Kathryn looked at Mrs. Stone, and without beating around the bush, she said directly: “I am the daughter of Farrell’s family in Jensburg, but I just returned to Farrell’s family a year ago. The former daughter of Farrell’s family was a counterfeit. After reading some past history of the Farrell family, I know that Mrs. Stone is also surnamed Farrell, and I want to ask Mrs. Stone to verify my suspicions, so I take the liberty to come here to disturb you.”
Mrs. Stone remained silent, waiting for Kathryn to continue.
Kathryn: “I want to do a blood test with Mrs. Stone to find an answer to my doubts.”
If Mrs. Stone was the daughter of her aunt, she and Mrs. Stone would be cousin. They could test their DNA to see if they were related by blood.
Mrs. Stone didn’t expect Kathryn to propose a DNA blood relationship test.
Kathryn continued: “My mom and I also took a DNA test, and I kept a copy of the results here. Mrs. Stone and I can also take a blood test to see if we are related. We can tell if Mrs. Stone is part of our Farrell family by comparing the two.”
She and Mrs. Stone could do a blood test, but it would be better to compare their DNA with that of her mother. That would at least show that Mrs. Stone and she had the same blood.
It could also indirectly show that there was a high probability that Mrs. Stone and her mother were sisters.
Mrs. Stone looked at Kathryn quietly. After a long time, she asked Kathryn: “Ms. Farrell came here secretly without telling your family? Do you know what you are doing? After you make this decision, how much impact will it have? Ms. Farrell, are you clear in your heart?”
Kathryn proposed to do a blood relationship test with her, and Mrs. Stone was willing to cooperate.
But Kathryn was the biological daughter of the head of the Farrell family, and maybe she would be the head of the Farrell family in the future. If Kathryn did this, she would probably lose her job as the head of the Farrell family.
Mrs. Stone wanted to see if Kathryn was sincere or not.
Even though Kathryn didn’t grow up with her parents, she had the powerful genes of Matriarch Farrell running through her body. Who knew if Kathryn would grow up to be as cruel as her mother?
Kathryn met Mrs. Stone’s gaze calmly, and said, “Mrs. Stone, I am already twenty-eight years old. I am mature in thinking and have my own ideas. I know exactly what I am doing. I admit that I came here secretly. My mother didn’t know that I came here. I also know the consequences of my decision, but I still want to verify it. I don’t want things that don’t belong to me!”
What Kathryn meant was that if Mrs. Stone was proved to be her cousin, then she would return the Farrell family to Mrs. Stone.
