The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 812

Julia tugged on Gary's sleeve and asked, "What should we do?"

"What if this information is fake?" Gary responded.

Gary felt his heart sink as he thought of what he had done to Jessica and Casper. But he reassured himself—Ruby would never have the nerve to pull such a scheme.

Gary continued, "Let's try to meet Ruby and get some hair samples of her baby for a DNA test."

Feeling the weight in her chest, Julia murmured, "That's our only choice, I guess."

Julia called Ruby, forcing a smile to sound normal. Julia asked, "Hey Ruby, where are you? I miss Lucas…"

Ruby cheerfully replied, "We're not too far from where you are. Should we visit?"

"Sure!"

After hanging up, Julia put her phone aside and turned to Gary. She asked, "If Lucas is not related to us, what should we do?"

Gary said icily, "Pay them back for their lies, of course! If she dared to trick me, she should bear the consequences as well!"

Ruby came from an average family, but that also meant Gary could easily attack them. Julia understood that, too, but she was more concerned about something else.

Gary still believed that everything was under his control, but Julia thought otherwise.

"But she's been divorced from Casper for years. She even brought Cody into her marriage with another man," she noted.

Gary calmly replied, "It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to come back to us. We can always file a lawsuit for Cody's custody. Even if she makes a lot of money, how much can that be? If we can prove to the judges that we are wealthier and that we can provide a better environment for the kid…"
