Some memories were given new meaning when the possibilities came to light.
"The results will be out soon. Don't make any assumptions before that," Mason said.
"Understood."
The butler came over. "Mr. Heath, this is the information on the Walker family."
Mason opened the document. He got visibly upset the more he read.
"The Walkers used to be a family of fishermen in a fishing village. They have been poor for generations, right until Lisa saved Mrs. Heath's life when she was ten.
"She started working for the Benson family and worked her way up until she worked for Mrs. Heath."
It should've been an inspiring story, but the Walker family became local bullies due to their connection with Tatiana.
They went from a family of fishermen to a group of gangsters. They worked as loan sharks and even opened up some shell companies that were suspected of money laundering.
Mason threw the document to Tatiana. "Take a good look for yourself."
Tatiana said anxiously, "Mason, I really didn't know about this. When she asked me to help with the procedure, I thought it was for a regular company."
Mason slammed his palm on the table. "What a wicked woman. This is who Lisa is."
"Calm down, Dad. It won't be worth it if you fall sick over this."
Mason could feel his head throbbing, and his heartbeat started to become irregular.
"My meds."
Tatiana quickly got him his meds. "The truth is almost out. You don't have to get so worked up."
A DNA test would take at least several hours. Every second of the wait was excruciating.
Tatiana thought about Molly again. She wondered if Adalia would make things hard for Molly after she left.
She was around the same age as Krystal, but she looked so malnourished. She looked like she was about to disappear as she lay on the bed.
"I'll cook some fish stew for her. She's had a hard life."
"Mom, I thought you were doing it for Krystal's sake."
Tatiana shook her head. "That's what I planned to do at first. But you'll understand why I'm doing this now if you see her. She's really a poor girl."
