Chapter 162: Display Chapter 162: Display And then there was the fact that she had been adopted at six.

That was all he had, her dance, her adoption.

Nothing else.

Their faces weren’t even that similar, though he knew better than to rely on that.

A woman’s face could change countless times before she even reached adulthood.

A DNA test.

That was an option.

And besides, he couldn’t do it without her permission.

Arthur exhaled sharply and leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.
