Chapter 13 - The DNA Test Results Arrive From Private Lab
The private elevator doors slid open smoothly, revealing Chloe stepping out into the penthouse foyer with an unreadable expression.
Ethan spun around in absolute shock, staring at his jilted fiancée as she walked calmly into the luxury living room.
“Chloe? What are you doing here at this hour?” Ethan asked, his voice cracking with utter bewilderment.
Chloe ignored Ethan entirely, walking directly over to Hailey and placing a sealed manila envelope onto the coffee table.
“The independent DNA lab results arrived an hour ago... I had my own samples tested independently,” Chloe stated steadily.
Hailey picked up the envelope, tearing open the paper seal to review the genetic matching percentages inside the report.
Ethan rushed forward, trying to grab the papers, but Chloe stepped firmly between him and the table to block his path.
“You have no right to see those, Ethan... you forfeited any rights to truth the moment you lied about your past,” Chloe told him coldly.
Hailey looked up from the report, a faint smile touching her lips as she confirmed the genetic linkage between Ethan and the baby.
“The science is indisputable... he is the biological father, exactly as the trust documents claimed,” Hailey confirmed out loud.
Ethan sank heavily into a leather armchair, burying his face in his hands as the final legal trap closed tightly around him.
“Why are you here, Chloe? Did you come to watch me burn?” Ethan asked, his voice muffled by his palms.
