But coincidentally, the DNA similarity result between Dolores and Jolene was as high as 99.99. In the medical field, there was talk of âmother and childâ who were biologically related.
In Jeffery and Marinaâs eyes it should have been clear that this DNA comparison result was between Matthew and Jolene.
They had no idea that Dolores had switched the silverware. Therefore, they thought that the samples they had obtained belonged to Matthew.
The result was passed on to Jeffery, proving that Matthew was Joleneâs âsonâ.
Arguably, that cleared up all their doubts about Matthewâs identity.
Then all that remained was for Marina to see the close relationship between Dolores and Victoria.
Jeffery still âlovedâ Matthew. However, he could not accept that Matthewâs wife had a close relationship with Victoria.
In short, Jeffery was now certain that Matthew was Joleneâs biological son. And that is because all the processes, from the collection of Matthewâs sample to the performance of the laboratory test, were carried out by a person he trusted.
Therefore, he had a lot of faith in the result, and he could say that he was very confident about it.
But he did not expect Dolores to realize it first and exchange her cutlery for Matthewâs.
gðªðµð·Ïvððµð¼.cøm â check it out!
Doloresâ thoughts at that moment were that Jolene had already passed away. The DNA comparison could only be done with a living person. So she swapped her cutlery with Matthewâs.
It was because they were going to compare Matthewâs DNA sample with Victoriaâs after they had collected her sample. She knew that Victoria and Matthew were biologically related as mother and son. Jeffery would find out if he performed the DNA comparison.
At that point, she thought that, if she swapped her silverware with Matthewâs, then she would be the one to be compared to Victoria. The test results would prove unequivocally that they were not biological mother and child. Then no one would discover the fact that Matthew was Victoriaâs son.
However, Dolores did not expect that the sample they had collected would be used to make a DNA comparison with the DNA left behind by Jolene before she passed away.
The test resulted in a âmother-sonâ relationship.
That meant that the test result with Doloresâ DNA sample and Joleneâs DNA showed that they were related by blood.
Dolores and Jolene were biologically related.
But this was by mistake. No one knew the truth to be true.
Jeffery only believed that Matthew was Joleneâs son.
Now he hated Dolores because she was close to Victoria, the woman who had destroyed Joleneâs marriage at the time.
Dolores, in his opinion, was indiscriminate and disliked him. He even thought Dolores didnât deserve Matthew.
Therefore, he wanted Matthew and Dolores to separate. The daughter of one of his colleagues, who was in the same unit as him, caught his eye.
She was pretty and he had watched her grow up. He liked her personality and family circumstances.
Hence, Jeffery purposely asked Matthew to help him take the document so he would have the opportunity to be in contact with her.
Matthewâs identity appeared there, and he was now in a hidden marriage with Dolores, except that he had personally announced Doloresâ identity to the companyâs employees.
But they were all curious.
After all, they didnât hold a wedding ceremony, and there was no sign that they wanted to get married first.
Matthew was still an eligible bachelor in the eyes of the outside world.
He was the man many noblewomen wanted to marry.
Although Jefferyâs colleagueâs family, the Chambers Family, was not particularly wealthy, it was a powerful family.
The genealogy of the Chambers Family was even more impressive than that of the Harris Family.
Jeffery did not do this for his own benefit, but for Matthewâs benefit. Matthewâs future would undoubtedly be brighter if he allied himself with the Chambers Family in marriage.
Besides, the girl was not only thoughtful and knowledgeable, she was brilliant. She was also pretty. But most importantly, she would not be as inconsiderate as Dolores who had a close relationship with Victoria.
There was nothing about her that Jeffery didnât like.
Marina took the initiative to find Dolores this time, which was also Jefferyâs strategy.
Marina went to find Dolores and Jeffery set up a meeting with Matthew. Of course, not only with Matthew but also with someone else, Chloe.
Jefferyâs goal was to cause a misunderstanding between Matthew and Dolores so that they would break up.
