Chapter 883
It wasn't that Gabriel hadn't suspected this before, but the matter got played down afterward; it eventually became
forgotten as nobody mentioned it. "W-What do you mean?" he asked.
Raising his chin, Colton said, "I heard from a former servant at the Anderson Residence today that Nicole had been
swapped in the hospital when she was a baby. Also, her birth parents were surnamed Wrenn." Despite his impassive
tone of voice, his ink-black eyes were fixed steadily on Gabriel.
Gabriel was startled for a moment, and his lips parted. He asked, "You mean Nicole is my biological sister?"
"There's no proof of it yet. If we can get our hands on your mom and Nicole's DNA samples, we can do a paternity
test, by which time we'll know the results," Colton suggested.
"Are you asking me to get my parents' hair samples?" Gabriel asked.

Colton nodded. "That's right."
All of a sudden, Gabriel jumped to his feet. He said after a while, "Let me think about this."
Colton wasn't at all surprised to see that Gabriel didn't agree to it immediately. He replied impassively with a half-
hearted smile, "I know you've developed a familial bond with Evelyn over so many years. Still, you've got to think
about this: Nicole has never done anything wrong, yet she suffered so much because of that person's selfishness.
Isn't it only right and proper that your family should make it up to her?" Then, seeing there was still a hint of
indecision on the man's face, he simply stood up and continued, "Whether you're willing to do it or not, the facts will
never change. What you need to do now is to get to the bottom of this."
At this very moment, Gabriel only felt that his mind was in turmoil. He had long prepared himself to a certain
degree for such a thing, but now that the fact was laid bare before him, he was kind of at a loss for what choice to
make.
Seeing that he was silent, Colton didn't keep pushing him either. He let out a chuckle and said slowly, "Just take your

time to think about it. The Wrenns are beholden to her, after all." With that, he turned around and left right away,
leaving Gabriel alone.
After Colton had left, Gabriel sat in his seat for a long time before slowly collecting himself. Then, a wry smile played
on his lips. Well, what's coming will come. Even if I don't help Colton with this, he'll always find another way around
it. And besides, if Nicole really is the Wrenn Family's daughter, we will have to make up for what we've owed her
over these years, anyway.
A wave of powerlessness washed over him as he thought about this. He had met Nicole in person before, and she
was indeed a nice woman. Despite the environment that she was raised in, she had nonetheless grown up to be a
courageous and capable woman.

When Nicole returned home, she had weariness written all over her face. She found a random corner and sat
huddled in there. At this very moment, her mind was in a whirl, and she didn't know what to do.
Now that Betty had gotten much better after receiving medical treatment, what she said was almost no different
from what she had previously suspected. So, I really am the Wrenn Family's daughter? I only became a member of
the Anderson Family because of Mom's selfishness.
Feeling enveloped by an overwhelming sense of helplessness, she curled up in bed rather helplessly with her head
in her hands. After what seemed like an eternity, a large hand suddenly reached over and placed itself right on her
forehead.
She opened her eyes in a daze. The man before her was dressed in a black suit, and his hair was immaculately
styled. The somewhat dizzying light over her head blurred her eyes a little. At first, she thought it was Colton, but
after taking a closer look, she realized that it was actually Zachary.
"Zachary? What's the matter?" she asked in a confused voice. Zachary was dressed so differently today than usual,
which surprised her.
