Chapter 1856
“If you’re going to talk, just talk. No need to hug her.”
Barbara rolled her eyes at him with exaggerated drama, muttering, “So petty.”
Belinda chuckled.
“He’s just overly possessive.”
“Come on, let’s take our seats,” Nalani said.
The four of them settled around the table.
Once their order had been placed, Lucas turned his attention to Nalani, getting straight to the point.
“Nalani, I heard Kylee turned out to be Elwood and Carola’s daughter?”
He was the one who had asked Belinda to invite Nalani and her daughter, hoping to see what information he could get from them.
He was curious about what was really happening with the Wright family.
The instant Lucas posed the question, a shadow of disdain crossed Nalani’s face.
Just then, Barbara gave a slight pout before speaking up.
“That’s not true! Kylee’s not related to my uncle at all.”
Hearing that, Belinda and Lucas shared a quick glance, their eyes meeting with a quiet, mutual understanding.
So, Kylee wasn’t Elwood’s biological daughter after all; Belinda’s suspicions had been right from the beginning.
“Really?” Lucas’ voice carried a thread of surprise.
“Elwood came to me once, pleading on Baker’s behalf, saying he owed him a favor. I couldn’t figure out what kind of debt Elwood could possibly have to Baker. Then Belinda told me Kylee turned out to be Elwood’s daughter, and I thought it all made sense. That news left me shocked for quite a while.”
When Lucas finished, Nalani gave a short, cold scoff.
“Kylee and her family are just scheming to get our family’s money and power.”
Her gaze landed on Lucas as she continued, “Actually, Kylee isn’t my brother’s biological daughter. The paternity test report my brother received before was tampered with. Let me tell you—when Kylee was born, my mother and I already suspected that the child Carola was carrying might be my brother’s. So, right after Kylee was born, my mother secretly took her blood and my brother’s for a paternity test. The results showed no biological link. When Belinda told me Kylee was my brother’s daughter that day, I knew straight away something was wrong. I knew my brother had been deceived.”
Belinda’s eyes widened slightly.

So that was why Nalani’s expression had been so peculiar back then; she had known from the very beginning that Kylee wasn’t Elwood’s daughter.
Nalani added, “A few days earlier, my mother had Kylee’s and my brother’s blood drawn again and sent to three different testing centers for paternity tests. Guess what?”
She didn’t pause for an answer before continuing, “Out of the three reports, one claimed Kylee was my brother’s biological daughter, while the other two showed no relation at all. Isn’t that interesting?”
When Belinda heard that, her eyes narrowed.
The truth crystallized with alarming clarity—someone had deliberately manipulated the results from one of the testing facilities.
Nalani continued her furious tirade, her voice crackling with righteous anger.
