Sellers's actions today were clearly designed to rip off Aurora's respectable facade.
If the child is his, he's determined to take her back.
If she isn't, he loses nothing.
Judging by his behavior today, even if the kid is his, he definitely won't marry Aurora.
And..."
"And," Leonard finished for her, "he clearly hates her to her core. Otherwise, he wouldn't have exposed her like this."
Stella gave a small nod. "I'm just not sure exactly how much Joshua was involved."
"Sellers's behavior is definitely weird," Leonard noted. "I'll have someone look into what's been going on with him lately.
Also..."
Leonard looked down, hesitating. "Will the child's true identity really not be exposed?"
Although Miss Hayser was the one who swapped the babies, she had been relying on Stella's backing at the time, which meant they had used some of the Lerman family's resources.
Leonard knew perfectly well that Shay was a fake heiress.
"Their focus is entirely on who the father is," Stella replied. "I highly doubt anyone will suspect the child isn't biologically Aurora's.
Back then, Sherman Burton helped fake Aurora's DNA test. Since the baby isn't McCoy's or Sellers's, Sherman will just assume she's his.
But..."
Stella offered a faint smile. "Even if the child isn't Sherman's either, I doubt he'll care that much."
...
Since it was an expedited process, the Burton, Chapman, and Williams families all waited on-site for the results.
Sellers and McCoy both provided samples.
The laboratory had zero blind spots on its surveillance, and they could even watch the technicians working through the reinforced glass windows.
She called Joshua and asked him to meet her outside.
At this point, she didn't care about maintaining her dignified image or stringing along multiple men.
Aurora knew perfectly well that after the explicit video of her and Sellers was broadcast to the city's elite, someone as proud as Joshua would absolutely never want her.
And right now, saving her marriage was far more critical than trying to conquer Joshua.
In a split second, Aurora had made her choice.
She looked at Joshua like he was her final lifeline.
"Joshua, last time you said you'd grant me one wish, right? Can you help me fix the paternity test results?"
Joshua looked down at her, his expression unreadable. "Ms. Williams, the entire testing process is being conducted under the watchful eyes of three major families.
You should know better than anyone that manipulating those results is completely impossible."
