Chapter 372
Susanâs face, etched with concern and fury the other night, now had just a playful, mocking smile.
âThe report was supposed to come out today. Where is it?â
âAny minute nowâ That was all Gregory offered in response.
Susan turned to me with a sneer, âMs. Webster, once the report is out, I have only one request for you. Never set foot in the Myers family again! Youâve caused enough chaos!â
âShut up!â Ramonaâs voice was sharp as she scolded, and she gave me a reassuring look, âJane, donât worry,
Iâm here.â
âOkay.â Hearing those words, I inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt like I wouldnât be facing it alone, no matter what happened. Even if I were Lilliana, returning to the Myers family, Iâd still have my grandma.
Susan scoffed in disdain, âRamona, save your energy. Thereâs no way sheâs Lilliana.â
âAre you so sure because you already know the results?â Gregoryâs tone carried a hint of confusion.
Susan hurriedly denied, âHow could I possibly know!â
âOh, I was just wondering how youâd be more informed than I am about a test conducted at the Ford familyâs hospital.â Gregoryâs smile was casual, yet it seemed he held all the cards.
Fearing sheâd get caught out on another slip, Susan urged, âHas the report arrived yet?â
As she finished her sentence, a young man entered. He handed two documents to Gregory, âGregory, the doctor gave the documents to me himself. They didnât pass through anyone elseâs hands.â
With that, the atmosphere in the room grew even tenser.
Susan didnât immediately pounce to see the results but patiently waited for Gregory to take a look.
Gregoryâs expression didnât change as he read the first document, but his face turned cold upon reading the second. Always laidâback, his stern face was particularly intimidating.
Subconsciously, I spoke up, âGregoryâ¦
âWhat?â He placed a hand on my shoulder, squeezing reassuringly.
Meanwhile, a message popped up on his phone. He glanced at it, and a faint smile played on his lips.
âGreg, why the silence?â Seeing him with his head down, Susan mistook his quiet for acceptance, and her smile deepened. âYou probably donât know what a motherâs intuition is. If Ms. Webster were my daughter, wouldnât I feel it?â
Gregory looked up at her with a cold smile. âI was just wondering how you managed to tamper with the
results.
Susanâs composure flickered before she regained control. âExcuse me? What are you talking about?â
âSusan,â Always proud, Gregory tossed the two DNA reports on the table. âI donât make the same mistake.
twice.â
âWhat do you mean?â Susan asked.
âI forgot to mention,â Gregory said calmly. âThis time, we did two DNA tests, one by the Ford familyâs hospital, and the other was sent abroad by private plane the night before last, to an international institution.â

âWhat?â The revelation unsettled both Susan and Dorothy.
Dorothy stood up abruptly. âAre you saying the results from abroad differ from what we got today?â
âAsk your mom.â Gregoryâs voice carried a casual defiance. Those three words seemed both an answer and an insult.
Ramona gestured, and the butler picked up the two reports from the table, handing them to Ramona. After reading, she looked sharply at âLillianaâ and instructed the butler. âTake her to the guest house and keep an eye on her! Clean Lillianaâs room thoroughly and disinfect everything. Lilliana likes cleanliness and doesnât want strangers touching her things.
âAffirmative,â the butler responded promptly.
