Chapter 3
Right after that, a group of bodyguards marched over and tossed Wyatt out like he was trash.
“Dad, what do you mean?” Wyatt looked at his father, Brice Boone, in disbelief.
“Don’t call me that,” Brice spat, his anger boiling over. Just thinking about his real son’s body left to rot while this imposter enjoyed a life of luxury made his blood boil. “Listen up, you’re not my son. Get out of here”
Brice thought to himself. “No wonder Wyatt’s been so dumb and always getting into trouble. Turns out he’s never fit in with us. Turns out he really isn’t my son
Done with the conversation, he motioned for the bodyguards to shut Wyatt up and throw him farther away.
Brice stormed back into the room, saw Wyatt’s phone on the coffee table, and was about to throw it out when he picked it up and saw Amanda’s face. He froze for a moment, looking a little surprised. “Manda?”
“Hi there, Mr. Boone.” Amanda waved at him. “Want to know where your son is? Just become my fan, and I’ll definitely help
you
find him.
Brice thought in confusion, “Has she lost her mind?‘
Unfortunately, his son was already dead, and he wasn’t in the mood for games.
Just as he was about to hang up, Amanda spoke again, “Mr. Boone, remember when the kidnappers dumped your son in the mountains and said wolves took him? Well, actually someone passed by and took him home. He’s 15 now. Are you sure you don’t want to meet him?”
Ai those words, Brice’s heart skipped a beat. He blurted out, “How do you know?”
His son had been kidnapped, and it was true the kidnappers dumped him in the mountains, even claiming wolves had eaten him. That was what the kidnappers had said.
Brice had never told anyone about this, so how could Amanda know?
With a mysterious look, Amanda started counting on her fingers while muttering. “I figured it out.”
Then she added. “You’ve met him before, and he’s not far from you. You even know each other. Are you u sure you don’t want to reunite with your real son?”
Brice’s heart thudded in his chest, and he instantly asked. “Who is he?”
Amanda didn’t answer right away. She rubbed her fingers together and said, just 300 dollars, I can tell you who your son is.” She paused for a second and then changed her tone. “Actually, it can make me your family member as well. Are you
interested?”
“Fine Brice didn’t hesitate. He nodded and paid on the platform.
Amanda raised three fingers, starting her countdown. “Three, two, one. Turn around and look at the door. The person who walks in is your real son.”
Her casual tone made Brice’s heart sink, and he started doubting himself. I really let a little girl fool me! That’s ridiculous.
Not just Brice, but even the viewers in the live stream were thinking the same, and they left their comments.
Viewer A: [No way, this is total nonsense. She thinks she can just bring in some random person and call him the man’s son?]
Viewer B: [Yeah, Amanda’s really lost it.]
Viewer C: [So cruel, getting people’s hopes up only to crush them.
Viewer D: JAmanda should just die.Į
They were all trashing Amanda when suddenly, a cold voice came from behind. “Mr. Boone, nice to see you.”
Brice turned around and saw a thin figure standing there. It was a teenager about 15, wearing faded clothes, looking pale from malnutrition. He was clearly from a poor family.
Chapter 3
But he wasn’t the least bit shy. He stood up straight and looked Brice in the eye, asking, “Is Wyatt here? I came to give him a
Tutor.
“He” Brice froze, staring at the boy’s face for a long time. After a moment, he saw something in the boy’s features that resembled both him and his wife.
A thought struck Brice like lightning. He turned to Amanda, unable to believe what he saw.
Amanda nodded and said, “Mr. Boone, this is your son.”
Brice turned to look at Jarrett Atkinson again. He was known as the top student, hailing from a poor mountain village. Bric had even gone to his house personally to convince him to come to their school.
The moment Brice laid eyes on Jarrett, he felt a sense of familiarity. Moreover, Jarrett’s village was quite close to the spot where the kidnappers had claimed to have dumped his son.
At this thought, Brice couldn’t help but take a sharp breath and strode forward. “My boy.
He couldn’t believe the boy to really be his son.
Jarrett also heard Amanda’s earlier words. He didn’t know what was going on, so he just stared at them blankly.
“Let’s go. We’re getting a paternity test,” Brice said, grabbing Jarrett and marching toward the exit.
After taking a few steps. Brice suddenly remembered something and turned to Amanda. “Manda, thank you so much today.”
Amanda waved him off and replied, “No problem, we’re like family now”
Just as Brice was about to hang up, he noticed a bunch of comments claiming it was all a staged act
Viewer A: [This must be fake. No way it’s that coincidental.]
Viewer B: [Seriously, you should find a better actor. They clearly know each other.]
Viewer C: [Actually, I think it’s real. Mr. Boone is the principal of Silvermoor High School, and I’m a student there. He’s the most upstanding guy, so he wouldn’t be part of a scam.]
Silvermoor High School was one of the top schools in the country, with the highest number of students getting into QS’s top ten universities every year.
If Brice wasn’t part of a scam, then Amanda’s words must be true. The viewers were still struggling to believe it.
Brice was also surprised, but Amanda indeed predicted it
Looking at the comments cursing her, Brice felt irritated. Suddenly, he made a decision and said, “Alright, I’m not hanging up. I’ll keep the stream going, so everyone can see we’re not acting
He glanced at the screen with a pointed look.
Amanda gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, “Jesus, you’re indeed my family.”
She thought Brice really helped her big time.
Amanda’s exaggerated tone even made Brice chuckle. He shook his head helplessly, pulled the dazed Jarrett, and walked out. Once in the car, Brice finally explained everything to Jarret.
After hearing the whole story, Jarrett looked a little strange. After a brief hesitation, he said, “I’m indeed not my parents’s biological son
Jarrett just found out the truth not long ago. He had planned to drop out of school and work to support his sick parents. His foster parents didn’t want him to do that, so they told him the truth to stop him from giving up his education for them.
Brice became even more excited upon h hearing the news. He had a feeling that Jarrett was his son
Eager for results, Brice, normally a rule follower, used his connections for the first time and asked an old friend at the hospital for help to expedite the test.
2/3
While waiting for the results, the live stream comment section was full of sarcastic comments. Amanda, however, wasn’t in a hurry. She withdrew the money she had just earned and bought a large pizza and some fruit, making the viewers in the chat hungry and frustrated.
No one expected Amanda to eat so much.
Half an hour later, the test results came in, and the viewers finally got a break from watching Amanda eating.
The test results indicated that the probability of paternity was greater than 99.9999%, confirming Brice as the biological father of Jarrett.
When Brice learned Jarrett was his son, he was overwhelmed with emotion. Tears streamed down his face, and he even pointed the camera at the test results for everyone to see.
Viewer A: [Oh my, she really got it!]
Viewer B: [No way, this has to be fake, right?)
Viewer C: [Do you think you could hire the principal of Silvermoor High School to make a show?]
Everyone knew that getting a renowned principal like Brice to fake a show was impossible, so they started believing Amanda’s
words.
At that moment, the elf’s voice sounded in Amanda’s head. “Gained someone’s affection. Your reward is ten more days of life.”
Amanda raised her eyebrows and thought, ‘Maddox is indeed an idiot. Looks like I have to handle things myself.
