Rose could tell that Irene did not believe the paternity test, so she said, "Irene, my dad won't lie to you. My dad never lies to anyone."
Irene replied, "Do you also think my mom isn't Ruby Gould? Do you think it's Avery Tate?"
"It's not about what I think, the report says so. Irene, you can take your own DNA sample and Avery's DNA sample to run a test in Taronia if you don't believe my dad and the paternity test centers in Aryadelle." Rose felt like it was the only way to assure Irene. "Dad, can we do that?"
Wesley replied, "Of course."
Irene struggled inside.
It was too troublesome to do that.
Moreover, it would be awkward if the test results were the same in Taronia, right?
Layla arrived soon.
Irene walked out from her room. It was her first time meeting Layla.
"You must be Irene!" Layla strided towards her and reached her hand out. "I'm Layla Tate, nice to meet you."
Irene did not know what to say, so she just shook her hand.
Unexpectedly, she was pulled by Layla after she grabbed her hand.
"Let's go out and chat! I'm treating you to a meal." Layla walked to the door while holding her hand.
Irene was like a puppet on a string.
They walked out from the Brook mansion and followed the streets. They strolled along aimlessly.
Irene shook her head and said, "My grandma doesn't know much either."
Layla said, "Actually, I just know about the general situation. My parents can tell you about the specifics by then. My dad has an older buddy in Ylore, they knew each other when they were out and about back then. That buddy is Ruby Gould's dad, his name is Gary Gould. Gary wants my dad to marry her daughter, Ruby. You were transferred to Ruby's belly in the end, and my parents didn't know."
Irene was so shocked that she could not say a word.
"Do you think it's outrageous?" Layla took Irene to a restaurant.
It was too hot outside.
"How would my mom not know when I was transferred?" asked Irene.
"My mom had a brain tumor back then. She asked her classmate to operate on her. My mom was injected with anesthetic back then. You were transferred when my mom was unconscious. That classmate of hers did the transfer operation. Actually, that classmate did it out of kindness because my mom's body could not handle being pregnant back then. You should've been aborted."
