Chapter 1490 Panicked In An Instant

Seeing that Amy was missing Taylor, Louis took out his phone and made a video call.

After a while, the call was connected.

Amy chatted happily with Taylor, who had spared a few minutes from her work. After hanging up the
phone, Louis took Amy to the bedroom to tuck her in.

There was a small nightlight on the bedside table, and its soft light shone on Amy's little face. Several
plush dolls adorned the bed's headboard together with some pillows. Louis had especially bought the
plush dolls for Amy.

Amy squealed upon seeing the plush dolls on the bed. She gathered them all in her little arms and
smelled the fragrance of clean cotton on them.

"Do you like them?" Louis asked.

"I like them very much. Thank you, Uncle Louis." Amy turned around with a little rabbit doll in her arms,
her eyes widening curiously. "You got all these for me?" she asked.

"Of course," Louis answered. He took a storybook out from the drawer and said, "Would you like me to
read you a bedtime story?"

Amy nodded excitedly and her beautiful face flushed with joy. Taylor was always so busy that she rarely
had the time to do such little things for her daughter. Louis was more than happy to do those little
things for Amy. Meanwhile, Amy had always wanted to listen to bedtime stories.

The two of them got along quite well, like a real father and daughter.

After coaxing Amy to sleep, Louis stepped out, stood in the corridor, fished out a cigarette, and lit it.
Amy's face, which somewhat resembled his, kept crossing his mind.



Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

Without thinking, Louis took out his mobile phone and ordered his assistant to investigate Taylor's past.
He had always wondered about this matter, so it was better to find out the truth as soon as possible.
That way, he and Taylor would not have so much to worry about.

Louis's assistant was a little confused after getting the order, but she did not dare ask more and just
went straight to do the work.

Louis did not get any reply until the next day.

He was standing in front of the French window in his study when he got the phone call from his
assistant.

He picked up his tablet and opened it. On the screen, there was the file sent by his assistant —a
detailed record of Taylor's entire life story and background.

The file had too much content and a lot of trivial information.

Louis sighed and told his assistant over the phone, "I asked you to do a background check, not to list
down every single detail of Taylor's life."

His assistant's voice sounded a little mysterious on the phone as she answered, "I've found something
about Miss Tang that may be of interest to you.

Before she was adopted, she was actually an upper class lady from a rich and powerful family.

But there are usually too many dirty things that happen in such families. Taylor was set up and publicly
ridiculed. She was set to marry the young master of a big family when the media reported that she had
already lost her virginity.



Apparently, some journalists managed to break into Taylor's room at a five-star hotel where they found
her half-naked with her clothes all over the place. There were bruises all over her body. They didn't find
a man or anybody there with her. She was caught alone.

Taylor's family put a lot of effort into trying to prevent the sensational news from spreading, but her
future in-laws had already found out about it long before they managed to plug the leak. After all, her
future in-laws were just as wealthy and powerful, and had a lot of connections.

Before Taylor could recover, her ex-fiance came to her house with his family to call off the engagement.
His words were full of dissatisfaction and malice against her.

He spoke to Taylor as if she was rubbish in a quagmire. He and his family didn't want to be associated
with Taylor ever again.

Taylor tried to explain, but her father slapped her several times and scolded her for ruining the family's
reputation.

The two families were originally of equal social rank, and neither was superior to the other. But because
of the scandal, Taylor's ex-fiance's family immediately took the high ground. They humiliated Taylor in
public and even belittled her family, calling them worthless for raising a bitch with loose virtues like
Taylor.

The wedding was ultimately called off. Taylor suffered a lot and lost everything. She was kicked out of
her own family without getting anything. At that time, she fell seriously ill.

She was homeless for a few days and then fainted one day because of exhaustion. Then, her foster
parents found her and took her in. Otherwise, she wouldn't have survived."

After explaining all that, Louis's assistant felt the atmosphere grow grave. Then, Louis spoke. "Indicate
when and where the incident happened in detail."



"Okay," his assistant replied immediately.

After a while, she sent him more concise investigation results.

After checking the time and location, Louis found that the matter might not be as simple as his assistant
thought. He frowned and said, "You go and investigate the hotel where they found her.

She must have been set up."

Louis had finally summoned a vague memory from the depths of his mind, but because it had
happened a long time ago and he had led a muddled life, he could not sort out the details.

But he still remembered that Taylor's scandal had been posted on the internet by the unscrupulous
media and deleted soon afterward.

On the other end of the line, Louis' assistant wiped cold sweat off her forehead. "I'm afraid that would
be a little difficult. It's been too long. The likelihood of finding that hotel and even being able to
investigate it is very low."

Before Louis could say anything more, his assistant quickly added, "But I'll find someone to investigate
it and find out what really happened."

Louis finally responded gently, "Thank you very much. I'll give you a holiday when this is all done."

Right after that, he turned off his phone and went to the second floor to wake Amy up. Another idea
popped in his head.

He was going to take Amy to get a paternity test.

He was resolute and decisive. As soon as he came up with this idea, he put it into action.



"Amy, are you awake?"

Although he was anxious, he did not rush in. He stood outside the door and called Amy a few times,
but there was no response. He wanted to turn around and go downstairs to clean up, but the door
suddenly opened from the inside.

Amy stood at the door with bare feet. Rubbing her eyes, she spoke in a daze. "Good morning, Uncle
Louis. What can I do for you?"

Louis panicked at the question. He should not have come to disturb Amy's sleep, but at this moment,
his selfish desire to find out the truth triumphed over his sense of shame.

He squatted down and looked at Amy's little face. He could see the sleepiness in Amy's blue eyes. "I
want to ask you for a favor. Are you willing to help me?"

Amy replied without hesitation, "Okay. Wait for me here."

As soon as she finished her words, she rushed to the bathroom in her room. Louis could not keep his
eyes from stinging upon seeing Amy being so independent.

If she was really his biological child, every move of hers would affect his whole heart. Thinking that he
might have been absent from her childhood, he felt very dejected.

But he still felt confused. What on earth had contributed to such an indescribable fate?

After Amy had freshened up and had breakfast, Louis carried her to the car. He briefly told her
everything, but Amy was smart enough to catch the point.

She blinked and asked, "Uncle Louis, do you mean that I might be your daughter?"



Amy woke up from her daze in an instant. She put her hands on her knees and stared up at Louis like
an inquisitive student.

She did not know how she should feel at the moment. She thought she should be happy, but she found
herself overwhelmed with mixed feelings at this moment.
