The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife-Chapter 246: Natasha

Even before she answered the question, Ashley Zuresh could already foresee the confusion that would envelope everyone in that room when she opened her mouth. Therefore, she was not surprised when she confused gazes descended on her from all sides.

"Can you take the baby girl out to have fun? She looks like she would rather be in any other place but here," she said, tilting her chin towards Esther.

Ruthlyn got her hint and turned to Hazel. "Could you take Esther to the main floor to eat, please? I’ll call you when we’re done here," she requested.

Hazel gave a slight nod and stood up, taking Esther’s hand as she led her outside.

When she was sure they had gone far, Ashley continued,

"I guess you all know Natalia Anderson had an humble start in life. We met in middle school which she, and not Natasha, attended. I knew everything about her because she was my best friend but I doubt she told her family about me. Because of the high fees, our school was meant for the third tier families in the country so Natalia was only able to get in with a scholarship. Her parents, they would always ask her to ask our classmates for favors and when she refused, she was always verbally abused for not considering the family."

"This is new," Raymond muttered, his hand hovering over the save recording button on the screen of his phone which was under the table. "So how is it that Mrs Natasha doesn’t recognize you then? Or...this whole thing is just confusing," he sighed.

Ashley shook her head, "It isn’t that confusing to me. All this looks like what Natasha can do. Let me explain to you guys."

She continued, "On behalf of her family, Natalia actually asked favors from our friends so many times that they began to avoid her. I guess she didn’t want to lose me too so she didn’t ask me for anything, ever. Most times when she gets emotional, she tells me a lot about her family and Natasha, her twin. Once, we both visited her father’s laundromat and I was able to see every member of her family. They looked alike so I think they do have strong genes. It’s very apparent with Shikera and Elizabeth too."

"Sorry to interrupt but was seeing Natasha once all it took to know she was the one today?" Ruthlyn cut in. She so badly wanted to confirm that Elizabeth was the fake daughter so all this stuff about the Jordans would be cleared.

"It wasn’t just once. She attended the same college as I and Natalia so I saw her many more times and was able to make comparisons between the both of them. I guess she doesn’t recognize me because Natalia protected me real well then. Not many people knew we were friends," Ashley answered.

"So if that’s Natasha and not Natalia, then it means the Elizabeth with her is her own daughter and not Chairman Anderson’s. How come Raymond made a mistake when he was carrying out a background check on them? What did he miss?" Ruthlyn wondered.

Enoch added,"And why did Natasha show up now with her daughter? What’s the reason they are doing all this?"

"Isn’t that obvious? To take the real daughter out and swap her our with the fake. It’s because of the wealth if I may guess," Ruthlyn replied him. "Another pressing question is why Shikera’s DNA didn’t match her father’s. The doctor we used was ours, a very trusted one who would not just go against the DeLoachs for nothing."

"I would say the most pressing matter here is finding Shikera first of all. Then you try to get the reason why Natasha is here. Unlimited access to wealth can’t be the only reason she is here, not when she knows she will be up against all members of the Mega families if she gets caught," Team leader Zuresh chimed in.

At her words, the other three in the room shared desolate glances. Instinctively, they all knew this matter was not as simple as it looked.

"So...who’s going to answer me?"

Ethan’s dark gaze moved from one person to another, before finally settling on Jordan, who was sitting across the table from him. He just asked them if any of them had seen his wife but they were all looking at him like he was speaking a language they could not understand.

"You...Vincent, you are married? Don’t tell me your wife sleeps with you on the couch?!" Victor was almost yelling, before an hard grip clamped down on his thigh, stopping him from talking any further.

Everyone in the room expected Ethan to be angry, like he had always been in the past whenever Victor taunted him with his preference of the couch to the bed.

Words could not describe how shocked they were when a small smile bloomed on his lips, "Yeah, she does. Her hair fanning my chest is the best feeling you can ever imagine. Let’s stop here. Who will answer my question?"

"Who is your wife?" Jordan asked, his cold voice almost as creepy as Ethan’s own.

"Shikera And—Well, let’s say Eleanor Jordan, since that was her name when you adopted her," Ethan replied. The past day had been filled with him asking both Jordan and Vincent questions about that Eleanor Jordan of the past, and with all he had gathered, he could tell they were talking about Shikera Anderson.

"What do you want with her?" Jordan asked again, "Since you all up there now know she’s not an Anderson, haven’t you discarded her? Though she was your wife, I know you have no use for her anymore so why did you come here for her sake?"

Ethan shrugged,"Very obvious answer to that. Because she is my wife, and you? Why do I feel concern for my wife exuding from your words?"

"She is Mt daughter," Jordan replied, his lips pulling up at the sides.

The smile on his face was sad though, contradicting the frown on Ethan’s face.
