"How could this happen…" Amber gripped the phone in her hand, and there was a tinge of sadness in her voice.
She was determined to lay, Judy, bare, yet the truth was against her.
Judy was really Trenton's biological daughter!
"Could the results go wrong?" Amber bit her lip.
But she knew very well that it was a slim chance of getting all the reports wrong.
How could several agencies make the same mistake?
Hayden shook his head. "Impossible. There are two official agencies, so neither Judy nor Trenton couldn't intervene in the test."
Speaking of which, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Amber, maybe Judy is the real Makayla, and we find her by chance."
Amber did not speak anymore, dropping her eyelids in thought.
Hayden continued, "Trenton is coming to you with the test results. I guess he will make a fuss, but you can rest assured that I won't let him succeed."
Trenton couldn't mess with Hayden no matter how much he wanted, because Hayden was someone he couldn't afford to piss off. He had to vent his anger out on Amber.
Amber pursed her red lips, "Don't worry. I can handle it."
After that, she put down the phone.
Jared took her phone over but the call ended. His eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "What did you say to Hayden?"
Amber rubbed her cheeks. "The results came out. Judy isn't Toby Lashley's daughter. We got the real Makayla."
She laughed at herself.
Jared looked at her and the apologetic feeling was killing him.
But soon, he squeezed his fist to calm himself down, and whispered, "Is that so …"
"Yes," Amber tilted her head and sighed, "What a dramatic world, isn't it?"
Someone was hammering on the door violently before Jared could speak. The visitor was impatient and restless outside.
"Open the door! Amber, open the damn door!" Trenton's voice came from the other side of the door. He sounded undisguisedly smug and happy.
Trenton came to Amber as Hayden expected.
Amber clenched her fist and said, "Mr. Farrell, please help me back to the wheelchair. I need to open the door."
"I'll go," Jared pressed her shoulder and walked towards the door.
Jared opened the door.
Trenton thought it was Amber. He swung his arm to slap the stack of test reports on her face, but they ended up on Jared's expressionless face. He immediately apologized, "Mr. Farrell, I'm sorry. Why are you here?"
How come he hadn't left?
Jared loosened his grip on the door handle and leveled his icy stare at him and the stack of reports in his hand. He said with a forced smile, "What are you looking for Amber?"
"You tell me!" Trenton snorted, "What else can I do? Didn't she say that Makayla wasn't my daughter? Now the test results are out and I'm looking for her to settle the score. Mr. Farrell, this is between the Gardner family and Amber. I hope you can stay away with it."
"Are you threatening me?" Jared raised his eyebrows.
