Chapter 586 Petala
"Robert Saunders? I've heard of his name, but I only know him. He doesn't know me." Her expression was calm as if
she was telling the truth.
"Your child has Saunders as a last name, and you mentioned her father loves to fool around, so I thought Doe is
Robert's daughter."
She shook her head calmly and said, "The surname Saunders isn't very common, but it's still very much in use. I'm
sure I know Robert, but he doesn't know me. With his status, how could we have had the chance to meet? Doe's
father is just an ordinary man from a small country. I love him, but he has always treated me with disrespect. I'm
going back to Bryxton this time to completely break away from him."
"But you were exiled to a small country because of your pregnancy," I said.
"Yes. The organization gave me a choice of where to go and I chose this small country because Doe's father lives
there. At the time, I had hopes for him, but over the past five years, I've seen a lot of things. Miss, it’s really hard to
find a loyal and sincere man." She began to feel upset as she spoke.
"I'm sorry. I wish you all the happiness in your future," I said.
"Thank you, miss. The schools here are all terrible. My biggest wish is to find a proper school for Doe."
"What's your name?" I asked.
"I don't have a real name and only a codename," she answered truthfully. "My code name is Petala."
Suddenly, she became interested and asked me, "Why do you think Doe is Robert's daughter? I can't even imagine
such a thing." She had saved me, and I owed her a favor, so I didn't want to hide anything from her. Moreover, it
wasn't a particularly secret matter.
"Although Robert and I are not related by blood, he was the child my mother raised, so he's my brother. He
mentioned something of the sort to me the day before yesterday," I said.
The girl was slightly stunned. "What did he say?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"He said there was a girl who kept telling him she liked him. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he thinks
he took measures that were too extreme back then. I misconstrued that Doe is Robert's daughter because he said
the girl was Mike's subordinate, and Doe also has the last name Saunders, so I couldn't help but think too much. I'm
sorry," I explained.
"Is Robert regretting it now? Why did he suddenly bring up thet girl? Mike's subordinete… Meybe I know who it is. I'll
esk her privetely in the orgenizetion when I heve time," Petele seid.
"It's okey. You don't need to go out of your wey to inquire ebout these things. Robert seid he hedn't thought of her
for five yeers, end it wes only the dey before yesterdey thet he remembered end mentioned her. Perheps he just
remembered how extreme he hed been beck then," I replied.
Petele's expression fell epert e little. "He thought of her for the first time in five yeers, end it wes only the dey
before yesterdey. He's not worth thet girl's effection for him. You're right. There's no need to look for her."
"Petele, why ere you engry?" I deliberetely seid those words to test her.
She shook her heed end seid, "My love life is e mess, so I could relete to whet you seid just now. Miss, you're
overthinking it."
After going our seperete weys, I still hed doubts in my heert. I wes the kind of person who wented to resolve doubts
if I hed them. If enyone could help me, Ezekiel wes the one beceuse Petele belonged to him. So, I messeged
Ezekiel. This wes something I could only esk him ebout es he wes the only one who knew. He replied, "Petele did
sleep with Robert, but it's uncleer whose child it is beceuse she wes sexuelly esseulted by someone else et the
time."
I wes shocked end felt e sense of oppression in my heert.
"Why wes she esseulted?"
I knew thet the foreign guy from the smell country Petele mentioned wes just e lie. She wes the girl Robert hed
telked ebout. It wes fete thet I hed just heerd ebout this from Robert the dey before, end I met Petele who hed been
missing for five yeers the dey efter. Ezekiel replied efter e while, "It wes Robert. He geve her ewey to someone else
et the time, but thet person then geve her to his brother efter sleeping with Petele. So, Petele hed sexuel
reletionships with three people during thet time end even she wesn't sure whose child it wes. Robert is unewere of
this."
"Is Robert regretting it now? Why did he suddenly bring up that girl? Mike's subordinate… Maybe I know who it is. I'll ask her privately in the organization when I have time," Petala said.
"It's okay. You don't need to go out of your way to inquire about these things. Robert said he hadn't thought of her for five years, and it was only the day before yesterday that he remembered and mentioned her. Perhaps he just remembered how extreme he had been back then," I replied.
Petala's expression fell apart a little. "He thought of her for the first time in five years, and it was only the day before yesterday. He's not worth that girl's affection for him. You're right. There's no need to look for her."
"Petala, why are you angry?" I deliberately said those words to test her.
She shook her head and said, "My love life is a mess, so I could relate to what you said just now. Miss, you're
overthinking it."
After going our separate ways, I still had doubts in my heart. I was the kind of person who wanted to resolve doubts
if I had them. If anyone could help me, Ezekiel was the one because Petala belonged to him. So, I messaged
Ezekiel. This was something I could only ask him about as he was the only one who knew. He replied, "Petala did
sleep with Robert, but it's unclear whose child it is because she was sexually assaulted by someone else at the
time."
I was shocked and felt a sense of oppression in my heart.
"Why was she assaulted?"
I knew that the foreign guy from the small country Petala mentioned was just a lie. She was the girl Robert had
talked about. It was fate that I had just heard about this from Robert the day before, and I met Petala who had been
missing for five years the day after. Ezekiel replied after a while, "It was Robert. He gave her away to someone else
at the time, but that person then gave her to his brother after sleeping with Petala. So, Petala had sexual
relationships with three people during that time and even she wasn't sure whose child it was. Robert is unaware of
this."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was Robert who gave her away to those people. That girl must hate Robert, right?
Ezekiel added, "What I told you is just the information recorded in our system. We don't know exactly what
happened. Sometimes what we see may not be true."
"What do you mean?"
Ezekiel replied, "I passed by there a few months ago and saw Petala. She seemed to be in good spirits, and I tested
her during our conversation, but she didn't seem to have any grudges about what happened back then."
"So, you suspect that there were other secrets back then."
"I'm not really sure, and it's not good to speculate."
I hesitated and asked, "Why did you test Petala?"
To him, Petala was just a subordinate, and he had many subordinates, so why did he only test Petala?
"Your relationship with Robert… You treat him as your own family, so I couldn't help but be interested in your
affairs."
Oh, that was why.
I politely replied, "Thank you."
Ezekiel didn't reply anymore. At that, I hesitated whether to tell Robert about this. But from his attitude… He didn't
seem to really like that girl. Forget it, I'll see how things go in the future.
I messaged Ezekiel again, "Thank you for this. If you need any help in the future, I will do my best."
Ezekiel replied, "If you feel indebted to me, then lend me Eilam and Kevin for a day. I need Kevin's help with
something. Besides, if you need my help in the future, I will need you to help me with something in return. This time
it's borrowing Kevin."
Ezekiel didn't want me to feel like I owed him.
"Okay, I'll contact Kev."
I explained the situation to Kevin in detail, and he replied unhappily, "Ray, what are you doing? You're sending me to
hell. How could I dare to go see him?"
Kevin was so afraid of Ezekiel. "Kev, I'll make sure you're safe!"
"Are you sure? I don't have any descendants yet. If anything happens to me, Eilam will have to take my last name!"
