"Hmph." Rodney's eagle eyes were round and furious, "You've obviously known Joyce since she was a child, how could you not see that Joyce looks a lot like Mia?!"
Charlotte did not give up and still retorted stiffly, "Grandpa, I am not very sensitive to appearance by nature. Usually, I often can't recognize people. What’s more this old photo is quite blurred, and I didn't look carefully just now. Now you say so, indeed, the person does look a little like Joyce, but in general, they give me different feelings, Grandpa."
"Lies. You clearly had a shocked look on your face when I first woke up." Rodney wasn't that easy to be fooled, "Do you know something? The other girl who was at the orphanage with you for the paternity test, who was she?"
Charlotte heard it, her heart turned completely cold, Rodney had suspected the paternity test result. The other girl? Wasn’t it just Joyce? Now she had completely no idea what to say next.
"I, I, I ..." she stammered, not really knowing how to answer.
"What, mute? You don’t know who it was?" Rodney sneered. charlotte's expression already gave him the answer, she must know something. Otherwise she didn't need to panic or cover up.
Now he was even more certain that something was wrong with the original paternity and that Charlotte knew about it.
"Are you really a child of the Heath family?"
Rodney was straightforward. He failed to hold back at this time, and finally asked her the question. He knew that once he had asked, there was no way to take it back. Once his suspicions were wrong, his abrupt approach could be very hurtful and could cause great emotional damage to Charlotte and even Cecelia.
He should have to wait patiently for the results of the new paternity test and come back with real evidence to question Charlotte.
