When Averie walked out of the bedroom and heard what Mrs.Cooper said, her back broke into a cold sweat! The DNA test results for Elyette and Cole were out.
Averie had received a text message on her phone.She did not expect the test center to mail the test results to her house.
“Is that for me, Mrs.Cooper?”
She walked over nonchalantly and took the package out of Mrs.Cooper’s hand.She could feel Mrs.Cooper and Elyette’s curious eyes on her, because the package had come from a paternity test center.
Anybody would naturally wonder if she had gone to a paternity test center and taken a paternity test.
Elyette got up from the couch and walked over to Averie.
“I got this test center to carry out a genetic test on one of my patients.He’s got a very strange illness…It’s complicated.Besides, the patient’s pretty much recovered now,”
Averie said, then looked at Elyette and reminded, “We’re going to Kiki’s funeral today.Why haven’t you changed yet?”
Elyette lifted his wrist and checked his watch.
“Isn’t the funeral at ten? It’s only eight right now.It’s still early.”
“Oh, then you should continue to play with Robert! I’m going to help Layla change.”
Averie walked toward the children’s room with the package in her hands.
Layla had spent the past few days resting at home.
Averie and Elyette wanted to take her out to play, but she refused.She spent her days playing the piano, watching TV, and playing with her toys.She was much quieter than she used to be.
If she was a lively hummingbird before, then she was now a quiet little dragonfly.
Averie opened the door to the children’s room, walked in, then shut the door behind her.
She pulled the documents out of the package, then quickly checked the test results.
Conclusion: According to the results of DNA analysis, it can be ruled out that uncle Sample A and nephew Sample B are related by blood.
Sample A was Elyette and Sample B was Cole.
Averie used the names Samples A and B in order not to reveal their identities.
After seeing the results, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She had prepared herself for the worst possible outcome, but she was still deeply affected by the results! Elyette was not a Foster.
It was no wonder that the photos of him in his childhood album looked different before the age of five.
It was because the child was switched out! The real Elyette Foster had the same illness as Shea.
The Fosters had claimed that Elyette’s illness was cured by a miracle worker, but there was no such thing.
They simply traded him in for a healthy child! The real Elyette Foster…
Was very possibly…
Adrian White! Averie felt a strange familiarity the moment she first laid eyes on Adrian.
She had always thought that it was because she missed Shea and kept catching glimpses of her in Adrian.
She did not expect…
She took a deep breath, then decided that she would find a chance to test Adrian’s DNA with Cole’s! She hoped Adrian would be able to escape the White family.
However, she thought of how the Foster family was no longer basking in its previous glory.
Henry and Cole were not that much better off than Nathan White was.
Most importantly, there was a possibility that Elyette could not accept this reality.
“What are you looking at, Mommy?”
When Layla saw the heavy expression on Averie’s face, she immediately walked over to her.
Averie folded up the test results, shoved it in her pocket, then quickly ripped up the package that the results came in.
“Have you decided what to wear yet, Layla?” Averie asked instead of answering Layla’s questions.
“People usually wear black clothes to a funeral.How about you wear this black dress with these black tights?” Layla nodded her head.
“You don’t look happy, Mommy.What were you looking at just now?”
Averie forced a smile and said, “It’s about work.”
“You could ask Daddy to help you with that,” Layla suggested.
“‘ He’s staying at our house now.Could he refuse to help you with a thing or two?”
“I’ll handle it myself.Let’s get you changed!”
Averie’s heart was heavy, but she could not express it.
She changed the subject and asked, ”Are you sure you want to go back to school next week, Layla?”
“I am.I want to be braver.If the other kids are going back to school, then I can, too.”
“You’re amazing, Layla.I’m so proud of you.”
Averie crouched down and planted a kiss on her daughter’s forehead.
In the living room, Elyette’s phone was ringing.
When Robert heard the ringtone, his obsidian black eyes widened.
Elyette flashed a smile at his son, then answered the phone.
“Have you seen Chelsea’s mother’s interview, Sir?”
Chad’s voice came through the phone.
“She was acting like a victim during the entire interview.She said you killed the entire Tierney family and gobbled up all of their property, and that you’re trying to push her to her death.She begged for society’s help in the interview and hoped that everyone would help her seek justice.”
Elyette’s face instantly darkened with rage! What a shameless old hag! Did she think that he did not dare touch her?
“Should we make the video disappear, or should we respond to it, Sir?” Chad asked.
“She looked really haggard in the video, but she said some very provoking things.”
“All she wants is money, right? I won’t give her a dime,” Elyette said coldly.
“Did she think that a mere interview would be able to affect me? What a hopeless idiot!”
“That’s right! Her behavior was pretty disgusting.”
Chad sighed, then said, “It’s just like how Chelsea just had to choose our building to jump off of.Both mother daughter sure have the same way of doing things.”
When Averie emerged from the children’s room with Layla, she heard Elyette talking on the phone.
Her eyes landed obsessively on him.
Elyette was ruthless, untamable, and noble! He was the one who raised the Foster family name to fame.
Nobody dared disrespect him when his name came up.
All of the honor and glory that he worked so hard to get for the Foster name now all seemed like a joke.
Surely, Rosalie knew the truth.
It must have been hard for her to raise Elyette as her own.
However, if Rosalie was not a good mother to Elyette, then he would not still miss her after her death.
When Elyette saw Averie and Layla from the corner of his eye, he immediately hung up the phone.
“Robert was already awake, so I didn’t go outside to talk on the phone,” he explained.
Averie gazed at his handsome face, then said, “Go get changed, Elyette.Let’s head out once I’m changed.It’s getting stuffy here at home.”
“Alright.”
Once Averie returned to her room, Elyette walked over to Layla.
“That’s a pretty dress you’re wearing, Layla.I’ve never seen you wear it before.”
Elyette thought of ways to praise Layla every day to cheer her up.
This worked pretty well on children.
Layla felt a deeper fondness for him than she did before.
“Mommy’s facing some trouble at work, Daddy.You should help her out!” Layla murmured.
“She said she could handle it herself, but I can tell she’s unhappy.”
Elyette’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Did your mother tell you she’s facing trouble at work?” From what he knew, Tate Industries wasn’t in any kind of trouble.
Layla nodded.
“Mommy was looking at a few pieces of paper in my room just now.Her whole face changed after she was done looking at them.”
“How many sheets of paper?” thought Elyette.
Elyette Foster thought for a while and asked, “Are those papers she the one she took out of the delivery bag?”
Layla nodded.
“I guess so.Otherwise, I’ve got no idea where she got them from.Mommy must be in big trouble.”
The reason why Layla sounded so serious was because she was trying to get Elyette to help her mother.She could not bear to let her mother suffer alone.
Elyette Foster took his daughter’s words to heart.
“Don’t you worry.I will surely help her.After the funeral, I’ll have a chat with her..”‘ Layla said, “Don’t let her know that I’m the one who told you this.She said she wanted to do things herself.”
Elyette Foster patted his daughter’s head and chuckled.
“Your mother’s love for isn’t in vain.”
