The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 362
The lock clicked open, revealing its contents in the dim glow of the room. It was a stack of neatly enveloped documents and a book.
Vivienne rifled through the papers until her eyes fell upon a particular envelope marked boldly: [Paternity Test Results]!
[Test Subjects: Scott Brooks, Vivienne Hawthorn]
[Result: Positive Paternal Match]
Percival's heart skipped a beat as he read the results.
"A positive match?" He murmured, turning to Vivienne with a puzzled frown.
"What's going on? Didn't Vivienne say she was not Scott's daughter?" He thought.
He had investigated Vivienne's background only once initially, and it had come up empty. Thus, everything he knew about her was only everything she wanted him to know. Back then, she told him she was not Scott's daughter, and he had taken her at her word.
However, the paternity test showed that this was clearly not the case.
Vivienne sifted through the rest of the documents. There were ten in total, each one a paternity test from a different testing center, all with the same result. With a sly smile, she tucked the papers back into the envelope.
Turning to Percival, she explained, "I'm not his daughter. My mother had my genes altered. No matter which agency conducts the test, it'll always show a match."
Vivienne did not say more, but Percival understood her. There had to be a reason for Vivienne's mother to do this.
Without further ado, Vivienne directed Percival's attention to the book. It was not ancient, but it was worn, the kind that had been used often.
The book was actually a journal. Its pages were filled with handwriting added over time. However, the script within was foreign to Vivienne and Percival, not belonging to any known language or script they had ever encountered.
Glancing at the clock and noting the half-hour they had spent, Vivienne suggested, "Let's take photos and study this later."
