Chapter 12 The Shattered Dream Of Wealth

A sensation was caused by Ericko’s statement.

No one had anticipated such an outcome, and immediate discussions ensued.

Maggie pursed her lips, remaining silent.

As expected, her brother always had the courage to set things right. Otherwise, other families would find it difficult to minimize their losses in such situations due to concerns about their reputation.

On the sidelines, Vanessa was stunned, turning her head towards Ericko on the stage in disbelief, her face frozen.

How could this be?

What did Ericko mean?

Phillip and Fiona also stood motionless, with Phillip unable to restrain himself from asking, “Ericko, what do you mean? Is there a mistake?”

As he spoke, Phillip couldn’t help but glance at Vanessa, who was not far away, his eyes becoming red.

However, with just one look, he unavoidably noticed Maggie beside her. The girl had a radiant and delicate face with a hint of aloofness in her features. Her eyes were sharp and clear, like precious gems.

“Dad, the testing center just called. They said there was an error with the DNA samples.” Phillip was brought back to the present moment by Ericko’s words before he could dwell on his thoughts.

Vanessa tightly gripped the wine glass, her expression changing. The smile that hadn’t completely disappeared now appeared strained and unattractive.

Upon hearing Ericko’s confident response, Phillip’s heart sank a little. His gaze towards Vanessa became more probing, and some of the usual warmth was replaced with something less affectionate.

This matter was not only about the DNA test results. It also involved the jade pendant in Vanessa’s hand.

Initially, Vanessa came with the jade pendant, and later, she suggested the paternity test. Ericko didn’t mention the jade pendant, attributing the mistake solely to the test results, evidently saving Vanessa some face and not wanting to make the situation too unsightly.

But if Vanessa was not truly his and Fiona’s child, then it was a deliberate deception!

Facing Phillip’s cold gaze, Vanessa felt her throat tighten, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

“Phillip… Fiona’s vision darkened, but she forced herself not to faint. Over the years, there had been people falsely claiming relationships, but this time, it truly shattered her brief happiness.

“Mr. Adam… What… what is happening?” Vanessa couldn’t help but speak, her heart heavy with unease..
