Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1259

Therefore, Adrian's cheating had to remain completely in the shadows, far away from Lacey's radar. Alternatively, usurping Lacey and taking over the Mercer Group might just be Fiona's personal delusion.

Regardless of the reality, Ethan couldn't afford to give his enemies any openings.

Especially with Shane Porter lurking in the background like a predator waiting to strike.

"Why?"

Julian asked, clearly confused.

Ethan weighed his options before deciding to reveal the truth. "Because I have leverage over them."

"What leverage?"

Julian's eyes widened. In his mind, their father had always been a towering, honorable figure.

"Fiona is Adrian's mistress, and Mara is their biological daughter."

Ethan dropped the bombshell.

"What! How is that even possible? How do you know this?"

Julian's eyes widened again.

"I caught them hooking up at the office. After that, I secretly took Mara's hair and ran a paternity test against Adrian, Fiona, and Mom."

Ethan was lying, of course. His knowledge came entirely from the memories of his past life.

But if he didn't fabricate a tangible explanation, dense Julian would never believe him. Rebirth was far too absurd of a concept to grasp.

"I... This..."

Julian was tongue-tied, completely unable to process the information. Ethan didn't rush him, giving him the time he needed to digest the shock.

Once the initial disbelief faded, Julian voiced the glaring question. "If Mara isn't Mom's daughter, then what happened to the baby Mom actually gave birth to?

Did she die? Or was she swapped and sent somewhere else?

If she died, was it natural, or was she murdered? And if she was swapped, where the hell is our real sister now?"

Julian might have been impulsive, but he was far from stupid.
