Mrs Hale, I Surrender

Chapter 212: 212 Dramatic Change in Attitude of Junior President Payne vs Young Uncle Chapter 212: 212 Dramatic Change in Attitude of Junior President Payne vs Young Uncle The night was deep, and Assistant Law sent Junior President Payne back to his residence, which was enveloped in darkness. The windows were open, letting in chilly breezes that made him shiver with cold.

Junior President Payne’s residence didn’t feel like a home; it was cold and seemed more like a studio.

People on the outside always said the Payne Family was reclusive and aloof.

Indeed, this was the case.

Even on important holidays like Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year’s, the Payne Family rarely festooned their residence with lights and decorations; most of the time, they just gathered for a meal.

The large house, with its white walls and black tiles, hadn’t been refurbished for a while, appearing like…

A beast ready to devour.

Silently gaping with a gaping maw.

As an assistant, he didn’t dare to overtly criticize his boss’s family affairs but privately guessed that perhaps the Payne Family members lacked warmth toward each other.

Now it seemed there was probably a reason for that.

“Junior President Payne, please rest well. I have already made the arrangements, and the samples for the test will be sent out right away,” Assistant Law told him.

It was surprising that the man favored ice water, yet he poured himself some hot water.

With a faint smile on his lips.

Before he left, he added a reminder, “You are not to divulge a whisper about this to anyone in our family… and that includes my parents.”

Assistant Law nodded seriously.

If the test turned out to be a false alarm, then so be it.

But if there was indeed a blood relationship, then the entire Payne family would be turned upside down.

Zoe Bell’s surgery was scheduled for 8:30 in the morning. When Assistant Law came to pick his boss up, he found that he hadn’t slept all night and had simply taken a quick shower before heading to the hospital.
