Chapter 254
The name Enya-Christina hadn't heard it in over twenty years. If she had her
way, she'd never hear it again for the rest of her life. But she
never expected it to resurface under such circumstances today.
She should have realized earlier. Since it was the Beaumont family who approached them, the name was bound to come u
Seeing Christina lost in thought, Gregory nudged her and said, "He's asking you a question! Didn't you have a close friend named Enya back then?"
Snapped back to reality by Gregory's push, Christina shuddered under Byron's scrutinizing gaze. "Yes, over twenty years ag I had a close friend named Enya." But the Enya she knew wasn't some heiress of the
Beaumont family. Up until Byron found her, Christina had always thought Enya was just an ordinary person like her.
At most, Enya was prettier and a bit smarter. She never imagined Enya was Byron's younger sister. A flicker of complicated emotion passed through Christina's eyes.
"Yes, that's right. I met her as well. Back then, she and my wife were the best of friends. They not only got married around the same time but were also pregnant at nearly the same time," Gregory eagerly shared, trying to build rapport with Byron. Little did he know, his words only reminded Byron of Tyson-
the scoundrel who had taken away his beloved sister. That scoundrel not only took Enya away but also failed to give her a happy life, leading to her untimely death at a young age.
As Byron's expression darkened, Gregory felt uneasy. He couldn't figure out what he had said wrong to make Byron upset.
Ignoring Gregory, Byron turned his attention back to Christina. "So, you deliberately chose to adopt my sister's daughter?"
Christina froze for a moment, unsure of Byron's intent with the question. She lowered her head and replied, "Yes, that's right. After Enya passed away, her daughter was sent to Angel Orphanage. I couldn't bear to see her child suffer there, so I applied to adopt her." Pausing for a moment, Christina then looked up at Byron
with a sincere expression. "When I knew Enya, she told me she was an orphan with no parents. I had no idea she was your sister. If I'd known, I would have brought the child directly to you."
Byron nodded, not doubting Christina's words. Back then, Enya was indeed an orphan. Moreover, she had been estranged from him due to her refusal to accept the marriage he had arranged for her.noveldrama
Given Enya's personality, it was natural she wouldn't reveal her connection to the Beaumont family to others.
After Christina's explanation, Byron's expression softened, and his gaze toward her became much kinder. "Did you know? You actually resemble Enya in some ways."
"Yes, people used to say that a lot," Christina responded with a smile.
In the past, she used to resent being told that she bore some resemblance to Enya. Every time she and Enya were together, people would always notice Enya first and shower her with compliments. Only after they were done praising Enya's beauty would they casually add, "You know, you do look a bit like Enya."
That feeling was like Enya was the flawless original, and she was the laughable imitation. But now, at this moment, Christina felt fortunate that even a tiny part of her resemblance to Enya had been passed down to Brittany.
The atmosphere in the break room lightened up considerably. However, just then, Dylan received some news and whispered it to Byron. Upon hearing it, Byron's expression turned cold again as he looked at Gregory and Christina, "Why did you lie?" His deep voice, carrying the authority of someone used to commanding respect, pierced through their ears
Gregory and Christina exchanged glances, both seeing panic in each other's eyes.
"What do you mean? We didn't-Gregory said, his voice lacking conviction under Byron's sharp gare.
Christina, on the other hand, kept her head down, gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, too scared to even look at Byron as her heart pounded like a drum
Byron observed their reactions carefully. After a few seconds, he spoke slowly, "Didn't you say she went on a trip?"
"Huh?" Gregory froze, stammering. "Y-yes, that's right"
Byron let out a cold snort. "A trip to the police station?"
Gregory was stunned speechless by Byron's words, his mouth opening and closing without finding anything to say.
The Beaumont family's influence was so strong. In such a short time, they had already discovered Brittany's visit to the police station.
In an instant, Gregory gave up resisting and hurriedly apologized, Tm so sorry, sir. We didn't mean to lie to you. It's just
-
While Gregory stammered with a pale face. Christina subtly relaxed her grip on her clothes and let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief. But this small action didn't escape Byron's sharp eyes
"Sorry, it was wrong of us to lie to you but we just didn't want Brittany to leave a bad impression on you." Christina said earnestly, looking at Byron. "Besides. Brittany was set up. She acted impulsively, but she's kind- hearted at her core."
Yes, exactly Gregory nodded vigorously in agreement.
Byron didn't respond immediately. He simply stared at Christina coldly, as though evaluating the truth of her words.
Seeing the probing look in his eyes, Christina grew anxious. "Sir, even if you don't trust me, you should trust Enya -she's your sister after all"
At the mention of Enya, Byron's expression softened slightly.
"Brittany is your sister's biological daughter, the only bloodline she left in this world' Christina said, clearly playing the family card.
Sure enough, the harshness in Byron's eyes diminished further.
"If she truly is Enya's child, I can't leave her in the police station, Byron finally relented.
Christina was just about to express her gratitude when Byron spoke again.
"However, whether or not she's Enya's child still needs to be confirmed through a paternity test, Byron said, his eagle-
like eyes locking onto Gregory and Christina. "You two don't have any objections, do you?
