?Chapter 316:
After Katelyn ended the call, her thoughts remained chaotic. Too many unanswered questions swirled in her mind.
Lise had initially hired those two people to mess with Katelyn, but when those armed men took them away, she seemed genuinely surprised. It was clear that she hadn’t known that would happen.
If T Organization had really taken Marlon and his mother, why would they target them? And why had they been released now?
These tangled questions only gave Katelyn a headache.
Thus, she forced herself to push the thoughts aside.
She needed to find them first to understand what had happened during those missing days.
Vincent arrived at the hospital as quickly as possible and picked up Katelyn.
“We need a n to handle this. They’ve taken control of the narrative,” he said.
Katelyn clenched her fists, and her eyes sharpened with fierce determination.
“They’ve staged this spectacle to force a connection between us. There’s definitely something wrong with that paternity test report.”
Vincent kept his eyes on the road as he drove steadily. “I’ve had Samuel reach out to theb. We’ll have the real results within an hour.”
He was referring to theb at Central Hospital, where another test had been run. They had never intended to rely on the report from Hearnd Hospital.
Katelyn nodded with determination and kept her fists clenched in silence.
At first, she had tolerated Marlon and his mother to see what they were nning. But now, with the interference of that mysterious organization, everything was spiraling out of control. Vincent elerated, getting Katelyn to the press conference as quickly as possible.
Inside, Marlon and his mother continued to proim loudly that they were Katelyn’s blood rtives.

When Katelyn arrived, the cameras immediately turned toward her, shes illuminating the room.
The old woman grinned, waving the document triumphantly in the air.
“Mia, the paternity test confirms it. You are truly my granddaughter.”
Marlon chimed in, “After so many years, we can finally reunite as a family.”
With all eyes on her, Katelyn moved forward, taking each step slowly and deliberately toward the stage.
The old woman kept her smile wide, masking the fear from their recent ordeal, during which they had been abducted at gunpoint. Katelyn stared at her with an unyielding gaze.
“Are you certain this report is genuine?”
The old woman widened her eyes in mock surprise, her voice carrying an air of confidence. “Do you doubt its authenticity? You did this test with us. I revealed the results to everyone the moment they were ready.”
After saying that, the old woman stared at Katelyn with a hint of sharpness in her eyes.
“What are you implying? Do you think we fabricated the report?”<fnfbc4> Discover more novels at f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fnfbc4>
“That’s precisely what I believe.”
Katelyn remained unusuallyposed, not even ncing at the report the old woman held. She knew it was fake and saw no need to inspect it.
The old woman’s face shifted to one of irritation, and she huffed dismissively.
“At the end of the day, you just see us as a burden because we’re poor, and you don’t want us to drag you down. If you had said that earlier, we wouldn’t havee all this way to see you. Mia, you’ve really let me down.”
Her words were a form of moral maniption.
Katelyn smiled with a cold, calcting gaze.
“Your n seems wless, but it has too many gaps.”
The old woman showed a moment of unease, while Marlon stared at Katelyn, anticipating her next move.
The atmosphere between them felt strangely off to Katelyn, as if they were not truly mother and son but instead, Marlon was the woman’s subordinate.
They had vanished for just two days. Why had the dynamics between them shifted so drastically?
Yet again, a lot could change in two days.
Katelyn turned her gaze away from the stage and cleared her throat.
She stepped forward to draw attention and announced, “I would like to first present a video to everyone.”
