Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire

Chapter 126

Chapter 126 DNA Paternity Test

Maureen was indeed her biological mother.

As Arielle heaved a long sigh, a scary thought suddenly dawned on her. Mom’s only been married to

Henrick, who’s been recognizing me as his biological daughter. In this case, wouldn’t it mean that Mom

has… committed adultery? Henrick found out about it and killed her? Then again, he’s not the type who

would allow someone who’s not his blood and flesh to enter the family.

It was then that Arielle realized she had a big mystery to solve.

She had returned to investigate her mother’s death but to no avail. In addition, she now was confused

about who her actual father was.

Her mind was in a total mess.

Carter broke the silence. “It’s still early. Why don’t you two have a chat while I check if they’ve gotten

any useful information from that guy?”

With that suggestion, Carter went out and shut the door behind him, leaving Arielle and Vinson alone in

the ward.

With a wry smile, she looked at Vinson. “You must be thinking that I’m a joke. Neither am I the

glamorous Ms. Moore nor Ms. Southhall. I’m just… an illegitimate child.”

He frowned at her words. Putting on a stern face, he tried to correct her understanding. “I don’t know if

you’re an illegitimate child. So what if you’re one? To me, you are who you are.”

Though he appeared to be icy-cold, his gaze was unexpectedly warm.

Arielle moved her stiffened fingers.

His unswerving attitude and that one firm sentence uttered had effectively cleared the doubts she had

and given her the courage needed to sail through these trying times.

Vinson had once again reminded her that she would always be Arielle, regardless of whose daughter

she was.

He continued, “We can’t choose our parents and family background, so that’s no fault of yours. It’s the

adults who’ve made a mistake.”

Biting her lips, Arielle shared, “From what I can remember, Mom wasn’t that kind of a person… I don’t

know why… why would she do that.”

Vinson paused for two seconds. “Actually, there’s something about your mom that I think you should

know. I didn’t tell you this earlier because I thought it’d be rude for me to say this.”

Stunned, she lifted her head immediately. “About my mom? What’s it about? I’ve looked up a lot of

information about her before going back to the Southalls. I believe I know everything about her.”

He shook his head lightly. “There’s something not recorded in those files you read.”

“What is it?”

“Gossips shared amongst the socialites in Jadeborough. It didn’t cross my mind until I saw your DNA

paternity report. Maybe you should hear this.”

Clenching her fists, Arielle fretted. “Go on…”

He looked her in the eyes and articulated all the tittle-tattles about Maureen within the Jadeborough

social circles.

“You should know that your mom and Henrick got married in a flash. Based on her backgrounds, it

would’ve deemed inappropriate for her to be married into the Southall family. The Southalls made a

fortune from coal mines and then purchased properties in Jadeborough. He got married with your mom

not long after settling down here. Don’t you think that this is so strange?”

“Yup,” she acknowledged.

“Rumor has it that your mom lost her virginity to a thug when she went hiking one day. As soon as she

found out that she was pregnant, she looked for the Southalls anxiously…”

Arielle’s brows were knitted together. “You’re saying that my mom was rape… that’s why she had me?

She married my dad in order to give me a legitimate identity?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
