“I... I…” Juliet trembled all over, unable to utter a single word.
The evidence was laid out before her—what could she possibly say?
She wasn’t a Cooper. She wasn’t the cherished daughter of the family anymore.
What future did she have left?
“Dad, this paternity test is questionable. We should do it again to prevent any tampering,” Gavin suggested calmly.
Wilfried, staring at Juliet's now unfamiliar face, turned and said, “You handle it.”
“Understood,” Gavin replied.
Unlike Gernard, who had always doted on Juliet, Gavin was cold and distant.
Now that they knew Juliet wasn’t their sister and had committed so many vile deeds, his demeanor toward her grew even colder. He swiftly made the necessary arrangements, while Juliet was locked away.
Gernard sat on the sofa, dazed. “If Juliet isn’t our sister, then who is?”
Wilfried’s gaze drifted to a photograph on the wall. It was of a graceful woman in an evening gown, smiling warmly at the camera.
"Suzy, I’ve found the wrong daughter. Juliet isn’t ours. From where you are, can you tell me where our real daughter is?"
Judith watched all of this, her fingernails digging painfully into her palms. She had been married into the Cooper family for ten years, yet she had never truly entered Wilfried’s heart. Even the two brothers treated her with indifference.
It wasn’t worth it at all.
The new paternity test would take some time, but the Coopers had already begun searching far and wide for their real daughter. Every move they made was quickly known to Lucas and Aveline.
“The paternity test will take three days,” Lucas said. “Do you want to go to Larbor City now?”
Aveline nodded. “I’ll go and see for myself.”
Three days would give her time to explore Larbor City before the results came out. Then, they could see what the Cooper family decided.
The flight to Larbor City only took a few hours, and by the time they landed, the sun was setting.
