Vanessa was indignant and humiliated, but she dared not express her distress.
“I'll go back and arrange for the DNA test,” she responded sheepishly.
Yasmine said emotionlessly, “Go ahead then.”
“All right.” Vanessa got to her feet and shot Kathleen an icy glare before turning to leave.
“Is there anything else you guys want to talk about?” Yasmine queried.
“Thank you, Grandaunt! Without your help, I wouldn't be able to return home.” Kathleen went to sit next to Yasmine.
The latter snorted coldly, concealing her true feelings.
This girl is lovable. She's quite the sweetheart.
“Save it. Anything you say will be useless if the test proves that you're not my sister's granddaughter.” Yasmine put up an aloof front.
“Even if I'm not, I'll still think of you as my grandaunt.” Kathleen flashed a smile.
Yasmine looked at the young woman apathetically.
Well, she does look like my sister.
“Ms. Schott, I've already run the DNA test.” Samuel suddenly spoke.
Yasmine was slightly stunned. “When did you do it?”
Kathleen was equally shocked, too.
His tone was bland as he answered, “A few days ago. I took the DNA of Old Mrs. Yoeger and Kate's mother and ran the test.”
Yasmine was even more taken aback.
“I thought Kate's mother had passed away?”
He explained, “Yes, but Goodwill Hospital kept her DNA.”
“How is that possible?” Yasmine couldn't believe it.
Samuel clarified, “Goodwill Hospital was able to be established with the support from Kate's parents, so the hospital kept both her parents' DNA.
The elderly woman nodded. “The couple is indeed respectable.”
Upon finishing her sentence, she turned to Kathleen. “You have something else you want to ask, right?”
“Can I?” Kathleen questioned carefully.
“Go ahead.” Yasmine prepared herself to answer whatever question that was thrown at her.
Kathleen pursed her lips. “Grandaunt, do you have a granddaughter or not?”
Yasmine fell silent, while Samuel curled his thin lips.
Does she care so much about that?
The old woman was speechless. “No. I only have one useless grandson.”
“I see. I was just thinking, if you do have a granddaughter, I would have an elder sister.” Kathleen looked disappointed.
Yasmine stared at her. “Who knows if you're telling the truth?”
“I am telling the truth, I swear!” the young woman replied seriously.
“Is there anything else you want to ask?”
“Grandaunt, what did you mean when you said you're going to expose what the Yoeger family did?”
Yasmine furrowed her brows. “I can't tell you that yet.”
“Does it have something to do with Zachary's and Vanessa's ancestry?” Kathleen asked out of curiosity.
