MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Chapter 276 - 276: DNA Result



After a while, Garwood came in quietly and whispered, "Miss Schultz, it's time to go. Mr. Sterling said that it's not good for you to stay in the hospital for too long."

Savannah nodded. She said good-bye to Matt and went out of the hospital with Garwood.

As she got into the car, she could not help but ask, "Garwood, why didn't he tell me about this in advance?"

On the driver's seat, Garwood paused for a moment, turned his head, and sighed silently, "Mr. Sterling did all this… for the sake of you, Miss Schultz."

"For my sake?" She raised her eyebrows in amazement.

"Mr. Sterling didn't allow you to investigate into your friend's case because he was afraid that Mrs. Yontz might murder you when pressed. After all, she dares to kill Olivia, it's not surprising that she will do you harm too."

Savannah took a breath and became clear. "He hasn't told anyone else about my pregnancy..."

"He just wants to protect you and the baby. Miss Schultz, you've been with Mr. Sterling for some time, and you should know that struggles for power are quite normal in rich families. Mr. Sterling is the only son of old Sterling, and the baby in you is the future master of the Sterling family. If Mr. Yontz and Mrs. Yontz know that Mr. Sterling has his own child, we can't imagine what they will do in order to secure their own power and position. It'll be hard for us to keep you safe at that time. That's why Mr. Sterling keeps your pregnancy a secret. He plans to tell old Sterling when your state is stable enough."

Savannah bit her lip and remained silent for a long time. Did she misunderstand him? He temporarily kept this matter secret to protect her, not because he wanted to abandon her after she gave birth to the baby?

Garwood started the engine and was about to drive when Savannah asked, "where's he now? Has he gone to the company?"

Garwood shook his head significantly. "Mr. Sterling has something important to do today. He'll go back to Beverly Hills after that."

In Sterling's house.

After Valerie was detained by the police in the detention house, Devin rushed to Sterling's house to ask his grandpa for help. Early in the morning, old Sterling was shocked and almost fainted when he learned that Valerie was arrested by the police. It was said that Savannah's friend, who fell into a vegetative state, was Valerie's victim, and last night, Valerie even sneaked into the hospital to kill her again!

However, thinking of the child in Valerie's belly, old Sterling could only hold back his anger temporarily. He sent a lawyer to bail Valerie out first.

Two hours later, the lawyer came back alone with a serious look, saying that because Valerie attempted to murder two times and was caught on the pot this time, the case became serious and not bailable now.

Astonished, Devin still tried to retrieve the situation. He took old Sterling by the sleeve and said, "Grandpa, you must help Valerie! She's really wrong..."

"Wronged? She was caught by the police on the spot! You must know what she did as her husband too! You two…you are going to be the cause of my death!" Old Sterling became more furious and shook off Devin.

"Anyway, Valerie's still pregnant with my child," Devin cried with a long face, "Grandpa, you have to help her for the sake of the baby. Besides, it will disgrace our family if that comes out."

Old Sterling, of course, had the same thought. He gave his grandson a stern look and called the police chief himself.

The police chief answered the phone respectfully, but when old Sterling asked him to let Valerie go, he answered helplessly, "sir, it's too serious this time. Last night, your granddaughter-in-law was caught on the spot, several nurses and doctors saw what happened too. What's more, we don't know who gave it out, Daily News knows the case and said that they would follow up on the progress of this case at any time. If we let the suspect go, the media won't let me go! Don't worry, sir. I know your granddaughter-in-law is pregnant. I will ask my subordinate to watch more closely to her and keep her safe."

Knowing that the police chief could not help, old Sterling frowned and hung up the phone.

Devin rushed to him and asked, "Grandpa, how's it?"

Old Sterling repeated the police chief's words.

Devin clenched his fists. Needless to say, it must be his uncle who put the news to the media. He frightened the police out of releasing Valerie.

It was also his uncle who tempted Valerie into the trap last night.

"Grandpa, in any case, you should find a way to protect Valerie and your great-grandson. Valerie's pregnant now, and the baby will be affected after staying in detention for too long!" Devin was really worried. The unborn child was not only the next generation of the Sterling family but also... his only child in this life. Valerie couldn't have an accident again!

Old Sterling thought about the problem for a little while and knitted his white eyebrows. If the police could not make the decision, he could only turn to the prime minister, Robert Smith…

The Sterling family had a good relationship with the Smith family, and Robert was his old friend too.

He picked up the phone and was about to dial the number when a servant rushed in hurriedly, "sir, Mr. Sterling is back."

"Dad wants to call Mr. Smith?" Dylan's voice sounded chilly.

Old Sterling saw his son come, paused, and nodded his head.

Devin had a bad feeling when he saw his uncle. A shiver ran down his back.

"Valerie attempted murders twice. She got only what she deserved. Dad, you still want to protect her?" Dylan strode in.

Old Sterling frowned. "I'm not protecting her. I'm protecting the baby in her belly."

"Then don't worry," Dylan said dryly.

"What do you mean?" asked old Sterling, surprised.

"Because the child in Valerie's belly has nothing to do with the Sterling family." Dylan threw a stack of papers into Cooper's hands.

All the people present changed their faces!

Devin rushed forward, "uncle, don't talk nonsense!"

Dylan was too lazy to talk to him and just motioned to his father to look at the document.

Old Sterling, with a pale face, took the document from Cooper and read it line by line.

This was a paternity test report issued by DNA Diagnostics Center. DNA samples were taken from Valerie's fetus and Devin.

Dylan took the DNA from both and sent it to the agency for testing seven days ago.

Today, it just came out.

The final result of the DNA report was clear: Probability of Paternity: 0%

Devin was not considered the biological father of the unborn baby.

"With current DNA technology, it's now possible to identify the relationship of paternity even if the baby is unborn. The result is clear." Dylan glanced sympathetically at his nephew, who was being cuckolded.
