Chapter 583

Horace was so frightened that he grabbed his head and bawled, “What are you doing? Ashlyn, don’t you dare come

any closer! This place is full of prison guards. They’ll come after you if you try to hurt me in any way!”

He felt a piercing pain on his scalp. He looked up to see that Ashlyn had wrenched a few strands of hair from his

head.

Horace’s face grew even paler. “Why are you doing that to my hair? Who do you think you are to pull my hair like

that?”

If this little wretch had already discovered the truth about what had happened all those years ago... if she actually

knew that she was...

The more Horace thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

Who had instigated Ashlyn to investigate this? And why had she suddenly gained a grandfather on her maternal

side?

Horace couldn

’t help but feel a little panicked.

However, now that he was locked up in jail, there was nothing he could do about it.

“Dad, no matter how you treat me, I’ll always regard you as my father. Only you know how biased you’ve been

towards Penelope all these years. Mary has cursed and beat me so many times, but you’ve never uttered a word to

stop her. Yet, here I was, wondering why you’ve never loved me.” Ashlyn picked up her handbag and drew a deep

breath. “The paternity test results will tell me exactly why.”

Judging by Horace’s reaction, Ashlyn could already deduce the truth behind their relationship.

However, what she really wanted was some sort of evidence that would prove their non-paternity.

With that in mind, her heart went cold as ice.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Horace couldn’t help but blurt out, “Why haven’t your stepmother and

Penelope dropped by to visit me at all?”

Ashlyn was dumbfounded. He was rotting miserably in jail, but all he could still think about were those two women.

She turned around and gazed at Horace with contempt. Pausing deliberately between every word, she said, “You

probably don’t know this, but the two of them have left the country. Nobody knows where they are.”

Ashlyn couldn’t care less about what those two vile women were up to. Thus, she refused to waste her time and

energy searching for answers.

“What? Have they abandoned me?” Horace’s eyes widened in disbelief and despair. “How could that be?”

Without another glance at her father, Ashlyn turned and left immediately.

Horace had been in jail for quite some time, but he still regarded her with the same amount of indifference. It was

obvious that he didn’t see her as his daughter at all.

With that, Ashlyn’s heart dropped with a thud, and she felt her chest tightened as disappointment overwhelmed

her.

After leaving the prison, Ashlyn immediately sent samples of Horace’s hair and her own to be tested by the

Paternity Testing Center at First Hospital.

The testing center informed her that, at the earliest, the results would be out at noon the next day.

No matter how urgently she wanted to know the results, Ashlyn would have to wait.

To be honest, it was an awful feeling.

Her panic made her feel as though a cat was scratching at her heart with its claws.

She had never realized how horrible it felt to play the waiting game.

Ashlyn sat in her office by herself, massaging her temples to alleviate her headache.

At that moment, her phone rang.

It was Jared who had called.

“Hey Boss, the Formula One World Championship is about to begin. We’re left with about four days until it starts.

Our racing team has already been assembled, and it’s up to you to decide who the company will field for the

championship.”

Ashlyn had been feeling very tired recently. Hence, no matter how healthy she was, it was impossible for anyone to

keep their sanity after experiencing what she had gone through the past few days.

Thus, she snapped a little impatiently as she was tired, “Aren’t you quite clear on what to do? Do I really have to

make all the decisions for you?”

“But Boss... I’m quite worried about your health...” Jared was really concerned about Ashlyn since she had just

recovered a while ago.

The Formula One World Championship was a huge deal.

Preparing for it would take a huge toll on both her physical and mental health.

“I’m fine,” Ashlyn replied. “Tell the racers to keep a healthier diet these few days and to avoid straining themselves

during practice. We can’t afford any injuries at this point.”

“Got it, Boss.” After joking around with Ashlyn for a while more, Jared finally hung up.

A cold silence fell upon the office once again.

Ashlyn put her head down on the table and drifted off to sleep.

When she finally woke up, she found herself wrapped in a warm embrace.

Blinking in confusion, she took in her surroundings and realized that she was in the office lounge.

She turned to look at the man whose arm was draped protectively around her. He was reclining against the

headboard, flipping leisurely through the magazine that was resting in his lap.
