?Chapter 318:


    “I have obtained thetest paternity test report, which confirms that Katelyn is not rted to you two by blood.”


    Vincent’s gaze was cold and unwavering as he looked at the old woman. His voice carried a chilling tone that resonated throughout the room.


    A few minutes earlier, he had received an expedited paternity test report from Samuel. He forwarded the document to Katelyn, and soon it appeared on therge screen.


    The old woman immediately stood to refute this. “This report must be a forgery. You must have gone to great lengths to fabricate evidence to deny any blood rtion.”


    Vincent responded firmly, “You are the real forger.”


    He then stepped onto the stage, moving purposefully until he stood beside Katelyn. Hismanding presence and intense gaze offered her reassurance, while the old woman was struck by a fresh wave of fear and a deep sense of danger.


    Despite her outwardposure, her clenched fists and the dangerous gleam in her eyes betrayed her true feelings. She realized that Vincent was a threat that could not be ignored.


    Katelyn watched Vincent with keen interest. He was known for never making baseless usations. His public revtion indicated that he must have substantial evidence linking the old woman and Marlon to the forgery.


    At that moment, therge screen disyed yet another twist—a recording.


    The recording featured the doctor who had administered Katelyn and the duo’s paternity test. In it, the doctor admitted to being bribed by Lise to falsify the test results.


    The new evidence piled on top of the previous usations, further implicating the old woman and Marlon. The perceptive crowd now understood the magnitude of the deception that had been unveiled before them.

    Marlon’s face turned ashen, and he desperately wanted to flee the stage in that moment.


    Meanwhile, the old woman continued to protest stubbornly through gritted teeth. “You fabricated all these things beforehand! They are all lies!”


    Upon observing her refusal to ept the truth, a trace of mockery appeared in Katelyn’s eyes. She approached the old woman step by step and spoke sarcastically, “You went to such lengths to try to tie me to your side. Unfortunately, your n is embarrassingly foolish and riddled with mistakes.”


    Exasperated by anger, the old woman red at Katelyn.


    “Katelyn, you are nothing but selfish and hypocritical. You’ve done everything possible to keep us at arm’s length, fearful that we might lower your status. Had I recognized your spitefulness earlier, I would have ended you from the very beginning.”


    Katelyn frowned slightly. Those words sounded strangely familiar. After thinking for a moment, she remembered a simr sentiment expressed by Sharon in the past. Sharon had once said that she regretted not ending Katelyn’s life sooner, her face filled with disgust, showing how much she wanted Katelyn dead.


    However, Sharon had indeed raised Katelyn. The old woman, on the other hand, was apletely different story.


    Katelyn’s eyes hardened with cold resolve. “If you regret it now, you’re far toote.”


    As soon as those words left her lips, Katelynshed out with a swift blow aimed straight at the old woman’s face. Her sudden and fierce attack caught everyone off guard, leaving them stunned. Nobody had anticipated Katelyn would strike so quickly.


    Even Vincent was shocked. Still, he recognized that there was a deeper motive behind Katelyn’s actions.


    Although Katelyn’s attack came without warning and was carried out with blinding speed, the old woman reacted on instinct, intercepting Katelyn’s hand with her wrist while stepping back.


    Her true abilities were now on disy for all to see.


    The strength and agility she demonstrated were far beyond what anyone would expect from someone of her age. Katelyn pulled her hand back, her eyes filled with a cold, piercing disdain.


    “You are not the person you imed to be. Who are you, really?”


    From the moment she had stepped into the arena, Katelyn had felt that something was off.


    Her sharp instincts immediately told her that while the old woman appeared to be the same as before, there was a distinct gap between her real personality and the mere mimicry she disyed.


    This impostercked the sharpness that the real old woman had, and Marlon’s behavior only heightened Katelyn’s suspicions. The dynamic between the two—this so-called “mother and son”—now seemed more like that of a superior issuing orders to an underling than a genuine family bond.


    Driven by this startling realization, Katelyn moved quickly to uncover the truth. Every clue she found seemed to confirm her instincts.<fn64b6> For more chapters visit f?ndnovel</fn64b6>


    Marlon had already begun quietly retreating to a shadowed corner, trying to distance himself from the confrontation that was unfolding. Meanwhile, the old woman continued to cling to her fabricated story, acting as though she knew nothing of what was truly happening.
