Chapter 5 The Result of the DNA Test!

"No need."

Clifford said coldly, “I’ve only been manipulated once.”

Mrs. Bell felt deeply regretful.

But she understood Clifford's self-restraint. There must have been a reason for being manipulated that year. She also unintentionally learned that her son had someone he liked, but they lost contact due to unknown circumstances.

That was also the reason he didn’t acknowledge Lily.

But a child always needs a mother.

Mrs. Bell snapped back to reality and carried Maggie upstairs, saying, "Little girl, there is an older brother in our family, but he's already asleep. When he wakes up tomorrow, he will play with you..."

After putting the child to sleep, Mrs. Bells left the room and instructed the housekeeper, "Even though Carol is despicable, the child is innocent. Take good care of her."

“Yes Ma’am.”

The housekeeper nodded. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke, "Miss Simmons, using the Bell family's name, has spread a message that you are angry and want Carol's family out of Norbury Cove again."

Mrs. Bell furrowed her brow. As someone who had held a high position for years, she exuded an air of authority even without getting angry. "No wonder Clifford doesn't like her. She's too scheming!"

The housekeeper asked, “Should we clarify the situation?”

Mrs. Bell sighed, "Clarifying the situation would mean humiliating her, and by humiliating her, we would be humiliating Gerard!"

Gerard was the child she had personally been taking care of over the last few years.

Taking into account that Gerard is her grandson, Mrs. Bell wanted to bring Lily and Clifford together for the sake of their child.

Mrs. Bell waved her hand, saying, "Forget it."

Carol caused a scene at the banquet for no reason. It wouldn't be right if there wasn't any punishment.

The next day, Maggie was led downstairs by Mrs. Bells for breakfast. As soon as she descended, she saw a child her age sitting on the couch, and her eyes widened in an instant.

Gerard sat there arrogantly, being the esteemed young master of Norbury Cove, he never showed deference to anyone. He glanced at Maggie.

Hmm, she's quite cute.

Gerard sat up straight, his chin slightly raised. His grandmother informed him that they had a little sister in the house. Although her mother's reputation wasn't good, adult matters shouldn't involve the child.

So, when Maggie greets him later, should he acknowledge her?

Ignoring her... doesn't seem right.

Acknowledging her... according to the servants, her mother offended their grandmother!

While the little one sat there appearing serious, her mind was racing. Just as Gerard was torn, Maggie walked by without even glancing at him.

Gerard: !!

She's so aloof!!

Although she comes from a less reputable background, she doesn't even have the good grace to respect and greet anyone.

In Gerard's mind, he gave her a perfect score.

Little did he know that at this moment, Maggie was lowering her head and silently saying to herself, "He can't see me... He can't see me..."

The world of social anxiety is just that simple!

The Simmon family.

Lily caught a cold and sat on the bed sneezing.

Thinking about last night's catastrophic turn of events, she muttered angrily, "If I had stolen all of her triplets back then, we wouldn't be in this mess today!"

Five years ago, Lily happened to see Clifford and Carol at a hotel.

Afterward, Clifford disappeared, and Carol caused a big fuss by reporting the disappearance to the police. Lily then learned that Carol didn't even know the man from that night and had become pregnant.

So she had her mother keep an eye on Carol, bribe the doctor, and change Carol's prenatal examination from triplets to twins.

Carol was completely oblivious during the cesarean section under general anesthesia.

But Lily never expected that this day would come when everything would be exposed.

Mrs. Simmons furrowed her brow, saying, "Stealing even one almost got her father suspicious. Besides, why would you want triplets? You and Clifford will have your own children in the future. Do you want her three children to fight for the inheritance?"

Lily bit her lip, nearly crying in distress, "But what do we do now?"

Mrs. Simmons comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Carol won't even have contact with Clifford anymore.

"And in a few days, their whole family will disappear from Norbury Cove. I'm going to put pressure on the Lawson family right now, so you can expect good news!"

Inside a three-story villa, Carol woke up on time, did a set of Tai Chi, and sat on the sofa waiting for news from the laboratory on the DNA verification.

"Squeak..."

The door was pushed open, and her mother Pam dragged her exhausted body in. After working overtime all night, the faint makeup couldn’t hide her beautiful almond-shaped face, but her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Carol, Mom wants to share some good news with you!"

Without waiting for a response, she continued, "I secured a major project for the Lawson’s. Your grandmother will definitely reinstate me as the general manager!"

Carol took a sip of goji berry water and coolly responded, "You've said that thirteen times this year. They're just making empty promises to you."

Pam sighed, "Carol, I know you have grievances against your grandmother, but she had no choice but to drive us away back then. In her heart, she hasn't forgotten about us. I've been working at family company all these years, and they give us a monthly allowance..."

"That's because you're competent. If you worked at another company, you would earn much more than that."

Worry appeared on Pam's face, "Don't say that... After all, I'm not her biological child. It's already quite good of your grandmother to treat me this way!"

Carol fell silent.

Pam was actually adopted by Mrs. Lawson.

Originally, Mrs. Lawson was only attracted to her beauty and wanted to use her for a marriage alliance. But unexpectedly, Pam displayed exceptional business capabilities, while her two biological sons were not up to par.

At eighteen, Pam started working at the company and made the business flourish.

Mrs. Lawson then decided she didn't want Pam to marry, so she cut off her numerous suitors and made her marry the background-less and non-famous actor, George.

Five years ago, when Carol's scandal emerged, Mrs. Lawson used the excuse of tarnishing the reputation and affecting the marriage of their cousin to drive them out of Lawson family. She removed Pam from her position as general manager and only gave her a sales role as an act of mercy.

In reality, it was just a way to take away Pam's inheritance rights.

They could make Pam work for the Lawson family without giving her any shares, only symbolically providing a living allowance. Quite a good deal, wasn't it?

Unfortunately, the mother who yearned for a loving family didn't believe in any of this.

Pam even had the audacity to ask Carol, "Carol, if I do even better, will your grandmother let us go back home?"

"It won't happen."

Carol heartlessly shattered her illusion.

At that moment, Pam's phone rang. She casually looked at the caller ID and immediately changed her expression, obediently answering the call.

Answering the call:

“Mom... Should I come back home now?... Okay, I’ll come right away.”

After hanging up, Pam became excited and said, "Carol, I told you that your grandmother isn't that kind of person, but you didn't believe me... Did you see that? Your grandmother is asking me to come home now; she must be planning to reinstate me as the general manager!"

She then spoke seriously, "When I come back as the general manager, you will apologize for slandering your grandmother behind her back!"

After saying that, she anxiously left the house.

Carol was about to chase after her when her phone rang; it was from the DNA testing agency.

The results were in!
