Chapter 869
"I... I..." Juliet trembled all over, unable to utter a single word.
The evidence was laid out before her what could she possibly say?
She wasn't a Cooper. She wasn't the cherished daughter of the family anymore.
What future did she have left?
"Dad, this paternity test is questionable. We should do it again to prevent any tampering," Gavin suggested calmly.
Wilfried, staring at Juliet's now unfamiliar face, turned and said, "You handle it."
"Understood," Gavin replied.
Unlike Gernard, who had always doted on Juliet, Gavin was cold and distant.
Now that they knew Juliet wasn't their sister and had committed so many vile deeds, his demeanor toward her grew even colder. He swiftly made the necessary arrangements, while Juliet was locked away.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Gernard sat on the sofa, dazed. "If Juliet isn't our sister, then who is?"
Wilfried's gaze drifted to a photograph on the wall. It was of a graceful woman in an evening gown, smiling warmly at the camera.
"Suzy, I've found the wrong daughter. Juliet isn't ours. From where you are, can you tell me where our real daughter is?"
Judith watched all of this, her fingernails digging painfully into her palms. She had been married into the Cooper family for ten years, yet she had never truly entered Wilfried's heart. Even the two brothers treated her with indifference. It wasn't worth it at all.
The new paternity test would take some time, but the Coopers had already begun searching far and wide for their real daughter. Every move they made was quickly known to Lucas and Aveline.
"The paternity test will take three days," Lucas said. "Do you want to go to Larbor City now?"
Aveline nodded. "I'll go and see for myself."
Three days would give her time to explore Larbor City before the results came out. Then, they could see what the Cooper family decided.
The flight to Larbor City only took a few hours, and by the time they landed, the sun was setting.
Lucas took Aveline to try a variety of local dishes, but surprisingly, the gourmet cheeses and escargotshe used to love didn't appeal to ber anymore.
Lucas smiled at Aveline. "What's this? Have you changed your tastes just for me?" Aveline glanced at him, her expression indifferent. "You wish."
Her change in taste had nothing to do with him-it was because she was pregnant. These days, she craved spicy and sweet foods, and at that moment, she was enjoying a small piece of cake.
Lucas couldn't resist leaning in to kiss her softly on the cheek, asking, "Ave, when are we getting remarried?"
Aveline replied, "You're still on probation."
Lucas sighed. "And how long is this probation going to last?"
Aveline calmly answered, "Until I'm satisfied."
Lucas could only sigh inwardly-there was no deadline.
But it didn't matter.
They were together now, and she could observe him for the rest of their lives if she wanted.
Three days later, the results of the paternity test were in.
Juliet was indeed not Wilfried's daughter.
During those three days, the Cooper family had failed to find any trace of their real daughter.
Once the paternity test results were out, the Cooper family immediately issued a public statement disassociating themselves from Juliet. Afterward, they handed her over to the police.
With the number of crimes she had committed, she would spend the rest of her life behind bars.
Despite this, the Cooper family remained under a cloud of gloom.
Gernard had grown disheveled,
unable to accept that the sister he had
relata Verished all these years wasn't
to him, and worse, had such
a malicious heart.
Gavin walked over, giving him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Face the reality, Gernard. What matters now is finding our real sister."
