Chapter 87

Three in the morning.

Around the bonfire.

Burton was staring at his sister in a daze, obviously not fully grasping this pile of information.

Elaine sat next to him, whispering, “Did you really get it?”

Burton nodded, “I heard it, but why did our aunt grow up somewhere else instead of coming home?”

“You still don’t get it!” Elaine thought her brother was a bit slow on the uptake.

She explained again, “Our aunt was originally a kid from the Howard family. She was taken away from our home for some reason and was adopted by the Howard family. She always thought that she was a Howard until her foster father died and her foster mother remarried. The man she married happened to be someone from our Lopez family. After moving with her foster mother, she changed her last name. You should get it now!”

Scratching his head, Burton still didn’t get it.

He asked, “So, have grandpa and uncle confirmed that she’s our aunt now?”

“Not completely.” Elaine lowered her voice to avoid being recorded by the drone. “That’s why I came back. I need to get our aunt’s blood for a DNA test.”

“Are you gonna make her bleed?” Burton frowned, asking, “How?”

Elaine shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Burton looked at his sister, asking, “Don’t you have a plan?”

Elaine shook her head, “No.”

Elaine said, “That’s why I told you. Let’s think about it together.”

Burton was silent for a while, then delicately refused, “Actually, this is yours mission, it has nothing to do with me. Your job, your responsibility…”
