Chapter 1292 Confirming They Are Biological Mother and Daughter
The dining room went dead quiet all of a sudden.
Mabel and Cameron shot each other a look, both getting the drift of what she was saying.
Yeah, they had to admit, Cassie had a point.
"Cassie, I'm really sorry," Mabel said, feeling both crushed and guilty, "Joseph owes you big time. You've given up the most and been the most patient in this whole mess."
"Mabel, no one owes anyone. Maybe it's just fate throwing curveballs at us. Falling in love is easy, but keeping it smooth? That's the real challenge."
The more Cassie talked, the more bummed out she got. Every time she thought happiness was around the corner, life threw her another curveball.
Cassie got up and left, head hanging low.
Mabel and Cameron were left in shock.
Falling in love is easy, but keeping it smooth is hard.
Weren't Cassie's words true for them too?
But compared to Cassie and Joseph, they were a bit luckier. At least they could still sit down for a meal together.
"What do you think?" Mabel asked bitterly, looking at Cameron.
"Let's do what she said. Think about it, it's really unfair. Joseph has hurt her way more than he's made her happy. Joseph might be a fool, but what about Cassie? She still has to run his company, take care of his kid, and even look after him. With David and Megan causing trouble, no one can help her. It's really tough for a young woman like her to keep going," Cameron said, lighting a cigarette.
"But Joseph won't agree to this," Mabel said, feeling a headache coming on.
"He has to agree, whether he likes it or not. He can't expect Cassie to take care of him forever," Cameron said firmly.
At the hospital.
Isabella was yelling through an iron door, "Declan, you jerk! How dare you lock me up? Why didn't I see you were a jerk before?"
"I want a divorce! Let me out!"
"I want to see Olivia! What did you do to Olivia? Are you trying to kill me?"
Declan stood at the door, his handsome face full of sorrow.
He clenched his fists, feeling immense pain.
Seeing Isabella like this, he wished he could take out Olivia's body and whip it a few more times.
His eyes were filled with sadness.
Declan didn't even know how he managed to walk out of the hospital with such a sinking heart.
"Mr. Wittelsbach, didn't you have your men take Mrs. Wittelsbach and Sophia's hair back to Neya City for a paternity test last time?" Declan's assistant quickly approached and said, "The results are out. Here, take a look."
Declan took the phone and saw that Sophia and Isabella were not biological mother and daughter. They had done a grandparentage test, and their relationship was naturally not 99% matched. However, using genetics and biology analysis, the top hospital in the Wittelsbach family found a 50% match between them.
Sophia was definitely Isabella's biological granddaughter.
The assistant said angrily, "We've really been fooled by Olivia. It seems the hair Everett took for the test before was probably Cassie's. I had someone check the hotel where Olivia stayed when she first came to Neya City. The staff said she got the hair from a comb while cleaning, not from her head."
"It's not Everett's fault. Who would've guessed?"
Declan squinted, thinking, 'What a sneaky plot!'
"Mr. Wittelsbach, should I tell Mrs. Wittelsbach about this?" the assistant asked, unsure.
"Would she even believe it?" Declan sneered, "She doesn't trust me at all now. She'd probably think I faked it to ditch her and marry Cassie."
The assistant sighed, "Who knows how long it'll take for her to get better."
"They say about six months for a full recovery," Declan said, rubbing his temples. "I feel the doctors here aren't as good as those in the Wittelsbach family. I'm planning to send her back to Neya City early."
"That's a good idea. Keeping Mrs. Wittelsbach here is like having a ticking time bomb. If she finds out Olivia is dead, it'll be a big problem," the assistant said, "By the way, I checked. Legally, Olivia is still the daughter of Robert and his wife. According to the laws here, if Olivia dies, Robert can inherit her shares. The couple has already arrived in Whisperlyn City. It's said that the Hernandez Group will hold a board meeting tomorrow, and I suspect they will announce Robert as the new chairman."
Declan looked disgusted and said, "They can't even run a small renovation company properly, and they want to be the chairman of the top group in Madison?"
"Yeah, and they're spending Mrs. Wittelsbach's money. Robert and his family are really shameless. If we had more people available, I would've had them taken care of long ago," the assistant said angrily.
Hearing this, Declan frowned deeply.
He had already notified his people in Neya City to come over, but the embassy had been delaying their visas, so his people couldn't get on the plane.
He asked someone to investigate and found out that the embassy staff were relatives of the Dixon family, who were blocking his people.
"I personally called Carl, and there's still no progress?" he asked coldly.
"Mr. Jude just took over the matters in Madison. He handed the diplomatic affairs to Ralph. Now it's all Ralph's people. He scolded Ralph, but Ralph insisted that our people had problems and wouldn't let them in."
"Ralph, very good," Declan said with a cold smile, "I never thought I'd be held back by a few nobodies. I can't do anything to him domestically, but abroad, it's all my people. Contact our people outside and spare no effort to mess with David's business abroad. And aren't the Dixon family members so cocky overseas? They better not come back."
The assistant reminded him, "But Everett is in their hands."
"Don't worry. Everett is their safeguard. At most, they'll cut off a few of his fingers and send them to me after this is over," Declan said expressionlessly, "It's just a few fingers. He brought this on himself by being dumb enough to get caught."
The assistant stayed silent.
He could only silently feel sorry for Everett.
"By the way, let's crash the Hernandez Group's board meeting tomorrow. Olivia spent Isabella's money, and the Brooks family wants to take it over? Dream on," Declan said, his eyes filled with anger.
