Chapter 410
Across the room, Zane had taken the document away from Toby and flipped to thest page. When
Zane saw that the test results were theplete opposite of what he had expected, his eyes
widened as he eximed in disbelief, “How is this even possible?”
Upon hearing this, Sonia’s heart sank as panic overwhelmed her. What’s going on? Why does Zane
make it sound like something bad has happened? “Wanda,” she called out while clutching the
armrest anxiously.
Wanda approached Sonia and crouched down next to the wheelchair. “Miss Reed?”
Sonia turned in the direction of Wanda’s voice and insisted, “Wanda, you were in theboratory the
entire time, so you must know the results, don’t you? Tell me.
“Well...” Wanda’s gaze flickered over to Zane, but he was shell shocked, judging from the way his
hand trembled as it held the papers.
When she sensed the olderdy’s hesitation, Sonia grew antsy. Then, she curled her fist and dug
her nails into her palm as she frantically urged, “Wanda, tell me!”
Wanda nced at Toby, who caught the look on her face and nodded once. She heaved a sigh and
replied reluctantly, “The results indicate that the youngdy over there is President Gray’s biological
daughter.”
Upon hearing Wanda’s words, Sonia’s eyes widened and she tensed up with bewilderment. Taylor
is Titus’ biological daughter? That’s impossible! That can’t be right. They aren’t supposed to be
biologically rted at all. The results must be fake; someone must have manipted it!
Sonia’s thoughts went wild. Taylor had probably figured a foolproof way to bribe the test facility and
its employees into faking those test results. She might not have the means to do it, but chances of it
happening were slim as well.
On the other side of the room, Titus and Julia had overheard what Wanda said and exchanged a
gleeful look with each other.
“Did you hear that, honey? Rina is our daughter!” Julia gripped Rina’s hand as she proimed
excitedly, “Didn’t I say that Rina is unmistakably our daughter? We even did a test right from the
get-go to be sure of it! How could we have possibly faked something like that?”
He nodded in satisfaction. “You were right all along.” Then, he turned to look at Rina, the frosty
gleam in his eyes reced with a warm one as he apologized, “I’m sorry, Rina. I never should have
doubted you.”
She shook her head before a slow smile spread on her face as she tearfully responded, “It’s okay,
Dad, I don’t me you. Miss Reed and the others were the ones who fabricated the test results and
brought Hal and Greta over to prove their case. They did all they could to make you believe I’m not
your daughter, so your doubt wasn’t uncalled for. All that matters now is that we have the real
results to prove that I am indeed your daughter. I don’t me you at all, Mom and Dad. If anything, I
me Miss Reed and her friends the most; they’d crossed the line and dealt a really low blow.”
Rina had somehow managed to pin all the me on Sonia.
Sure enough, Titus and Julia grimaced at Sonia like she was a piece of filth and their rage toward
her was renewed at once. “Sonia, the results are out and it shows that Rina is my daughter,” he
gravely pointed out and scoffed.
“Anything else you’d like to add to that?”
Julia, however, was more blunt with her words as she snapped, “Don’t waste your pleasantries on
her, honey. Let’s call the police on her immediately!”
Meanwhile, Sonia’s expression turned sour. She hadn’t expected that things would turn out like this
and her hand was shaking where it had gripped the armrest tightly. Is this it? Will I actually be
personally handed over to the police by Titus ?
Titus was already taking out his phone and one could practically feel his triumph from across the
room as he made to call the cops.
Upon seeing this, Toby narrowed his eyes into dangerous slits. He was about to say something
when Zane finally snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Titus. “Hold your horses!”
Everyone’s gazes fell on him when they heard this and Titus was sullen as he used, “Are you
going to stop me, Young Master Zane?”
“I think the results are fake and I refuse to believe it!” Zane said with an air of authority as he threw
the paperwork onto the floor unceremoniously.
Rina grimaced spitefully at his interjection and her fists curled at her sides. The results are out, but
he’s still trying to make me look suspicious. Is he so dead-set on bringing me down ?
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
“Fake?” Titus repeated with a cold sneer. “Young Master Zane, you’ve seen the results with your
own eyes and you even asked someone to head into theboratory to keep an eye on the
procedure. What gives you the right to use us of faking the results?”
“What right do I have? In case you forgot, they’re still here!” Zane pointed smugly at Hal and Greta,
both of whom hurried forward and came to a stop next to him.
