Chapter 341 A DNA Test
Over on Yara’s side, she sprang up from her bed the moment she received a phone call.
“How did it go?” she asked anxiously.
“Everything went as planned,” the man answered. “I got a strand of her hair when she was not aware. I have already sent it to get tested. The result will be out in three days.”
“Three days?” Yara felt that it was too long a time to wait.
“This is the fastest I can get the result.”
“Fine. Let me know once you got them.” Yara bit her lip and conceded.
She hung up and went back to her bed. She tossed and turned, but could not sleep.
She had a feeling that the woman who took everything from her was the very same person who was supposed to have died in the fire five years ago. But deep in her heart, she hoped that it was not her.
There was a time when Franklin and Sophia were her tickets to marry into the Bowers family, yet now if the woman had really returned, she could potentially expose all of Yara’s lies if Samuel were to find out that she was not their biological mother.
Meanwhile, Natalie visited Effie’s home with her.
Gerald was in a jovial mode when he saw Natalie. He pulled her into the study to catch up with her over some tea.
Seeing both of them having a good time, Effie insisted on butting in.
“Why are you still wearing this?” the police officer asked, sighing as he poured her a drink.
It was not that he minded how the mask look, but he knew that young women tended to care a lot about their appearance. He did not understand why someone as pretty as Natalie would want to make herself look ugly.
He felt it was a shame, but Natalie merely smiled at him.
“What are you talking about, Grandpa? What is she wearing?” Effie weighted in with a confused look.
“Oh! You don’t know?”
“What is it? What is it that I don’t know?” She was genuinely lost.
Since there was no one else in the room, and both Gerald and Effie were her trusted confidants, Natalie did not see why she should keep a secret from any of them. She took off her hyper-realistic mask and showed her bare face.
That’s it, my girl. You should show people how beautiful you are! The old man beamed and continued pouring his drink.
Meanwhile, Effie was beyond astounded. Her mouth dropped open in disbelief. She did not even know what to say.
She. Is. So. Pretty.
When Effie first saw Natalie, she thought she was just average-looking.
As she got to know her, she came to like Natalie a lot. In fact, the more she spent time with her, the more she found her attractive, However, now that Effie saw her real face, she was completely shocked.
Her skin was glowy and supple like a dolphin. Her skin texture was so refined that Effie could hardly see any visible pores. Her eyes were alluring, her nose was straight, and her lips were plump and full. Effie simply could not take her eyes off the woman.
“S-So,” she stuttered, “this is how you really look?”
“Yeah.”
Natalie smiled at her.
“And you knew about this all this while, Grandpa?”
“Yeah.” The old man chortled heartily. “I knew you didn’t know about it. That’s why I called her out in front of you.”
“Brandon will go crazy if he finds out about this,” Effie said, shaking her head.
Now that she knew that Natalie had both the looks and capability, she admired her even more.
Since everyone was on the same page about her secret already, Natalie thought it was about time she opened up about her true intention of visiting Gerald that day.
“Actually,” she said before pausing, “I’m here today because I need help.” She looked at Gerald solemnly. “Could you help me ask around to see if someone is doing a DNA test using a strand of hair? Yara is getting suspicious, and I think she sent someone to get my hair today so she can find out about my real identity. It’s still not the time for me to disclose my secret yet. I need to wait until the Nichols family completely falls to ruin. Is there anything you can do to help me?”
