Chapter 613


    Since Marguerite was already there, they decided to go ahead with the paternity test.


    For the past three years, he had had his fair share of dealings with the cunning Lockwood family. Even Frederick, clever as he


    was, had been duped by them more than a dozen times!


    So instead of just proving that Yuna wasn’t the Fitzgerald heiress, it made more sense to confirm Marguerite’s identity as well, to


    make things crystal clear.


    The Ablett couple was beside themselves with worry. Zoe immediately told Ablett to find a way to get in touch with someone at


    the hospital, to see if there was a way out of this mess.


    But Robert knew what Frederick was trying to do. Before Ablett could even pull out his phone, Robert''s calm butmanding


    voice filled the room, “I want to witness the blood being drawn this time, and | will personally wait for the test results.”


    As if on cue, a female doctor with a transparent basket stepped out of theb, “Is everyone here? Pleasee in. Per Mr.


    Winston''s orders, everyone must surrender their cell phones before entering. Kindly ce your phones in this basket in an


    orderly fashion.”


    This statement left Ablett and Yuna dumbfounded.


    Usually, during a paternity test, the subjects just had their blood drawn at a window and waited. Nobody knew what happened


    inside theb. Ablett and Zoe had exploited this fact to manipte previous paternity tests.


    But now, everyone had to enter theb, where every move the doctor made would be under the watchful eyes of Frederick and


    Robert. Even if they could manage to call Hammond, it wouldn’t make any difference now. They were doomed!


    Hackett was furious, nearly standing up to point an using finger at Robert, “You''ll be apologizing to your sister soon enough!”


    Despite his outburst, when he saw Penelope cing her phone in the basket and entering theb, he had no choice but to follow


    his wife’s lead.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    When Frederick had initially brought Marguerite forward, his hand rested on her shoulder, and it remained there, warm and


    reassuring. Marguerite couldn''t help but nce up at him.


    Meeting his intense gaze, a surge of urgency rose within her. She was desperate to ask why he was so eager to help prove her


    identity. But deep down, she didn’t have the courage to voice the question. She feared that without an answer, disappointment


    would inevitably follow. Life was hard enough without the added weight of letdowns.


    Soon, they all entered theb and donned protective gear, scattering throughout the spacious room.


    The doctor took out two syringes, turned to Marguerite and Yuna, and asked, “I’m the only one here, so we can’t proceed with


    both at the same time. Who will have their blood drawn first?”


    Yuna seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move or speak. It didn’t matter who went first anymore. No matter whose blood was


    drawn, the oue spelled doom for her.


    Seeing Yuna’s reluctance, Marguerite stepped forward. The results could only be good for her, so the order didn’t matter to her.


    But before she could speak, Robert''s arm blocked her path, “Yuna first.”


    He wasn’t about to give the Lockwoods any chance to prepare.


    Better to settle the matter swiftly better an end with terror than terror without end.


    Yuna’s face was the very picture of misery. She seethed with silent rage but was powerless to resist.


    With death inevitable either way, she had no choice but to ept her fate.


    Hackett, equally reluctant, rolled up


    his sleeve with a scowl so dark it


    seemed to swallow the light,


    especially when he looked at Robert,


    his eyes aze with barely


    suppressed fury. Visit

    Robert, however, seemed unaffected


    by the animosity, a picture of


    righteousness as he watched the


    proceedings with detached resolve.

    Perhaps because of the imposing presence of Robert and Frederick, the process was expedited.


    Within ten minutes of the blood being drawn, the doctor had the results ready.
