Chapter 948 Want to See Daughter
Winnie nodded, her expression icy as she looked at her best friend. "Olivia, your feelings for him weren't just a fluke; they were meant to be! You guys were so close back then, you couldn't forget each other for three years.
Jeremy! Olivia had your child a long time ago!
Back then, because of Lynn and Darcy's schemes, you had no idea what was really going on. For three years, Lynn kept you in the dark about that night.
And Olivia, she probably didn't dare to hope it was you, even though Mia started to look more and more like a DeRoss... But then Lynn spread the rumor that it was Sam who assaulted her that night, making her feel even more ashamed.
So three years later, when Sam brought a paternity test, no one doubted it. Olivia thought it was settled, and even we believed so!
I only started to suspect recently because of Lynn's sneaky behavior.
Now that the truth is out, you two need to face each other honestly. Mia is your child!"
"That's ridiculous!" Louis frowned, listening to their confrontation. After a moment of thought, he couldn't believe it was such a coincidence.
His sharp eyes fixed on Winnie, suspecting she might be making up a story to save her friend and deceive him.
Louis snorted coldly. "No need to make up stories to get me to approve their marriage.
If Mia is really Jeremy's biological child, then Ms. Anderson, where's your so-called authoritative paternity test?"
"I wouldn't dare tell you all this without having it!" Winnie knew Louis wouldn't believe her easily. He was a shrewd man and wouldn't trust her without proof.
So she had to wait for the physical report to be presented to Louis in person, leaving him with no arguments. She wanted to clear Olivia's name and fight for her happiness.
The stamped original document was crucial.
She took out her phone to contact Ray. With his abilities, he should have dealt with Lynn's lackeys by now.
"Mr. Martin..." Ray answered the call.
As Winnie spoke, a sports car screeched to a halt at the bay's entrance. Ray jumped out with his long legs and ran towards them, his chiseled face showing excitement. "I got it!"
Ray held up the slightly torn document. Seeing this, Louis pointed a gun at Jeremy, his heart pounding. He frowned and shouted, "Mr. DeRoss, please calm down!
Jeremy has every reason to marry Olivia; she's the mother of his child!
I anticipated you two would clash, so I rushed over with this!"
Jeremy stared at the paternity test, his heart pounding.
A genuine test? Winnie actually did a test for him and Mia.
So, it couldn't be fake.
The deep emotions hidden in his eyes finally erupted as he looked at Olivia. "Olivia... you had a daughter for me so long ago. Should I apologize?"
His voice was hoarse.
Olivia looked at his clear glasses, his eyes no longer frivolous.
Her expression was dazed, but her heart was overwhelmed with countless grievances and sorrow.
For three years, she had lived in hiding, her reputation in shambles, cloaked in darkness.
But now, Mia's background was legitimate.
"It was you that night... If I had known, I wouldn't have suffered for so many years." She collapsed, squatting down.
Winnie ran over to help her up, turning to the sweaty Ray. "Mr. Martin, thank you for your help. Please show the paternity test to Mr. DeRoss."
"Here, take a look." Ray opened the partially torn envelope, frowning as he walked to the still-stunned Louis. "It was almost destroyed, but I managed to keep the official stamp intact.
Look at the name written by Trento City Medical School, Jeremy.
The final paternity test result was a 99.9% DNA match.
It's Jeremy's daughter, no doubt! Mr. DeRoss."
Louis recognized the information, his sharp eyes unable to hide his astonishment as he carefully examined it.
Though partially torn, the stamp from Trento City Medical School was genuine.
This was a legitimate paternity test.
"Could it be... Mia is really Jeremy's biological child?" Louis clutched the test papers, flipping to find Mia's name. Suddenly, Jeremy couldn't hold back and snatched the papers!
He slowly pressed them to his chest, his thin lips tightly pressed, closing his long, narrow eyes. "She's my child, Father. She looks so much like me, there's no doubt...
But Olivia and I knew nothing about that night, so we were deceived.
Sam played a role in deceiving me, and he's always been up to no good. This time... I won't let him and Lynn get away with it!"
Jeremy's face was filled with a chilling aura.
He took a deep breath, turning to Ray, eagerly asking, "Ray, where's Mia? I want to see her. This little one has suffered so much because of me!"
Olivia heard his gentle voice and burst into tears. She looked up, tightly holding Winnie's hand. "Mia always dreamed he was her dad, and now it's true...
Mia has always been sensitive, but stubborn and mature for her age. She's suffered so much, Winnie. I failed her by being so slow to realize Lynn and Sam were deceiving me..."
"It's not your fault, Olivia. Even Laura and I didn't see it coming. How could you, being in the middle of it, figure it out? Lynn's plan was flawless, and fate played a cruel joke, making Jeremy forget that night."
Winnie comforted her, smiling through her tears. "But now it's all good. Mia's future is bright. She's Jeremy's daughter, and you don't have to worry about Jeremy not accepting her. He'll probably become a doting dad! Look at how regretful he is now!
He owes you both so much; he'll have to make it up to you.
Ray has Mia. Mr. Martin, bring Mia over so her dad and grandpa can see her!"
Winnie turned to Ray.
Ray glanced at the remorseful Jeremy and laughed. "Now you want to see Mia? I told you, you'd regret it."
"Cut the crap. Where is she?" Jeremy's face was tense as he looked past Ray. "In your car?"
