On hearing that, Marina’s frown deepened as she prodded, “Then hasten.

    Mrs. Bryant requires it.”


    She stressed the identity of Mrs. Bryant deliberately to signal to these doctors that despite she and


    Laura Losing their power, they still belonged to the Bryant family. She was oblivious to the fact that her


    words bore a deeper implication in their minds.


    Reech moved closer to her. He pitched his voice lower, ingratiating himself, “Miss Bryant, I’ll ensure


    someone attends to it promptly! You see, I’m extending a favor today. Could you possibly vouch for me


    at the Bryant Group in the future, maybe even aiding in advancing my position?”


    This was the inaugural instance when someone approached Marina concerning the Bryant Group


    matters, sparking a sense of pride within her. Post the illegitimate child incident, it appeared as though


    everyone now perceived her as the true powerhouse of the Bryant Group.


    Even the residual resentment from the shareholders’ meeting with Marco had somewhat evaporated.


    Marina maintained herposure and offered a cryptic smile. “Rest assured, Dr. Akinson. With your


    assistance today, once I reim control of the Bryant Group, I will certainly address this matter for you.”

    Reech’s tion soared, and he continued to heap praises on Marina, making her feel as if she were on


    top of the world.


    Concurrently, the other doctors in theboratory disyed no shock


    They continued their tasks, unperturbed by the unfolding events. It was evident that this wasn’t Reech’s


    first stint at such behavior.


    Utilizing the title of Mrs. Bryant, Marina wielded her clout, and the hospital orded her respect, giving


    her case precedence and extending special treatment. Within a few hours, the paternity test results


    were at hand.


    Reech, eager to unt his authority in Marina’s presence, feigned solemnity as he questioned his


    subordinate, “Have the results been finalized? What are the findings?”


    The intern shifted his gaze between Marina and Reech, confusion evident in his expression.


    Regardless, he shook his head and responded,


    “Director, these two individuals do not share a blood rtionship.”


    His demeanor suggested that the oue was anticipated. Marina’s face was a picture of tion. She


    yanked the test report from the intern’s grasp without even perusing it, satisfied with the oue, and


    promptly exited the hospital.


    Once Marina had departed, the intern was left in utter bewilderment. He mumbled, puzzled, “Director,


    Mrs. Bryant is significantly advanced in age. Why would she require a paternity test? Is it possible for


    her to conceive an illegitimate child at this age?”


    He was interrupted mid-sentence by a firm p on his head from Reech.


    “Yourprehension iscking! When ites to matters of the influential, it’s best to keep your nose


    out!”


    Despite sharing simr doubts, Reech refrained from voicing them. To him, the matters of the rich and


    powerful held little significancepared to the effortless wealth and prestige he enjoyed.


    Recalling Marina’s surreptitious visit today, Reech opted for extra caution. He summoned the intern


    closer and murmured, “Avoid circting rumors about today’s events, and, by the way, the cost of this


    test will be deducted from your sry.”


    The intern’s eyes bulged, his face ming in indignation.


    Nevertheless, he bit his tongue, silently seething as he watched Reech saunter away nonchntly,


    hands folded behind his back.


    Elsewhere, Marina, jubnt, clutched the test report and prepared to return to the Bryant vi.
