Zac looked at Petty who was unconscious and smiled. "How can I have the heart to kill her? She is my
wife. No matter what she did, it was because I didn't pay enough attention to her. We have to be
responsible to Mr. Green for this. Here is the money I have saved all these years in this card, which can
help her live a good life by herself. If she wakes up, tell her that her father is not a nice guy, and restart
her life anywhere no one knows her."
He looked at Petty lovingly and rubbed her face again and again. If possible, he really didn't want to let
go, but he has to be responsible to Samuel.
The speedboat started, and Petty was taken away.
Zac stayed at the seaside for a long time until the sun set. The red light swept across the horizon and
then the sun completely sank into the sea.
Only then did he feel a little cold.
Zac got in the car, started it, and drove back to the Green's.
Samuel was sitting on the sofa.
When Zac entered, he paused for a moment. Then, he came to Samuel's side and knelt down.
"Mr. Green, Petty was released by me. No matter how you're gonna punish me, I have no complaints. I
just hope that you will let her go. If anyone's to blame, it's me."
Zac said word by word.
Samuel looked at him without saying anything. He shook the glass in his hand slightly. The oscillation
of the wine made Zac a little uneasy.
Finally, he spoke.
"Zac, how long have you been with me?"
Zac was slightly shocked. Then, he looked down and said. "It has been seventeen years since I was
seven years old."
"Seventeen years. It's not a short time, but you betrayed me twice."
Samuel's words embarrassed Zac a little.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Green. I'm not a very promising person. I let you down. Maybe you shouldn't have taken
me away from the orphanage. What's the use of saying this now? I have no guts. I have lived for a
woman all my life. However, I really can't bear to part with her. Therefore, Mr. Green, I am willing to
come back to be punished."
Zac said sincerely. He truly felt guilty, but what could he do? He was always under the spell of love and
his betrayals were all because of Petty. He didn't know what else he could say.
Samuel looked at him and sighed. "Would you mind paying me back with your life?"
"No."
When he came back, Zac had already thought of such an outcome.
Elvis' matter had to be settled, and Samuel definitely wouldn't allow betrayal from people close to him,
so this was the most effective way to set an example for others.
He was willing.
Zac looked down without any hostility.
Samuel took a sip of wine and said gently. "Petty is pregnant."
"Yes."
Zac replied softly, and only then did he realize what Samuel had said.
"What?"
He looked up abruptly.
Samuel put on a faint smile, hiding his true thoughts, and he said it again patiently.
"She's pregnant. You're going to be a father. The examination report was sent by the doctor not long
ago. She had a general examination, but she didn't expect to be pregnant. She probably doesn't know
about it now. Now you can't even see your own child. Are you really willing to die?"
Zac hesitated.
He and Petty's child?
That would be a very cute child.
But he couldn't witness that.
That was good. With the child accompanying Petty, she might have a bit of hope in her life in the future.
After excitement, Zac cried in a low voice, because of both happiness and pity.
Samuel looked at him without saying anything. When Zac calmed down, Samuel put down the glass.
Zac took a deep breath and said resolutely. "Thank you for telling me this. I can die without regrets
now. I'm relieved to know that I would have a descendant. I didn't expect that I, an orphan without a
parent, would have a child. It's God's favor for me. I have no complaints. Mr. Green, do it. I only hope
that you can forgive my wife and child."
When Samuel heard that, he said indifferently. "Get up and sit."
Zac was surprised.
Wouldn't Samuel punish him?
He looked at Samuel and could not feel his anger. What exactly was going on?
Seeing that Zac was still standing there, Samuel spoke again.
"Just sit as I told you. Do you enjoy standing and kneeling?"
"No."
Zac hurriedly sat down.
He was panicked, wondering what Samuel was going to do, and he was worried about Petty.
"Mr. Green, did you have someone chase after Petty?"
"Yes."
Samuel just admitted.
Zac's eyes suddenly widened as he stood up.
"Mr. Green, I've already said that I'm the one to blame. Why...?"
"You're not, and you can't be."
As Samuel spoke, he tossed Zac a file bag.
"Take a look. This is news about your parents."
Zac was shocked.
Parents?
How was that possible?
