Since the DNA said it was negative, the three people who were trying to enjoy their lunch earlier stayed frozen for a few seconds. The three of them realized that one wrong word from them might mean that they already know that they were relatives from the start. That could change everything.
"Ah? Negative?" Spencer said. To everyone, the smile on his face was no longer nice. It was annoying, provoking.
"Are you sure it says negative?" Clarisse grabbed the paper and read it. "How could it be?"
"Clarisse… Stop it." Mary immediately sent a warning glare towards her granddaughter. "Since it's already like this, we should just leave." She sent a signal towards Alfons.
"That's right, since it's already like this then… it is unfortunate, but you have to leave this mansion," Alfons said. "Spencer, prepare the car." He wanted to make Spencer leave as soon as possible and try to comfort his cousin.
"Understood," Spencer said. He also signaled the other people who were looking at the group to leave.
"What was that? Did she change it?" Clarisse said.
"Yes, she did."
"But how did she know?"Clarisse asked. "Isn't it weird?"
"Actually, there is a possibility that she didn't know that we are indeed relatives. She just asked them to make the result negative. With her money, she could easily do that."
"But — Why?"
Silence followed Clarisse's words. Even the old woman couldn't understand why she would fake the result. "Earlier, she said that she would give us money as if she already expected the result to be positive, then… she actually changed it to negative," Clarisse mumbled before she realized something. "That scheming bitch! Did she deliberately do it to make herself look innocent and harmless?
"That is possible. Another possibility is she wanted to document everything. She wanted to have proof. In case… you would use your social media to make her look like an evil witch." Alfons was about to lose his calm from the anger inside him.
He fell into her trap!
And he didn't know how to get out of it. If he tries to do a second test then… Gabi would surely start investigating the reason why he did it. Then, it wouldn't take too long for her to find out that he knew about them for the past six years now. "For now, the thing that you can do is leave. However, I cannot let you stay in one of my properties anymore. It would be suspicious if I do that."
"Then are you going to send us back to that place?" Clarisse, who already experienced the good stuff in the city, didn't want to go back to the south. She wanted to live here and enjoy the life of an influencer. "I don't want to."
"No, I will call someone. I will send you money for the rent."
"You can't buy us a house?"
"No. I can't. My finances are tight right now."
"But… what about your inheritance?"
"I will use that in the upcoming election." Alfons gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, I will take care of everything. For now, just stay calm and don't act like we are close or something. Go back to the house and… I will take you to the train station. Then wait for my text for the address of the house."
"What about our plan?" Clarisse said. "If I stay away from this house, then how am I supposed to save her? How could she trust me?"
"Clarisse… listen to Alfons for now. There will always be a chance to do our plans. Let's go and pack. We are leaving."
Clarisse started sulking. However, no matter how much she felt aggrieve, she couldn't do anything about it. The feeling of helplessness soon started to seep inside her. So, she followed her grandmother back to the house and pack.
Unbeknownst to them, someone else is listening to that conversation.
"It seems that they are planning to harm me," Gabi uttered as she stared at her laptop. Everything that they said just now was recorded and was automatically transmitted into her laptop. Because of that, she heard everything that they said.
And because of this recording, she finally realized that Alfons isn't alone in his scheme. Someone else is helping him from the shadows. Or, he won't be able to hide the fact that he had relatives. Who could it be?
In the past life, she didn't meet these people. So, she wasn't too sure who was supporting them.
She bit her lower lip as she thought of the cards that she had now. That recording earlier could be used to ruin Alfon's reputation. However, she needed something more solid than this. She closed her laptop and decided to walk around the Ren Mansion.
"Cousin!"
"Hm?" Gabi froze when she heard Earl's voice. She turned towards the parking lot. "You are here?"
"Ah, yes. I decided to join you for some snacks." Earl gave his coat to his secretary.
"I — " She wanted to be alone to think.
"Let's go around the back?"
She faked a smile and followed him towards the back of the mansion. Unlike the mansion of the Sutton Family, this place has a lot of trees and the back of the mansion has a bamboo forest where her grandfather usually enjoyed his tea. "Did something happen?" Gabi asked. She wasn't that stupid, she already sensed that her cousin didn't just come here because of some tea.
"Cousin, do you know anyone from the Quigly Family?"
"The Quigly's?" Gabi raised an eyebrow. "I've heard of them. Why?"
"Well… I think they are purposely giving grandfather a hard time. Maybe it was just my hallucination, but… it seems that the current head of the Quigly Family didn't like a grandfather. However, I am wondering why they would suddenly act like we are enemies."
"What are you talking about? The Quigly's and the Ren's were not enemies, but they were not our friends either." But most importantly, why was Earl telling her this information? The Quigly's is another rich family. However, they are not neutral and had a lot of political connections. Because of this, the Quigly's and the Ren's never became close. Not in the past. And not in the future.
