Chapter 608: Chapter 607: With Me Here

"Do you remember that USB drive? There was a man named Evan Osborne on it?"

South Grant nodded; she certainly remembered.

That man looked a lot like Ian Grant, but Evan Osborne’s features were more defined, while Ian Grant was more elegant.

Because the photo was from Evan Osborne’s youth, there was still a big difference compared to Ian Grant in South Grant’s memory.

"If I’m not mistaken, he should be your biological father."

South Grant gaped in surprise, just as Nathan Foster continued speaking:

"You should know that the Ellison Family patriarch had a pair of twin daughters back then. The elder daughter got lost as a child and was never found. By a strange twist of fate, the Ellison’s elder daughter, after many turns, married Evan Osborne’s father. Claire Ellison and her sister already looked alike, and their sons also had some similarities."

South Grant was staring at Nathan Foster in a daze, "Uncle, I have a bold idea..."

"What?" Nathan Foster responded.

"Could it be that my mother was taken back by that Osborne and subjected to all kinds of revenge, then my father saved her? She was so tormented by Evan Osborne that she forgot everything from before, then she and my father developed feelings for each other, and so my father brought her back to the country..."

Nathan Foster listened to South Grant’s speculation, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Seeing Nathan Foster’s expression, South Grant realized she had overthought it.

"What exactly happened?"

Nathan Foster ruffled her hair and said: "Earlier, I watched a video of Ian Grant and noticed his facial stiffness. Whether speaking or smiling, it was all very stiff. That’s when I suspected that something might have been surgically altered on Ian Grant’s face." 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

South Grant hadn’t thought about this, so she looked at Nathan Foster, who continued:

"When I later saw the photo of Evan Osborne on the USB drive, I had a hunch. The two looked so similar that if Evan Osborne had made some surgical changes to parts of his face, he should resemble Ian Grant later on. So, I began investigating this angle. Sure enough, this year, I tracked down the hospital where he had surgery back then. It’s been confirmed: Ian Grant is Evan Osborne, and the real Ian Grant died in the car accident with Claire Ellison. He pushed Claire Ellison out of harm’s way, and he got hit by the car. He was rushed to the hospital but unfortunately passed away. Perhaps Evan Osborne happened to need Ian Grant’s identity at that time, so he covered up the incident and later became Ian Grant."

South Grant listened in a daze for a while before she could piece together what Nathan Foster had said.

Which meant that her father, "Ian Grant," was actually not Ian Grant, but Evan Osborne.

In other words, he was her biological father!

Once she understood, South Grant suddenly sat up and then said:

"So, does this mean Seth and I are siblings with the same father and mother?"

"Yes." Nathan Foster nodded.

South Grant couldn’t help but exclaim: This was truly unexpected.

"Do Grandpa and the others know about this?" South Grant asked.

Nathan Foster nodded, and South Grant reasoned that they must have known; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to piece together the clues.

Nathan Foster then hugged her and gently patted her to comfort her, saying:

"Don’t be afraid. I’m not the child I once was, who had to listen to everything they said. And you’re not your mother, who had no protection and could only follow her father’s arrangements. Rest assured, as long as I’m here, no one can hurt you."
