Makayla made a plan to take some of Amber's hair and used a few for the rest. She kept the rest for the future occasion.
She specially clipped the hair on a hairpin and wore it every day. She could take it off on some special occasions like this.
That explained why Makayla refused Jared to help her hide her identity. She felt it was fine with Amber's hair.
But she didn't expect that Hayden would bring Toby and his wife over and that Amber would let them take the paternity test as well.
She was Toby's biological daughter, so the truth would come out any second. So, she couldn't rip out a single of her hair, not even run a blood test.
If Makayla let Trenton take the remaining Amber's hair as samples, then the test result must be 'unmatched'. But everyone would suspect why she wouldn't take the hair or even shift the focus on the hair sample.
So, this was neither a good way to go.
What should she do?
When Makayla was biting her lips in panic, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze.
Makayla looked up with a toss of her head and met Jared's deep, dark eyes.
Instantly, her eyes glowed as if she had seen a savior.
Jared said he could help her, so now it should still be true, right?
Makayla then inhaled a deep breath and shot him an imploring look.
Jared's eyes flickered slightly and he received Makayla's signal.
This woman dared to take the test with Trenton because she had Amber's hair.
But now she was afraid to take her hair to run a test with Toby, so she was begging him to help.
After receiving Makayla's message, Jared nodded for confirmation.
Makayla breathed a huge sigh of relief. She gave a smile as her panic and anxiety gradually faded. "Okay, dad, I'll do it."
As her voice fell, she took a strand of hairs and handed them to Trenton, "Dad, here."
Trenton asked his assistant to find several waterproof bags and put them in separately.
After that, he looked at Amber and Hayden. "See? Makayla had provided her hair. Now it's your turn."
"Hayden," Amber called out to Hayden.
Hayden didn't say anything but let Toby pluck off some hairs and put them into the waterproof bag.
"I will personally take them to several other agencies now." Hayden labeled each of these packs and put them into a large file bag.
"I'll go too. Who knows if you'll have some ulterior motives and turn what was meant to be, into something that isn't." Trenton's words were tinged with irony and bitterness.
"Then Hayden, you go with Mr. Gardner." Amber bit her lip.
She had to prove that Judy was not Trenton's daughter no matter what.
She didn't believe that Judy could bribe all of the institutions.
After Hayden and Trenton left, there were Amber, Jared, Mrs. Gardner, Makayla, Toby, and his wife in the hallway.
Jared checked the time on his watch and spoke as he glanced at Amber, "We should wait in the lounge. I'll have someone to arrange it."
Amber nodded her head in agreement, "Okay."
She didn't want to stay here any longer. Otherwise, they were very much likely to know she couldn't see things.
Jared found the staff to reserve them a lounge before wheeling Amber over.
He didn't care about others.
Jared poured a cup of water for Amber in the lounge. "Have some. Your lips are dry."
"Thanks," Amber stretched out her hand to take the cup.
But she didn't know exactly where the cup was, so she could only fumble in the air.
Jared let out a chuckle and grabbed her hand.
Amber was startled, "What are you doing?"
She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.
