Chapter 1089 Paternity Test Report
The news caused a global sensation. Jolencami's royal family received blessings from all over the
world, except for Northfield. Theodore sat in Oscar's office, staring at him as he silently read through
the congratulatory messages that had been placed in front of him by his assistant. Theodore was
growing impatient and asked, "How much longer do you need to look at those?" There were only a few
words left to read.
Oscar shifted his gaze away from the messages and said, "Theodore, give me a cigarette." Theodore
handed Oscar a cigarette and lit it for him while complaining about how full the ashtray was becoming.
"Besse and Doyle have gone back in Jolencami for almost half a year now." Theodore continued. "If
they were going to come back, they would have already done so by now. They're probably getting
married soon anyway."
Oscar took another drag of his cigarette. He watched Besse leave with Doyle months ago but he
always thought she might come back someday, perhaps when she found back her memory or she
couldn't let go of the familiarity with Northfield.
Theodore interrupted his thoughts and said, "If you don't send out congratulations, soon it could affect
relations between the two countries." He walked straight to Oscar's desk and took away that invitation
card. He said, "I'll let them send the congratulations. It's done."
Oscar reluctantly agreed as he knew deep down that he couldn't force her to come back even though it NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
hurt so much not having her there anymore.
Just then Oscar's phone rang interrupting their conversation.
"Have you received the invitation?" asked Susan, excited.
There wasn't a response from Oscar.
Susan continued, "I received one. And I've booked the flight tickets to go there this Saturday, are you
going?"
There were three days left.
"You're not going, right? You didn't receive the invitation, did you?" Susan said with a smug face.
"No, I didn't get that." Finally, Oscar uttered words.
"As I expected. Do you have anything you want me to pass on to Besse? I can take it for you," Susan
asked intentionally.
Oscar pursed his lips and pretended not to hear her. "Aren't you due soon?" he asked instead.
"I haven't given birth yet," Susan replied nonchalantly.
"Manuel allows you to go?"
"If he says no, he'll lose the two of us." Susan was firm in her decision.
Oscar could imagine the scene of Susan forcing Manuel into submission.
"So do you have anything for me to give Besse?"
"No."
"Really nothing?"
"Nothing."
"Boring," Susan said. "I thought maybe you'd try and steal the bride or something."
Oscar had hung up the phone already.
He sat in his office chair, leaning back with no energy left in him.
Steal the bride?
He laughed at himself bitterly. He couldn't even think about that now.
Suddenly, his phone rang again. Oscar picked it up without looking at who was calling.
"Manuel," came Manuel's voice from the other end of the line. "Did Susan call you?"
"Yeah, she said you're going to a wedding tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
"What I mean is... do you want to come with us?"
"No thanks, I didn't receive an invitation."
"You're just going to watch her get married again... to someone else?"
"What else can I do?"
"Maybe she's waiting for you."
"She won't be waiting for me."
"You have Salem."
Oscar fell silent at this point. Indeed, Salem was their only connection but he wasn't sure if it worked for
her. Besides, he didn't want to force her into anything anymore.
"I had someone send something over to you." Manuel continued speaking on the phone. "Take a look
at it when it arrives. I'll go with Susan tomorrow, wait for your good news."
After the call, Oscar put his phone aside.
Theodore walked back into his office holding some documents in hand.
"Looks like something from Manuel arrived here personally addressed just for your eyes." Theodore
handed him over those papers and curiously asked, "What's this? Why be so cryptic?"
As Oscar took hold of those papers and began tearing off its confidentiality seal strip open, Theodore
leaned forward trying hard enough so as not to miss out on any details. But Oscar stopped when he
saw Theodore glance towards him. He glanced at him.
Theodore was speechless. What was in there so private that they couldn't be shared with him? What
were Oscar and Manuel, these two old foxes, calculating again?!
He turned his head and looked to the side, indicating that he was not interested.
Oscar took out the documents, on which it was written in bold letters, "Parentage Testing Certificate.
Appraisers: Besse and Salem."
Oscar's heart was beating involuntarily.
Although he had an answer, he was still afraid to find out the result. He tightly pursed his lips and
hesitated to look at the appraisal conclusion.
Susan heard Manuel on the phone and curiously asked, "What did you take to Oscar? Why didn't I
know about it?"
"Good stuff," Manuel laughed.
"What exactly is it?"
"I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"Didn't you promise me that you would listen to me as long as I let you attend the wedding? Now, do I
have to tell you everything? Are you going back on your word? If so, I will cancel tomorrow's flight
immediately."
She had never won a fight against Manuel. Susan took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions
before asking, "Do you think Oscar will go to the wedding?"
"He will go," Manuel said firmly.
Susan was a bit sceptical and asked, "Really?"
"We'll know when the time comes." Manuel laughed.
This was also why he ultimately compromised and allowed Susan to attend the wedding. He didn't
want to miss some of the scenes.
"Go to bed early tonight and no more staying up late. We are taking a flight tomorrow and we will be
accompanied by a private doctor. You must stay by my side at all times when you're in Jolencami. If
you have any problems adjusting to the environment, the doctor advises that we return home
immediately regardless of whether the wedding takes place or not."
"Manuel, you're not afraid that I die with the baby in front of you, are you?"
"If so, it would be three lives lost."
