Chapter 1020


    Chapter 1020


    I’ve had this kid for ten days now, and he seems to have taken a liking to me. He doesn’t cry as long as


    I’m holding him. We’ve even given him a fancy name – Hawthorne”


    At the sight of this name, Cornelia’s heart raced. Turned out, her dad was the kid her grandma


    adopted!


    This meant that all these years. Granny Reba’s affection for this kid, who had no blood ties with her,


    actually surpassed her love for her own child


    Wait a minute, something was not right


    Cornelia quickly realized something was off. If her father wasn’t her grandma’s biological child, then


    why did the DNA test between her sister Tahlia and her grandma confirm they were blood–rted?


    Which piece of info was real? Which one was a sham?


    Cornelia couldn’t figure it out, so she shot Marcus a text, “Jeremy, when we did the DNA test for Tahlia


    and my grandma, could someone have tampered with the results?”


    Instead of replying, Marcus quickly showed up at Granny Reba’s room, “What’s up?”


    Comelia handed him Granny Reba’s notebook, “Take a look.”


    Marcus skimmed through it and got the gist, “So your dad isn’t your grandma’s biological child? So you


    suspect the DNA test results between your grandma and Tahlia may have been tampered with?”


    Cornelia said. “My grandma couldn’t have faked a diary decades ago, and she had no motive to do so.


    If my grandma is not my dad’s biological mother, and Tahlia is my biological sister, and their DNA test


    shows they’re rted, then it’s likely that something’s been tampered with.”


    Marcus said, “That’s impossible.”


    Cornelia said. “The people you trust wouldn’t betray you, but it’s not out of the question that they’d be


    forced to, like Dn, if threatened.”


    Marcus said, “The day of the DNA test, from sampling to results, Ayden was there the whole time.


    Unless someone knew in advance we were doing a DNA test, knew where we were sending it, and


    bribed the testers that day..”


    Cornelia looked at Marcus, slowly asking, “Could someone truly have known all that in advance? After


    all, when we found out that Tahlia could be my sister, Courtney got the news too. If you hadn’t brought


    Tahlia back in time, she’d probably be in Courtney’s hands by now.”


    Marcus said, “We can’t rule out that possibility”


    Cornelia said, “Then let’s do another DNA test”


    Marcus said, “We’ll keep this quiet, I’ll handle it.”

    Cornelia said, “I have another doubt…”


    Marcus asked, “What’s that?”


    Cornelia said, “I suspect that the current ir is not my mother ir.”


    Marcus said. “Ive considered the possibility of someone impersonating your mother ir, but as far as I


    know, your mother has no siblings, and she’s an only child, so I dismissed that thought.”


    Cornelia sald, “I know my suspicion might be baseless, but whether she’s my mother or not, I still want


    to do a DNA test with her. If the test shows we’re mother and daughter, then I can stop overthinking”


    Marcus said, “We’ll do it when we get back to Riverton.”


    Cornelia said, “I always feel like Riverton’s been taken over by some people, and everything we do is


    under their watch.”


    Marcus gently ruffled Cornelia’s hair, “You’re one smart girl!”
