Chapter 53 Paternity Confirmed

Colton couldn’t help but frown slightly as he looked at the person before him. He had heard during the

mid-winter holiday that Joseph had accosted Nicole at her mother’s grave. Even though he didn’t know

what the two had talked about in the hotel after that, Nicole’s face was pale when she left the hotel,

which was why he had said those words at the dining table just now. “What are you doing at Gardner

Corporation?” He stepped forward slightly and happened to stand in front of Nicole.

Joseph was somewhat afraid deep down when he saw Colton, for he didn’t expect Nicole to be with

him. Feigning composure at once, he said respectfully with a smile, “What a coincidence, President

Gardner! I’m here to talk to Miss Anderson.”

“She’s not available,” Colton refused bluntly. His tall figure exuded a terrifyingly chilly aura even when

he was merely standing there doing nothing.

Seeing how Colton turned him down so quickly, Joseph looked slightly embarrassed. However, he

came well-prepared this time. Turning his gaze to Nicole, he produced a report in his hand, saying,

“Miss Anderson, I’ve got a report in my hand, which I obtained after meeting you last time. I think you’d

like to take a look at it too.”

The air turned heavy all of a sudden, and Nicole’s heart shuddered involuntarily when her gaze fell

upon the report Joseph was holding. She pursed her lips as her hands clenched into fists by her sides.

Seeing Nicole’s ghastly expression, Colton frowned slightly and asked with concern, “Nicole, are you

alright?”

Luckily, Nicole had applied makeup before leaving home today. Even if she looked pale at the moment,

no one could notice it. In an attempt to make her voice sound steadier, she lowered her voice, saying,

“It’s okay, President Gardner. It’s about something private between him and me. Let me deal with it

first.”

Colton glanced at Nicole before darting another look at Joseph. His black eyes darkened slightly, but

he nonetheless stepped aside to give way to Joseph. Before he left, he said, “Just call me if there’s

anything. I’ll fix it.”

A forced smile crossed Nicole’s face. She replied with a nod, “Thank you, President Gardner.”

After Colton left, Joseph immediately went up to Nicole. At this moment, however, he looked less

obsequious as a lewd smile appeared on his face. He handed Nicole the report in his hands, saying,

“Please take a look, Miss Anderson. This is the result of the paternity test done by matching the DNA of

your son’s hair with the DNA of my own hair.”

Nicole’s hands froze visibly as she took the report. Looking up at Joseph, her brow furrowed. “This

can’t be possible!”

Seeing the look of panic on Nicole’s face, Joseph immediately took advantage of the situation, saying,

“Miss Anderson, why don’t you take a look at the report’s contents first before saying anything else?”

Realizing that she had lost her composure, she quickly composed her features. She would always lose

her cool whenever it concerned her son. After steadying her hands, she took the paper out of the

envelope.

On the white paper were words printed in black ink. At the bottom of the paper, though, there was a

section where words were printed in scarlet. The words, which Nicole found offensive, read, ‘Paternity

Confirmed.’

Nicole felt as though she was going to stop breathing. She didn’t expect that Joseph would actually get

the paternity test done, but she soon kept herself from trembling. With a chilly expression, she looked

up and tossed the report into his arms with a sneer. “Do you think I’m gonna believe you with this

forged paternity test report in your hands?”

Joseph was inwardly confident as he held the report in his hands. He had personally obtained this

report from the hospital, and when he saw the words ‘paternity confirmed’ on it, he was also in

disbelief. He never thought that he would have a son five years ago with Lisa, the Chief Designer of

F&M Apparel. With that, a connection was quickly established between the two previously unrelated

people, and Mann Clothing Co. could be saved once again.
