Chapter 585
“To bring glory to Nolan Group, of course!” Carmen smiled cheerfully. The racing suit hugged her body in the right
places and showed off her beautiful figure. Her radiant face, coupled with her mane of long, shiny hair, made her
look extremely alluring.
Nathan couldn’t help but hug her tightly. “I heard that you’ve managed to bring your speed up to 430 miles an hour.
It’s great to have you back on our team!”
“I only managed to do that once! It doesn’t mean I’ll be able to reach 430 miles an hour in every single race.”
Carmen laughed, looking very sexy as she did.
However, there was a hint of pride in her voice.
Carmen held the record for the fastest racing speed in the country. For the last few years, she had been racing with
another team overseas. However, she had received news that Nolan Group was participating in an international
competition. Immediately, her mind had jumped to Lucas’s cold, beautiful face, and his powerful position in society.
This was an excellent chance for her to get close to him, and she wasn’t going to pass it up.
She was the fastest racer in the entire country, after all! Only a woman like her could befit a man like him.
Letting go of Nathan, Carmen made her way over to Lucas and said with a brilliant smile, “Mr. Nolan, aren’t you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthappy to see me?”
“Of course, I’m happy to see you. Thank you for offering to help us during our hour of need,” Lucas replied politely.
“Please have a seat. Regarding your participation in this race, if you have any conditions you’d like us to fulfill,
please feel free to mention them.”
“Just give me the same treatment as you extend to Mr. Cartier here.” Carmen continued to flash her brilliant smile
at him. She believed firmly that, with time, she would be able to make Lucas fall in love with her.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn was busy - very busy.
However, when the afternoon rolled around, she still took the time off to drop by Mr. Chapman’s for a visit.
Mr. Chapman was well on his way to recovery. In fact, he already looked much better than he did yesterday.
When he saw Ashlyn, Mr. Chapman stretched an arm out to her and croaked, “My... child.”
“Your body is still very weak, so there’s no need for you to greet me.” Ashlyn dragged a chair over and sat down by
his bedside. She surveyed the old man rather coolly.
To this day, she still couldn’t believe that her mother was a member of the Chapman family.
None of Mr. Chapman’s features resembled her mother’s at all.
“I-is my mother really from the Chapman family?” Ashlyn felt a little doubtful. The emotions swirling within her were
so complicated that she couldn’t put them into words.
“I...” Just as Mr. Chapman began to say something, the door swung open, and a nurse stepped into the room. She
was holding an envelope in her hand.
“Dr. Berry, the results of your paternity test is out.”
Ashlyn felt her heart skip a beat. Standing up abruptly, she took the envelope from the nurse.
This was the moment she had been looking forward to. However, with the results right before her, she felt a little
hesitant to look at them. She was rarely afraid of anything, but she truly felt afraid now.
However...
Taking a deep breath, Ashlyn ripped off the seal on the envelope containing the test results.
Flipping through the rest of the pages, she quickly arrived at the last page.
When she saw the results printed at the bottom of the page, she froze in shock.
Although she already had an inkling about what the results would be, having the results stare at her in the face felt
horrible.
‘Non-kinship’.
‘Non-kinship’!
She truly wasn’t Horace’s biological daughter at all.
So it was as she had feared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, everything seemed so clear now.
Ashlyn finally understood why Horace had mistreated, taken advantage of, hated, and neglected her on so many
counts.
Well, if I’m not Horace’s biological daughter, then what about grandma? Did she know about this, too?
Ashlyn stuffed the documents back into the envelope. After that, she bid Mr. Chapman farewell and left in a hurry.
There was one thing she had to do now. She had to find her grandma and demand an explanation from her.
Her grandmother, Susan, had been discharged from the hospital a while ago. Now, she stayed in one of Horace’s
old houses.
She was the only person staying in the large house. If it hadn’t been for the nurse who accompanied her and
chatted with her on a daily basis, Susan would’ve given up on life much sooner.
As she busied herself by peeling garlic in the living room, she heard the front door open and then shut. Looking up,
she saw Ashlyn walk into the room.
The girl’s face was deathly pale, and her expression was as cold as the frost of early winter. The look she shot
towards her grandmother was both foreign and familiar.
Susan’s heart ached a little for her granddaughter. Smiling at her good-naturedly, she said, “Ashlyn, you’re here!”
