Chapter 506
Bride Behind The Mask
That night, she had the chief of staff at the hospital do her a solid-switch the blood samples of Marguerite and Yuna.
This way, no matter the test, the results would show Yuna as Hackettâs flesh and blood!
So, Zoe wasnât the least bit worried about getting it checked out!
At that moment, Hackett looked again at the paternity test in his hands, and all he felt was a deep, aching sorrow. He could still recall the crushing disappointment when he first heard the news.
He couldnât even bear to think about how heartbroken his wife would be, learning that the daughter she had longed for was Yuna, not Marguerite.
After all, they had been searching for their daughter for twenty-five long years.
He knew all too well the hardship and heartache theyâd gone through, so despite the regret and pain, he had no choice but to face reality. Yuna was his daughter, and no matter what outrageous things she might have done, as a father, he had the right to clear her name, even to back her up!
Hackett composed himself and handed the paternity test to Frederick, saying, âFrederick, you canât fool anyone with a paternity test. I got this report myself, and itâs legit!
Yuna is my daughter, and I wonât allow you to erase her records or nationality!
From today on, her place is with the Fitzgerald Group, and nobody can change that!â
Upon hearing this, Yuna was so elated she could practically burst.
She wasnât hearing things, right?
From now on, she was a bona fide Fitzgerald heiress! And who were the Fitzgeralds? Only second to the mighty Winston family in prestige and power!
Hackett finished his declaration and, with newfound confidence, wrapped an arm around Yunaâs shoulders, adding, âSo, Frederick, Iâd like you to do me a solid and forgive her.â
Frederick quickly scanned the paternity test, and after a long silence, he finally wrestled his way out of the overwhelming shock.
With both testimonial and physical evidence before him, he knew that whatever he said, Hackett wouldnât believe him! Heâd been duped by the Lockwoods too many times, so it was a safe bet the report had been tampered with!
But at that moment, he had no proof that Zoe had lied! He had to play it smart and compromise for the time being. So he replied, âI donât care whose daughter Yuna is, but she hurt my son, and just for that, sheâll never set foot in the Winston estate again!â
Yuna had thought about running away because she knew she was toast! But now, with Hackett backing her and her newfound heiress status, she believed she was more than worthy of Frederick!
After all, Frederickwould have to show Hackett some respect!
With that in mind, Yuna put on a pitiful act, âFreddie, Hayes and Manley are my kids too! How can you keep me from seeing them? How will I live?â
Frederickâs eyes, dark as a swamp, shot back, âIs Hayes really your kid?â
Yunaâs heart skipped a beat, and she quickly blurted out with guilt, âYes⦠I just, I just favored one over the other, thatâs all.â
âFavored so boldly and shamelessly, you think I could forgive you?â Frederick scoffed coldly, then turned and, with one arm, scooped up Teresa, while with the other, he confidently wrapped Marguerite, who was shivering, and barked out an order, âMove Hayes and Manley to the VIP ward, and without my say-so, nobody steps foot in there!â
Having given his commands, he walked towards the exit, holding Marguerite.
And as he brushed past Hackett, his eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, disregarding the elderâs dignity as he bluntly said, âHackett, when you find out that Marguerite is your real daughter, youâll realize just how screwed up your actions today were! What a jackass!â
