Mrs. Gardner was also eager to know whether Maka was her daughter or not. Therefore, much as she cared about her image, she went to the detention center with her husband hastily without washing her face this time.


    Soon, they arrived at the detention center and found Maka.


    Maka looked at them happily, “Why are you here, mom, dad?”


    Trenton didn’t say anything but handed what he had in hand to her, “Take a look.”


    “What’s that?” Maka took them and checked.


    With her eyes on the materials, she didn’t seem to be shocked after a sense of cunning shed in her eyes.


    But the photo made her face suddenly turn pale.


    “Dad!” with the photo clenched in hand, Maka turned to Trenton hastily, “The photo…”


    “You want to ask where I found the photo, right?” Trenton interrupted her instantly.


    Maka opened her mouth but did not utter a sound. Obviously, Trenton was right.


    Trenton got to the point directly and said coldly, “It was found in my mailbox this morning. There was also a paternity test result sent to me yesterday. The result said that you are not my daughter.”


    “That’s impossible!” Maka said loudly, “I’m your daughter, dad. It must be fake. Someone is trying to break up our family.”


    She knew it was Amber and Hayden who did it. They do that only to inform mom and dad that she was not their daughter.


    They really did what they said. They said they would reveal her real identity and then they got started right away. If it was only Amber that did this, Maka wasn’t upset at all.


    But Hayden was also involved in it. The fact really broke her heart.


    “I do believe the DNA test we did back then was correct. We did it together after all. And our hair wasn’t stolen. So, the result sent yesterday could be fake. But the photo I got today… I can’t. How would you exin why you look so simr to the man on the photo?” Trenton pointed at the photo on Maka’s hand and said in a low voice.


    Maka lowered her head to look at the photo on hand. At this moment she just wanted to have the man on it killed by her gaze.


    Ever since she came to Olkmore and became a member of the Gardner family, she never met the couple again, whom she hated so much.


    But now Amber will let her see them.


    What a sweet move.


    “I have no idea. I don’t know why he would look like me so much. I’ve never met this man before. Trust me, dad.” Maka put her hand on her heart, trying to make Trenton believe her.


    Trenton lowered his eyelids and didn’t say a word. Maka didn’t know whether he believed her or not.


    Maka then turned to Mrs. Gardner, “Mom, all I said is true. I really have no idea who he is. Trust me, please, mom!”


    Mrs. Gardner was prone to be affected by someone else. Now with Maka’s sincere face in sight, Mrs. Gardner’s mouth opened but then was suddenly stopped by Trenton.


    Mrs. Gardner then put an apologetical expression on face, “Sorry, Maka. I want to believe you, but the one on the photo look so simr to you. It would be hard for me to believe if you say you don’t know who the guy is.”


    “Your mother is right. Though I know you will be sad if we suspect your identity. But please understand us. Maka is our only child. We’ve beenmenting her death for over two decades. Now we know she is alive. You should imagine how happy we are. We will not let anyone cheat us in Maka’s disguise. If you are the real Maka, I think you wouldn’t mind if we do so, right?” Trenton said with his eyes fixed on her.


    Maka lowered her eyelids to hide the shadow in her eyes. Then she managed a smile on her face, “Of course. That’s because I’m the real Maka.”


    “Great. So, I’ve decided to take you to another paternity test. We will do it in several institutions this time. If the results all showed that you are my daughter, then I will not forgive the one who tries to break up our family. But if it turns out that you are not my daughter, then I will not let you go either. Do you understand?” Trenton squinted.


    Maka clenched her hands into fists, “Yes!”


    She had epted them as her parents and they were the only parents she wanted.


    She must be Maka Gardner. She was Maka Gardner.


    Thinking of her secret weapon and the agreement with Jared, Maka took a deep breath and put on a calm face, “So, we are going there now, right, dad?”


    Seeing Maka’s rxed face, Trenton knew she wasn’t afraid of taking a paternity. A sense of confidence shed in his eyes before it faded instantly. He nodded, “Of course. I’ve talked to the police. You can leave this center for 2 hours.”


    “Okay,” Maka nodded.


    After that, she left the detention center with the couple and headed towards an institution for a paternity test.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    On the way, Trenton dialed Amber’s number.


    Amber was having her breakfast. Hearing her phone ringing, she called Violet.


    Violet took out her phone and took a look. Trenton’s name on the screen made her heart cease for a second. Then she pretended not to know who the guy was and handed the phone over to Amber, “It is a man called Trenton Gardner.”


    “Trenton Gardner?” a sense of surprise shed on Amber’s face. Then she answered the call and said, “Oh, Mr. Gardner. It had never urred to me that you would call me.”


    “H’m, Amber Reed, it was you who sent the things to my mailbox, I think?” Trenton said in a low voice.


    The things in the mailbox …


    Amber squinted.


    She knew Hayden put a paternity test result in Gardner’s mailbox yesterday.


    So, the things in the mailbox must be sent by Hayden too. But she had no idea what he put.


    Amber tickled her eyes and said, “Sorry, Mr. Gardner. I don’t understand.”


    “You don’t understand?” Trenton sneered, “Amber Reed, we’ve been fighting against each other for a long time. I’ll be straight with you. If you sent me the paternity test result to try to break up my family only because Judy has attacked you, then I think you’ve crossed the line.”


    Amber smiled, “Cross the line? Sorry, Mr. Garden. I don’t think I’ve crossed the line. Judy Lashley attacked me and then you think I should stay there without revenging on her? That’s ridiculous.”


    “Indeed. You have the right to revenge. But if you want to break up my family, I would say you are rather despicable. Just like what your father did 26 years ago.”


    He admitted that he had gone too far 26 years ago. But it had never urred to him that the technicist would die. It was within the bounds of reason for Hugo to revenge on him.


    If Amber wanted to revenge, she should have gone for him. But now she was trying to hurt his daughter. Was it not despicable?