He pped a hand on Hal’s shoulder and added, “Look at his face and tell me Taylor doesn’t
resemble him!”
“Dad,” Rina interjected as she grabbed Titus’ arm and swayed it. “Dad, my resemnce to that man
is more likely due to my having spent thest twenty-over years with him under the same roof. I
heard that these things could happen even if the cohabitants are not biologically rted, so maybe I
look like my adoptive father precisely because of”
“Rina’s words make sense, Titus. I don’t think it’s too far of a stretch. You know how when two
people, even lovers, start to resemble each other after living together for a while. Look at President
Morrison and his wife—they didn’t look like each other at all in the beginning, but that changed after
a couple of years down the road.”
Titus nodded in agreement. “That’s true.”
Zane gaped at Titus and Julia. He couldn’t believe that they were so easily convinced by Rina’s
exnation and found himself thinking, My goodness, I’m dealing with a couple of idiots! Even if
whatever Rina said were to happen in real life, the resemnce wouldn’t be so freakishly strong!
She and Hal are clearly biologically rted!
Even Toby couldn’t resist eyeing Rina with subtle admiration. It seemed that she was able to leave a
better, albeit more scheming impression of herself every time they met; her intelligence and sharp
wit was unexpectedly well-honed, given her ability to resolve her own crises in an incredibly short
amount of time. If she hadn’t betrayed Sonia, Toby thought of recruiting her as a subordinate and
nurturing her talent.
“So...” Hal rubbed his palms together with a little nervousness as he peered at Zane. “Mr. Coleman,
about the DNA test you mentioned earlier, can it determine whether a child is biologically rted to
his or her parents like on those television shows?”
“That’s right,” Zane affirmed with a nod.
Hal’s eyes began to redden as he became flustered. “So, you’re saying that little wench Taylor is the
biological daughter of those rich folks? And the test has actually proved it?”
“Yes.” Zane nodded once more.
An angry look shed across Hal’s features as he glowered at Rina and her so-called ‘biological
parents’ before he spat out in disgust, “How could she be your biological kid? I watched as my wife
delivered her, so how in the world did she suddenly be your child?”
He might not have had much regard for this daughter of his, but he was keen to safeguard his own
pride. After all, what would be of him if he actually allowed his own child to be someone
else’s in the blur of a moment?
“Dad, I’m scared,” Rina whimpered, ducking behind Titus like a skittish kitten.
Simrly, Titus hadn’t expected Hal to be so frightening all of a sudden and he was about to
retort when Sonia smacked the armrest of her wheelchair to silence everybody. “That’s enough.
Since we all have something to say about the results, why don’t we just do another test and be
done with it?”
Titus eyed her incredulously. “The report from the test we did earlier is still here! If you don’t want to
admit the truth of it now, who knows what you will say when the next report is out?”
She bit her lip. “No, if the next test report indicates that Taylor’s your daughter, I’ll let this go once
and for all. If she’s shown that she’s not biologically rted to you
two, then you’ll have to hand her over.”
“Dad!” Rina began to panic.
“Don’t worry, she won’t get away with this.” He patted her arm soothingly before turning to stare at
Sonia darkly. “How do you propose we carry out the next test?”
“You still have a couple strands of hair on you, right, President Gray? Pluck them and we’ll have the
samples delivered to several other test facilities. Also, Taylor will have to do a DNA test to see
whether her sample matches that of Hal and Greta as well. Once the results are out, we’ll do a
comparison and see whose daughter she is,” Sonia announced as she narrowed her eyes.
Zane brightened up considerably and pped his hands in agreement. “I’m all for this idea! How
about you, Titus? You’ve the guts to continue with this?” There was a clear challenge in his eyes as
he gazed at Titus.
Titus scoffed indignantly. “Of course I’ve the guts or you won’t stop breathing down my neck about
this ridiculous matter! If you’re so sure that Rina is this couple’s child, then I’ll just have to prove you
wrong!”
He took out the individual sample bags of hair that he had prepared earlier before he nced at
Rina. “Rina, we’re going to need a couple more strands of your hair.”
This revtion made a chill run down her spine and her face paled as she hesitated to pluck out
any more strands of her hair. She didn’t dare to, seeing that the one she gave as a sample earlier
was Sonia’s and not her own!
