CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: ETHAN DEMANDS HENRY TO REDO THE PATERNITY TEST

Henry is using the project to pressure Ethan Grant.

If he can’t pressure Ethan Grant, then he has to pressure Arthur Grant.

"Henry, our two families have been old friends. When Ethan’s grandfather was around, he had camaraderie with your grandfather, naturally leading to close cooperation between the families," Arthur Grant said with a smile, clearly interested in the Montville Mining Area project. "Ethan, Henry is Summers’ biological father, give the child to him."

After Arthur Grant said this, the faces of The Bells turned extremely dark.

Especially Claudia Bell.

They’re not even married yet, she’s just hanging by the title of fiancée.

Yvette has even given birth to Henry’s child.

But the Bell Family dare not speak up now, fearing exacerbating conflicts.

Old Mr. Jennings intends to protect his bloodline, which displeases the Bell Family, but they have to endure it.

Today, Claudia Bell accidentally injured Summers, Mr. Bell still needs to find a way to explain to Old Mr. Jennings, there is no choice but to swallow this bitterness.

When Claudia actually marries into the Jennings Family, after she has given Henry a son, then dealing with Summers won’t be urgent.

"Mr. Grant..." Yvette stood behind Ethan Grant, timidly tugging at his coat, feeling very anxious.

She couldn’t let Ethan Grant lose too much commercial cooperation because of her.

If that happened, the board of directors would have opinions against him.

Melody Crowe and Jayden Grant already wanted to seize power, he couldn’t afford to offend Henry now.

Henry’s influence on Ethan Grant’s position in the Grant Group was indeed quite significant.

"He won’t harm Summers, give Summers to me... sorry for causing trouble for you," Yvette whispered, her head bowed, holding onto Ethan Grant’s coat tightly.

Even though she was so unwilling.

Ethan Grant furrowed his brow, holding Summers with one hand and gently rubbing her head with the other. "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, okay?"

Yvette shook her head, her eyes red. "Don’t... go head-to-head with him, it’s not worth it."

"Whether it’s worth it or not, I decide."

Ethan Grant’s voice was very soft, yet extremely indulgent and gentle.

Wendy Bell glared with jealousy, eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ethan Grant... could he really be so gentle with a woman?

"I will never give you the child, Claudia Bell must publicly apologize and leave Meridia, this is my final warning." Ethan Grant looked back at Henry, his voice deep.

Both were exuding an aura of oppression, their sights intersecting, full of gunpowder tension.

Henry’s face became very unpleasant. "Ethan Grant, it seems you must give up Apex as a cooperative partner."

"If near concerns aren’t resolved, far ones will follow. Since Apex already has other ideas, I don’t think there is a need to continue the cooperation, losses are naturally borne jointly, it’s not just the Grant Group that suffers." Ethan Grant sneered.

Using this to threaten him? Is the Jennings Family not making money in this partnership?

Henry’s expression darkened further. "Ethan Grant, he is my son!"

"Ethan, give the child back to Henry! What father doesn’t love his son? He is the real father of the child." Arthur Grant’s fingers were trembling with anger.

Ethan Grant was acting crazy today.

Arthur Grant’s voice was so loud that Summers was startled awake, rubbing her eyes.

Ethan Grant gave Arthur Grant a cold, oppressive look.

Arthur Grant paused, wondering if he had scared his own son?

"Henry, until you break off the engagement with the Bell Family, I will not allow you to see Summers. Claudia Bell dared to hurt Summers without even marrying into the Jennings Family yet. When she becomes Summers’ stepmother, the consequences can only be imagined, such as pouring acid, poisoning, she should be capable of such things!"

Ethan Grant’s complexion looked bad, and these words weren’t just for Henry but also for Arthur Grant.

Over the years, he hadn’t openly confronted Arthur Grant about these matters.

Because he knew Arthur Grant wasn’t qualified to be a father.

From the time his mother passed away to now, Melody Crowe has harmed him countless times, wasn’t Arthur Grant really aware?

"With a stepmother comes a stepfather, folk sayings should be adhered to." Ethan Grant soothed Summers, warning Henry.

Summers held onto Ethan Grant’s neck, speaking softly. "Dad... I’m so sleepy."

"Go to sleep," Ethan Grant comforted gently, patting Summers’ back.

"Summers, come home with Dad." Henry reached out for Summers.

Summers looked back, staring blankly at Henry.

"Summers, Daddy will protect you in the future, okay?" Henry coaxed Summers. "It’s my fault, Daddy didn’t take good care of you, your injuries, Daddy will give you an explanation, alright?"

Summers looked carefully at Ethan Grant, then at Yvette, unsure whether to trust him.

Mom said, Henry was her father.

But she liked Ethan Grant’s Dad more.

"Bad woman bullied Mom, let people hurt Mom, you’re my Dad, will you protect Mom, will you punish the bad people?" Summers asked cautiously.

"I will." Henry nodded.

On the other side, The Bell Family was about to explode with anger, especially Claudia Bell.

"Yvette, you fox, aren’t you just using this little wildling to tie up Henry! Whether the child is Henry’s or not is still uncertain, if you have the guts let’s do another paternity test!" Claudia Bell stubbornly refused to admit that the child was Henry’s.

She didn’t believe it.

"Shut up!" Henry turned back angrily and roared at Claudia Bell.

Claudia Bell was frightened and cried aggrievedly. "Henry, I’m your fiancée, and you yelled at me!"

Henry only thought Claudia Bell was noisy. "Before I investigate your harm to Summers, get out!"

Henry told Claudia Bell to leave.

In essence, he was giving The Bells a way out.

He was still, overtly or covertly, siding with The Bell Family.

Maintaining this marriage alliance.

No matter if he was acting against his will or due to the old man’s reasons, it deeply hurt Yvette.

Originally, she thought... if the Jennings Family must fight for Summers, she couldn’t provide Summers with good education, admitting defeat also wouldn’t matter, at least Henry would be good to Summers.

But now it seems Ethan Grant was right... with someone like Claudia Bell as the stepmother, how could she be at ease handing the child over to him.

"Even at this point, you still protect her..." Yvette asked hoarsely. "Summers is your son, Claudia Bell hurt him, now it’s just minor injuries, what if it’s some other accident? To you it doesn’t matter, right?"

Henry’s heart tightened, knowing his decision hurt Yvette.

But he would make up for it later.

Just not now...

"Yvette, I’ve told you, you just need to wait a few years," Henry reassured quietly.

"No need..." Yvette said disappointedly, avoiding Henry.

Over there.

Mr. Bell and Mrs. Bell turned and wanted to leave, intending to discuss further upon return.

"I only give The Bell Family three days, if The Bell Family doesn’t hold a press conference admitting Claudia Bell’s wrongdoing, doesn’t send her abroad or leave Meridia, I will hold the press conference myself, all evidence is in my hand, if you don’t believe, try and see." Ethan Grant threatened The Bell Family.

"Ethan Grant!" Arthur Grant was indeed very angry.

But this time, Claudia Bell was in the wrong first, Arthur Grant couldn’t intervene much apart from being angry.

He’s not considering this father-son relationship anymore, only considering Ethan Grant’s contribution and ability to the Grant Group.

"Henry! Look, Ethan Grant is treating our Bell Family this way, it’s also going against the Jennings Family! I am your fiancée, as for a woman like Yvette, do you know how many men she has been with? I don’t believe Summers is your child, I demand a new paternity test!" Claudia Bell said angrily.

Ethan Grant looked at Henry, his voice deep. "Then let’s redo the paternity test."
