Chapter 827 Conducting A DNA Test


    “So, she has been abroad,” Mallory stated firmly as she examined the video closely. “But there’s not


    much change, just in the jaw and cheekbones. It’s subtle, and only a professional would notice it.”


    Having spent a lot of time by Calvin’s side, Mallory had encountered many women with various


    motives, making her adept at reading people.


    Josie furrowed her brows. “Are you absolutely sure?”


    Mallory leaned against the railing, her expression shifting with the gentle breeze. “I’m quite sure. She


    didn’t undergo stic surgery to enhance her beauty; she altered her original appearance, trying to


    be…”


    She struggled to find the right words, leaving her exnation iplete.


    Nevertheless, Josie felt relieved at her words. “Thank you; you’ve been a great help. I’ll treat you to a


    meal, sometime.”


    Mallory wasn’t done yet; she turned to ask, “Is it true what they say about you and Morgan?”


    “You’re quite the gossip.” Josie sighed.


    “I’m not prying; I’m just curious,” Mallory exined. “Before you started making headlines with Morgan,


    the news about Dexter and Heather was all over the ce. I can’t help but wonder if you did it to spite.


    him.”


    Upon hearing this, Josie couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony. “If he doesn’t care at all, then what I’m.


    doing is meaningless.”

    Mallory wiggled her finger at the other woman. “Dexter returned to Wavery before you did; he met with


    Calvin this morning.”


    Josie was surprised. “That fast?”


    “Your expression still betrays some feelings for him,” Mallory observed.


    Hearing this, Josie was reminded of the way Dexter had punished her in the car the previous night, and


    she couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. “Don’t disgust me.”


    Mallory chuckled and opened her arms for a hug. “I’m just relieved to see you’re okay. When I first


    heard. about your divorce, I was quite worried.”


    Josie, her heart warmed by the gentle embrace, which had been cold for so long, felt on the verge of


    tears. “Thank you.”


    This gesture solidified Josie’s trust in Mallory even further.


    “Actually, there’s one more thing I need your help with,” Josie said as she pulled out a folder. “Inside,


    there are three samples. Two of them need separate DNA tests, and they should bepared with the


    one from the person with white hair.”


    Initially nning to ask Laura for help, Josie now couldn’t wait any longer. The sooner this matter was


    resolved, the better.


    Mallory opened the folder and examined its contents. One of the samples had a distinct marking. She


    seemed somewhat surprised as she asked, “You suspect that…”


    Josie nodded, her expression serious. “I’m not entirely sure yet, but I need your help with this. Please


    keep it confidential. My public image is too conspicuous, so I have no choice but to handle it discreetly.”


    After a moment of contemtion, Mallory nodded slowly. “I’ll help you with this.”


    Josie expressed her gratitude and then offered a suggestion, “If possible, it would be best to conduct


    the tests in Lightspring. I have some concerns about the discretion of theboratories in Wavery.”


    Mallory understood the implication and nodded in agreement. “I’ll provide you with an answer within the


    next three days.”


    As Josie left Heaven on Earth, she received a message from Laura: What’s going on? Also, everyone’s


    talking about your scandal with Morgan. It’s all over the city. Are you back?


    Josie chose to respond only to the first sentence: Everything is fine now.


    Meanwhile, amidst the gossip headlines, financial news was making waves.


    Russell Group had been bottom-fishing, delivering an unexpected blow to foreign investors. This


    prompted the Securities Regtory Commission tounch thorough investigations into major


    companies. to determine if there was any insider trading involving public information. The Carter Group


    was the first to face the consequences, with Arnold being taken in for questioning.


    Originally, Russell Group had been hit hard by the scandal involving Josie’s photos. However, the


    recent developments had also erased some of the Carter Group’s victories.


    Neither side achieved an absolute victory.


    However, the Carter Group faced another setback when a photo and video of Summer pa*sionately


    kissing a stranger in a bar emerged, dealing yet another heavy blow to their reputation.
