Chapter 289 The Moment Of Truth
Ava shook her head frantically. “No, no, you and Oliver truly aren’t siblings!”
Even so, Ruby was terrified as she also felt that it was the most conceivable possibility.
“In that case, let’s do a DNA test,” Lydia suddenly suggested.

With her eyes slightly red–rimmed, she turned to look at Damien. At the sight of him with his head
hung low, her heart inexorably clenched.
She continued, “I also found the matter puzzling. Since Mrs. Willis is unable tomunicate
rationally and exin her reasons, let’s proceed by verifying the most usible conjecture.”
In truth, as a person in power, Lydia shouldn’t have made such a hasty decision. If it turned out that
they were wrong, it would cause irrevocable damage to her mother–son rtionship with Oliver.
But perhaps because she had been overly upset by Oliver, at that moment, she wanted to trust her
instincts and make a rash decision for once. She had never actually contemted about how
wonderful it would be if Damien were her child. Nheless, there were countless times when she
had vaguely felt that he was very much like her. Unfortunately, back then, she simply attributed it to
the fact that she taught him personally resulted in their simrities.
From the look of things right the wever, it might be biological.
Compared to her, Oliver resembled her narrow–minded and malicious former sister–inw far
more.
“Mom, you doubt me?” Oliver was in great turmoil at that moment, but his mother’s sudden request
for at DNA test was still a stab to his heart. It felt as if he was being disdained, the unneeded one.
Sure enough, you’d prefer Damien to be your child! Fine. If we’re going to do this, and it turns out
that I’m your son, don’t ever expect me to acknowledge you again. Henceforth, you’re not my
mother anymore!”
Lydia sneered inwardly. Once she rid herself of the rose–colored sses of maternal love,
everything epassing Oliver’s words became crystal clear.
She knew that his behavior indicated his fear, for he also had his suspicions but was unwilling to
confront the reality. He couldn’t face the fact that his mother was no different from a madwoman
and refused to acknowledge that everything he had from head to toe was stolen from Damien, yet
in the end, he still fell short inparison to thetter,
“If
f you truly have the backbone to follow through on your words, then you indeed resemble me
somewhat,” Lydia replied indifferently. Then, with a wave of her hand, her security guards stepped
forward. It seemed they were nning to take a sample by force.
“You… You can’t do this!” Ava was frantic. “Damien, are you just going to sit back and do nothing? If
you dare let them do this, I’ll take my life before your eyes!
Damien lifted his head, his gaze numb as he took in everything. “I would also like to know the truth
of why you treat me this way. If you want to ckmail me with your death, well, I wouldn’t be
legally responsible
anyway. After all,pared to everything you subjected me to, being an ingrate is truly nothing.”
Ava was stunned. She stared at Damien who could no longer be threatened in disbelief. By the time
she Tegained her senses and attempted to lunge for the knife to solidify her threat, the security
guards had long since been prepared for it. Once again, they restrained her.

Upon lifting her head, Ava saw Lydia approaching. Reduced to a pathetic state, she had no choice
but to turn to her husband for help in the end.
Meanwhile, Sergio was still in shock. He was a shrewd man, realizing that the tide had turned, and
a DNA test was inevitable. At the same time, his wife’s reaction had also affirmed the results.

We’re doomed! The Willis family is done for, and so is Ruby!
Ruby was still in a state of panic as she observed everything while Oliver shouted and bellowed
with his face contorted as he was restrained by the security guards.
Lydia walked up to Ava and said, “Struggling is pointless. You should know my temperament by
now. It won’t stop mid–way. If youe clean now, you could save yourself some suffering.”
She would undoubtedly verify the matter, but the more she thought about it, the more eager she
was to obtain the answer quickly.
The veins on Ava’s face popped up. Just when everyone thought she would remain stubborn until
the bitter end, she suddenly burst into heartyughter.
“Lydia Sanders, you deserved it! You had iting!”
Lydia’s expression changed drastically, and a chorus of gasps echoed from the surrounding crowd.
Only Oliver and Ruby turned their gaze to Ava nkly in an instant.

quietly enjoying the show with her.
be immediately grabbed Alexander’s hand, her excitement palpable.
Ava hadpletely lost her mind by then, scornfully mocking Lydia in a reckless move of despair,
crowing. “You’re but a fool, helping me raise my son for over twenty years while allowing yours to be
tormented all these years, with no father to protect him and no mother to love him. He could only
cautiously survive under your roof, desperately trying to please me, yearning for a shred of maternal
love. His servile demeanor was downrightughable. He didn’t even dare topete with Ollie,
who bullied him, for anything. This is your retribution, visited upon your child!”
Those words were spoken with such venom, they were a stab to the heart.
Despite Lydia being a sessful businesswoman, at that moment, her eyes promptly welled with
tears, and tears streamed down her face uncontrobly. She turned to look at Damien, only to see
that his face was devoid of expression, yet his tears flowed ceaselessly as well.
Her heart clenched painfully. She grabbed Ava by the cor, seemingly wishing to strangle her.
“Why? How have I ever offended you exactly? Why would you be so cruel? Tell me why!”
Was it because of Jared?” Howard suddenly interjected, his voice hoarse. “It was because of Jared,
right? You’ve never let it go?”
That was the first time he had ever raised his voice in anger. Even though he was often overlooked
and had handed over most of all power to his wife, he showed a paternal instinct to protect his son
at that moment due to the incident of thetter having been switched. His fists were clenched so
tightly that the veins popped up.
“What?” Lydia looked at her husband in bewilderment

With a sorrowful expression, Howard looked at Lydia and said, “I truly had no idea she was such a
lunatic and was capable of such madness. I only kept you in the dark to spare you any
awkwardness at home. In truth, back then…”
As Howard continued narrating his ount, everyone came to understand the events of the past
and the irrational resentment harbored by Ava,
Lydia and Damien seemed unable to put on an appropriate expression anymore. They simply
couldn’t fathom how they were dragged into the conflict between Jared and Ava. It was utterly
absurd.
As soon as Lydia turned her head, she saw Ava ring her with hatred. She trembled all over with
rage. “Jared and I…. have no rtionship whatsoever. I didn’t even know about this! And you knew
that! You knew it all along! How could you be so malicious? You hate me and even Damien. What
gives… What gives!”
“Why shouldn’t I hate you? Since you’re married, you shouldn’t have allowed my husband to
continue having feelings for you. It was all your fault. Then, there’s your son. If it weren’t for him, I
wouldn’t have had to endure all that pain,” Ava roared self–righteously as if she was the one who
had been wronged and the one in the right.
At that, almost everyone gaped at her incredulously, including Lydia.
“Do you know why I had obstructedbor back then? Because we went intobor right after the
other, that man stood guard outside your delivery room out of worry for you. That caused me such
distress that it led to Ollie being born prematurely, leaving me teetering on the brink between life
and death. Wasn’t all that your and your son’s fault?”
