Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1046:

In front of the assembled crowd, Paul opened the envelope. He briefly scanned the contents and then passed it to Elvis. “Please, read the conclusion of this report to everyone.”

“Yes, Mr. Alvarado,” Elvis responded.

He took the document and announced, “The DNA test confirms that the two individuals tested are indeed father and daughter by blood.”

This time, the crowd didn’t erupt into whispers or gasps as they had previously. Instead, they exchanged looks. Now that the truth was laid bare, they calmed down.

However, Korbin, Betty, Denise, and Derek stood there, utterly flabbergasted. They could hardly believe what they had just heard.

Aelfric, Chloe, and their group felt a similar shock. They had orchestrated a meticulous plan to unmask Marissa as a fraud, yet the results defied their every expectation.

“How is this possible?” Betty blurted out, her voice tinged with disbelief. “She was raised by us as a simple country girl, Marissa. How can she possibly be Mr. Alvarado’s daughter?”

“This can’t be right,” Denise interjected. “Could there be an error in the DNA report? Or perhaps someone has meddled with the results?”

Denise had just finished speaking when Paul roared, “How dare you?!”

Standing next to him, Elvis raised his hand and delivered a sharp slap to Denise’s face. The sound of the slap echoed, making everyone wince.

“Ouch!” Denise exclaimed, collapsing to the floor in pain.

Despite his slender frame, Elvis was obviously strong. His slap dislodged two of Denise’s front teeth, and her face swelled up alarmingly.

Silence engulfed the entire banquet hall, and a heavy tension filled the air.

Although people were familiar with the reputation of Paul, the fearsome owner of the Sunrise, this was the first time they saw the extent of his terrifying presence. Paul had merely shouted, yet that alone heightened everyone’s sense of danger. Nobody dared to act rashly. Denise lay on the floor, too overwhelmed to even cry. She experienced a dizzy spell, then… everything went black. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Korbin and Betty were so terrified they couldn’t speak or move. Paul, on the other hand, wore a grim expression. Meanwhile, Elvis glared down at Denise and snapped, “You fool! How dare you doubt the authenticity of the test report? Are you suggesting Mr. Alvarado doesn’t know his own daughter?”

“Exactly! If Mr. Alvarado acknowledges the report, it must be true. He wouldn’t acknowledge the wrong person as his daughter,” one person in the crowd said.

Betty hesitantly raised her hand and pointed at Marissa. “But she really is the little village girl we raised.”

“Ma’am, I’ve already told you who I am. I’m Tiffany Nash, and I don’t know you. Who put you up to this slander?”

“I…” Betty faltered. For a moment, she was unsure if the person in front of her was really Marissa.

Korbin, too, began to question himself. He leaned in and whispered to Betty, “The paternity test confirms she’s Tiffany. Could we really have mistaken her identity?”

Betty studied Marissa closely and whispered back, “But she looks so much like Marissa.”
