Chapter 221 How Do You Know I Haven't Given Birth Before?
Mr. Evelyn Sr's face instantly turned pale.
Stella beside him didn't look too good either.
After a while, Morris wiped away a tear. "Jasper, what do you mean by that?
"Why would I harm my own biological daughter?"
Jasper's eyes were faint. "I didn't say anything, I just want to know, since Evelyn had met and talked with you before she jumped off the building.
"Did you, as her father, notice her emotional fluctuations?
"Or is it that you never paid attention to her emotions at all?"
The man's words made Morris's face even uglier.
"What do you mean?"
"My point is." Jasper smirked. "Luna has poor emotional resilience, and Morris didn't pay attention to her emotions.
"Luna's last person to see before jumping off the building was Morris, so the only person who could have stopped her from committing suicide was you.
"Don't blame others."
The man smiled distantly. "That's all I have to say.
"We're here to mourn the deceased, not to argue."
With that said, to the shocked gazes of everyone, the man turned and led Adeline away.
Morris gritted his teeth tightly as he watched the two individuals leaving.
No wonder Stella considered Adeline her number one opponent.
Jasper's protection of her was too obvious.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Stella not far away.
The woman subtly shook her head at him, then smiled and walked up. "Morris, don't be angry with Jasper, he's also trying to protect the employees of the Foster Group..."
Jasper led Adeline directly out of the memorial service and got into the car.
Closing the car door, the man sat indifferently in the back seat, his brows furrowed.
"I'm sorry."
Adeline shifted her body toward the car door. "Such a big person suddenly gone, I was just shocked, so I came to pay my respects.
"I didn't expect..."
Before Adeline could finish her sentence, Jasper interrupted in a low voice, "It's not your fault.
"Luna's death is not that simple."
Adeline paused, subconsciously looking up at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I just said, Evelyn called me before she died.
"She said she had something important to tell me.
"But before she could finish, Morris interrupted.
"Then the call was cut off, I thought the father and daughter were acting, trying to keep Luna in Seacity and not let her go abroad.
"But I didn't expect..." The man narrowed his eyes slightly. "The Evelyn's family is hiding something from us.
"I specifically mentioned the phone call in front of Morris just now. If Evelyn's death has nothing to do with that call, he wouldn't have avoided the topic."
Adeline was too stunned to speak.
After a while, she turned her head to look out the car window. "Maybe you're overthinking it?
"No one would kill their own daughter with their own hands, no matter what mistake she made, parents wouldn't bear to harm their own flesh and blood."
Perhaps Adeline didn't understand the feelings of parents toward their children before, but after giving birth to Blake Bennett and Lauren, she was sure that there were no parents in the world who would be so cruel.
Jasper looked at her and sneered, "You haven't given birth to children, how do you know if others would harm their own children?"
Adeline frowned, almost instinctively retorting, "How do you know I haven't given birth?
"I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly realized her current identity.
So, the woman coughed lightly, tilting her head aside. "I indeed haven't given birth."
Her reaction made Jasper look at her with suspicion for a long time.
After a while, the man coldly smirked. "There is actually another possibility."
"What?"
"This Luna may not be the real Luna."
"After all, the Luna who died may just be a puppet, the real Luna is someone else.
"Because this time, the Luna I saw is very different from the Luna I've known for years."
Not only in appearance, but also in personality.
The previous Luna saw Adeline as a thorn in her side, full of resentment and hatred every time she saw Adeline.
However, this time, Luna became friends with Stella.
She even became a better friend than Adeline's former best friend, Linda.
Adeline frowned. "If the one who died isn't the real Luna, then where is the real Luna? Why would she hide?"
Jasper's brow furrowed at her question.
After a while, the man glanced at Adeline with a furrowed brow. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly.
"However, bringing you here, there is something more important for you to do."
Adeline steadied herself and turned to look at him. "What?"
The man threw a file to her side.
"The Foster Group's database has been destroyed by a foreign hacker attack.
"Brandon's Torres Group took advantage of this, putting the Foster Group in a difficult position."
Adeline paused, picked up the document and flipped through it.
It was a risk assessment report.
Although she didn't understand the methods of hacking databases and Brandon's attacks on the Foster Group, the numbers of losses on the report truly shocked her.
Adeline was having trouble holding the document in her hands.
"I deduce that the hacker is the one who has been helping you before."
Adeline's face turned pale, it was Blake who did it.
"Brandon seized the most critical moment and dealt a huge blow to the Foster Group."
Adeline's hand trembled, Brandon always listened to Bennett.
She massaged her temples. "Do you believe me if I say I was unaware of both of these things?"
"Now you are aware."
The man glanced at her indifferently. "I'm giving you a chance to make them stop now.
"Otherwise, when I return to Dawnvale tomorrow, they won't be the ones celebrating.
"I have that power."
However, now that he was not in charge of the Foster Group, there were many issues he couldn't handle directly, which gave them an opportunity.
Adeline rubbed her temples.
At this point, it seemed impossible to say that these things had nothing to do with her.
She sighed, "I understand."
She had been busy with business trips to Seacity these days and had forgotten to contact the three little ones.
These three kids, taking advantage of her inattention, caused such a big commotion.
"Sebastian told Blake that you were wronged, so we took action."
Back at the hotel, the first thing Adeline did was call Bennett.
Bennett on the other end of the phone was self-righteous. "Since Jasper took you out, he should take care of you.
"As a result, you encountered so many dangers and almost lost your life, we must teach him a lesson."
Adeline rubbed her temples. "Make Brandon stop."
Although the Torres Group and Jasper's Foster Group had always been in opposition, due to their size, they usually only had minor conflicts.
Even in a large-scale confrontation, even if Brandon had the upper hand, it wouldn't be without casualties.
Brandon had already done a lot for her, and she didn't want Brandon to affect the Torres Group's business because of her.
"Brandon won't listen."
Bennett pursed his lips. "Mommy, do you remember Molly?
"After Molly went abroad, I asked Brandon to help teach her a lesson.
"Guess what Brandon found out?
"He found out that Molly was being protected by a master.
"All those protecting Molly are members of the Foster family!"
