Is she finally going to appear?
I raised the corners of my mouth and said, “Oh, really? Falso have a surprise for you, it’s definitely yo
Chapter 5
Eric didn’t understand the meaning of what I said.
When he asked, I answered, “No rush, it wouldn’t be interesting if I said it now.”
The game reached its final stage
and it was time to reveal the answer.
The next day at noon.
The welcoming banquet officially began.
Everyone was present.
The attendees of the banquet were all influential figures, including two television reporters who had interviewed Eric.
Eric stepped onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and had a confident smile on his face.
“Today was a day of double happiness in our family. Thank you all for coming to celebrate with us. I had prepared a beautiful gift for each of you.”
The atmosphere instantly became lively upon hearing that there were gifts.
Everyone was very excited.
However, there was more confusion.
Someone asked loudly, “Mr. Johnson, we know that the abandoned baby you picked up has achieved academic success. Today, welcoming back a doctor is indeed a great joy. I just don’t know where the other joy comes from.”
Immediately, it was met with a chorus of agreement.
Yeah, what else is there to be happy about?
Is it possible that Mr. Johnson was awarded as an outstanding young entrepreneur?
Mr. Johnson’s company was about to go public, right?
“Everyone, calm down,” Eric became excited, “Another plece of good news is that Ellior’s biological mother has been found.”
“Although I raised Elliot as my own child all these years, blood is thicker than water, and I have been desperately searching for Elliot’s biological mother.”
“I believe that Elliot’s biological mother must have been searching for him as well. No mother would abandon her own child; something unexpected must have happened back then.”
Perhaps it was fate, as just yesterday, the day after Dr. Elliot returned from his studies, I finally received good news from the missing persons agency I had entrusted. The child’s biological mother has been found, and mother and son are finally reunited.”
From the audience, applause and cheers resounded.
Everyone admired Eric
A child, who was picked up covered in feces and urine, was raised and nurtured to become successful. Surprisingly, they selflessly returned the child to their motiver.
How noble the character was.
I remained silent.
He coldly watched this scene.
1 felt incredibly amused in my heart.
What a hypocrite, pretending to be a gentleman. He must have rehearsed many times beforehand.
Just at that rycapria
Biliet’s birth another finally made a shining appearance.
was a stylistaly alressed woman, who not only looked beautiful but also had a lot of elegance.
After a brief introduction by Eric, he began to get down to leisiness.
He sighed deeply and said, “I have lived with Elliot for so many years. In my heart, he was like my own son.

“Elliot couldn’t leave me, and I couldn’t leave him either, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to survive a single day.”
However, Elliot’s birth mother had been searching for him for so many years, so how could I bear to not let the mother and son reunite?
“So after much thought, there was only one way to make up for this regret, and that was for me to divorce my current wife,”
In fact, the love between my wife and I had long been dead. I am making this decision now, both out of helplessness and as a win–win solution. I wonder If everyone present can understand my dilemma.”
From the audience, a chorus of voices rang out in unison. “Understood!”
Then, it was a buzz of whispers.
Mr. Johnson should have divorced a long time ago, his current wife is simply not worthy of him.
Yeah, it was better to separate, it was a relief for both parties, and it was a sign of maturity.
A good person like Mr. Johnson should have lived a happy life.
Eric left the podium and walked towards me
He took out the thick envelope and handed it to me, saying, “There is 1 million inside. I only have this much now, and I’m giving it all to you”
“Is this the surprise you gave me?”
J–yes.
“Yes, I wouldn’t let you go through it in vain.”
I gently pushed the envelope and said, “No need.”
“You wouldn’t disagree with the divorce, would you?” Eric’s voice became urgent. “Elliot’s biological mother has been found, and for the sake of the child, I can only do this. I believe you won’t stand in the way, because you also care about this child.”
“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t have stopped you.”
“So… Claire, what did you mean in the end?
I silently smiled.
The time has come for the truth to be revealed
I looked around.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I have a video clip in my hands. I wonder if any of you are interested in watching it.”
