?Chapter 1395:


    With icy stares, Ethan and Brenna studied the woman, quickly catching on to her scheme for money, which made handling her demands far simpler.


    Keira’s anticipation crashed when she realized the man stepping out of the car wasn’t Shepard—it was a much younger man.


    The moment Ernst stepped inside, Keira’s daring demands reached his ears. Relief settled over him, knowing he hadn’t allowed his father to deal with this. Had his fathere instead, this shameless woman would have caused a scene and tried to squeeze money out of him.


    Truthfully, Shepard hade back from his trip earlier. But instead of heading straight home, he’d gone to Ernst so they could work out a n together. They had decided it was better for Ernst to handle the confrontation.


    Keira’s disappointment twisted into anger. “Who are you? Where is Shepard? Tell him toe here!” Her voice rose as she red at Ernst. “What, he thinks hiding from me will solve anything? I’ve brought my daughter here; let’s see how long he can keep avoiding us!”


    Keeping his cool, Ernst asked, “Tell me, what is it you want?”


    Keira had little choice but to face Ernst directly. “I want money, and I want my daughter treated like a real Harper, just like your sister. She should have shares in the family business, a slice of the wealth, and even a shot at bing the CEO of thepany. Everything your sister has, my daughter deserves as well.”


    Gesturing for everyone to sit, Ernst turned to Keira. “So this girl you’ve brought—are you really sure she’s my father’s daughter? For all we know, you could have brought any child here and tried to pass her off as his. Do you really think the Harper family will fall for that?”


    In his mind, Ernst couldn’t help but question why Keira had waited so long to show up if this girl truly belonged to his father. Surely she would have brought her here much earlier if her ims were real. For that reason, Ernst doubted her story and suspected the girl wasn’t rted to his father.


    He turned toward Giselle and offered reassurance. “Mom, please try to stay calm. I’ll handle this. There’s no need to worry.”

    Giselle gave a silent nod. Past experiences had left her inclined to believe the girl might be Shepard’s. So she hadn’t been calm earlier. Now, sheposed herself.


    “Alright. You take care of it,” she replied.<fn6cbb> Th?s chapter is updated by F?ndNovel</fn6cbb>


    Across the room, Keira’s daughter sat silently, a picture ofposure. Her mother had already warned her to keep quiet and remain still. Without saying a word, she let her appearance speak for itself. Nobody could ignore just how much she looked like Shepard. A DNA test almost seemed unnecessary.


    Keira had anticipated this issue. “I have proof.”


    She retrieved a document from her bag and tossed it onto the table with a flourish. “This is a DNA test report. See for yourself.”


    Ernst took the paper and scanned it, sharing it with Giselle. The results imed that Sample One was the biological father of Sample Two.


    It stated that hair collected from Shepard matched with the girl, whose name was Sandra Harper.


    How daring of this girl to use the surname Harper.


    Ernst couldn’t shake a sense of unease. Not only did this girl have features that mirrored his father’s, but she also carried the same surname. Was it possible she really was a Harper?
