out to be Ethan's biological mother.' Old Man Xu thought to himself.

A few minutes later…

The door of the office was pushed open, revealing Nathan and Stephen together. Stephen locked eyes with Jane instantly.

"Jane," he mumbled softly. There was a hint of longing in his eyes as he looked at her.

Unable to control himself, Stephen moved with large strides, closing the gaps between Jane and him.

"Stephen," Jane called his name cheerfully as she stood up to greet her doctor friend.

Before Jane could react, Stephen suddenly pulled her into a tight hug. Nathan and Old Man Xu were surprised to see Stephen act affectionately in front of a woman. This was a rare sight to see.

'I guess Stephen really knows this woman,' Old Man Xu thought to himself. Then he shifted his gaze to his son.

Nathan's expression turned grim. He even arched his eyebrow as he watched his best friend hug his enemy. He was clearly annoyed and displeased.

"I was surprised when I heard that you were personally looking for me. Jane, have you recovered your memories?" Stephen asked Jane after breaking the hug. He was the one who erased Jane's memory in the past so that she could continue living her life. He didn't care if she had to forget him as well. Her well-being was his priority at that time.

Jane appreciated Stephen's concern for her. She was truly grateful to have Stephen as her good friend. He was there by her side in the lowest and darkest moments of her life. She owed him a lot.

"Yes, Steph… I regained my memory. And I need your help right now." After saying that, Jane glanced at Nathan.

"Tell your best friend that I'm not his enemy. I'm just here to take back what is mine."

Stephen frowned in confusion. "What is going on here, Jane? Why do you know Nathan?"

"That man," Jane pointed her forefinger at Nathan. "He is the father of my child."

Stephen was rendered speechless when he heard that. He darted his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Jane.

"My son didn't die. We were deceived by someone. He was stolen from me at birth. And my son is here. It's Ethan."

She looked very determined as she made those declarations in front of everyone. Even Stephen was shocked by her sudden revelation. He wasn't prepared to hear this from her.

'My best friend is the father of her child? And that child is none other than Ethan?' Stephen couldn't explain what he was feeling at this moment.

"Stephen… I need your help. We need to prove to Nathan that I'm not lying. He is unwilling to listen to me. I hope you can convince him yourself."

Stephen was suddenly put on the spot. He met Nathan's deathly glare as if he was giving him a warning signal– 'Don't trust that woman's words. She is making up a story.'

Nathan hated the fact that Phantomflake was using Stephen right now for her benefit.

"For your information, Stephen, that woman beside you is the one who assassinated Monica. Are you aware that she is an assassin?" Nathan could no longer stay quiet.

Stephen was shaken by Nathan's revelation. 'Jane is an assassin… and she killed Monica.'

"She is probably using your past connection with her to deceive us. Don't let her do that. You are wise enough to make a sound decision and a right judgment." He warned Stephen.

"So now, tell me. What is your stand on this matter?" Nathan urged Stephen.

Stephen fell silent for a moment, thinking what to say. Everyone was waiting for his response.

Stephen slammed his eyes shut and took a deep breath to calm himself and clear his head. When he opened his eyes again, Stephen was back to his composure. He observed Nathan, Jane, and Old Man Xu for a moment as he prepared to relay his response to them.

"Nate, just like you… I want to know the truth. So I think we should not close our minds to the possibility that Jane might be Ethan's biological mother as she is claiming right now." Stephen paused for a second before he continued, "Nate. You have to agree with her. Do the DNA test between Ethan and Jane."

'Fuck! Both Stephen and my father are siding with her! I so fucking hate this! But I have no choice.' Nathan clenched his fists tightly.

"Fine! Let's do it now!" Nathan finally agreed.

Jane smiled triumphantly.
