There was no blood relation shown in this report.

Tarquin’s brow furrowed as he examined the DNA test results. He felt an odd mix of emotions though he had somewhat anticipated this outcome.

After all, acknowledging their relationship would be in her best financial interest, no matter how one looked at it.

“It might be because of that night at the bar when Ms. Thorne kissed him. It probably triggered some memories.”
