Chapter 274
Diana was sure they hadn't done a DNA test.
Enya had passed away over twenty years ago, making a direct test impossible. The only person who could do a
DNA test now was Tyson, who was far away in Montera.
Besides, if they had actually done a test, they wouldn't just be bringing Brittany here quietly they would be
hosting a grand recognition ceremony.
With just one sentence, Diana hit the nail on the head. Everyone present had different expressions. But
Christina's reaction was especially telling.
Paisley took note of everything happening and committed it to memory.
"There's no mistake," Julia said with confidence. "That aunt's close friend Byron was asked to find turned out to
be our cousin's adoptive mother. Plus, the orphanage where our cousin was found matches what Byron's
investigation uncovered. So the DNA test is really just a formality."
"That's right. Grandpa has already informed the Godard family, and they'll be arriving in Harrowfell soon to do
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe DNA test with our cousin in person," Morris added.
Brittany held her head high as people older and more distinguished than her kept calling her "cousin" with
respect.
At this moment, Brittany's vanity was thoroughly satisfied.
"Dear Morris and Julia," Brittany said in an affected tone.
Morris's face darkened slightly at her words, but he held back his displeasure.
Julia, on the other hand, had no objections. Instead, she beamed. "Brittany, if you need anything, just say the
word."
Brittany pointed at Paisley and said bluntly, "I don't want to see her. Get her out of here immediately."
"Who dares." Diana's face darkened. Brittany's demand was a direct challenge to her status in the Beaumont
family.
Brittany lifted her chin, no longer the fawning woman she had been at the Ladies’ Association. She showed no
fear of Diana. "What's wrong? Are you picking a fight with me? Aren't you afraid I'll tell your husband?"
Diana scoffed, her anger turning into laughter. "You're using Byron to threaten me?"
She refused to believe Byron would be foolish enough to side with Brittany without evidence.
Brittany's face stiffened as if she had been struck at her weakest point.
When her parents first took her to meet Byron, she had immediately curried favor with Byron by calling him
Uncle. But Byron had simply waved his hand and said they would wait for the DNA test results before making any
conclusions.
That had been incredibly embarrassing for Brittany, though fortunately, there weren't many people present at
the time.
Still, Byron hadn't stopped other members of the Beaumont family from interacting with her. That proved Julia
was right-doing the DNA test was just a formality.
Brittany's expression gradually relaxed. "Anyway, | don't want to see her. Everyone here is my family. What is an
outsider like her doing here?"
Julia walked up to Paisley with a bright smile, but her words were anything but pleasant. "Ms. Sutton, we don't
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike you being here, so please leave. Don't interfere with our family reunion."
Julia had heard from the servants in the morning that Diana had invited Paisley
over.
Julia thought it was to help Nathaniel pursue Paisley, and to secure a powerful ally for his future so he could
compete with their family for the inheritance.
As Morris's wife, Julia would never allow that to happen. The only solution was to invite Brittany. That way, she
could disgust both Diana, her biased mother-in-law, and Paisley at the stime.
In the end, neither Julia nor Morris cared whether Brittany was truly a distant relative.
If she was then great-building a good relationship with her would
mean gaining the Godard family's support in the future. If she wasn't, it didn't matter. They could stilDuse her to
get under Paisley's skin.
Julia thought that was a surefire way to stop Paisley from being with Nathaniel.
Diana quickly figured it out and looked at Julia with sharp eyes.
