He inherited Mr. Lopez’s physique and facial features, small eyes, and small nose, but a large mouth.
Just one look and you’d know he is Mr. Lopez’s child.
However, Sheldon Rowland was unaware.
According to what Morgan Clarke said, Cindy Clarke was set up by family members.
If that person were truly Cindy Clarke, then it makes sense.
Wendy Clarke originally wasn’t planning to make her move personally, she negotiated with Mr. Lopez to drug Cindy Clarke and send her to Mr. Lopez’s room.
Who would have known that an issue with the room card switch would end up having her go to Mr. Lopez’s room instead.
Mr. Lopez definitely won’t be pleased if the planned scheme didn’t happen.
Fearing that staying there would only result in further harm to her by her family members, Cindy Clarke fled to Belfard.
Mr. Lopez naturally went to look for Wendy Clarke since he couldn’t find Cindy Clarke.
For some reason, Adrian Zhekova felt more and more that the person that night was Cindy Clarke.
There was absolutely no way it would be Wendy Clarke.
Of course, all of these suspicions are predicated on the fact that the person that night was indeed Cindy Clarke.
And that Mr. Lopez’s son was indeed born of Wendy Clarke.
Adrian Zhekova took out a transparent storage bag from his drawer. Inside was the strand of hair he had plucked off from Morgan Clarke’s collar the previous day.
“Perform a paternity test with this, along with my hair,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“Yes.” Sheldon Rowland carefully put these items away, “Master Adrian, is this Morgan’s hair?”
Seeing Adrian remaining silent, Sheldon dared to ask again, “Do you also feel that Morgan looks a lot like you?”
Adrian gave him a glance devoid of any facial expressions, Sheldon Rowland immediately fell silent and heard Adrian say, “Send it straight away. Leave these files here for me to read.”
“Alright.” Sheldon Rowland quickly left for the identification center.
Adrian Zhekova picked up Cindy Clarke’s file again.
Looking at the hard times Cindy Clarke had in Belfard initially, and how she had now risen to become a famous food blogger, tirelessly raising Morgan Clarke on her own.
At her most difficult times, she never thought of abandoning her child.
The house they are currently living in was bought on mortgage by Cindy Clarke, and her current income is more than able to cover it.
Being able to afford such a large house in Belfard is not something the average person can do.
Obviously, she doesn’t need to be a gold digger, or attach herself to anyone for money.
She is successful in her own right.
Looking at Cindy Clarke’s current accomplishments, Adrian Zhekova unwittingly curled his lips into a smile.
When Cindy Clarke returned home, she received an order for lunch.
The lunch menu she offered today included asparagus steak with an onion mushroom sauce.
The asparagus tips were trimmed for uniform length and fried until golden brown without oil in a skillet. They were then neatly arranged in the food container.
The steak was grilled to medium-well, then cut into strips and placed over the asparagus.
She diced the onion and made a paste out of the button mushrooms.
The onions were fried continuously in a skillet until the sugar content was released, which made the onion turn into a caramel-colored paste. The mushroom paste was then added and stir-fried together.
Today it wasn’t just the customers from Pingla Group; there were also a few from nearby. Thankfully, the locations happened to be on-route.
Interestingly, all of the customers were female.
All looking to lose weight.
Therefore, Cindy Clarke didn’t add butter or cream to the sauce.
Instead, she added a little red wine, poured in beef bone broth, fennel, bay leaf, radish, and apple puree, then slowly simmered over low heat until the sauce thickened a bit. She placed this in a separate disposable small box, allowing the customer to choose based on their own taste.
After that, she tossed a small portion of vegetable salad, with olive oil substituted for the salad dressing, and added some fruit in another separate compartment.
Finally, she sliced a boiled egg and placed it on top.
The sight of it alone was mouthwatering..
