Chapter 473
Marguerite couldn’t quite believe her ears, but the realization soon hit her.
“So what you’re saying is, Hayes is my missing son?”
Miley nodded vigorously, like a bobblehead, “I shrugged off the resemblance between you and Yuna before, thinking it was just a coincidence. But the moment I met Hayes face to face, I saw that it wasn’t just about looks. It was the mannerisms, the way you carry yourselves!”
If that was the case, there were too many unanswered questions swirling in Marguerite’s mind.

But Miley’s thoughts were as unpredictable as a summer storm. She paced around the room, her mind racing. Then, as if struck by lightning, she had an epiphany, her face lighting up with excitement, “What if the person who took away your son was Barnes, and he handed the child over to Yuna? She then made up a story, telling Mr. Winston she had twins!
Think about it. If Manley and Hayes were both Yuna’s children, why would she favor one so blatantly over the other? The most likely explanation is that Hayes is actually your son, and that’s why she neglected him! Doesn’t that make sense?”
Miley’s ideas were always out of left field, and her speculation eased Marguerite’s doubts.
“At the time, Yuna was already pregnant with Frederick’s child, which should have been enough to secure her status. So why go through the trouble of taking my treasure? And you know, after Yuna gave birth, they did a paternity test with Frederick.”
“And what of it? That only proves Hayes is Mr. Winston’s son, not necessarily Yuna’s!”
Miley finished her thought and her mind was off to the races again.
She paced back and forth, muttering to herself, “Paternity test… paternity test…”
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, turned, and hurried over to Marguerite, urgency written all over her face, “The crux of the matter is the paternity test!
I remember Robert telling me once that Mr. Winston sent Yuna to an island to give birth mainly because he doubted the child was his! So he cut off contact with Yuna, eager
for a paternity test as soon as she delivered! Therefore, her stealing your son could very well have been to pass Mr. Winston’s paternity test!”
Listening to Miley’s narrative, Marguerite furrowed her brows.copy right hot novel pub
