“Keep tabs on Marina’s activities and inform me at once of any suspicious movements.”


    Once her assistant confirmed her instructions, Loraine pocketed her phone and stared in the direction


    Marina had disappeared, her gazeden with worry.


    The repeated antics of the Bryant family’s mother-daughter duo had eroded Loraine’s trust in them.


    She knew she had to be vignt, ready to step in if Marina stirred up more trouble. She wished to be by


    Marco’s side, ready to lend a hand if needed.

    Meanwhile, at the Bryant Group Hospital, Marina had reached theboratory department.


    She cautiously nced around before clearing her throat to gain the attention of the doctor at the


    window. “Who is in charge here? I need some files for a paternity test.”


    Reech Akinson, the head of theboratory department, happened to be nearby sorting out some


    paperwork. Hearing Marina’s request, he recognized her immediately.


    Reech’s face broke into a fawning smile as he hurried over to Marina.


    “Miss Bryant, whose records are you after? Our hospital has meticulously maintained the Bryant


    family’s records over the years!”


    Reech announced eagerly.


    He knew that pleasing a member of the Bryant family was an easy ticket to promotion in the hospital.


    Marina’s arrival gave him a golden opportunity, and he was desperate to make the most of it.


    Having felt overlooked recently, Marina found Reech’s ttery pleasing. She nodded haughtily and


    confidently extracted a strand of hair from her bag. “Match this hair to Mrs. Bryant’s records,” she


    commanded.

    “Mrs. Bryant?” Reech quirked an eyebrow, his gazending on Marina quizzically.


    “Which Mrs. Bryant are you referring to?” He questioned with an undertone of uncertainty.

    Impatience knitted Marina’s brows together as she retorted, “Which Mrs.


    Bryant do you think? Cease the unnecessary dy, I’m pressed for time!


    Can you shoulder the consequences of obstructing my schedule?”


    Reech’s puzzlement deepened, but Marina’s authoritative demeanor made him hesitate to probe


    further. He nodded, bowing slightly as he epted the strand of hair from her. Without dy, he


    addressed another doctor, stating emphatically, “Retrieve Mrs. Bryant’s file immediately and conduct a


    paternity test with this hair sample!”


    The young intern doctor, still green and unseasoned, scratched his head in bewilderment and asked,


    “Are we allowed to just ess Mrs. Bryant’s file like that?”


    Reech cast a warning nce at the intern without uttering a word. He then reverted his attention to


    Marina, wearing a polite smile.


    “Please forgive him. He’s mot fully cognizant. Miss, since you’re here in person, we’ll surely expedite


    the process for you.”


    The intern drooped his head in silent reproof but refrained from uttering a word.
