The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 608 Revealing The Test Results

Meanwhile, in his office at the hospital, Felix was staring at the investigative reports of him abusing his power and

accepting kickbacks on a grand scale. There was also evidence of him forging the DNA test, which nearly caused

him a heart attack.

Ever since he accepted Nicole's money and agreed to conspire with her, he had been restless.

To his dismay, he was still found out.

Felix was baffled. Who could have possessed such an extraordinary ability to uncover everything, even down to the

smallest detail?

He gazed dejectedly at the man before him, who appeared to be in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and

was proving to be incredibly astute despite his genteel appearance. “Who the h*ll are you? What do you want?” he

cried in utter despair.

Xavier stared at Felix. His voice was cold and detached. “Who I am is not important. What matters is that I want you

to expose Nicole's plot at the Lambert family's recognition banquet tomorrow. Tell everybody that she fabricated

Evangeline's DNA test result.”

Felix gave an involuntary shudder at the thought of the video in Nicole's possession that had as leverage against

him. “Nicole has evidence that could implicate me, Mr. Dartsley. You have no idea how cunning that woman is. If I

hadn't agreed to her demand to falsify the test results, she would have accused me of assault. She even recorded a

video. If I did as you say, she might release the footage in a fit of desperation. If that happens, my career will be—”

Xavier raised his hand and interrupted Felix impassively, “Don't worry about Nicole. I'll take care of her. As long as

you do as I say, I promise you'll be safe and sound, and you can keep being the illustrious Dr. Sollo when you get it

done. I assure you that your position will not be affected in any way. But if you don't, consider yourself warned. I'm

sure you can imagine what will happen to you once these documents are submitted. By the way, I might as well

inform you that the person behind this investigation is Mr. Cayden Moore. The actual daughter of the Lambert

family is his wife, which is all you need to know for now. You have two choices. Choose wisely, Felix.”

After his speech, Xavier cast a meaningful glance at Felix, then took his leave.

He knew that Felix was shrewd to have ascended to his current position and that he would understand better than

most about choosing what was best for himself.

Felix slumped, defeated, into his chair after Xavier left. For a long time, he was unable to move.

Both of them have me by the balls. It doesn't matter who I throw under the bus, I'll end up ruined either way.

If he chose to betray Nicole, there might still be a chance to make amends, perhaps with Cayden's help.

But if he went against Cayden, however, he might as well forget about any chance of turning his life around.

Gritting his teeth, Felix quickly formulated a plan in his mind.

When Sunday rolled around, the Lambert residence was found to be bustling with joy from having their bloodline

found and returned. Everybody in the Lambert family was in high spirits; they were already awake before the break

of dawn.

Nicole was awakened early that morning by the noise. Dressed in her pajamas, she pulled back the curtains and

peered downstairs from her room on the upper floor.

The living room was bustling with activity, filled with a number of relatives who had come to visit.

All of them were there for the true daughter of the Lambert family.

Nicole was frustrated.

She cannot recall a time when the Lambert residence was this lively. Even on the day she was adopted and brought

home, her foster parents only had a small party with the Lambert family members.

The fact that they were going to such lengths to appease a phony person like Evangeline did not sit well with her.

Nicole was livid, but there was nothing she could do as she had brought it all upon herself.

Utterly gloomy, Nicole headed downstairs in her pajamas and slippers.

Claire frowned in disapproval when she saw Nicole descending the stairs in her pajamas. “How could you come

down dressed like this, Nickie? Go back upstairs at once and put on something decent! How inappropriate of you to

appear like this in front of everybody!”

Nicole bit her lip but did not return to her room. “Mom, I think it's good enough for us to have a simple dinner with

Evangeline and the extended family at home. There's really no need to expose a man of Dad's status at a hotel just

for a reunion banquet. It's too extravagant and bound to invite gossip.”

Not noticing the grievance in Nicole's eyes, Claire flapped a hand at her daughter. “Your sister has been lost out

there for over twenty years, leading a life full of hardships. Her finally coming home today warrants a grand

celebration. Go back upstairs and sleep in with Evangeline, Nickie. The stylist will come to do your makeup later. I'll

call you when it's time.”

Feeling defeated, Nicole trudged back up the stairs.

She headed toward Evangeline's room, unlocked the door with the key, and went straight in. Then, she yanked the

blanket off and exclaimed, “Look at the time! Yet, you're still sound asleep like a dead pig!”

Evangeline was immersed in the joy of reconciling with her kin the night before and did not fall asleep until the early

hours of the morning. As a result, she had been sound asleep.

Nicole's rough gesture startled Evangeline awake. She opened her eyes at once and glared at the former. “Have

you forgotten everything we talked about? We agreed to stay out of each other's way, Nicole. What's your

problem? Who gave you permission to unlock my door and come in?”

Filled with resentment, Nicole sat down on the couch strewn with stuffed toys. “Relax,” she said, “I just came to

wake you up.”

“Get out. I want to get dressed,” said Evangeline, her tone heavy with morning grumpiness.

Nicole remained seated on the sofa. Her voice was dripping with sarcasm. “I never thought that Mom would love

you so much to get up so early this morning. It's been a while since the Lambert family had been this lively. I can't

imagine how silly they'll look once they find out their so-called daughter is an imposter. Would they regret it, or

would they be heartbroken?”

Evangeline cut across sharply, “Even if it ends up that way, you were the one who started this mess! Aren't you

filled with regret and jealousy now, Nicole? Regretting that you brought me back to the Lambert family? Are you

jealous of the affection our parents have for me? Do you wish to destroy everything I now have? Don't forget,

everything I have is all thanks to you. We're in the same boat now, I advise you not to do anything foolish, or else...”

Nicole's expression grew increasingly unpleasant. Just as she was about to throw a tantrum, she heard the

housekeeper knocking urgently on the door. “Please get dressed quickly, Ms. Evangeline, Ms. Nicole. The stylist has

arrived.”

Nicole clenched her fist. “Got it,” she responded irritably. “I'm coming down.”

Evangeline felt an unusual sense of satisfaction as she watched Nicole simmering in frustrated and helpless anger.

After today, I will officially become the legitimate young heiress of the Lambert family. I hope the reconciliation will

go smoothly.
