NovelAppChapter 117 Anthea slid into the booth across from her new lab partner and extended her hand with a friendly grin. “Hey there, I'm Anthea Yeager. We're gonna be deskmates for a while. Let's make the best of it, okay?” Her deskmate looked up, clearly taken aback by the gesture, but quickly recovered and shook her hand with a grip as delicate as a whisper. “I'm Tanya,” she squeaked.
Meanwhile, across town in Capital City within a stately villa.
“Boss, the results from the DNA tests you ordered are in.” The assistant handed out two envelopes to Jonah Lindsay.
Jonah trembled his hands as he tore open the envelopes, his eyes searching for answers amidst the typed letters. As he read, the light In his eyes dimmed rapidly, and the papers slipped from his grasp onto the floor.

Just then, footsteps approached from outside. Before Jonah could scramble to collect the fallen papers, the door swung open and in strolled J- Jonah’s mom. She bent down and picked up the DNA test results. “You had tests done abroad? Do you think | would deceive you? In your heart, do you seeas a liar? If Rebecca is indeed your daughter, wouldn't | acknowledge her?” Jwas beside herself with frustration.
Even now, Jonah still harbored illusions about Carole.
Jhad vehemently opposed Jonah'’s relationship with Carole from the beginning. The social chasm between them was, after all, immense.
When Carole gave birth, Jknew nothing of the twins. She had taken the firstborn child and it wasn’t until seventeen years later that she accidentally discovered Carole had been pregnant with twins.
But upon seeing the other child, Jthought the child looked nothing like Jonah, nor like his twin brother.
Seeking confirmation, she consulted a doctor.
The doctor had explained that fraternal twins could have different fathers, and to prevent any unforeseen consequences, Jhad secretly had a DNA test conducted. Her intuition had been correct. The results confirmed Rebecca was not Jonah'’s child.
It meant Carole had been unfaithful.

When Jonah first saw the results, he was in utter disbelief. Carole, in his memories, was a beautiful and kind soul.
So, three months ago, he went to Cloudcrest himself, and managed to get a sample of the child's hair to ensure no tampering from Jback home. He had tests done in five different countries.
All five reports cback the same. The child shared no genetic ties with him.
Jsighed deeply, “Jonah, listen to me, please. Carole was a charmer, not worth your agony. You loved her so deeply and gave her so much. What did you get in return? It's been years and it’s tyou lived for yourself!” “Mom, enough,” Jonah was unreadable. “I know what I'm doing.” Jpersisted, “Gerard needs a mother, and you need a wife. | think Edna would be a good match. She's been loyal to you for years “Mom, | don’t have those kinds of feelings for Edna. If you don’t want history to repeat itself, please stop bringing this up.”
