You couldn''t have it both ways. Even the most perfect n has its ws.


    The Camerons had engineered this scene to make the guests jealous of Ste''s good fortune, hoping to turn them against her and leave her defenseless. But their greed had created the very opening Joshua needed to turn their own motives against them.


    In this initial sh with Ste, the Camerons had gained no real advantage. Despiteing out swinging with so much evidence, they had only managed to fight to a stalemate.


    Leonard nced at Sellers, who was standing quietly amongst the guests. The Camerons were ipetent allies, a fact Sellers was surely aware of. Given how insidious Sellers was, and how long he had nned this, it was unlikely this was his only move to take down Ste. This was just the beginning; Sellers had another card to y.


    Lynne saw that she hadn''t achieved her goal and was now the object of suspicion herself. A flicker of panic crossed her eyes. The task of exposing Ste couldn''t be done by old Mrs. Cameron or her father, Aherne. The Camerons had originally hoped to use Joshua, someone close to Ste, to make the usation more credible. But after he had toyed with her, Lynne realized she couldn''t manipte him on such short notice. So, the thankless job had fallen to her. What she hadn''t expected was Joshua''s lightning-fast reaction, which hadpletely undermined her in the court of public opinion.


    Lynne quickly changed tactics. "If you don''t believe me, let''s just do the DNA test right here! We''ve invited a testing agency from the Burton Group. Ste''s rtionship with Mr. Burton is so good, surely the results from a Burton Group agency can be trusted, right?!"


    This time, Lynne went on the offensive, bringing up the Burton Group herself to prevent Joshua from using it against her. She


    continued, "I know what you''ll


    next that Aunt Nora''s blood sample might be fake. But whether her


    sample is real or


    not doesn''t matter


    All that matters is whether Ste shares a gic link with our Cameron family and the Williams family. In other words, my aunt''s sample is irrelevant."


    If Ste was a Cameron, she would match with them regardless of Nora''s presence. Likewise, even if Nora wasn''t a biological Cameron, if Ste was Skyler''s daughter, ske would definitely match with the Williamses. Even if Ste tried to argue that Nora was adopted by the Camerons, it would be a useless defense.


    Lynne looked at Joshua with a triumphant, challenging glint in her eyes. "Now, what else do you have to say?"


    Joshua smiled faintly. "What I have to say doesn''t matter. What''s most important...


    is what Mr. Skyler, Star''s father, has to say."


    Joshua had done an incredible job of exploiting the ws in the Camerons n in such a short time. But he knew they hade prepared, with Sellers backing them. He couldn''t reverse the situation with just a few words. The only thing he could do was prevent Ste from being forced into a public DNA test.


    At his words, everyone''s attention shifted to the Williams family, who, as rtives, were all present.


    Seeing the turn of events, Israel Williams''s eyes lit up with excitement. He was about to speak when Violet Yancey, standing beside him, pped him hard across the face.
