Chapter 182 DNA Test


    Hiding herself behind the stone wall of the yard, Debby peeked from behind, trying to see what was


    happening in the yard. She was caught by confusion, when she noticed the odd interaction between


    Mark and Tina. However, her state of stupefaction was soon interrupted when Mark''s inquisitive voice


    resonated in her ears.


    "Who''s there?" asked Mark.


    Debby had always been intimidated by rich and powerful people. As soon as she heard Mark''s voice,


    she was instantly overwhelmed with so much fear that she quickly ran away.


    Tina turned her sights to where Mark was looking, but when she found that there was nothing out of the


    ordinary, she felt disappointed and walked back into the mansion.


    Her brother, Mark, however, didn''t follow Tina into the house. Instead, he walked towards the wall,


    ruminatively.


    In the next few days, Debby sneaked in again around the mansion a few more times. When she found


    out Tina was living a luxurious life, her heart swelled up with pride.

    As an ordinary woman, Debby never dared to dream that she could live such afortable life.


    However, when she realized that her daughter, who was now one of the wealthiest girls in Jingshi City,


    had everything that her birth mother could not enjoy, Debby''s heart ddened.


    Debby became more convinced that she had made the right choice to change her own daughter with


    the baby of Tao family.


    However, unknown to Debby, Mark was already keeping a watchful eye on her after he had caught her


    sneaking around the outer walls of the mansion. At first, Mark just kept alert in case Debby would do ill


    to Tina, but as time went by, he found that there was definitely more to it than met the eye.


    For instance, one day, a box suddenly appeared at the door of Tina''s mansion. Inside the box was a


    handmade sweater in pure white, made by high-quality wool. And its style and size fitted Tina perfectly.


    Although it was just amon sweaterpared to her own expensive coats, for an ordinary white-


    cor worker, it might have been worth several months of wages.


    Having realized that the sweater was made by Debby, Mark felt that things had gone from strange to


    down-right ridiculous.


    Just as he had expected, Tina refused to put on the sweater and asked the servants to burn it as if it


    were just trash.


    Soon after, Tinapletely dismissed the sweater from her mind. However, Mark didn''t, because when


    it came to Tina, he spared no details. So, one day, he called his secretary into his study for a task.


    "Last time we met, I told you to carry out some investigation on that woman. How''s it going?" asked


    Mark.


    The secretary realized at once that Mark was asking him about the investigation in the rtion to Tina


    and Emily''s parents, as Mark wanted to know the reason behind Debby''s weird behavior.


    "Yes, Mr. Mark," the secretary answered. Then he continued,"As you know, Ms. Tina caught the Bai


    couple and humiliated them several times. After that, she paid no more visits to that hut she kept them


    captive, instead, she asked her guards to only provide the couple with minimal food." The secretary


    paused for a while before he finally decided to continue,"A few dayster, Ms. Tina made an


    appointment with Emily and brought her parents to the outskirts of the city, where Emily''s father kept


    shouting at Ms. Tina there, iming that Ms. Tina was his real daughter. I concluded, that there must


    be something wrong with his mind..."


    "What?" Astonished, Mark''s dark eyes widened with anger, as he mmed his fist on the desk, almost


    cracking the wood on the surface.


    The secretary, who could not tell whether Mark was beyond excited or angry, hesitated as he had no


    idea whether he should continue with the report or not, when suddenly Mark''s voice came to him again.


    "Go on," said Mark.


    "Okay, Mr. Mark," replied the secretary, as he swallowed hard subconsciously and continued,"Emily''s


    father kept yelling and iming that nonsense. Obviously, no one believed his words. In the end, when


    Ms. Tina felt offended because she thought she was being humiliated by Emily''s father, Mrs. Bai


    begged Ms. Tina and stopped her from killing that man."


    Mark fell into silence after hearing the report. He stood there pensively, without uttering a word for a


    long while, before he opened his mouth again and said,"Take my hair and Tina''s hair... for a DNA test."


    The secretary rounded his eyes as if he could not understand Mark''s order. He asked,"Mr. Mark?"


