Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

“Have your lawyer never told you about the wonders of DNA technology? Even without my parents, a test with my Aunt Violet could prove who I am.”

Carl was clueless about such matters. He turned and glared at Violet. “She wouldn’t dare!” “You don’t need to threaten her. Even if she refused to do the test, my parents are victims of an unsolved crime. Their DNA is still on file with the police.”
