Chapter 49 Taking a Paternity Test

Silence filled the air when Joseph finished his sentence. He stared fixedly at Nicole, wanting to see

how she would respond.

Nicole fell silent for a moment before a smile suddenly appeared on her face. At first, she was smiling

faintly; after that, though, she laughed right away while wiping the tears off the corner of her eye, as

though she had heard an outrageous joke.

After laughing for a while, she finally put on a stern expression. Taking out her phone, she glanced at

its screen with amusement all over her face before looking at the man before her, saying, “Mr. Mann,

today is not April Fool’s Day, but the mid-winter holiday. Don’t tell me you’ve only come up with such a

way to draw my attention after so many days.” As she spoke, the smile on her face slowly disappeared,

and her voice took on a grim tone. “We never met until we talked about our possible collaboration last

time. What’s your motive in making such an outrageous claim right now?” She stared at him with a

layer of frost in her beautiful eyes. “How could you resort to such a dirty trick to get to work with F&M

Apparel?”

Nicole’s voice sounded increasingly grim as it turned colder and colder, sending a chill down Joseph’s

spine. Looking at Nicole, who was already seething with anger before him, he inwardly regretted what

he had just said. Judging from how Nicole looks, what Queenie said is most probably a lie. I must’ve

been out of my mind to keep believing that woman’s words! But now that I’ve offended her to such an

extent, if I chicken out right now, I’ll be embarrassing myself. Gritting his teeth, he put on a tough front,

saying, “Whatever the truth is, Miss Nicole, please let your son do a paternity test with me. If what the

person said was a lie, I’ll personally bring the rumormonger to apologize to you. However, if what the

person said is true, please let me claim my right as the kid’s father.”

Rumormonger? A number of people crossed Nicole’s mind before she quickly figured out it was

Queenie. After all, only Queenie and she knew what had happened between her and Joseph five years

ago. Furthermore, it made sense when Nicole recalled what had happened at F&M Apparel’s annual

dinner. I never expected her to be so despicable, she thought. Blinking her eyes with a frosty

expression, she uttered coldly through her lips, “You wish!”

Seeing that Nicole was unwilling to have Hayden do a paternity test with him, Joseph quickly

continued, “Miss Anderson, no matter what the person said is true or not, we’ll find out once we do the

test. Also, doing the test would dispel our doubts. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone? And

besides, if what the person said is false, you can be on guard against the rumormonger earlier, right?”

Upon listening to how the man before her kept urging her to have the paternity test done as though he

would never stop until he reached his goal, Nicole frowned with a hint of impatience on her face, and

she spoke with a note of reproach. “If everyone approaches me with such an excuse like you do, do I

have to let my son do the test with all of them? Mr. Mann, let’s end our conversation here. If you keep

on using such an excuse to pester me next time, don’t blame me for being unpleasant with you.”

At the moment, she could only put on a tough front with a hint of frigidity in her eyes. Just as she took

Hayden’s hand and stood up to leave, she seemed to recall something; after pausing in her tracks, she

turned around and said to Joseph, “My mother preferred not to be disturbed while she was still alive, so

don’t disturb her peace anymore.” With that, she opened the door and left quickly.

Gazing at Nicole’s receding figure from behind, Joseph unclenched his fist, revealing several strands of

fine, short hair in his hand. He had plucked them just now when Hayden walked past him. Right now,

he could only take a gamble. If the test results showed that Hayden was indeed his son, there was no

doubt that the Mann Family would definitely rise in status in the future with the backing of Nicole and

F&M Apparel.
