Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1045:

“If she is indeed Tiffany, then it’s clear that the folks from Adagend, Derek included, have plotted against her. But to what end?”

Ignoring the susurrations, Marissa spoke up with resolute clarity. “The surest way to verify my identity is through a DNA paternity test. I’m prepared to undergo this test with my father right here, right now.”

As she concluded, a stunned silence enveloped the room. Korbin, Betty, Denise, and Derek looked at her, their faces etched with disbelief.

“Marissa, do you grasp the gravity of your words?” Derek asked, his voice tinged with incredulity. “You’re not Tiffany, yet you suggest a DNA test with her father? Are you not aware of the madness in your request?”

Korbin and Betty couldn’t hide their disdain, their voices dripping with malice. “Oh, Marissa, your naivety is as deep as ever. You’ve not gleaned a whit of wisdom over these years.”

Denise’s laughter was cold, laced with scorn. “Oh dear Marissa, forever the simple country girl from Adagend. Pretending to be Miss Nash has muddled your mind.”

Marissa met their derision with a cool gaze, then turned to Paul, her voice steady. “Father, this may trouble you somewhat.”

Paul nodded and said to Elvis beside him, “Contact the most trustworthy testing agency in Blebert.”

“Right away, sir,” Elvis said, moving to execute the task.

With Elvis on his mission, Paul swept his sharp gaze across the room, eventually fixing it on Korbin, Betty, and Denise. “Mark my words, if the DNA test proves she’s my daughter, the repercussions for your slander will be dire.”

The trio momentarily faltered but quickly regained their poise, clinging to their belief that Marissa was just an impostor, not Tiffany. In their minds, the impending test would vindicate them, perhaps even earn them gratitude from Paul.

Buoyed by this belief, they indulged in smug fantasies of forthcoming rewards from Paul.

Paul, wasting no further breath on these buffoons, turned his steely gaze to Derek. “Mr. Derek Daniels, your familial connections will not shield you if it’s proven you’ve maligned my daughter.”

Derek rushed to clarify, his words earnest. “Mr. Alvarado, I would never mistake someone else for Marissa. We were childhood sweethearts in Adagend, once even betrothed. I know her as I know my own soul. The woman before us now is a charlatan, without a doubt.”

Paul sneered and remained silent.noveldrama

Before long, Elvis returned with a doctor from Blebert’s most reputable DNA testing agency.

Paul inquired of the doctor, “How quickly can we expect the results?”

“We can have them within an hour,” the doctor answered.

Paul nodded approvingly and extended his arm.

The doctor collected blood from Paul and then from Marissa before rushing the samples back to the lab.

During the anxious wait in the banquet hall, no one spoke; all were poised on the edge of their seats, eager for the verdict.

Fortunately, the hour passed swiftly. Soon, a representative from the testing agency arrived and handed the sealed results directly to Paul.
