Chapter 1348
Sheldon managed to capture Sophie and Cameron and learned that Eleanor was still alive. He wanted
to relay the news to Bernard, but he didn’t have the clearance to access the bio-chem sector.
The bio-chem sector was beyond his jurisdiction and it didn’t concern his interests. He hadn’t placed
any spies there and now found himself in a bit of a pickle.
Through rumor mills, Sheldon had learned that Bernard was the leader of the Siren Organization. Many
puppeteers in the Ace wanted Yates to eliminate Bernard.
However, Yates had not executed Bernard but kept him locked in the bio-chem sector. Peterson had
even instructed a doctor to treat Bernard.
The excuse of extracting information about the founder of the Siren Organization from Bernard was
convincing enough for most, but not for Sheldon. He thought it would be more logical to use severe
punishment to extract information from Bernard, so why send a doctor to treat him?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was not in line with Yates’ usual practices. He was known to personally punish captured members
of the Siren Organization, let alone its leader.
Sheldon suspected that Yates had other reasons to keep Bernard alive, but he couldn’t figure out what
they might be.
While Sheldon was processing these thoughts, he received a call from Peterson, asking him to meet
Yates.
After hanging up and feeling puzzled, he left his current task and headed for A City. Using the evasion
route provided by Peterson, he sneaked into the backyard of the Sharp family mansion and made his
way to Yates study.
Yates was making coffee when Sheldon arrived. He gestured for Sheldon to sit on the couch and
poured him a cup of coffee. “I wanted to ask you something,” he said, getting straight to the point.
Sheldon took the coffee from Yates and asked, “What is it, boss?”
“We’re not in Area Opaca, so you don’t need to call me boss here,” replied Yates.
“Alright, Mr. Sharp,” Sheldon corrected himself quickly.
Yates was a commanding presence, whether in Area Opaca or in private. When conversing with him
directly, it was hard not to feel a sense of respect and fear.
Yates didn’t beat around the bush. “I saw Eleanor in a surveillance video the other day. She looks a lot
like my girlfriend,” he said.
Choking on his coffee, Sheldon exclaimed, “What?!”
Unfazed by Sheldon’s reaction, Yates continued, “I had Peterson get a hair sample from her for a DNA
test. She’s my granddaughter.” Sheldon was stunned. After a moment, he finally managed to ask,
“But… she’s my niece, how could she be your granddaughter?”
“Your sister is my daughter,” Yates said with an indifferent expression.
Sheldon was shocked and found it hard to believe. “What, my sister is your daughter?!”
Robin Spencer had told him before that Vanya was not a Pine by blood, but he never expected her to
be Yates’ daughter. He studied Yates’ look, and indeed, there were similarities in their facial features…

she sent her away to get back at me. Do you know how she ended up in your family?”
Sheldon shook his head. “I’m not sure about that. I didn’t even know she wasn’t our real daughter until
my nephew told me.”
His parents had kept this secret well, If not for Robin revealing the truth after Wendy Pine’s death,
Sheldon would still be in the dark.
Yates studied Sheldon’s eyes, seeing no signs of deception. He frowned, “Who else in your family
knows about this?”
Sheldon shook his head again. “My grandfather is dead, and so are my parents. No one else in the
family should know how Vanya came to be a part of the Pine family.”
“What about any old servants?” Yates probed further.
Sheldon thought for a moment and then brought up their old butler. “The old butler who served my
grandfather might know.”
Yates immediately ordered, “Call him.”
Sheldon replied, “He’s quite old now, and he’s suffering from dementia..
