Vanessa was indignant and humiliated, but she dared not express her distress.
“I’ll go back and arrange for the DNA test,” she responded sheepishly.
Yasmine said emotionlessly, “Go ahead then.”
“All right.” Vanessa got to her feet and shot Kathleen an icy glare before turning to leave.
“Is there anything else you guys want to talk about?” Yasmine queried.
“Thank you, Grandaunt! Without your help, I wouldn’t be able to return home.” Kathleen went to sit next to Yasmine.
The latter snorted coldly, concealing her true feelings.
This girl is lovable. She’s quite the sweetheart.
“Save it. Anything you say will be useless if the test proves that you’re not my sister’s granddaughter.” Yasmine put up an aloof front.
“Even if I’m not, I’ll still think of you as my grandaunt.” Kathleen flashed a smile.
Yasmine looked at the young woman apathetically.
Well, she does look like my sister.
“Ms. Schott, I’ve already run the DNA test.” Samuel suddenly spoke.
Yasmine was slightly stunned. “When did you do it?”
Kathleen was equally shocked, too.
His tone was bland as he answered, “A few days ago. I took the DNA of Old Mrs. Yoeger and Kate’s mother and ran the test.”
Yasmine was even more taken aback. “I thought Kate’s mother had passed away?”
He explained, “Yes, but Goodwill Hospital kept her DNA.”
