She scoffed, standing up, her tone turning frosty.
"Let's discuss this after the DNA test results."
Clara immediately reached out, gripping her hand.
"Maja, you're not going to reject us because we're poor, are you? It wasn't us who abandoned you, and you were actually stolen. Your dad and I were devastated."
Maja shook her hand off, her eyes ice-cold.
"As I said, let's wait for the results."
At this, Clara flared up, but she still held her tongue.
"At least give us your phone number so we can find you when the results are out."
But Maja was already heading towards the elevator, clearly not wanting to waste her breath on them.
Clara, however, was persistent.
"Maja, didn't you hear what your mother said?"
Maja halted in her tracks, the glare she directed at them sharp as knives.
"I don't care who you are or who sent you, and I don't have time to waste with you. We'll talk after the DNA test."
Clara paled, standing frozen on the spot.
Maja headed towards the elevator again, this time unimpeded.
Once she left, Drew sighed heavily.
"You shouldn't have said that. We've just found our daughter, and you should have said something nicer. Who wouldn't realize you're after her money with what you just said? Do you expect her to smile at that?"
"Drew, then what do you suggest we do? She is our daughter. The DNA test confirmed it. It's not like the hospital could've messed up. I think she just doesn't want to acknowledge us because we're poor."
"Whether she acknowledges us or not, the blood ties are there. We need her help and money to save our son. Don’t make your intentions too obvious from the start. Let's stay in Greenfield and try to work things out with her slowly."
Back in the elevator, Maja's expression darkened.
She called the person she had sent with her hair sample earlier.
"Keep a close eye on things over there. Try to get Dr. Phelps from the hospital to oversee the results. I'm worried someone might play dirty."
"Understood, Ms. Pennyfeather. You can rest assured."
The one replying was Maja's bodyguard from Rosewood Manor, who she had stationed on the first floor of her company to prevent any disturbances.
The bodyguard had handed over the hair sample to Dr. Phelps and explained the situation.
Dr. Phelps recalled the couple that had come for a DNA test a few days ago, but that test had been conducted by another doctor, a veteran from the hospital, so there was no chance of an error.
"Dr. Herrington, Ms. Pennyfeather requests that you personally oversee this."
Dr. Phelps nodded. As he was acquainted with Maja, he agreed to prioritize her case.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
