Chapter 785
Maja was a kickass boss and a trustworthy friend.
Zoey handed her a sample containing two strands of hair.
After taking the sample, Maja passed it on to Phelps at the hospital.
She expressed her hope to get the results ASAP
Phelps rubbed his forehead and said, “Sure thing, I’ll get my colleagues to start the testing right away.”
Phelps had been performing surgeries in the hospital lately. Thanks to his mad skills, many patients chose this hospital and specifically demanded him as their surgeon. He barely had a minute to breathe. Still, he was aware of the latest gossip.
He looked at Maja as if he wanted to say something, but then he zipped his lips.
With Phelps‘ help, the results came out in two hours.
Seeing the results, Zoey felt like she was struck by lightning.
The results showed that they were father and son.
Murray did have a son, and the kid had been around for seven years.

But how old was Murray seven years ago? He had just celebrated his 18th birthday!
Maja didn’t need to see the report; she knew the result just by looking at Zoey’s face. The report slipped from Zoey’s hands, and she almost collapsed onto the floor.
“Zoey!”
Maja quickly stepped forward to steady her, and Phelps rushed over to help.
Zoey’s mind went blank. She couldn’t think straight at the moment.
She was guided into a room.
The doctor explained, “She’s just had a panic attack and low blood sugar and she’ll be fine after some rest.”
Maja stood by the bed, her heart aching for Zoey.
Seven years of love, but it was all built on lies from the start.
No one could bear such a blow, especially when Murray was the man she planned to spend her life with.
“Zoey, what are you planning to do?”
Sitting on the bed, Zoey managed a weak smile at the question.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, thank you for being here today. I had a feeling before seeing the results, because I trust you and I know you’re sharp. I used to think Murray didn’t want his brother to bother me because he truly loved me; I never thought that kid would be his son.”
Even his family helped him hide it from the beginning.
Her voice was choked with tears, but the tears just swirled in her eyes and didn’t fall.
Maja stayed cool and held her hand tightly.
“Pull yourself together; what’s your next move?”
“I really can’t bear to let him go.” Zoey was so feeble and helpless.
But who can just let go of seven years of love?
Women were emotional creatures. She used to think women who were cheated on in love were foolish.
But when she found herself in the same situation, she couldn’t let go either.
“Even though he has a child, even though he betrayed you? He spent the night at Evelyn’s last night; you should know what they did.”
That was the last straw for Zoey; she was speechless under the weight of it all.
”
If it was just a child, she could even choose to forgive. She could work hard and make money; raising a child wouldn’t be a problem.
But Murray didn’t love her, that was a hurdle she couldn’t overcome.
“I’ll call off the engagement, break up with him, and move out.”
She lowered her head, leaning back against the cold wall.
“Ms Pennyfeather, thank you. Please leave me alone for a while.”
Maja nodded and left without hesitation.
As the door closed, she heard the crying from inside.
Maja was also a bit heartbroken; this kind of thing resonated more with women.
But Zoey had to get through this to start a new life.
She went back to the office, gathered herself, and started preparing the contract with Elvis.
But then her phone rang. It was Jeff.
As soon as she answered, she heard lan’s voice.
“Get me off the blacklist, Maja. I made you four billion last night.”
