Chapter 857  The Last Mission: The Truth

Day Ninety…

Nathan was shaken by this shocking revelation. He never thought that Phantomflake was Ethan's biological mother. He was having a hard time accepting this.

"This doesn't make sense at all. When did we–" Nathan couldn't complete his sentence as he eyed her with disbelief.

Stephen was also asking the same thing in his mind. He knew that his best friend wouldn't touch a woman without her consent. How did they end up conceiving Ethan?

"Am I Ethan's father?" Nathan began questioning his connection with Ethan. He had been fed with so many lies. But he could no longer ask Monica since she was gone.

Jane took a deep sigh. "Of course. You are Ethan's father. Don't ever doubt your relationship with our son."

After saying that, Jane approached Butler Li.

"You have to tell them the truth. I will give you a chance to confess with them."

Butler Li remained silent. He was reluctant to tell the truth.

"Why did you do this, Butler Li? We've trusted you like a real family. I didn't expect that you were a spy," Old Man Xu expressed his disappointment and frustration toward Butler Li. Butler Li had been serving the Sparks Family for a long time. Why did he become a spy?

Butler Li remained tight-lipped, lowering his gaze as he couldn't look straight into their eyes.

At this moment, Jane knew that she needed to intervene to clarify things for Nathan.

"Nate, I already told you that I'm Shining Star. Monica had stolen my identity with the help of Butler Li. She used our friendship to get closer to you while pretending to be me."

"And these deceptions are all orchestrated by Vincent… your half-brother." Jane turned to Old Man Xu. "Chairman Xu, you know him. Vincent is your son. You accidentally impregnated his mother. And you refused to accept him before. Because of that, Vincent resented you and your family. He wanted revenge… that's why he is doing this to Nathan."

Butler Li and Old Man Xu were surprised that Jane knew that story from the past.

"How did you know that?" Butler Li finally reacted, asking Jane.

"I can't answer that." Jane simply responded, not disclosing any information on how she learned that story. 'I can't tell them I came from the future. And I return to the past. They will think I'm crazy.' she thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Nathan was receiving one shock after another. Aside from being Ethan's biological mother, Jane was also claiming that she was Shining Star, his virtual friend— the one he had fallen in love with.

"Then what about the woman you killed? If Monica is still alive, then who is the person in the morgue? How do you explain her DNA matching Veronica and Ethan?" Nathan demanded, pressing for an explanation as he tried to connect the dots.

"Let me tell you this, Nate. Among your branch leaders, there is one person who is indebted to Vincent… and that person is Joker. Was he the one who handled the DNA test between Monica and Veronica for you?"

Nathan fell silent when he heard that.

"If your answer is yes, then I can assure you that Joker faked the results," Jane added confidently. "Joker is Vincent's second spy."

"I can attest to that. I already detained Joker in the headquarters. And he confessed right away." Old Man Xu informed Nathan, supporting Jane's words.

Nathan clenched his fists, veins bulging with anger. He had been betrayed by the people he trusted, and now he didn't know whom to trust anymore.

"Enough! I heard enough!" Nathan yelled through his gritted teeth. "Get out! All of you! I want to be alone!"

Everyone was not able to utter a word when they sensed Nathan's fury. In the end, the four of them left the study room, giving Nathan some privacy. They could understand if he was still having a hard time accepting the truth.

"Butler Li, come with me. We need to talk." Old Man Xu summoned Butler Li, gesturing to him to follow him.

Jane and Stephen were left alone in the hallway.

"Stephen, I know you have a lot of questions as well. Let's go to the garden. We can talk there." Jane grabbed his hand, leading him to the garden area.

Stephen didn't know where to start. He hadn't seen her for a long time. He was happy to be reunited with Jane. However, the revelation about Nathan and Ethan kept bothering him.

"Jane, are you okay?" Stephen asked her worriedly.

Jane nodded, giving him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Stephen. I'm fine. I don't want you to overthink. Nathan is not the person who gave me a traumatic experience before. The real culprits are Vincent and Monica."

Jane cleared Nathan's name in front of Stephen.

"Nathan was also a victim of their deceptions. They stole everything from me– my identity, my friendship with Nathan, and my son. I came back to reclaim what's mine… including Nathan."

"Nathan was also a victim of their deceptions. They stole everything from me– my identity, my friendship with Nathan, and my son. I came back to reclaim what's mine… including Nathan."

Stephen felt conflicted when he heard that. His heart suddenly sank when Jane mentioned his best friend.

"Do you like Nathan?" Stephen asked her seriously.

"To tell you honestly, I don't simply like him. I love Nathan… with all my heart. I want to pursue him and complete my family– Nathan, Ethan, and me." Jane was being honest with Stephen. This was the least she could do for him.

'Then I guess… I don't have a chance anymore.' Stephen thought to himself. He hadn't confessed to her yet. But here she was, telling him that she was in love with his best friend, Nathan.

"I'll support you, Jane. Always remember that I am just here… as your good friend." Stephen easily accepted the truth, respecting Jane's feelings for Nathan. What he could offer to Jane right now was their friendship.

"Thank you, Steph. I owe you a lot." After saying that, Jane closed their gaps, wrapping her arms around him as she gave him a friendly hug. Stephen also hugged her back, holding her tightly. The two of them were unaware that someone was watching from the second floor. Nathan stood by the large window of his study, his gaze fixed on the garden. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he observed the sweet interaction between Jane and Stephen. For some unknown reason, he felt utterly annoyed and irritated, seeing their closeness. Was he getting jealous?
