She paused and inhaled deeply to cool herself down, then she continued, "Dad, mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied, but they brought me great damages. I didn't want to mention them in the slightest. It reminded me of the darkest days in my life when I brought them up."
"That's enough. Makayla, that's okay." Mrs. Gardner threw her arms around Makayla in distress. Tears uncontrollably rolled down her face.
Even Trenton's expression gradually softened.
Makayla's speech cleared Trenton's doubts.
But Toby and his wife wouldn't believe Makayla's shit.
Toby shivered in anger. "Bullshit! You little bitch, when did I say you're not my daughter? When did I hide the necklace?"
"You are making this up!" Toby's wife echoed with red eyes.
Toby realized what Makayla was up to. She didn't even want to admit that they were her biological parents, so she deliberately made up another story about her birth.
Why didn’t they notice their daughter was this bold and ambitious?
Hayden was shocked, and his expression turned serious.
He narrowed his eyes at Makayla intensely.
This woman's brain ran fast! She twisted the situation with only a few words.
He and Amber really underestimated Makayla. Now they were regretting picking her as their spy from the beginning!
"Judy, you are good at this," Hayden looked at Makayla and applauded, "You can dodge the bullet in just a few words."
Makayla dropped her head and stared at the floor to hide the gloom in her eyes.
She knew Hayden wanted to reignite Trenton's doubts.
But unfortunately, Makayla would not give him this opportunity.
She pulled Trenton's arms and whined, "Mom, dad, Miss Reed wants to lock me with these two, asserting I was their daughter. So, they wouldn't believe me no matter what I said. The test result will speak for me."
Trenton and Mrs. Gardner looked at each other and nodded.
"That's a good idea." Trenton agreed.
Hayden's brows furrowed, "Amber, did they have a paternity test?"
"Yes," Amber pursed her lips and replied to him.
Hayden was surprised, "Why? She was a crazy woman!"
Amber tapped her finger on the armrest of her wheelchair. "Yes, I don't understand."
Judy wasn't Trenton's daughter, but she took the paternity test. There must be secrets behind this.
Otherwise, Judy would never do this.
Jared was the only one who knew Makayla's secret. He peered down at Amber with narrowed eyes, and opened his mouth to say something, then closed it.
An awkward silence blanketed the room. Even Toby and his wife stood cowering on the side.
They wouldn't speak if these big shots fell into an uncomfortable silence.
The laboratory door opened after quite a while. Violet walked out with Trenton's assistant, followed by a staff member of the institution.
The staff member held a document in his hand. Everyone knew what it was.
Trenton and Mrs. Gardner immediately stood up and urged, "What's the results?"
Amber heard Trenton's words and quickly patted the armrest to remind Hayden. "Judy's test results came out. Quickly!"
