Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 395

Treyton was speechless. He could only turn to Kieran and said, “Kieran, you should look at it.”

Kieran then stood up to take the paternity test report before perusing it carefully.

The end of the report stated that the two had no biological relationship, and there was even Salinsburgh’s Grand Valley Hospital’s seal and the hospital director’s handprint on the page.

“Grand Valley Hospital’s director is Alban Quentin. He’s my teacher, and he has a good relationship with Dad. He signed this himself this time, so it’s… unlikely that it’s faked.”

Unlikely that it’s faked?

Those words struck Treyton and Sienna’s hearts like a sledgehammer.

Lorelai was delighted, and she never bothered hiding her joy from the others.

However, Gwendolyn did not seem to be concerned about the paternity test. All she did was stare at Asher, who was sitting on the couch in grim silence.

“Asher, you don’t look surprised. Did you already know about this a long time ago?”

“Not exactly a long time ago. I was the first to come back when the accident happened, and I immediately looked into the reason he fell down the stairs, so I learned about this only a few hours earlier than you.”

Gwendolyn then raked her gaze across everyone’s faces and took in their expressions. “Kieran says that this report can’t be faked, and there is the hospital director’s handprint on it. So, does that mean that everyone believes I’m not one of the Harrises?”

Her mother was faithful to her father. Even though she did not know where this paternity test came from, she had trust in her mother.

There was no way her mother would betray her father, let alone cheat on him and have a child after marrying him.

No matter what Evelyn said, Gwendolyn was not going to believe her.

Everyone fell silent again.

Treyton took the report and read it again and again as if he was in disbelief.

However, even his determination began to waver after he was done reading it.

Asher then sighed and said, “Let’s keep this private for now, but we’re canceling tomorrow’s signing of the inheritance. Kieran, focus on Dad’s physical health and help him recover. If there’s a chance for surgery, as long as it’s not too risky, we’ll take it. We need Dad to wake up as soon as possible. Treyton, set aside the affairs of your entertainment company for now. Come back to the Harris family and learn how to manage the company from me.”

“Of course,” Kieran and Treyton answered in unison.

Although Asher did not lift his head to look at Gwendolyn, his words were meant for her when he said, “Kiddo… You’re pregnant, so don’t worry too much. Go back and rest well. I’ll have someone manage Angle for you. Just stay at home and rest for a few days. We’ll talk about this again once I settle the Harris family’s matters.”

Gwendolyn was not at all surprised by his plan. She sneered and said, “Everyone now thinks that I’m not one of the Harrises, so you’re trying to undermine my right to speak in the Harris family. That way, you can kick me out of the family easier in the future, right?”

Even though Gwendolyn had a smile on her face when she said that, shivers were running down her spine.

The brothers she adored would rather believe a piece of paper over her.

Asher did not retort to that, and Kieran did not speak.

Treyton said, “Kiddo, I didn’t mean that. I just…”

Yet, he knew not how to explain to her.

Gwendolyn rose to her feet and gently smoothened the creases of her skirt. In a mocking tone, she said, “Since there’s a possibility that I’m not the Harris family’s daughter, it doesn’t seem appropriate for me to take part in the Harris family’s meeting.”

She turned and left, but she paused in her tracks just as she reached the doorway. “As it turns out, the relationship we share for the past twenty years or so is nothing in comparison to this piece of paper. My identity as a daughter of the Harris family means nothing, too. I see. Very well.”

Sienna quickly stood up and explained, “Gwen, don’t be angry! Your brothers just find it hard to accept the truth, that’s all. Even if you’re not the Harris family’s daughter, you’re still our sister! Your brothers… just need some time to digest the idea!”

Alas, Gwendolyn did not turn around as she left the villa without hesitation.

Just as she left the house, a set of footsteps sounded out behind her.
