Chapter 161 Paternity Test

For a moment, she looked like a celestial being who had descended to earth, smiling at Arthur. Arthur's gaze froze! His eyes instinctively fell upon the two peaks wrapped in the bath towel. Her exposed skin was as luscious as a ripe peach, irresistibly tempting! Arthur swallowed hard, a scorching heat rapidly spreading through his body. Ashley blushed under his burning stare, hastily covering her prominent cleavage. But it was too ample for her small hands to conceal. This sight only made Arthur’s body temperature rise even higher! Ashley, utterly embarrassed, quickly turned her back to him, stammering, "You… you should take a shower!" A shower? Arthur eagerly nodded. "Oh… oh, okay!" Ashley immediately realized her mistake. It sounded as if she were urging him to shower, and then… Her face turned an even deeper shade of red! Arthur dashed into the bathroom at lightning speed and, with the fastest pace of his life, scrubbed himself clean. When he stepped out, Ashley was drying her hair. Her waist length chestnut curls were still damp, cascading over her petite frame, making her appear even more delicate. As she lifted a hand to adjust her hair, the bath towel shifted, revealing her slender waist and perfectly rounded hips, practically beckoning him. How could he possibly hold back! Arthur lunged forward, pulling Ashley tightly into his embrace. Ashley gasped in surprise! She had been drying her hair, the sound of the hairdryer masking his movements. She hadn't even realized he had come out so quickly! She stammered, "You… why are you done so fast?" Arthur’s only focus was on her soft, luscious lips, parting and closing as she spoke, as if calling out to him. The blood in his veins felt like it was about to explode. He couldn’t hear a single word she was saying. Without hesitation, Arthur lowered his head, capturing those restless lips with his own. At the same time, he yanked away the obstructive bath towel. Cloudia Corporation. In the familiar, spacious office, Arthur sat comfortably in his executive chair, listening to Stanley report. "Mr. Gray, as expected, Zac is attempting to transfer his shares. The recipient is a woman named Renee." "Renee? She’s Zac’s biological mother?" Arthur frowned slightly. It was the first time he had heard that name. Stanley nodded. "Yes. She and John were college classmates, and she was also friends with Raelynn. However, since she came from an insignificant background, John ultimately chose to marry Raelynn.” "But he and Renee continued their relationship in secret." Stanley’s eyes gleamed with intrigue as he continued, "Interestingly, back then, Renee wasn’t only involved with John, she was also seeing two other men, both from prestigious families. "Then, ten years ago, Renee suddenly passed away. Not long after, the Gray family adopted Zac. But somehow, she has now reappeared. It seems likely that her death was staged to ensure that John would take Zac in." Arthur raised a brow. Who said people from the previous generation were conservative? This was far from it.What a mess. And she had even faked her own death, what a ridiculous tactic. A sudden thought struck Arthur. "Is Zac really John’s biological son?" Things had escalated to this point, everyone in the Gray family had already turned against Zac. Even Julie had taken action. Yet, John remained unchanged. Even at the banquet, in front of so many people, he still protected Zac! Arthur found it hard to believe there wasn’t something deeper between them. "Heh." Stanley perked up at the question. "When I was looking into Dr. Pierce, I stumbled upon something interesting, Raelynn had once arranged a paternity test for John and Zac!" Arthur's head snapped up. "And? What were the results?" Stanley grinned smugly. "I had to go through quite a bit of trouble to find out!" Seeing his smug expression, Arthur chuckled helplessly. "Alright, alright. You’re amazing!" Stanley, unexpectedly embarrassed by the praise, stopped dragging things out."The result was, Zac is not John’s biological son!" Arthur’s eyes widened in shock. "Not his biological son? Are you sure?" "Yes! Absolutely sure!" Stanley nodded firmly. The test had been conducted by a close friend of his, there was no chance of a mistake. Arthur fell into deep thought.
