[ At Sparks Mansion… ]
After talking to Jane, Nathan summoned the Sparks family guards including the elite members of the Syphiruz Mafia to find Ethan all over the city– every corner and spot must be meticulously searched.
He articulated the urgency of the situation, declaring the search for Ethan as a top-priority mission, a task that demanded immediate attention and relentless effort. Every corner of the city was to be meticulously combed
"This is our top priority. We must locate my son as swiftly as possible," Nathan declared firmly, his voice resonating with a blend of authority and desperation. His eyes conveyed a steely resolve, a father's determination to bring his child home safe and sound.
"I will reward you greatly!" he added, promising substantial rewards to whoever succeeded in finding his missing son.
With a sense of urgency and a clear directive, the guards and elite members of the Syphiruz Mafia mobilized swiftly, dispersing throughout the city like a network of vigilant sentinels.
As the weight of Ethan's disappearance pressed heavily upon him, a profound realization struck Nathan with unwavering clarity. Regardless of any biological connections, Nathan recognized the immense depth of love and care he held for Ethan, a sentiment that extended far beyond mere familial bonds.
'Ethan is my son. I will fight for him,' Nathan declared to himself. He cherished Ethan deeply, his heart aching with a paternal instinct to protect, nurture, and ensure the safety of the young boy who had nestled his way into his heart.
lightsn?v?l "Master," Butler Li's voice snapped Nathan out of his deep thought. He lifted his head, meeting the butler's gaze.
"Chairman Xu called, asking why you were not answering his call. He wanted me to remind you that tonight will be the big event… the 50th anniversary celebration of the SYP Twilight Corporation. He is asking you to report to the office today for the final preparation for tonight's event." Butler Li gulped hard, feeling anxious. Nathan was giving him a cold sharp glare.
Nathan was not in the mood to deal with the company's operation and the anniversary event. His top priority was to find his son.
"Just tell him I'm busy. I will just see him in the event… tonight. By the way, don't let the old man know that his grandson has gone missing." Nathan didn't want his father to be troubled by Ethan's disappearance. He would tell him what happened after tonight's event. For now, he wanted his father to focus on the anniversary celebration of the company.
"Got it, Master." Butler Li obediently responded.
Nathan was about to dismiss Butler Li when the distinct sound of the intercom resounded inside his study room. It looked like the guard wanted to pass a message to Nathan.
"Sir, Miss Helena Carlsen is here, demanding your presence," the guard's voice was heard. Both Nathan and Butler Li gazed at the intercom.
With a dark expression on his face, Nathan pressed the microphone button and responded to the guard, "Don't. Let. Her. In." Nathan commanded in his stern cold voice.
"Sir… We have a problem. She brought police officers with her," The guard anxiously said.
Butler Li gasped when he heard that. He looked at Nathan, his eyes seemed to ask his master what was going on. Why did Helena Carlsen bring law enforcement to the Sparks Mansion?
Nathan pursed his lips, his brows knitted in a deep frown of annoyance. He just waved his hand, motioning for Butler Li to escort the unwanted visitors inside the mansion.
Understanding his master's command, the butler immediately proceeded to the entrance gate.
A few seconds later, the entrance gate swung open, revealing Butler Li, a portrait of composure, though a flicker of concern crossed his features as he greeted the law enforcement officers.
"May I assist you, officers?" he inquired, masking his worries with a calm demeanor.
The sergeant stepped forward, authoritative and resolute. "We are here to apprehend Mr. Nathan Sparks on charges of assaulting Miss Helena Carlsen. We have a warrant for his arrest," he announced, his voice carrying a steely resolve.
Butler Li's expression tightened, a fleeting moment of disbelief crossing his face. He hesitated for a second, then composed himself, stepping aside to allow the officers entry. "Please come in," he gestured, guiding them through the mansion's hallways.
As Helena and the officers advanced through the mansion's corridors, the atmosphere shifted, tension crackling in the air. Nathan emerged, composed but visibly angered, his eyes meeting the determined gaze of the officers and seeing Helena's mocking smile.
Helena moved closer to Nathan and whispered provokingly, "Mr. Sparks, if you don't want to rot in jail, you should beg me. Ask for my forgiveness and obey me."
Helena waved her phone which contained the video of Nathan strangling her at the Rosemary Restaurant. "Congratulations! We became viral on the internet," she added, letting out a sarcastic giggle.
Nathan remained composed and unfazed. He decided to cooperate with the police officers, knowing the legal implications of the situation. The officers moved forward, their duty unyielding as they approached Nathan, preparing to carry out the arrest.
The entire Sparks Mansion was put in chaos upon witnessing their master getting arrested.

[ Back to Hiroshi's Villa… ]
"The results match." Those simple words reverberated in Jane's ears, sending shockwaves through her entire being. They were like a sledgehammer, shattering her world into irreparable fragments.
A feeling of helplessness engulfed her as her heart, burdened with worry and sorrow for Nathan and Ethan, seemed to ache physically, the pain cutting through her like a relentless blade. Every fiber of her being felt drained as if an unseen force had emptied away her strength.
"Where is the document? I need to see it," Jane's voice quivered with desperation, each word tinged with a sense of urgency and a quest for tangible evidence to comprehend the gravity of the situation.
Abigail didn't waste any more time as she retrieved the document inside her room. She placed it in her bedside drawer.
"Jane, are you okay?" Dave tried to assist her. He sensed her paleness and she didn't look good.
"I'm fine," Jane lied.
After a few minutes, Abigail returned to the living room, holding the DNA test result. She handed it over to her sister. Jane's trembling hands reached out, grabbing the papers. She immediately turned the pages to the last part where she could see the result.
Upon viewing the result, her eyes widened in surprise. A myriad of conflicting emotions danced across her face, casting a shadow of confusion and turmoil upon her features.
'What the hell is this?' Jane pondered to herself, her eyes fixated on the paper.
Clueless of what was happening, Abigail and Dave exchanged glances with one another before shifting their gaze back to Jane.
"Sis, do you know what this DNA test result is all about?" Abigail asked Jane curiously.
Jane was so immersed in reading the result over and over again that Abigail's words failed to register in her mind.
"Oh God! I need to see Nathan!" Jane blurted out. "Sis, thank you for this. I'll talk to you later. I have to go!"
Jane dashed out of the mansion, heading to her car. The hint of sorrow and sadness in her eyes had long gone. It was replaced by a spark of hope.
With a gentle curve, Jane's lips formed a warm smile, a glimmer of relief and curiosity lighting up her expression. Clutching the document tightly in her hands, she couldn't contain the rush of emotions that swept over her.
"The DNA results match," she murmured softly, the words carrying both astonishment and a hint of bewilderment. "But it doesn't indicate a direct paternal connection... Instead, it suggests an uncle and nephew relation." The revelation stirred a blend of emotions within Jane.
Though she hated the fact that Monica was Ethan's biological mother, she was happy to know that there was still a big possibility that Nathan was Ethan's biological father. There was no way Stephen would fake the result. No one could intervene because she conducted this DNA test in secret. Even Vincent and Monica couldn't possibly anticipate this.
She sensed Monica's malicious intent. Once again, Monica aimed to deceive Nathan with her lies, attempting to persuade him that Ethan was not his son. Moreover, this DNA result raised a potential scenario. If Nathan indeed turned out to be Ethan's biological father, it could suggest a deeper connection—Nathan and Vincent might be blood relatives, perhaps even siblings.
This was the only explanation she could think of as to why Vincent's DNA matched Ethan's DNA with a certain percentage.
