Chapter 1857
“Later, standing before the entire Wright family, my mother slammed down the damning evidence. The documentation clearly exposed how Baker had bribed the staff at the testing facility. His actions were absolutely vile! He and his family actually attempted to saddle someone else’s child on my brother! The sheer wickedness of it defies comprehension!”
Her voice sharpened to a razor’s edge as she spoke, each word dripping with contempt.
This information sparked Belinda’s curiosity, prompting her to inquire, “So, was she aware of this?”
Nalani understood that Belinda meant Carola.
A labyrinth of conflicted emotions flickered across her features at the mention of Carola.
She pressed her lips together thoughtfully and furrowed her brow.
“You know, regarding that entire debacle… the circumstances remain genuinely perplexing. Carola’s behavior suggested she remained completely oblivious to the entire conspiracy. She even stubbornly insisted that her child had to be my brother’s, that it absolutely couldn’t be anyone else’s. However, the DNA test results are right there; they don’t lie.”
After a pause, she continued, “Besides, a paternity examination was conducted immediately following Kylee’s birth, and every single result demonstrated that she shares no biological connection with my brother. Still, Carola persisted in her fervent claims that the child belonged to my brother. Honestly, I didn’t know whether to believe her or not.”
Regarding that other incident from Carola’s past, Nalani deliberately chose not to mention it.
After all, for Carola, it represented a deeply shameful chapter of her life.
Lucas remained quietly observant, but his mind had now reached eighty percent certainty regarding Belinda’s true parentage.
A single suspicious event might be dismissed as mere coincidence. However, when multiple pieces of evidence began aligning in this disturbing pattern, coincidence became an impossibility.
Belinda lowered her gaze, appearing lost in thought.
“What position has Elwood adopted in this matter?” Lucas inquired after allowing a moment of reflection to pass.

Lifting her shoulders in a casual gesture, Nalani responded, “My brother believes Carola. He’s determined to conduct his own independent investigation into this. We’ll need to wait to see whether he can unearth any meaningful clues.”
Suddenly, Lucas seemed to think of something. His piercing eyes narrowed, and his voice remained calm as he spoke.
“Since Baker deliberately manipulated the paternity test results, that confirms he possessed complete knowledge from the very beginning that Kylee shares no blood connection with Elwood. He simply chose to falsify the results intentionally, wanting to convince your entire family that Kylee was genuinely Elwood’s biological daughter.”
Nalani bobbed her head in firm agreement.
“Precisely! Initially, we assumed Carola must have collaborated in the entire scheme involving the doctored paternity report. After all, as the biological mother, she must know her child’s true paternity. However, based on her genuine reaction during that confrontation, her emotions didn’t suggest deception. She just kept hammering away with her insistence that the child belonged to my brother. Yet, the DNA results remain undeniable, proving they share no genetic bond whatsoever. Doesn’t that strike you as utterly bizarre?”
Lucas thought to himself that this was not bizarre at all. The truth was clear—even Carola herself remained completely unaware that her child had been swapped at birth.