Jefferyâs original plan was to arrange a date with Matthew and Chloe to meet. At the same time, Marina invited Dolores to eat at the same restaurant. Then, during that time, she would excuse herself from going out and leave only Matthew and Chloe there, leaving Dolores to see this, allowing her to misinterpret the relationship between Matthew and Chloe. This would create a contradiction between them, causing their separation.
But Marina now regretted it. She looked at Dolores: âIâm old now, how can I still wear this kind of clothes?â.
Dolores smiled as she said, âYouâre not old. Leave the clothes business to me.â
Dolores had already made up her mind. She wasnât fawning over Marina because Marina treated Matthew well.
Dolores was willing to treat Marina and Jeffery as members of her family.
She had no rights and was in no position to investigate what was right or wrong in the past.
The current situation was the best.
It was also the one Victoria and Jayden always maintained.
The smile on Marinaâs face became more unnatural, and she took Doloresâ hand, âYouâ¦â
Marina was about to say something, but stopped herself. She couldnât say it.
Finally she sighed, âDo you know about Matthew and Victoriaâs relationship?â
Dolores suddenly became nervous and nodded earnestly, âYes, I know about it.â
âWhy would you want to be around her if you know the relationship between Matthew and her?â.
Marina was quite pleased with Dolores.
Except for the fact that Dolores had let her down in the Victoria affair, she couldnât think of anything else she didnât like about Dolores.
If Jeffery hadnât had a knot in his heart about Victoria for so many years, he might not have made such a determined decision to separate Dolores and Matthew.
Dolores was very nervous. Could it be that they already knew?
She held back her outburst and forced herself to remain calm, âI donât have a close relationship with herâ¦â
Marina sighed again. If she hadnât seen for herself that Dolores was standing next to Victoria, she would definitely have believed Dolores.
Marina said sincerely and earnestly, âMatthew was born to Jolene, and he is the only heir of the Nelson Family. His identity is undoubted. However, he is also Jefferyâs only nephew, the only son of Jefferyâs sister, who was born to the same mother as he was.
Jefferyâs concern and love for Matthew are also undeniable. But you are differentâ¦â.
Dolores came from the Flores Family, which had already been torn and broken. Dolores was the only one left. She no longer had any leverage from her family.
She had a close relationship with Victoria, which meant she was not in the same boat as Matthew.
This was most disappointing to Marina and Jeffery.
If Dolores could tell right from wrong, she couldnât be close to Victoria.
Dolores took the weight off her shoulders. According to Marina, did she mean that she was already sure that Matthew was born of Jolene?
As long as Jeffery didnât find out the truth, it wasnât a big deal to her.
âI know.â Dolores could vaguely understand the meaning of Marinaâs phrases.
Matthewâs position was noble, but Doloresâ was different.
The Flores Family had suffered a setback. It could be said that Dolores had no one to trust. She was nothing if Matthew did not take her under his wing.
She was well aware of that.
But she did not grasp the underlying meaning.
âI suddenly remembered that I have other things to take care of. Next time Iâll buy you lunch.â
Marina couldnât bear to lie to Dolores and let her misunderstand Matthew.
She was aware that she was impulsive and that Jeffery might get angry, but she still couldnât separate Dolores and Matthew.
Marina left in a hurry and Dolores didnât have a chance to ask her to stay. She could sense that Marina had not only come looking for her to eat, but seemed to have another purpose.
She had no idea if Marinaâs purpose had been fulfilled.
Anxiety welled up in her heart. Her heart was fluttering and congested to the point that it was hard to breathe.
He covered his heart with his hand and stood in front of the French window. She lowered her head and looked out the window at the people on the street.
She went over everything she and Marina had said to see if there was anything wrong.
They had only said a few sentences, and they all seemed to have nothing wrong with them.
However, her mood was still inexplicably depressed.
It was not even a year since he had returned to the country. Yet so much had been going on around her, and almost everything that happened had to do with her.
Everything that happened was beyond her expectations, including the good, the bad, and the uncontrollable.
She slowly closed her eyes and tried to calm herself.
She could even hear her heartbeat clearly in the quiet room.
Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dubâ¦.
Suddenly, a warmth slowly surrounded her from behind. She opened her eyes sharply and turned her head â¦.
