Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Chapter 170 Why, Ethan Knight (2)

Caleb then said, “Mr. Knight, we have yet to find anything else about the paternity test that Young Madam Knight

got done last time. That being said, I guess the test was probably done on Pierce Woland and Old Mr. Woland.”

Although he had been tracking Alice down over the past few days, he didn’t neglect Ethan’s earlier instructions on

the paternity test either. However, Lydia was really good at keeping things confidential, so they didn’t manage to

find out or elicit anything from her.

As Alice had talked to Keith previously, Caleb even suspected whether the man had something to do with it. After

that, however, the incident about Charles broke out. Now that they knew Pierce was still alive, he surmised that

Alice might have had the paternity test done on Pierce and Charles. If that really were the case, the test would have

little to do with his boss.

Ethan’s brow furrowed slightly. If what Caleb said was true, it would actually make sense. Furthermore, given Alice’s

situation, it was unnecessary for her to have a paternity test done to spite him. Even so, he didn’t want to give up

just yet. He wanted to dig deeper; perhaps they would find something else. “Keep looking into it.”

Meanwhile, at this very moment, the Glenn Group was being turned upside down. Staring at the few people before

him in complete stupefaction, Elijah yelled, “What nonsense are you talking about? No way! This can’t be possible!”

Mr Lector, the attorney, looked very serious. “Mr. Woland, here are the documents signed by my client, Mr. Pierce

Woland. All of them have both his signatures and his handprints. As for his fingerprints, we’ve had them identified

by a professional agency, so we have a professional document proving that they’re indeed his.”

Elijah was both unwilling and unable to accept something like this. “No way! Pierce already died seven years ago.

Who knows where you guys got these documents from?”

Mr. Lector’s expression remained unchanged. “I spent two days getting all the identification done and going

through all the formal procedures. Mr. Woland, I can produce all kinds of legally valid evidence to answer your

suspicions.”

Elijah was not only useless at doing business; he was useless at other things, too. “Who can be sure that these

documents were signed by Pierce recently? They could’ve been signed long ago! Yes, that’s right! They must’ve

been signed long ago. Pierce already died seven years ago, so these must’ve been signed long ago. They’re surely

not valid anymore after such a long time!”

Mr. Lector handed a document to him immediately. “Here’s the report of the fingerprint identification. It proves that

all the fingerprints on these documents were made within the last three days, which means these handprints were

made by Mr. Pierce Woland within the last three days.”

Elijah instantly threw the report aside. “No way! This can’t be possible! I don’t believe this! I’m not gonna

acknowledge this. The Glenn Group is mine, and I’m the only one who calls the shot here! I won’t acknowledge

anything else.”

Mr. Lector replied, “Mr. Woland, I’m an attorney appointed by Mr. Pierce Woland. If you refuse to cooperate, I’ll

have no choice but to deal with this by legal means, by which time I can’t guarantee what kind of trouble you’ll get

into.” The underlying threat in his words was clear enough. Moreover, he had some law enforcement officers come

with him today.

A good–for–nothing wimp, Elijah dared not shoot from the hip again for a moment. He also knew he wasn’t justified

in having the Glenn Group to himself. He didn’t have to be afraid in the past when Pierce was dead, but what if

Pierce were still alive? The man could take back everything with just a single word. “Where’s Pierce? Get him to

come out and show himself! Is this how he’s trying to get rid of me? I’m his

1/3

uncle!” He was unwilling to leave in such a way. If he were to do so today, he might really end up losing everything.

Mr. Lector was already used to seeing shameless people like Elijah, so he didn’t even bat an eye. “Pierce Woland

has appointed me to deal with everything and sent specialized personnel to take over the company. As for your fate

in the company, Mr. Woland, it’s up to the person in charge of the company.”

Only then did Quinton step forward after quietly waiting aside the whole time? “I’m the person appointed by Pierce

to be in charge of the Glenn Group. Starting from now, I’ll take over the company. As for you, Mr. Elijah, Mr. Pierce

Woland has ordered that you be fired and driven out of the company immediately.” Elijah never thought he would

get driven out of the company at once. In an instant, he angrily swore, “How dare you! I’ll see who dares to get me

out of here! Who are you to do this to me? Where’s Pierce? Tell him to come and see me!”

Quinton immediately summoned the security guards. “Guards, get him out of here.” It’s totally unnecessary to be

polite with such a scoundrel.

As a consequence, Elijah got thrown out of the company by the security guards. He almost spat blood in anger, but

he couldn’t do anything about it. So, he had no choice but to go home to Charles to discuss the solution with the

latter.

Charles was also both shocked and furious upon learning about this. “Pierce’s actually still alive? He wants to take

back the Glenn Group and has banished you from the company?”

“That’s right! They had the security guards throw me out of the company right away.” Elijah foamed at the mouth

at the mention of this.

“Where is Pierce? Get him to come and see me! I don’t believe I can’t do anything about him as his grandfather!”

Charles‘ face darkened visibly with a hint of cruelty in his eyes. “I thought he already died seven years ago. Who

would’ve thought he’d be lucky enough to survive?”

Elijah replied, “Dad, Pierce never showed up the whole time. He appointed an attorney to handle it, so I didn’t get to

see him at all. Say, if Pierce is still alive, why didn’t he show up?” Obviously, he couldn’t figure

this out.

Charles frowned slightly. “You mean Pierce never showed up?”

Elijah nodded repeatedly and replied, “Yeah, he never showed up. He appointed somebody to deal with everything.”

Charles‘ eyes flickered for an instant. “Something’s odd about this. Since Pierce didn’t show up personally, we can

refuse to acknowledge this.”

Elijah, a good–for–nothing, was clever this time. “No, we can’t. Pierce didn’t show up, but he had everything

arranged perfectly. They’ve gone through legal procedures and had specialized law enforcement officers come

along with them, so it’s not up to us to refuse to acknowledge it.”

Charles‘ face went through several expressions of anger. “How impudent! How dare he do this to us!”

Elijah didn’t know to appease the old man, though. He just wanted to ask Charles for advice. “Dad, what

should we do now?”

Charles was smart enough to have it figured out. “If Pierce really is still alive, we’ll surely lose the Glenn Group. This

is really gonna be troublesome.

Elijah knew to make his choice at this critical moment. “Actually, the Glenn Group didn’t make much money in the

past few years. We still have so many good items and so many family properties in our hands, all of which can be

sold for money. What about we give up fighting for the company?”

Charles replied. That’s all we can do for now. Give me some time to think about other solutions.” Cunning as he

was, he was just an uneducated old man from the countryside. For a moment, he couldn’t come up with any good

solutions.
