Chapter 733
The Bradford family elders rose from their seats in unison!
All the big shots got up at once!
Gideon tried and tried again, wishing he could rise from his wheelchair!
The rest of the Bradford family looked on, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets!
"How, how is this possible?!"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Elysia snorted coldly, "How is it not possible? The truth is right before your eyes!"
Allegra's breathing became erratic,
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! You must have done something to the child's face, it didn't look like this just a moment ago! Is this kid wearing a fake mask or something? Let me see!"
Allegra rudely reached out for Evan, but Tarquin pushed her away with a quick move!
Allegra stumbled and fell to the ground, Tarquin didn't even glance at her.
He walked over to Evan, knelt down, and looked at him up close...
His heart pounded!
His breathing was rapid and uneasy!
He looked at Evan in disbelief, his chest heaving!
Even Verity Bradford, who had been silent, completely lost her composure, her eyebrows knitted together in shock!
The room fell silent for a long time, until someone suddenly spoke up,
"There are plenty of look-alikes in the world without any blood relation! Just because they look similar doesn't mean they're father and son! Who knows if they've used some high-tech trickery!"
"Right! Everyone has a nose, a mouth, two eyes; looking alike doesn't prove anything!"
Verity let out a sigh of relief, she too thought it impossible for Tarquin and Evan to be father and son!
After all, the Bradford family had a tradition of single heirs, how could it all fall apart at Elijah's generation?
Absolutely impossible!
So, with a steady demeanor, Verity spoke,
"I have here a paternity test between him and Ms. Thorne's son."
Everyone immediately turned to look at her, "?!?"
Ever since she knew Tarquin was planning to add a few children to the Bradford family tree, Verity had found ways to bribe the hospital staff for the children's samples.
Then, she managed to get a sample from Tarquin and secretly conducted the paternity test.
She was prepared for today, in case Tarquin insisted these children were his biological sons.
But since Tarquin didn't use that argument, she hadn't brought out the test results.
Unexpectedly, although Tarquin kept silent, Elysia suddenly brought it up, making the test results useful after all!
A paternity test is the most authoritative proof!
If the test results show they're not father and son, Elysia's arguments would be useless!
Verity explained to Tarquin,
"Sorry, when I heard your grandfather say you wanted to add a few kids to the family tree, I thought, being as smart as you are, you wouldn't do such a thing unless these kids were really related to you by blood. So, out of curiosity, I went behind your backs and did the paternity test.
I just got the results this morning, look, the seal isn't even broken, I haven't seen the results myself. I did it out of curiosity, with no other intentions. If Ms. Thorne hadn't suddenly come over to talk about this, I wouldn't have brought it out.
A paternity test is the best way to prove the truth. Do you want to open it in front of everyone?"
Verity, usually low-key and gentle to everyone, actually had many tricks up her sleeve!
Before Tarquin could speak, Elysia suddenly praised Verity sincerely,
"You actually did the paternity test in advance, that's great! I didn't have time to arrange this with the sudden developments, you're really a good person."
Verity: "......"
Elysia reached for the paternity test, but Verity didn't hand it over.
Verity was worried Tarquin wouldn't agree to check the results in public.
What if he destroyed the results, and later produced a fake?
After all, it would be easy for Tarquin to forge it later.
But this test was arranged by her personally; it couldn't be faked!
Verity directly handed the paternity test to Keaton Huber's father,
"For fairness, let's have a third party open it."
Richard Huber, of course, sided with Tarquin. He took the test results, his expression complex as he looked at Tarquin.
If it turned out they weren't related, it would be hard to deal with the aftermath!
Tarquin was anxious, looking at Elysia.
Elysia stood firm, "Open it!"
Tarquin then nodded to Richard.
Keaton's father took a deep breath and opened the envelope in front of everyone, pulling out the test report...
Everyone focused intently on him, their hearts in their throats!
Only Elysia and Evan remained calm, even little Elijah furrowed his brow, worried the test might have been tampered with!
"Good Lord!" Richard suddenly exclaimed, his eyes wide in shock.
Everyone's heart jumped, "What does it say?"
Richard didn't look at anyone else but stared, his hands trembling with excitement, at Tarquin,
"You, you, you rascal! You've made it big! He's really your son! The test results show a DNA match of 99.9999%, confirming a father-son relationship!"
