?Chapter 1396:


    Still, he dismissed the test with a scoff, saying, “Anyone can buy fake results for the right price.” He tossed the document back on the table.


    Ethan and Brenna grabbed the document for a closer look, noting the official seal from the Shirie forensic center, which hinted at its possible authenticity. Curious, Brenna asked, “Where did you get my father’s hair?”


    A sly smile crossed Keira’s lips. “That’s not something you need to know. I have my own methods. Don’t use me of faking the test, either. I’m willing to do another DNA test if you insist. Bring Shepard here so we can discuss this matter properly.”


    Ethan stepped in with a suggestion. “It’ste. Here’s what I propose, Ms. Evans: let’s have you stay at a hotel for now. We’ll figure out the next steps, and tomorrow, we can all meet again to talk things through.”


    “Absolutely not! I’m not checking into some hotel! I’m staying here!” Keira dered, her voice sharp with defiance as she jabbed a finger toward the gathered crowd, her face alight with anger. “Don’t think I’m blind to your schemes. You’re trying to push me out of here and then get rid of me for good. That’s just the kind of thing someone with your wealth would pull. But I’m not budging. I’m staying right here until this mess is sorted, and only then will I leave.”


    Brenna regarded her with a cold stare. “That’s not an option, I’m afraid. What do you think this ce is? You think you can just waltz in and out as you please?”


    A chill of apprehension ran through Keira. Though Brenna spoke sparingly, there was an undeniable authority in her presence that overshadowed everyone else in the room. It unsettled Keira, stirring a flicker of fear.


    Clutching Sandra’s hand tightly, Keira sensed their shared dread that force might be used against them. They were no match for the burly security guards looming nearby.<fn73d0> The source of th?s content is Find★Novel</fn73d0>


    Sandra’s eyes, filled with fear, darted across the Harper family members. She pulled her mother protectively behind her and confronted Brenna, saying, “You’re Dad’s daughter, aren’t you? Well, I’m his daughter, too! What gives you the right to throw me out? You can’t force me to leave!”


    Brenna stepped closer, unruffled by Sandra’s boldness. She then instructed, “Darrell, kick them out. Notify the security team in thismunity that they’re not allowed back without our approval.”


    Every story starts at galn   ovels ;


    Keira saw Brenna as the most formidable member of the Harper family, more audacious than the rest, but she refused to be cowed. “If you dare kick us out, I swear, within an hour, all of Shirie will hear about your family’s scandal!”


    Brenna met her threat with icy calm. “If you dare spread nonsense online, you won’t make it through the night.”


    She had grown up unafraid of intimidation, and Keira’s words didn’t scare her at all.


    Keira was rendered at a loss for words.


    Darrell quickly called over a few guards who forcibly removed Keira and her daughter. Keira resisted, hurling insults until Darrell silenced her with a gag.


    After the two were kicked out, Giselle sank onto the couch, casting a relieved nce at Brenna. “Brenna, if you hadn’t gotten rid of them, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”


    “How to make it through the night… Having those two vile women in my home makes my skin crawl.”
