Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102: Paternity Test
"I certainly have proof!" Raina Richard spoke without hesitation, "Do you dare let me and the children take a paternity test?"
A smug smile crept over her lips as she was certain that Charlotte Thompson would never agree.
But to Raina’s complete surprise, Charlotte nodded without a second thought.
"Alright, then we shall go and test it."
Charlotte’s calm demeanor caught Raina completely off guard.
Logically, since these children were not Charlotte’s biological flesh and blood, she should have been in a panic about having a paternity test done.
So what was going on with her composed expression now?
As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, she gathered her skirt and started walking in Raina’s direction.
"What are you going to do!" Raina panicked and quickly distanced herself from Charlotte.
"Isn’t this what you asked for, to go for a paternity test? Let’s go," Charlotte responded, her lips curling into a friendly smile, but her eyes filled with coldness that caused shivers down one’s spine.
Those who knew Charlotte well would realize that when she showed this kind of expression, it meant she was really angry.
Raina, who had been filled with confidence before, was caught off guard by Charlotte’s demeanor.
Indeed, that was Charlotte’s intention.
The more nonchalant and calm she appeared, the more the opponent would end up feeling rattled and insecure in the end.
Raina licked her somewhat dry lips and, raising her hand, pointed at Charlotte, "I know who you are; your family is really rich. A paternity test, you could just pull some strings and fake a report. So no matter the result, the paternity test will definitely favor you."
When Raina raised her hand, her sleeve slipped down, revealing part of her forearm, and Charlotte’s glanced over it inadvertently, betraying a flicker of movement in her eyes.
Then Raina seemed to be hiding something, quickly lowering her hand.
"If you don’t trust the paternity test, then what kind of proof do you want to present? Are you just making things up with nothing but your words?"
Charlotte eyed Raina with an added measure of skepticism in her gaze.
Because she had just seen the scars on the section of Raina’s forearm that had been exposed, and there were quite a few.
Looking at Raina’s current state, she didn’t seem like someone with a mental illness, so those wounds on her arm didn’t appear self-inflicted.
While Charlotte was contemplating, Raina continued to speak.
"People like me, who have no power or influence, can’t compare to rich folks like you. You rich people can do whatever you want, even snatch away other people’s children! After searching for so many years, I finally found my children, but now they don’t even recognize me."
Raina covered her face, speaking with immense sorrow.
Hearing this, Charlotte couldn’t help but remain unmoved, even letting out a cold snort while crossing her arms.
Then she turned her gaze towards the members of the Ross family.
Adam Ross saw Charlotte’s expression and his countenance shifted slightly.
"Mr. Ross, I came to your birthday celebration with the children only to encounter something like this? Although the Thompson family doesn’t have close ties with the Ross family, surely there isn’t such a deep hatred between us?"
"What do you mean by that, Charlotte?" Mr. Ross stared sternly at Charlotte.
"This time I brought Jack and Chad with me, and someone popped up claiming they are her children. If I had brought all six kids here, would your Ross family claim all six of my children as your own?"