Over the years, he had searched for his background secretly, but he couldn't find it at all. The director
of the orphanage said that he was left at the gate with his date of birth and name, and he didn't know
anything else.
Zac had always thought that he wouldn't know who his parents were in this lifetime. However, Samuel
actually gave him the information about his parents.
He was slightly shocked for a moment before hurriedly opening it.
His face clouded over gradually, and then, he closed the file.
"Mr. Green, is this true?"
"Look at you. You look like your father a lot. Furthermore, there is a paternity test here to confirm that
you are his son."
"But where did this paternity test come from?"
Zac looked at Samuel, short of breath.
Samuel stood up and turned his back to him, whispering. "I have someone bring your father's hair and
compare it with yours."
"My father's hair? Where is he?"
Zac became even more anxious.
Samuel turned around and looked straight at him, saying word by word. "He is at Elvis'. To be exact, he
is a researcher of Elvis' research institute, but he can't leave that institute for the rest of his life. So is
your mother. But your mother died of a cell infection three years ago."
"What exactly is going on?"
Zac was completely confused.
He had thought about his background, but he never thought that he was the son of a scientist.
Him?
Did he look like the son of a scientist?
However, Samuel's words left him no doubts. After all, he had no reason to do so, did he?
Yes.
He had reasons to do so.
Zac suddenly remembered Petty.
"You lied to me. You want me to turn against Petty for the sake of my father, and be willing to be your
lackey, so that I can help you deal with Elvis, right?"
Hearing Zac's words, Samuel frowned slightly.
"Am I such a person in your mind?"
Zac didn't dare to look into Samuel's eyes. He looked down and said, "I know you're not, but I can't
believe it. Besides that, I can't think of any other reason for you to do this."
"That's because my family owes you and your father. Do you really think that Petty can live a new life
after leaving you? Do you know Elvis' power overseas? It's easy for him to find Petty. Now that Petty is
pregnant with your child, if he threatens you or your father with this child, do you think your father will
fight against him?"
Samuel's words shocked Zac slightly.
"Fight against him?"
"Yes, your parents are not willing to do experiments for Elvis. I'm going to start with my grandfather. My
grandfather was a scientist, specializing in gene. Many years ago, he had researched gene duplication
and substitution experiments. However, he felt that the research violated the natural law and was afraid
of chaos, so he sealed the research results. Of course, this experiment was not done by one person. At
that time, there were four people who participated in this experiment, including my grandfather, your
grandfather, Old Kent, and Old Miller. At that time, they all swore that they would keep this secret
forever. The result of their research was locked up by my grandfather. From then on, the four of them
went their separate ways."
Samuel got himself a cup of tea and took a sip before continuing. "Originally, this matter ended here,
but when my father and Elvis were teenagers, my grandfather accidentally mentioned it when he was
drunk. We didn't take it seriously, but Elvis remembered it. Then, he had been searching for Grandpa's
research data. He had never found it. However, it did not hinder him from studying cytology and
genetics at a young age. But because of Grandpa's obstruction, he didn't complete it in the end. Later,
he and my father competed for the position of master of the Green family, mainly because of the
genetic data. However, Grandpa saw through his malicious intentions. He knew that if Elvis got the
data, he would cause chaos, so he expelled Elvis from my family."
At that time, many people didn't know why Elvis and Samuel's father compete against each other. They
thought that it was a grudge of a wealthy family and didn't know about the real reason.
Zac frowned. When he heard that, a trace of anger flashed through his eyes.
"Why exactly does Elvis want the research data?"
"I didn't know what he was going to do until Gerry appeared. The one who died, to be exact, should be
Gerry No. 1."
"What do you mean?"
Zac became more and more confused.
Samuel sneered and said. "Vincent and I are indeed the children of Zama and Elvis. They had IVF
babies back then. I have checked it. At that time, in order to ensure the survival rate, three IVF babies
were kept. However, only Vincent and I survived, and the other one was abandoned by the doctor
because of a congenital defect. However, Elvis returned to the research base with this defective
embryo. He looked for the scientists who had done the research with my grandfather at that time, but
they have already passed away. Among the descendants, the Kent family is engaged in business, and
our family doesn't allow that. Therefore, only your family and the Miller family are left. "
When Zac heard this, he understood a little, and he listened patiently.
