Chapter 670 Confirming With Kaleb: Elise Was Margaret
Not just Sebastian, even Ryan and Martin appeared befuddled, unable to grasp the true nature of the situation.
"How could Margaret be our aunt? Riley, don't joke! When Aunt left, I was still young, but I also knew her name was Elise."
Riley said, "You didn't remember wrong. Our aunt's name is indeed Elise! Margaret is her later name."
Sebastian was even more confused. "Later name?"
Riley explained slowly, "I remember that day when we were doing homework. Aunt suddenly came back very happy to tell us that she was called Margaret.
"She liked a man named Kaleb!
"Aunt had a long-time crush on Uncle, so when Uncle finally noticed her and asked for her name, Aunt told him her name was Margaret."
Sebastian was confused.
Oh my god.
Was the uncle's surname Taylor?
Wasn't Kaleb also a Taylor by surname?
This...
This...
Was this a coincidence?
Margaret turned out to be his aunt.
Kaleb turned out to be his uncle.
Patricia wasn't pretending to be his daughter. She really was his daughter.
Riley continued, "Aunt only mentioned this name to us once at that time, then she left, completely left the Koch family, and we never saw her again. You were still young at that time. It's normal not to remember."
Sebastian pursed his lips, wanting to speak, but hesitated.
He wanted to tell Riley that he found Uncle.
But Sebastian couldn't tell Riley about Patricia's current situation.
Otherwise, with Riley's love for Patricia, he would definitely drop everything and come over.
It was enough for Sebastian to be here.
It wouldn't help if everyone came over.
Besides, he now knew that Kaleb was Patricia's biological father.
"Riley, can you take a photo of the picture on Shane's desk for me? I need it!"
As clever as Riley, how could he not notice that something was wrong?
"What's the matter after all?" Riley asked.
"Really nothing!" Sebastian still denied it.
Riley frowned and lowered his voice. "Sebastian, don't try to deceive me! You know, you can't deceive me."
These two had been brothers for decades.
The number of times Riley had ever used a heavy tone with Sebastian could be counted on one hand.
This generally meant that the other party was starting to get angry.
Even though Sebastian was the most powerful lawyer in the world, he still respected and feared Riley from his core.
And if Riley started to suspect, a little investigation would make everything clear.
It was better to avoid trouble and go back before Riley found out that something happened to Patricia.
"Ahem... uh... I'm on business in Country D. I met someone. He said his wife's name was Margaret. I feel this name is familiar, so I wanted to ask you."
Riley raised an eyebrow. "Could it just be a coincidence?"
Sebastian said, "That's why I asked you to take a photo of the picture on Shane's desk and send it to me!"
A big fire had burned Margaret's things clean.
Only this one group photo remained.
Sebastian hoped he was right.
If Patricia really was Kaleb's daughter, then Patricia was saved.
The doubt was resolved, and Riley seemed to believe his words, agreeing, "I'll take the photo for you after work tonight."
Sebastian couldn't wait. "Now! I'm in a hurry!"
Riley was surprised. "Why the rush?"
Sebastian casually made up a reason. "I'm having dinner with Kaleb right now. It's best to deal with it now!"
Riley paused for a moment, then agreed. "Okay! I'll have my assistant take the photo and send it to you now."
Sebastian forced himself to stay calm. "Good! Hurry up, I'm waiting for you!"
Before hanging up, Riley still asked with concern, "Apart from this, really nothing else?"
Sebastian hurriedly denied, "No, really nothing! If I can find Patricia's biological father this time, do you think she will like me more than she likes you guys?"
Riley rolled his eyes. "Childish! Get it straight; don't make Patricia happy for nothing."
Sebastian nodded. "You don't trust me to handle things!"
"Hmm! Call me if you have any difficulties."
"Okay!"
After the call, Ryan and Martin, who had been listening to the whole conversation on the side, were already impatient.
Ryan asked eagerly, "Is Patricia really Kaleb's daughter?"
Sebastian said, "I'm not sure. I hope so! If she is, then Patricia is saved."
Martin was puzzled. "Isn't Patricia's mother named Elise? Why is she also called Margaret?"
Sebastian explained Riley's explanation to them.
Ryan sighed. "Indeed, that seems to be the case."
Sebastian and Martin ignored him. Sebastian said, "Riley asked the assistant to go back and take a photo; let's wait patiently! When the photo comes, we'll take it to find Kaleb!"
His title came with Martin.
Martin clasped his hands against his chin, his hands sweaty with nervousness. "I hope so!"
Ryan exclaimed, "Such good luck. At this critical moment, it turns out that Patricia is Kaleb's daughter. If she really is his daughter, Kaleb will definitely not stand idly by. With his help, Patricia will be fine."
Sebastian and Martin remained silent.
Quietly praying in their hearts, hoping not to be disappointed.
The waiting time seemed particularly long.
It felt like the seconds were ringing in their ears.
Even Sebastian, who was usually calm, couldn't help but frequently check his phone.
Having litigated numerous cases, Sebastian had navigated each trial with ease, exuding confidence. However, he had never experienced such a profound sense of unease before.
Even in the big lawsuit that made Sebastian famous, he remained calm, stable, and performed brilliantly.
But tonight, he couldn't remember how many times he had checked his phone.
Just as he picked up his phone again to check, the phone made a "ding" sound, indicating a message had arrived.
The message was from Riley.
Sebastian eagerly opened the message.
Riley only sent a photo without saying anything.
In the photo, a girl who looked like she was in her teens was intimately holding her father's hand, leaning her head on her father's shoulder, and smiling very happily.
Although there were some differences from her adult appearance, the facial features were still recognizable at a glance.
Sebastian put away the photo and decisively said, "Let's go. Let's go find Kaleb."
Ryan immediately stood up. "I know where he lives, and the security there knows me. They won't stop me; I'll take you there."
Martin also stood up. "Let's go!"
Sebastian knew Martin was worried about Patricia. Although he was concerned about his physical condition, he did not stop Martin.
The three of them went to the parking lot to get the car and drove to Kaleb's house in the villa area.
