Chapter 635: When Isabel heard this, her blood ran cold. Her head snapped up, eyes wide with horror.
"How... how do you know about that?" The incident from a decade ago had been buried deep. After all, the Wall family had a long-standing aversion to gambling! Isabel had always believed that incident was a secret shared only between her and Kyla. But now, Sadie was aware of it as well. Isabel found herself wondering how that had happened. Could it be...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs stubborn as Isabel was, her confidence in her previous convictions began to falter. She had always trusted Kyla the most. Was it possible that Kyla had been deceiving her from the very beginning? Just then, Samuel's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression shifted before he took the call. "Yes, what is it? I see. All right." Samuel hung up and walked over to Isabel. He wasn't quite sure what he was feeling when he handed her the phone. "Please take a look at this," he said, his tone grave.
Isabel took the phone with trembling hands. On the screen was a photo of a document that had been torn apart, then pieced back together. Although the writing was somewhat blurred, Isabel recognized it instantly. It was a DNA test report.
Her gaze immediately went to the bottom, her eyes widening in shock. It was right there, plain and simple. “The probability of a parent-child relationship between Averi Hudson and Noah Wall is greater than 99.99%." And the date of the test was the very sday she had had a paternity test done between Noah and Averi.
Isabel's body swayed, her knees buckling beneath her. Samuel rushed forward to support her. "Are you okay, Mrs. Wall?" But Isabel didn't respond. She couldn't. She was far too lost in her thoughts. Her eyes were still fixed on the report.

"I happened to run into Miss Wade at the company one day, and I saw her tearing up this document and tossing it on the ground. I felt that something was off at the time, so I gathered the pieces and had a puzzle expert put them back together. He only just got back totoday." Isabel cast a complicated glance in Sadie's direction, then let out a long, weary sigh. "Do you have another copy of the contract?" Samuel immediately produced a backup contract and handed it over. "Here it is, Mrs. Wall." Isabel didn't bother reading through the terms and went straight to the last page to sign her name. Watching her do this, Sadie didn't feel the relief she had been expecting. If anything, she only felt a pang of bitter irony. Eventually, she had to reveal Averi's blood ties with the Wall family in such a ridiculous way.
"We'll be taking our leave," Sadie said softly, her voice sounding exhausted. She and Samuel turned to leave.

Averi was playing with his building blocks when they arrived home. He immediately ran over at the sound of the door opening and clung to Sadie's leg. "Mommy!"
Sadie bent slightly and ran her fingers through the boy's hair her e eyes brimming with affection.
It was then that Averi noticed Isabel standing behind his mother. His eyes om went wide with interest He remembered this woman. She was very pretty, but she seemed to dislike him back then.
