Chapter 681

lan knew it was impossible to keep lying at that moment. Dennis could kill Zane, meaning he had done his research thoroughly. There was no point in continuing to lie. Ian gritted her teeth and said to her son anxiously, “I’m sorry…”

Her words completely shattered Zane’s world. At the same time, Zhang Mao added, “Zane, you’re my son, my flesh and blood…”

“Shut the f*ck up!” Zane kicked Zhang Mao furiously. Zhang Mao did not expect Zane to kick him. He caught the kick head-on and fainted.

“Zhang Mao!” lan was shocked and hurriedly ran towards Zhang Mao.

Zane felt disgusted. He had never hated his mother so much. He thought he was the chosen one, but he didn’t expect to be the son of a gangster. He could not accept this.

Zane’s mind was racing indignantly. He suddenly remembered that the car in the video was a new car his father had bought for him. He cherished it very much, so he recognized it at a glance as his dearest car. Meaning the sex in that video happened recently.

He clung to Dennis’s thigh with the last bit of hope.

“Dad, they must have had an affair recently. I look so much like you. Look. I even have double eyelids. I am your son. Please, don’t leave me. This is my mother’s fault, not mine!”

However, Dennis mercilessly kicked Zane away again. “Get lost! If you were my flesh and blood, I would’ve acknowledged you. You’re a f*cking bastard. Disgusting!”

Melody Fox considerately used her phone to pull up another paternity test result. However, this time, she did not stand up for Zane. Instead, she handed the paternity test to Nana Jensen. “Show him.” This was the Jiang family’s matter, and Nana should handle it.

Nana Jensen nodded. She also felt disgusted by the arrogant mother and son. She took a few steps forward and showed the paternity test to Zane. “Open your eyes and see whose son you are!”

Zane grabbed the phone in disbelief. The report was divided into two parts. One was for him and Dennis, and the other was for him and Zhang Mao. It was written clearly that Dennis was not his father, but Zhang Mao was. Zane could still deny it when he heard other people’s words, thinking it was an assumption. But seeing an objective result first-hand left him speechless. Zane’s pupils instantly shrunk, and his expression kept changing.

Suddenly, Talia’s voice sounded from afar, “Nana, are you alright?”

Melody Fox had already asked David to leave Talia in the small kitchen, and she did not know that Zane and lan had come to Herbathrive to cause trouble. The noise from the fight earlier made her uneasy. So, she rushed out to the scene.

“Mom, I’m fine. Thanks to…” Nana Jensen’s voice choked. Her gaze shifted from Dennis to Melody Fox as she continued, “Thanks to Melody.”

Talia’s face was filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Miss Fox.”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “I’ll leave this place to you. I’ll check on the injuries of our other staff.”

Melody Fox was busy treating her injured staff. By the time she finished treating them, Nana Jensen had already returned to the hall.

“Melody!” She approached her and said, “The police have taken away Ian, Zane, and Zhang Mao. Dennis will sue Ian and her son for fraud. Meanwhile, Zhang Mao will be sentenced to jail for gathering a crowd to fight and damaging other people’s property. From what he said, the amount of money they took from him is huge. They can be sentenced to at least ten years in prison. As for the losses on Herbathrive’s side, Dennis promised to be responsible for compensating.”

Melody Fox nodded and glanced sideways. He did not see Talia.

Nana Jensen noticed her gaze and said, “Dennis went away with my mother. They were talking about something. When I came in, I saw Dennis knelt to my mother.”

Melody Fox nodded. She had changed Ken’s view on Dennis. In other words, Ken would not do anything to the Jiang family. Therefore, it was entirely Dennis’s business whether he wanted to invite Talia and the rest back.

Meanwhile, looking at this situation, Dennis realized something. Nana Jensen and her mother were two people who truly loved him. After a brief silence, Melody Fox said, “Nana, regardless of whether you stay or leave, I will respect your decision. If you choose to go back, Dennis will treat you well in the future. The door to Herbathrive will be open to you at any time.”

Nana Jensen lowered her head with a complicated expression. Melody Fox had already guessed what she was thinking and ensured, “You don’t have to feel burdened. Dennis is old and needs a successor. Once your only daughter returns, she will be the only successor. You don’t have to continue staying here to do chores.”

“But my mother… I can feel she’s heartbroken by Dennis and doesn’t want to go back.”

“Then you don’t have to think about her. She may be your mother, but you’re not entirely bound to her. I think she’ll be happier if you go back. If she chooses to stay alone, I promise to take good care of her, and you can visit her often. Don’t worry about her.”

The hesitation in Nana Jensen’s heart gradually disappeared.

Although she liked Herbathrive, she studied management and was not suitable to stay in such a small medical center. If she returned, she would have more room to shine, allowing her abilities to be fully displayed. “I understand, Melody. I’ve decided to go back.”

Melody Fox smiled. “That’s right. Don’t forget about me when you’re rich.”

“I will never forget you!” Nana Jensen’s eyes were filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Melody. I owe you too much.”

Melody Fox shook her head. From the corner of her eye, she saw David constantly looking at her.

She lowered her gaze and smiled. “You know? Aside from me, there’s someone you need to inform about your decision.”

Nana Jensen’s eyelids twitched. She then thought of David. Melody Fox chuckled and nudged Nana Jensen. “Go!”

After Nana Jensen walked toward David, Melody approached an injured Herbathrive worker. Seeing Melody Fox coming over, he hurriedly wanted to get up. “Miss Fox…”

“Sit down.” Melody Fox held him down and asked, “Are you still dizzy?”

That person shook his head. “I’m feeling much better now, thanks to you.”

“You had a concussion just now. I’ll get someone to take you to Central Hospital to take a look.”

“Can’t I be treated here?” That person said reluctantly, “The others are staying in the clinic to be treated…”

“Your injury is different. Our medical center’s equipment isn’t as good as a big hospital. I’ll only be at ease if we go to a big hospital for a proper checkup. Don’t worry, I’ll reimburse your medical expenses and give you a week off.”

Without waiting for that person to answer, Melody Fox had already

called someone and asked him to take the injured staff to Central Hospital. Melody Fox had just watched them leave when David ran from behind towards the opposite street.
