Sheryl's eyes filled with intense hatred.
Joel was taken aback by how stubborn Sheryl was to behave so neurotically in front of him.
He was really worried that Sheryl and Catherine would kill each other one day.
"Chairwoman Jones, these are... Catherine’s hairs."
Joel placed the few hairs on her desk. "If you don’t believe me, you can send these hairs back to Soromon Island for DNA testing. They’re your trusted people, and they won’t be able to fake the result. As for Rebecca and your DNA test, may I know if you did it yourself?"
"My son personally did it. Are you saying that even my son can't be trusted?" Sheryl did not believe Joel at all.
"Chairwoman Jones, perhaps the hair was real, but have you ever thought that it might not belong to Rebecca? Did you watch her pluck it from her head with your own eyes?"
"Zip it. Rebecca is already dead, yet you guys continue to slander her.” Sheryl could not help but slam her hands on the table and stood up.
Joel said impatiently, "Chairwoman Jones, I want to have a clear idea who my biological daughter actually i
s as well. You said your result shows that Rebecca is the one, but mine proves that it's Catherine instead. In fact, we share the same goal, which is to find the daughter whom we lost back then. If Catherine is the one who faked it, I’ll personally deal with her before you do. Since Rebecca has been cremated, I can't possibly get her hair. I personally plucked these hairs from Catherine’s head, and it's pointless for me to lie. Both of us simply want the truth.”
After pausing for a moment, Joel noticed the frown on Sheryl's face. She seemed to be pondering over it.
With that, he quickly added in a deep voice, "Perhaps you're suspecting that your husband, Titus, has feelings for Catherine because she looks like you when you were younger. You might reckon that Titus has an ulterior motive. Given that there's no romance involved in my relationship with Catherine, I won't make up something just to win your trust. There's no point in doing it."
Sheryl stared at him thoughtfully without saying a word.
