Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 604

Miley's voice trembled slightly as she voiced the possibility, a chill running down her own spine at the implications. Marguerite could very well be the real heiress to the Fitzgerald family!

If that were true, then the paternity test that was supposed to prove Yuna's identity was undoubtedly tampered with.

Snapping back to reality, Miley declared with conviction, "I suggest you find an opportunity to redo the paternity test!"

Robert didn't hesitate, and he said, "Why wait for another day? Let's do it today!"

Miley blinked in surprise and glanced at her watch, "Isn't that a bit hasty?"

"Not at all!" Robert insisted, his voice firm. "To prevent any further foul play, we have to catch them off guard!"

Meanwhile, over at the Winston Estate...

After getting the morning off from Miley, Marguerite had smoothly secured a day off from Frederick to stay at the estate.

She feigned feeling under the weather, and Frederick didn't pry further.

But her supposed ailment was just a smokescreen. Marguerite's true intention was to grill Teresa about a certain portrait!

She'd spent the morning laying the groundwork, and after a hearty lunch of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, she headed to Teresa's colorful bedroom, using a flimsy excuse to have the little girl show her all her drawings.

Innocent Teresa was clueless about her mommy's agenda and casually pulled out a handful of her art.

Marguerite flipped through them, showering her daughter with praise along the way. And Teresa, ever the sucker for compliments, was practically floating with joy at her mother's words.

Seizing the moment, Marguerite asked, out of the blue, "Terry, where did you learn this amazing ability to age people in your drawings when you were just three?"

Teresa hadn't given it much thought and blurted out, "I taught myself, of course! And that’s not all I can do, I can also..." Her words trailed off abruptly. Something was wrong. Wait, what had Mommy just called her?
