Marguerite froze, her body seemingly refusing to obey her commands as she almost crumbled to the ground.
"Did you get Maurice's DNA sample?"
"Yeah, got it last night."
"How did you manage that?"
Frederick smirked, "I have my ways."
Marguerite's emotions were a rollercoaster. She hadn't expected Frederick to move so quickly.
The man tilted the smartphone screen towards Marguerite's eyes: "Take a look for yourself."
In a flash, Marguerite instinctively shut her eyes, turning away immediately.
"I can't look, just tell me."
She was both eager and fearful of the result.
Afraid she wouldn't get the answer she hoped for since she found out Maurice
had supposedly had a vasectomy, she had been overjoyed.
But with high hopes comes the potential for greater disappointment.

Marguerite bit her nails in anxiety, but Frederick gently turned her to face him squarely.
"Sthings you just have to face, right?"
Face what exactly?
Could it be that the results in his hand were set to disappoint her?
Marguerite glanced at Frederick's solid arms, his broad palm clutching the phone with a sense of authority.
Regardless, she had to face it.
She took a deep breath, pulled the phone from his grasp, and looked at it closely with wide eyes.
"This is so complicated, | can't understand it!"
Marguerite was trembling with urgency, then she heard Frederick's indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion.
"The results show that Teresa and Maurice have a biological connection. In other words, Teresa is Maurice's
child."
Marguerite's head shot up, seeing Frederick's face bathed in the soft glow of the sunset, looking warm and
beautiful.
But Marguerite's heart went cold.
Just as she feared.
One moment in heaven, the next in hell.
"Daphne lied to me!"
"If she told you, she knew you'd find a way to get a paternity test. Lying would be pointless."
"So how do you explain these results?"
Marguerite was confused.
If Daphne hadn't lied, then how could the paternity test be explained?
Could Maurice have frozen his sperm before the vasectomy?
Marguerite wasn't a doctor, but she knew the basics.
Frozen sperm needs to be placed into a woman's womb through IVF to fertilize.
But she had never undergone such a procedure!
In those few seconds, Marguerite considered all possible explanations, but none made sense.
She looked blankly at Frederick, whose expression was as calm as a placid lake. "It's simple, Maurice tampered
with it."
Marguerite didn't fully understand: "But he didn't even know we were checking!" Could it be Frederick disturbed
Maurice when obtaining the DNA sample?

Marguerite was almost frantic, but Frederick's knowing smile hinted at an explanation.
"Marguerite, does tampering have to happen on the spot?"
His insight cleared Marguerite's confused thoughts.
Right!
Does tampering have to happen on the spot?
There had been a paternity test when Teresa was born, which had indicated she was Maurice's child.
If the truth was as Daphne said, then the tampering had occurred with the original paternity test.
Maurice was known for his meticulous planning; it seemed he had influence over every paternity testing facility
in Stonebridge City.
This realization sent chills down Marguerite's spine, anger gnawing at her.
"That bastard Maurice!"
Frederick watched Marguerite, his arm wrapping around her shoulder in a comforting gesture.
"Chuck has already sent both their DNA samples to an overseas lab. You just focus on waiting for Daphne's
vasectomy report, okay?"
His soothing voice offered Marguerite ssolace, and she let out a deflated sigh.
"That's all we can do now."
