Chapter 380
Since Sean had mentioned it, Angeline was curious. “What happened to Winston?”
“Winston isn’t Mr. Webb’s son.” Sean smiled slightly as he turned the steering wheel and drove out of the parking lot. “The child was swapped.”
Angeline was shocked. She had never imagined that something like that would happen.
“I thought that this kind of scenario would only happen in TV shows, movies, or novels.”
“This kind of scenario was inspired by real-life events.” Then Sean explained slowly to Angeline, “The paternity test results were out. The Webb family’s nanny at the time swapped the children because she wanted her grandson to live a good life with a good family.
“Mr. Webb was away on a business trip while Mrs. Webb left the child to the nanny’s care after he was born. The nanny swapped Mr. Webb’s child for her own grandchild.”
“Where is Mr. Webb’s real son?” Angeline asked.
“Mr. Webb’s real son is a go-getter. He excelled academically throughout his childhood, and although his family kept oppressing him and made him go to work to earn money for his younger brother, he got a scholarship and continued studying. The scholarship money was taken by the nanny’s family too, so he worked hard and
saved up.
“Finally, he met his wife at university and married her. However, due to his relationship with his family, they got divorced after two months. He asked for nothing and left everything to his wife. Then he decided to go abroad and deleted everyone he knew from his contact list. It took us quite a long time to locate Mr. Webb’s real son.”
When they had finally found him, Taylor had gone to Daniel with the evidence and told him about everything.
Daniel had made Winston get a paternity test with both himself and the nanny, and he finally confirmed that Winston was related to the nanny.
When Daniel’s
iel’s wife, Janet Dorcan,
heard that she had been treating the nanny’s grandson so well while her own son had been mistreated so badly by the nanny and her family that it had even attracted the attention of the neighbors, she passed out instantly.
Now that Winston knew his true identity, it was awkward for him to stay at the Webb residence.
However, Dantel didn’t kick him out, so Winston continued to leech off the Webb’s on the pretext of all the years they had spent as a family. He refused to acknowledge the nanny and her family and spoke tearfully of the close relationship he had built up over the years with Daniel and Janet.
He spoke at length about what he owed them for raising him and stated that he wanted to repay them by staying with them.
“This is the information about Daniel’s biological son.” Sean took a tablet from the control console and handed it over to Angeline.
Angeline’s eyes lit up when she read it. “He’s much more suitable for the investment department than Winston is.”
“We kept Winston in the company for Mr. Webb’s sake, but now you have every right to get someone new Sean sare “When Mr. Webb biological son comes back, Mr. and Mrs. Webb will be eager to make up to their son. They won’t say anything even if you fire Winston.”
“Winston has made several mistakes over the years. It’ll be easy to find an excuse
to kick him out,” Angeline replied.
The car stopped in front of a restaurant. Angeline and Sean had just gotten out when they heard someone calling out to her.
“It really is you!” Mallory clattered over on her high heels the moment she saw Angeline. Her brother, Miles, stood on the steps of the restaurant.
Perhaps it was because of the conversation he had had with Ned in the hospital room, at that moment, Miles felt rather strange when he saw Angeline. He felt too embarrassed to go and greet her.
Mallory was different. She took Angeline’s arm at once, as if nothing had happened in the past and they were still best friends who had grown up together.
