Chapter 419

---- Chapter 419 Donovan answered impatiently , "It's that foster kid of his, Gideon." "His foster son? The one with the Grayson name?" Dorothea asked. She vaguely recalled hearing that Ethan had taken in a child seven or eight years ago. At the time, she hadn't paid much attention to it. She assumed Ethan was just throwing money at sponsoring an orphan or raising a friend's child. Moreover, his story about Gideon's origin was full of inconsistencies. He claimed that the child was adopted in Usna, but in the next breath, he insisted he was from Solbourne. Dorothea never pressed further.

Not once did it cross her mind that the child might be Ethan's bastard. Ethan had covered his tracks well. He never allowed Gideon to have any contact with the Kanes and made sure that no one around him breathed a word. Even Grace had remained completely in the dark until today. Now that the truth was out, Dorothea struggled to believe it." How old is this bastard of his? Where is his mother?" she asked, clearly curious. It wasn't hard to tell that she cared about Gideon. The Kanes were already dwindling in numbers, and out of nowhere, a full ---- ~grown relative had appeared.

'There was no way she could simply ignore this. "What's the point of asking so much? He's just a bastard. What, do you want to bring him into the family?" Donovan shot back irritably before turning and heading downstairs. "Oh, Don..." Dorothea sighed, overwhelmed by the chaos and unsure of what to do. Having just learned the truth, Giselle stood rooted to the spot in shock. She had suspected Gideon to be Ethan's son, but hearing it confirmed still rattled her. Memories of their encounters flashed through her mind.

When she realized he was technically Donovan's nephew, a wave of dizziness washed over her. "Do you know this Gideon or whatever his name is?" Dorothea suddenly asked. "Yes," Giselle calmly replied. "I know him. We're pretty close. " At those words, she remembered she still had a photo of Gideon on her phone. It was from the time he'd taken her to a shooting club to show her the ropes. Vivienne , who had gone with them, casually snapped some pictures and sent them over through WhatsApp. One of the pictures happened to include Gideon.

There was nothing intimate about it, so Giselle had never bothered deleting it. ---- "This is him," she said, pulling up the photo and showing it to Dorothea. The shot wasn't very formal , and besides Giselle , two staff members were also in the frame. But Gideon's figure was clearly visible. He was standing at the side and focused on adjusting a machine gun. Dorothea pinched the screen to zoom in on his face and studied it carefully. "Hmm, he's handsome and tall. He looks exactly like Ethan when he was young, just before he started putting on weight.

How old is he?" "About 27 or 28 years old?" Giselle answered. "He's so grown already," Dorothea couldn't help sighing, then asked, "Does he have a girlfriend? Is he married yet? Where does he live?"
