Chapter 1072
Hiram suddenly realized he’d spilled the beans, but then he thought he never intended to keep this a secret anyway, so he told Janis the full story of Celeste’s background.
“You’re saying that the daughter Macy gave birth to years ago is still alive? And that’s Celeste?”
“Yeah,” Hiram sighed. “Can you believe how things work out sometimes? Clair had an asthma attack and Celeste saved him. Steven came over to thank her and that’s how we met Celeste. We did a DNA test and confirmed her identity. It feels like fate arranged all of this, bringing her back to me after twenty–five years.”
Janis commented, “No wonder I thought Celeste looked like Macy the first time I saw her. I was so surprised by how similar they looked… I never expected…”
She paused, then suddenly asked. “But didn’t the hospital say back then that the baby died from suffocation due to the umbilical cord being wrapped around her neck? If Celeste is alive and well, then who was the baby we buried back then? How could they have made such a mistak Mentioning this, Hiram’s expression turned cold. “The one buried should’ve been Caitlyn’s baby. But it’s been so long and Caitlyn has already passed There’s no need for further testing. As for the mix–up, Steven is still investigating. The medical staff who were there have either immigrated or disappeared. Clearly, someone is trying to cover something up. Once we find them, the truth will out.”
Janis pursed her lips and after a moment said, “Regardless, the fact that the child is alive and well is a comfort to Macy, and Uncle Han and the others can finally alleviate some of their grief.”
Hiram seemed to think of something and laughed, his eyes full of tenderness. After a while, he said, “In the end, she made the right bet. Our daughter really does take after her.”
Janis lightly clenched her fingers, then smiled and said, “Like mother, like daughter. She’s beautiful.”
The Celeste pushing incident was still escalating.
Sydney Denton had thought that Liam would definitely not sit idly by and would send someone to negotiate with her
Although her goal was to get Phoenix Fire off the air, if Liam personally came to negotiate with her, that would naturally take precedence.
After all, she had never met anyone as generous as Liam in all her years.
If Liam could find her top–tier resources like he used to, what’s a betting agreement?
But she guessed wrong. All night, there was no movement from Liam’s side.
Only the Skyline Media Group sent people over three times, but she rejected their visits on the grounds of feeling unwell.
She saw right through the Skyline Media Group They wouldn’t help her. They only sent people to get her to tweet and clear Celeste’s name. Sydney knew in her heart that once she’d taken this step, there was no turning back. If she did clear things up, after the storm passed, the company might reduce her workload or sideline her completely. So now, she could only stick to her guns, completely smear Celeste, and bring Phoenix Fire down. That was her only way out.
At seven in the morning, an interview with Sydney began to circulate online.
