Chapter 613

Since Marguerite was already there, they decided to go ahead with the paternity test.

For the past three years, he had had his fair share of dealings with the cunning Lockwood family. Even Frederick, clever as he was, had been duped by them more than a dozen

times!

So instead of just proving that Yuna wasn’t the Fitzgerald heiress, it made more sense to confirm Marguerite’s identity as well, to make things crystal clear.

The Ablett couple was beside themselves with worry. Zoe immediately told Ablett to find a way to get in touch with someone at the hospital, to see if there was a way out of this

mess.

But Robert knew what Frederick was trying to do. Before Ablett could even pull out his phone, Robert’s calm but commanding voice filled the room, “I want to witness the blood being drawn this time, and I will personally wait for the test results.”

As if on cue, a female doctor with a transparent basket stepped out of the lab, “Is everyone here? Please come in. Per Mr. Winston’s orders, everyone must surrender their cell phones before entering. Kindly place your phones in this basket in an orderly fashion.”

This statement left Ablett and Yuna dumbfounded.

Usually, during a paternity test, the subjects just had their blood drawn at a window and waited. Nobody knew what happened inside the lab. Ablett and Zoe had exploited this fact to manipulate previous paternity tests.

But now, everyone had to enter the lab, where every move the doctor made would be under the watchful eyes of Frederick and Robert. Even if they could manage to call Hammond, it wouldn’t make any difference now. They were doomed!

Hackett was furious, nearly standing up to point an accusing finger at Robert, “You’ll be apologizing to your sister soon enough!”

Despite his outburst, when he saw Penelope placing her phone in the basket and entering the lab, he had no choice but to follow his wife’s lead.

When Frederick had initially brought Marguerite forward, his hand rested on her shoulder, and it remained there, warm and reassuring. Marguerite couldn’t help but glance up at him.

Meeting his intense gaze, a surge of urgency rose within her.copy right hot novel pub
