Chapter 749 Can You Perform a Paternity Test Here? In response, Sharon and Skylar appeared quite indifferent. After all, in a place like this, screams were not uncommon. Whether they were from men or women, they both heard them. And what they couldn’t afford to give was sympathy. Little did they know, trouble would come looking for them even if they didn’t seek it out. The door to the VIP room was violently pushed open, revealing a well-dressed but slightly disheveled woman who cried out to them, “Please, save me!”
Sharon was about to refuse when Joe suddenly stood up, looking at the woman in disbelief. “Get lost!” The thugs behind the woman wanted to reach out and grab her, but Joe sternly stopped them. The thugs understood that anyone sitting in the VIP room was not to be trifled with. However, this woman was also one of the auction items this time, and they couldn’t afford to lose her.
“What’s going on?” Dylan, who had walked over, frowned upon seeing the tense atmosphere in the VIP room. “This gentleman wants to keep auction item number 5,” one of the thugs hesitated as he explained to Dylan. “You know, once there’s a problem with an auction item, we have to take responsibility.” Joe’s gaze remained fixed on the woman, his brows furrowed tightly. “Consider it bought by me, no matter how much money you offer,” Joe said, looking at Dylan. Dylan hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.
Seeing someone stepping in, the thugs didn’t continue their pursuit and quickly left the area. Dylan, holding the investigation results, turned his gaze to the visibly frightened woman. He instructed the waiter outside the door, “Take this lady to freshen up…” “Wait.” Joe stopped the waiter and turned to Dylan. “Can you perform a paternity test here?”
With these words, even Sharon was shocked, not to mention Dylan.
“What’s going on?” Sharon was well aware of Joe’s background. “She can’t possibly be your daughter, can she?” Joe couldn’t possibly have a daughter of that age. Joe’s voice was ice-cold, and his gaze was unwaveringly fixed on the woman in front of him. “She looks exactly like my mother.” Bang! The teacup in Sharon’s hand shattered on the floor. He stared wide-eyed at Joe. “But your mother…” The news had been so widespread back then. Who didn’t know that the young heir of the Smith Group lost both parents overnight and began learning the ropes in the company at a young age? Now, how could there suddenly be a mother? Sharon examined the woman closely, confirming that she was very much alive and breathing. Joe’s brows furrowed tightly. “I don’t know. I’m not sure.” Dylan hadn’t expected such a twist and immediately called for medical personnel to collect samples. Perhaps due to excessive stress, the woman remained sitting in place,
seemingly in a daze, being very cooperative. “Everyone else is here for business, but unexpectedly, you came here and experienced all the services,” Sharon quipped.
After the paternity test, Dylan had a server escort her to another private room. “Keep a close eye on her; make sure she doesn’t escape.” Joe watched her departing figure, feeling like he was in a dream. How could someone who had been dead for over a decade suddenly appear? Dylan didn’t give him more time to be surprised. Instead, he promptly provided Joe with information about the four people in the surveillance. “These people are all part of Halcyonland’s underworld. After taking Charlotte, they put her into an all-black car and then disappeared.” Dylan explained, “There is no additional surveillance around, so this is all we could find.
