Chapter 202 Finding the DNA Paternity Test Report
Joanna’s eyes lingered on Queenie for a long minute. Although the former didn’t know what grudges the two sisters had between them, there wasn’t a reason for Joanna to not do something that not only wouldn’t harm her in any way, but would also benefit her.
“Fine. I will design it according to this jewelry, but you and I are still not related to each other in any way.” Joanna wanted to draw a clear line between them.
Queenie was the one who did all those complicated things in the past. It might just work in Joanna’s favor if those were not made known to the public. The people close to Queenie might be dragged down if any outsider ever learned about the truth.
There was no way she would take on such a risk for Nicole!
It somehow didn’t bother Queenie to see Joanna acting cautious. After all, they were only joining hands because they needed each other. It was hard to say who would be helping who more.
She would work with anyone at all as long as she could beat Nicole!
Joanna happened to sort out her thoughts as soon as the jewelry was promised to her. The accessory was on the grandiose side, and even though it might not suit a woman of Wendy’s age, Joanna was happy with the jewelry’s brand alone.
The corners of her lips curled upward then. It didn’t matter how good Nicole’s design was as long as Joanna had a piece by Triton Studio. It was a good thing that she could pick suitable clothes to go along with the jewelry after she had seen it. She might not have been able to design something fitting if she hadn’t seen the jewelry beforehand.
Now that she was feeling more reassured, Joanna started designing with even more ease than she did before. She yearned to see Nicole’s face after losing!

Colton was about to drive Anna and Wendy back to the Gardner Residence when the younger woman sleepily leaned forward and threw her arms around the seat in front of her. As she had gone to bed late last night, she was starting to feel drowsy from sitting in the car for an extended amount of time.
Anna threw a glance at the backseat, and when she saw Wendy getting teary from her endless yawns, she couldn’t help laughing as she scolded, “You brat! You must have stayed up late again last night.”
Wendy kept yawning as she grumbled in a small voice, “It wasn’t that late.”
As Anna watched Wendy rub the corners of her eyes with her hands, the former tried to find a tissue. However, after finding none everywhere she looked, Anna swiftly opened the glove compartment in front of the passenger’s seat.
Coincidentally, there was a DNA paternity test report sitting quietly in the compartment.
Before Colton could stop her, Anna had already picked up the DNA paternity test report and tore it open to read it.
To her surprise, it was a report that proved Colton and Hayden were related by blood!
Anna’s eyes immediately went wide as she turned to look at Colton. In a shaky voice, she demanded, “What the hell is this?!”
Knowing that it was too late to stop Anna from seeing the report, Colton could only explain as he continued driving, “That is a forged report.”
“It is clearly stated here that you are related by blood! You said before that you have done a paternity test, and you told me that you are not!”
Anna refused to believe Colton’s excuse when the result was in black and white.
He was beginning to feel helpless at this point. He couldn’t possibly say that this paternity test belonged to Hayden and Joseph when Nicole didn’t want her own son to have any sort of relation with Joseph. All Colton could do now was try his best to keep the secret and not expose Nicole.
He hadn’t read the report at all after he got it back. After having it stuffed in the glove compartment for so long, it was finally unexpectedly found by Anna. It seemed like there was no excuse he could give to get himself out of the situation.
Wendy, who was on the verge of falling asleep a while ago, was suddenly awakened when she heard them talk about the DNA paternity test report. As she stared at the big, red words that confirmed Hayden’s birth with wide eyes and she recalled the words Colton said just now, she couldn’t help but roar, “You scumbag!”
After reaching the Gardner Residence at last, Colton pulled the handbrake and explained resignedly, “This really is a fake report.”
Still, Anna refused to believe him. How could the report be fake when it was produced in one of the top three hospitals around?
Looking back into Anna’s suspicious eyes, Colton didn’t know where he should start explaining.
