Chapter 203 Paternity Test, Biological Sons
"What file?"
Larkin paused for a moment, nervously saying, "It seems... it seems to be a paternity test report."
Darian's hand holding the bag stopped, feeling a sudden hit to his heart, causing it to tighten.
Cecily, standing silently, remained calm. On her breathtakingly beautiful face, the most indifferent expression was present. Even when she heard the words "paternity test," her expression remained unchanged, evidently already aware.
Darian's eyebrows furrowed.
While Cecily was composed, others were not. Especially Ophelia.
Ophelia lost control of her expression as if she was engulfed in immense fear.
'Paternity test?'
'Who did the paternity test?'
'Who sent the paternity test?'
Ophelia and Tabitha both widened their eyes.
Ophelia suddenly looked at Cecily.
Cecily raised her delicate eyebrows, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
'Cecily!'
'It was Cecily!'
'Cecily secretly went to do the paternity test, intentionally letting Darian know about the child on a day like today.'
Ophelia's lips trembled uncontrollably as countless thoughts flooded her mind when she saw Darian open the leather paper bag. In the end, all her thoughts condensed into one phrase - he must not see it.
Without much thought, Ophelia's mind heated up, and she boldly rushed forward, snatching the bag from Darian's hand and tearing it apart as if she were going mad.
"Ophelia!" Tabitha looked at Ophelia's action in shock, covering her mouth in disbelief.
She was too impulsive.
Darian's attention was completely on the bag, and he didn't notice Ophelia rushing toward him, tearing all the paper. Darian's face instantly darkened. Ophelia acted like a mad person, forcefully grabbing Darian's clothes.
"Darian, don't look, it's fake, the contents inside must be fake, don't believe her, all of this is Cecily's trap, she wants to ruin our engagement banquet," Ophelia said urgently.
Darian gave her a sinister look, "You haven't even seen anything. How do you know it's fake?"
Ophelia's panicked appearance immediately made Darian suspicious.
She denied the results of the paternity test as if she was afraid he would see the results she didn't want him to see.
"Paternity test," someone pronounced each word distinctly.
Ophelia quickly turned around and saw that Evander had already picked up the pieces on the ground.
Ophelia rushed over uncontrollably again, reaching out to snatch the torn paper from Evander's hand.
However, her pupils suddenly contracted at this moment, "What is this? What is this? What is this?"
She suddenly crouched down, frantically picking up the scattered paper pieces on the ground.
However, these pieces of paper did not contain a single word!
How could this be?
Ophelia could not believe it.
She then looked sharply at Larkin, "Didn't you say this was a paternity test? Clearly, there isn't a single word on it."
Larkin smirked, "Miss Ophelia, I said it seemed to be a paternity test."
Larkin emphasized the word "seemed."
The words "paternity test" were written on the cover of the paper!
Ophelia didn't realize the problem yet and quickly turned to Darian again, "Darian, look, I told you it was fake. It's Cecily's conspiracy, it's Cecily's conspiracy!"
Darian lowered his gaze, his eyes devoid of any warmth, already aware of the truth in his heart.
"Yes, it's fake, why are you so nervous?"
"I..." Ophelia's body trembled.
Suddenly, a loud noise rang in her ears.
It was as if something had exploded, and she immediately looked up at Cecily.
An empty paternity test report.
She was nervous...
Ophelia suddenly realized.
It was intentional! It was Cecily's doing!
She had been played by Cecily!
At that moment, Cecily took out a few papers from somewhere and held them in her hand, "What you want to tear up and not let Darian see is this!"
Ophelia widened her eyes and looked at the papers in Cecily's hand. Without any hesitation, she pounced forward, attempting to snatch the paternity test from Cecily's hand.
However, Cecily was prepared, and Ophelia missed, glaring at her angrily, "You played me, Cecily, you played me!"
Cecily played her so much that she was like a crazy person, unable to calm down and think clearly.
Tabitha realized the severity of the situation and quickly stepped forward to stop the irrational Ophelia. "Ophelia shut up."
However, Ophelia, who was consumed by anger, would not listen to reason. "Get out of my way!"
She pushed Tabitha aside and continued to speak to Cecily incessantly.
"So you intentionally played me, huh? How conniving you are! Are you trying to ruin my engagement party?"
When the words were already at her lips, there was no reason for Cecily not to respond.
"Yes, I played you. If you didn't know what was on the paternity test, and if you weren't afraid of Darian finding out, how would I be able to play you?"
It was only now that Ophelia, who was frozen in place, fully reacted.
Her reaction was crucial to Cecily's plan.
If only she could have stayed calm and not tried to stop Darian from seeing it, Cecily's plan would have been thwarted.
Cecily knew what Ophelia was afraid of, and she used her reaction as a stepping stone to make Darian doubt her.
Then, she would present the real test result, adding it to Ophelia's reaction, which would be enough to make Darian skeptical of the previous tests and firmly believe in this paternity test.
'What a cunning plan!'
'Such a cunning plan!'
"Hahaha!"
Ophelia laughed loudly and stubbornly said, "Paternity test? It's fake. Those two children are not Darian's at all."
Cecily smiled gently and walked slowly toward Darian, responding to Ophelia's words in a calm voice, "Yes, if it weren't for your performance, the paternity test in my hands might not have been as credible."
With the preconceived results from the previous tests, Darian might have had doubts if Cecily had presented this test without Ophelia's reaction.
However, Ophelia's reaction was enough for Darian to understand everything.
Cecily raised her hand and pressed the test report into Darian's embrace.
Coldly, she said, "Take a look. Your sons."
