100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 812  Not Her

Day Eighty-Six…

~~******~~

[ Syphiruz Medical Facility… ]

Nathan and Ethan visited Old Man Xu in the medical facility. Just like what Butler Li had said, the old man finally regained consciousness since Butler Li stopped injecting him with sedatives.

"Grandpa… are you feeling better now?" Ethan asked his grandpa worriedly as Nathan assisted the old man to sit up on his sick bed.

His physical wounds were already healed but the marks were still visible on his skin.

"Oh, Ethan, you are here. I'm feeling better now, especially since you are now here." He opened his arms, asking for a hug.

Ethan climbed on the bed, hugging his grandfather. "I'm glad, Grandpa. Don't get sick again. Let's go home."

Old Man Xu nodded, letting out a soft chuckle. He gazed up only to see Nathan's serious expression.

"Hey, son. Are you that worried about me? I'm a strong man. So cheer up." Old Man Xu tried to lighten Nathan's mood.

Nathan could only sigh when he heard that.

"Ethan, can you call the doctor to check your grandpa's condition?" Nathan requested his son. He needed to talk to his father privately. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Okay, Dad." Ethan gave his grandpa another hug before he left to call the doctor.

"So what's up? Why do you look like that? Were you afraid I was going to die?" Old Man Xu chuckled, cracking some jokes. He had been sleeping for days now. He was clueless about what was happening to Nathan lately.

"A few days ago, Vincent hacked our company's system, causing a worldwide malfunction of our robots and AI technologies. It caused trouble for our company. But don't worry, I have fixed the issue now." Nathan believed that his father had the right to know what had happened to his company while he was unconscious.

But after hearing who the culprit was, Old Man Xu just smiled faintly. He understood if his son wanted to bring chaos to their lives. He couldn't blame him. He was also at fault when he denied Vincent a father's love. He neglected him before.

"I'm sorry, Nate. It was my fault. Your brother harbors strong resentment toward me. And you became the target of his hate. I'm truly sorry, son." Old Man Xu acknowledged that the root cause of Vincent's hatred toward Nathan had started with him.

Nathan fell silent for a moment. He wasn't blaming his father. After hearing the story, he could understand why his father rejected Vincent's existence before. He just loved Nathan's mother so much that he thought accepting Vincent into the Sparks Family would make her hate him.

Vincent's mother was the one who plotted a scheme, making Old Man Xu impregnate her against his will.

"I don't need your apology, Dad. I know it's not entirely your fault. Vincent was the one who couldn't let go of his hatred. He kept competing with me. And I guess… he is going to win if I will let him take away my woman." Nathan clenched his fists at the thought of the upcoming wedding of Jane and Vincent.

Old Man Xu frowned. He already sensed that something was wrong. "What happened, son?" he asked him worriedly.

"Three days from now, Vincent is going to marry Jane. I think she made a bargain with him. Vincent almost acquired the company after the hacking incident. But Vincent willingly returned the company to me after Jane accepted his marriage proposal."

Old Man Xu was at a loss for words when he heard that.

"I know the company is very important to you… however… I can't give up on Jane even if it means losing everything… including our wealth. Vincent can have all of these material things. But Jane should remain by my side." His voice was filled with conviction.

Old Man Xu gazed at his son for a long moment. He could feel his profound love for Jane. Without hesitation, Old Man Xu nodded his head.

"Yes. You should fight for her. Don't worry about the company or other things. The most important thing for me is your happiness… and Ethan's happiness. Even if we lose everything, we can start anew. You are my son. You are a smart guy just like my grandson. We can create a new company!" Old Man Xu expressed his support to his son, Nathan.

This time, Nathan felt relieved. Old Man Xu had already given him his blessings.

"Thanks, Dad."

"By the way, it's about Ethan's biological mother–"

"Yes. I already knew the truth. Monica is not his mother." Nathan cut him off.

Old Man Xu was taken aback for a moment.

"Who told you? How did you know? By the way, who rescued me?" Old Man Xu bombarded him with curious questions.

"It was Vincent who rescued you. He found you and brought you to the hospital."

Old Man Xu didn't know what to feel after hearing that. He didn't expect that Vincent would save him from Monica's hand.

'I thought he hated me. But why?' the old man mused to himself.

"As for your other questions… I learned the truth from Butler Li. He knew all along that Monica was not Ethan's biological mother. He kept this truth from us because…" Nathan paused as he hesitated to continue. Old Man Xu would also be heartbroken once he learned that Butler Li was a traitor.

"Why? Why did he keep this from us?" Old Man Xu urged his son to continue.

"Because he is Vincent's accomplice… He is his uncle. He is a traitor who we let in our family."

Old Man Xu's eyes widened at that revelation. He had never imagined that Butler Li was a traitor.

"He assisted Vincent with his revenge… messing up my relationship with Jane. I can't forgive them because Jane suffered so much from their deception."

Old Man Xu remained silent as Nathan narrated everything that happened including the story when Axel discovered Butler Li's betrayal.

Old Man Xu was saddened by this. "I understand. So you detained him in your headquarters."

"Yes. I did. Although he apologized to Ethan and me, still I couldn't trust him." Nathan clenched his fists. He hated Butler Li because he became the instrument in bringing Jane to Vincent. If he hadn't touched his account… if he hadn't given Jane's contact to Vincent… then Jane wouldn't suffer in the past.

"By the way, Nate… have you seen the result of the DNA test between Jane and Ethan? He requested me to do it. But before I could get the result, I was kidnapped by Monica's men."

Nathan frowned when he heard that. "Butler Li stole the samples. We didn't get the result. But we can repeat the procedure. We just need to ask Jane. But why? Why did you want to test if their DNAs match? There is no way Jane is Ethan's biological mother. Mia is her child with Vincent. She got impregnated by Vincent."

Nathan was giving Old Man Xu one shock from another. "Mia is their child? Does it mean… Mia is also my granddaughter?"

Nathan didn't say a word. He just nodded his head. It was still hard to accept that Vincent had a child with Jane. That was his disadvantage against Vincent. Even though Jane loved him, she would still choose Mia over him.

"Alright. She couldn't be Ethan's mother as well. Sigh. Don't tell me it was Helena. But she is dead." Old Man Xu felt sorry for his grandson.
