Chapter 1029

Marcus was being all bossy like some big shot CEO from a romance novel. Cornelia was a bit worried at first, but his tone made her burst out laughing, “Alrighty, President Hartley!”

Marcus said, “I’m discussing serious matters with you, can you be a bit more serious?”

Cornelia said, “I got your point, I’m being serious all the way.”

Marcus was speechless.

Cornelia continued, “You must’ve heard what I did today, right?”

Marcus nodded, “Yeah.”

Cornelia said, “Now I’m utterly confused, I don’t know who to believe.”

Marcus said, “Go ahead. Spill the beans.”

Cornelia said, “My granny’s diary clearly states that my father isn’t her biological son, but my DNA test with my granny shows we’re blood related. So should I trust my granny’s diary or the DNA test?”

Marcus said, “I had a DNA test done on you guys too, and the results match what you said. The testing process was legit, no room for scam. So now we’re dead sure that Granny Rebecca is indeed your blood granny.”

Cornelia was even more baffled, “If Granny Rebecca is my real granny, then why would she scribble such a misleading diary?”

Marcus hadn’t spent much time with Granny Rebecca, so he had no idea why she would write such a misleading diary either, “Are you sure the handwriting in the diary is Granny Rebecca’s?”

Cornelia said, “Her handwriting is pretty unique, I’ve known it since I was a kid, no way I’d mistake it.”

Marcus said, “If we can confirm that the diary was handwritten by Granny Rebecca, then there must be some secrets she couldn’t spill outright. Try to recall if she ever said anything weird to you.”

Cornelia’s mind was a total mess now, “I can’t remember.”

Marcus said, “Come a bit closer to me.”

Cornelia asked, “What?”

Marcus chuckled, “I mean, come a bit closer to me.”

Cornelia moved closer, Marcus reached out a hand and gently ruffled her hair, “No pressure if you can’t remember. Take a break, recharge your batteries, and think about it later.”

She was exhausted from last night and had been running around all day today; Cornelia was beat, “Alright, I’ll pass out for a while, wake me up when we get home.”

Seeing that she was seriously going to take a nap, Marcus asked again, “Don’t you have anything else to tell me?”

Cornelia asked, “What else do you wanna hear?”

Marcus said, “Aren’t you going to tell me about the fake Clair?”

“If you already know, then why ask me?” Cornelia was actually not planning to tell him. She was going to figure out a way to squeeze the information she needed out of Clair herself. If it was indeed the fake Clair who killed her mother, she wouldn’t let her get away with it.

Marcus said, “I want you to tell me yourself.”

Cornelia didn’t want to cause him trouble, but she didn’t plan to keep secrets from him either, so she spilled the beans, “Today I did several DNA tests, and the results show that this Clair isn’t my biological mother. If this Clair isn’t my mother, then my real mother, the real Clair, was likely killed by the current one.”

Marcus replied, “Knowing how dangerous this Clair is, you still met her alone and even took samples from her. You can’t do such dangerous things anymore.”
