Chapter 602
When Gregory arrived at the Sinclair residence, the entire Sinclair family was already gathered.
Eleanor looked at Gregory with smug satisfaction. This time, she was finally going to erase the mistake she had made all those years ago.
She should have gotten rid of this ingrate long ago.
“What did you want to see me about, Gregory asked calmly.
“You’ve got some nerve calling ine
Lennox’s once–kind expression was now replaced by cold contempt.
He turned to Eleanor. “Tell this bastard the truth about where he cone from.”
“Yes, Lennox.”
Smiling, Eleanor pulled out a DNA test report and announced, “This here is a DNA test between Gregory and Holden. As you can see, he’s not part of this family at all!”
A wave of shock rippled through the room.
“What? How could that be?”
“No wonder he never looked a thing like Holden! Turns out they’re not related!”
“That means he’s got no right to be the head of the Sinclair family! He should give up the seal of the family head right now!”
“Yeah! He needs to give it back! That seal can’t stay in the hands of an outsider!”
Amid the chorus of outrage, Eleanor motioned for Thomas to step forward and announced, “This is my real son with Holden. Lennox himself has recognized him as the future head of the Sinclair family!”
All eyes turned to Thomas.
Basking in the attention, he raised his chin and
smug glance at Gregory, as if to say, “I finally beat you this time.”
“Gregory, hand over the seal now, or don’t blame us for what happens next,” Eleanor said, pointing at him.
Gregory let out a soft chuckle and looked at her calmly. “Oh? And what exactly would you do if I refused?”
As if on cue, the sound of heavy boots echoed down the corridor. Moments later, a team of bodyguards, along with armed SWAT officers, surrounded the entire private chapel.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone exchanged glances.
“Why are there police here?”
Gregory said, “I think it’s best if someone you all respect explained the real story.”
His gaze swept across the room, then landed on Lennox. “You worked with the Watsons and the Harringtons to embezzle government funds out of pure greed. You cut corners by forcing the Castanea Suburban Bridge project to finish early.
“The result? A shoddy structure that collapsed in an instant. Then you threatened Adam with his family to make him take the fall. Even the Harringtons‘ bankruptcy was just collateral damage from your infighting over the spoils!”
The moment Eleanor heard about the Harringtons‘ bankruptcy, she froze, and her eyes widened.
‘Aunt Eleanor!” Theo rushed over and pointed straight at Lennox. He’s the one who ruined our family! And you’ve been helping this piece of trash all along!”
Eleanor stared hard at Lennox. Her chest seized with a sharp stab of pain, and her fingertips trembled. It felt like cold steel

beads were rolling across her chest, each one cutting through her heart
“Was it really you?” she asked.
Lennox didn’t answer, but the faint, mocking smile on his face made it clear he was sneering at her foolishness.
For years, Eleanor had done his dirty work. She had even married Holden–the man who once violated her and bore him a child, all to restore her family’s former glory by leeching off the Sinclair name.
Yet she never imagined that the real mastermind had been right in front of her all along. And she had been nothing more than a pawn at his mercy, used and controlled at will.
Eleanor’s eyes were rimmed with a furiotis red so intense it looked like they might bleed. She turned to Thomas, but he stood at a distance, like even he was disgusted by how foolish she had beet
“Karma’s a bitch, huh?”
Natalie stood in the attic, looking down at Eleanor’s near–breakdown with a mocking smile.
“Your mom’s falling apart, and you’re up here smiling?” Anathea scoffed coldly.
“Shut the hell up!” Natalie snapped. She glanced at Anathea, who was being held at knifepoint by Michael. “You’re in my hands now. Say one more word, and I’ll cut off your fingers!”
Anathea went quiet. Her gaze was fixed on Gregory down below.

“So what if you’ve found proof?” Lennox looked straight at Gregory. “If you take me down, you’re just helping someone else
rise.”
If Lennox were out of the picture, Thomas would become the rightful heir and head of the Sinclair family, “That does nothing for you, does it?”
“You’re really despicable!” Theo snapped.
Even he could tell that the shameless Lennox was threatening Gregory. He wanted to drag Gregory down so that the latter would have no choice but to keep serving as his weapon in order to hold on to the family head’s position.
But Gregory just let out a soft chuckle. “The rule that the head of the Sinclair family must be a Sinclair by blood is fair enough. But who says I have to be Holden’s son to count as one?”
Lennox’s face twitched.
Everyone else in the room looked stunned. Their eyes were fixed on Gregory. In that moment, it suddenly hit them that Gregory and Lennox were the ones who looked the most alike.
Thomas froze. “Wait… Don’t tell me…”
“I wish I didn’t have to admit it, but…” Gregory pulled out a second DNA test report. This one was between him and Lennox.
The results showed a combined paternity index of over ten thousand and a probability of paternity higher than 99.96%.
Lennox was Gregory’s biological father!
The entire Sinclair family looked like their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Everyone was in disbelief.
Even Lennox was in total shock. When the hell did he have a son this young?
“You don’t remember?” Gregory’s eyes turned icy. “Let me help you.”
He then tossed a stack of photos onto the ground in front of Lennox. Every single one was evidence of Lennox drugging and violating female students back in the day.
Gregory’s mother was one of them.
And among all the victims, she was the one who suffered the most. Her pain went deeper than anyone could imagine.
Gregory had been born carrying every ounce of her hatred for Lennox in his blood.
“You probably don’t even remember, do you? After all, there were so many female students you violated back then, you lost
count.”
