Eric took a deep look at Kate and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Uncle, you should know what I mean! Since we are a family, there was no need to be hostile. It is all because of Lola that Murphy is entangled in the lawsuit! But if Lola is your daughter, you can negotiate with her. Let's see how to solve the problem. I believe you won't let me down."
"Kate..." Eric hesitated and shook his head. When he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Rachel beside him.
Rachel patted her daughter's hand and smiled, "If we are a family, of course we should respect and love each other. Don't worry. Take good care of Florence. We'll talk about it later."
"Mom, how can I stay at home at ease?! Florence has fallen asleep. Besides, it's not a big deal to have a nanny to look after her. I also want to know the background of Lola. I'll go with you! Are we leaving now?"
Hearing this, Eric frowned, "You want to go with me?"
Kate said, "Yes. Don't you agree?"
"Of course no... Let's go together."
Eric looked at Rachel and compromised.
Eric didn't expect that Rachel and Kate would go with him. Not to mention him, even Lola and Jacob were surprised to see the three of them.
Lola's eyes were dull and hesitant.
Everyone sat down with their own thoughts.
"Mr. Eric, I didn't expect Mrs. Rachel and Miss. Kate to come here. I remember that I asked you out alone?"
A trace of surprise and dissatisfaction flashed through Jacob's eyes.
Jacob never said that he would take Lola with him. He just said to ask Eric out to have a talk. So he didn't expect that Eric would bring two more people here.
Now the five of them looked at each other in embarrassment.
With a guilty conscience, [Eric said, "I think there is nothing to hide from Rachel."
"Yes! Mr. Jacob, we probably know what your intention is today, so uncle doesn't want to hide it from my Mom and me. Since we are a family, of course we have the right to come here to tell you the truth. Is there anything wrong?"
With her head tilted to one side, Kate seemed to be looking at Jacob very seriously, with a suspicious expression on her face.
"No problem... Now that mother * is here, I want to make it clear! (* TN: here mother means sworn mother)! Things are far beyond my imagination! After discussing with Jacob, I decided that no matter what the information is, the first thing we need to do is DNA testing! If the DNA testing is not the same, maybe it is just that people are similar. If the DNA testing proves that we are related by blood, it means that we..."
Lola choked with sobs and said in a trembling and nervous voice, "It means that we are biological..."
Eric's eyes were all on Lola. He kept nodding and said, "You are right! That's it!"
Then Jacob took out two sealed bags and marked their names. Lola pulled her hair and put one of them in the bag.
Eric immediately pulled out a hair and put it in the hand of Jacob. After the seal was sealed, Jacob handed it to Paul and said, "Send it there now without delay."
"Yes, sir!" Paul took it and said seriously.
After Paul left, they fell into a strange silence again.
Glancing at the crowd, Kate thought for a while and stood up. "I'm sorry. I have to go to the bathroom first. You guys talk first."
Kate left quickly with something in her hand.
