Chapter 169 Ethan Determines the Brown Family's Fate

The San Francisco Parentage Testing Center.

Harper had parked her car just downstairs.

"Miss, your hunch was right. Ethan got suspicious and made a move. He had sought out Mitchell to conduct a paternity test," her informant reported.

Mitchell was Ethan's childhood buddy and worked at the testing center. Harper had predicted that Ethan wouldn't trust anyone else and would definitely approach Mitchell.

With a sneer, Harper remarked, "So all the effort was worth it."

It had taken considerable effort to secure a sample of Ethan's hair. But Ethan was no easy target; no tiger would allow its fur be plucked so easily.

She would have to resort to a different tactic.

"Do as I've instructed," Harper said, stepping out of the car.

Mitchell's vehicle was parked at the front, and he was heading toward the center carrying a sealed bag with samples of Ethan's and Justin's hair.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a muffled crash followed by the sound of car alarms echoed.

Mitchell turned, cursing under his breath as he realized an idiot had thrown a massive rock at his car.

"What about security?! How did he get in?" Mitchell was devastated, knowing his brand new and expensive car, costing well over three million, was now damaged.

"Catch that guy!" Mitchell exclaimed, on the verge of freaking out, his frustration boiling over.

With a thud, someone suddenly clumsily bumped into Mitchell, causing the sealed bag to fall to the ground.

Harper bent down swiftly, exchanged the bag, and handed it back to Mitchell with a smile. "Sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry."

"It's okay." Mitchell glanced at Harper and narrowed his eyes.

After a brief apology, Harper walked away.

Entering an alleyway, Harper took a deep breath to calm herself, looking down at the plastic bag she now held firmly in her hand.

"Got the hair samples; run the test now. I need to know the outcome," Harper spoke into her phone.
