The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 324 - Possibilities

The call that she expected, never came.

She knew that this wasn't really something to celebrate but she was really happy that she didn't receive any calls from her father or mother or even Grant. She turned off her phone and looked at the sparkling cityscape from her condo unit.

It was already ten in the evening. She would wait until tomorrow for her father's call. After that she would use Jane to help her search for her birth parents. Right now, her options weren't really a lot. She knew that her father was on only son. But the fact that she looked like him cannot be denied.

So, there are a few possibilities. First, it's either, this was all but a coincidence. She looked like him because of some rotten luck. Second, she was the daughter of his brother or sister that was hidden by his family for some unknown reasons and third… she was the daughter of her grandfather— her father's father. Meaning, she was her father's sister.

The third option was really horrible but it could be possible. After all, some people would keep an illegitimate daughter a secret— especially her father's family. That might be the reason why the mere sight of her seemed to repulsed her father.

Anyway, these are still possibilities. She needed all the resources she could get to discover her real parents.

When the call from her father didn't came the next day. She went to see Grant. This time, her goal was simple. A way to find his DNA. No, she needed to confirm if she was her aunt or just not someone family. She needed this so she could start somewhere.

When she arrived in Grant's own apartment, she was surprised to see him asleep on his table. It was already eleven in the morning. She tried to ring the doorbell but ended up using the code that he gave her for his house. According to him only two people knew about his code. Its only Grant and her. This was the first thing that he said when he got this house.

At that time, she thought it was weird that he gave her his code. Then she realized that Grant just wanted her to visit. Her brother always wanted to get close to her but she was doing her best to push him away. She was always like this since she was younger.

Now, she was thankful that she never had any solid relationship with Grant. After all, she was not really his sister. After a few seconds of observing Grant, she went to his bathroom and found his brush. Luckily, she was able to find a few strands of his hair, enough for a DNA test.

She gathered her sample before cooking a quick meal for the man. At twelve, she left a note telling Grant to see her and that to eat the food that she made.

She wasn't really good at cooking. She meant… Lily… wasn't really good at cooking. But Sienna was.

Sienna left their house at a young age. So, she quickly learned how to cook a lot of stuff. Her cooking wasn't particularly delicious either. However, it was edible.

After leaving, she immediately asked Jane to process the DNA and told her to keep it a secret.

Meanwhile, she busied herself with the information that she received about Scarlette's past deeds.

She was able to confirm that Scarlette really had a space— not that big though. In the world of reincarnators, a person with space can be very dangerous. When Grant went to see her, she immediately told her about Scarlette.

"She wanted to talk to me, in private."

"Scarlette?" His beautiful brows furrowed. "Why?"

"She said she had something important for me."

He didn't say anything.

"So, I asked my people to look into her." She handed him a folder. "Honestly, I didn't want to tell you that she wanted to talk to me. I thought maybe she wanted a job? Maybe, she had something important about our competitors. After all, she was your friend. I trust that you would at least… know the people that you are with."

She watched as Grant started reading the documents. He was sitting opposite her; his usually calm face was contorted into a scowl. It seems that he knew something about Scarlette? "Do you know about this?"

For a few minutes, he didn't say anything before he nodded. "I knew she was scheming."

"But you still decided to get close to her? Grant… a woman's heart can be very dangerous."

He nodded. "I am staying away from her for a reason."

"You are not close with her?"

"No. But my friends liked her."

"So… they take her everywhere."

And this man didn't think too much about it. Maybe Scarlette didn't make it too obvious? Scarlette was indeed a smart woman. First, she decided to separate him from his future wife. Then, she tried to get close to him and when she failed, she targeted his friends.

She hid herself well from other people.

However, the male lead already knew she was scheming. Most male leads are like that. They are very cunning and hated scheming people— except the female lead.

"She did all these things?"

"It cannot be explained. But all of them suffered because they did something to her. Of course, she was only defending herself, she was only fighting back. Even I would not blame her for ruining their lives. I would do the same if they tried to do those things against me."

"I will keep these in mind."

"I am only telling you this because of the results."

"Would you mind telling me why she wanted to talk to you?"

"I can't promise you that." She smiled. "But I will do my best." This would depend on Scarlette and the information that she has. "Ah before I forget, I want you to come with me at C University. Two days from now."

"C University?"

"Yes, I wanted to look around for new talents.. And I wanted to start with C University."