    ''Mr. Mark can''t possibly believe the words of a bbering mad man, can he?'' the secretary wondered,


    ''is he really doubting his sister now?''


    "Keep it on the hush-hush. Do not speak of what you''ve told me today to anyone else," said Mark in a


    cold and assertive tone as he red at the secretary. His words were like a dagger held up against the


    secretary''s throat. It was obviously a threat, and not a request. Mark added,"Do what I''ve asked you to


    do quietly. Do you understand?"


    The secretary immediately collected himself, lowered his head and nodded his reply politely,"Yes, Mr.


    Mark."


    After the secretary left, Mark stood at the window silently; with no expression on his face, he stared at


    the flying snowkes. Although, from Mark''s facial expression it was hard to determine what he was


    thinking, it was clear that he was deeply troubled by what he had discovered.


    The result of the DNA test came in faster than Mark had expected. Much to his dismay, the test


    revealed that he and Tina had no blood rtionship.


    What did the result mean? It meant that what Emily''s father imed was likely to be true.


    When Mark got the test report, hepletely lost his mind. After all, anyone, who suddenly discovered


    that their favourite sister was actually not rted to them by blood, would be on the verge of a nervous


    breakdown.


    "Ha! Ha! Ha!" Mark burst outughing, hysterically, as he gripped the report in his hand. The pleasure


    and excitement, which were buried deep in his mind, suddenly broke out of their binds and rushed out


    freely.


    However, if Tina was really the daughter of Debby and Andrew, then who was Mark''s sister, the


    biological daughter of his parents? Emily?


    ...


    Lately, Emily noticed that her mother was behaving strangely, and she sensed that Debby was hiding


    something from her. However, since Debby was adamant about keeping her secrets with her, Emily


    decided to stop questioning her. Instead, Emily began to wonder whether her mother felt more


    comfortable living in Haicheng City.


    Emily decided to ask her parents to live in Jingshi City, but her parents, however, were not happy to


    see Emily and Jacob together. So she thought she''d better put away the idea for the time being.


    One day, Emily took a day off and decided to go shopping with her mother.


    "Mom, if you like anything in the store, just tell me, and I will buy it for you," said Emily, with a confident


    tone. She was feeling aplished as she had just received a raise on her sry for doing a good job


    at the LA Company.


    "Really?" staring at the jewelry disy counter from distance, Debby asked, with an excited look on her


    face.


    "Of course," Emily nodded.


    Debby paused for a while, and reminded her daughter,"Emily, you should be more careful about how


    you spend your money. If you randomly spend Jacob''s money, will he not get angry at you? As a girl,


    you should never depend on a man; otherwise, he will look down upon you. You should look at the both


    of you as two different individuals,ing from two different worlds..."


    Emily shrugged and interrupted her mother,"Mom, what are you talking about? It''s my own money. And


    these jewelries are goods produced by ourpany. I can get them at a good discount."


    Emily took Debby''s arm and walked into the store with her, assuringly.


    "Good morning, Ms. Emily," said the salesgirl, as she recognized Emily at once and greeted her with a


    smile. Then she continued,"What brings you here today? For visitation?"


    "Good morning," Emily nodded, smiling at the salesgirls, and then she continued in a soft voice,"No, I


    am shopping with my mother today."


    Immediately, the salesgirl nodded at Emily. With a smile on her face, she turned to Emily''s mother and


    said,"I see. Good morning, madam. We are the No.1 retail outlet of LA Company in Jingshi City. We


    have newest and most popr jewelries here. May I show them to you?"


    "Thank you, but I will show them to my mother. I know you are busy," said Emily.


    "Okay, Ms. Emily. Have a nice day."


    "Thank you," Emily nodded. After the salesgirl walked away, Emily showed her mother around the store


    in a casual manner, as if she were at her own home.


    The eyes of Emily''s mother dazzled as she walked past some of the most beautiful and elegant


    jewelries she had everid eyes upon. How she wished she could bring them all back home with her.
