Chapter 321: The Last DNA Test

Chapter 321: Chapter 321: The Last DNA Test

Javier nodded, his tone flat but firm. "Yes, we need to do another DNA test."

Mrs. Prescott didn’t quite understand. She turned to look at Mr. Prescott in confusion.

Mr. Prescott pondered for a moment before asking hesitantly, "Javier, do you think there was a problem with the first two tests?"

"I do," Javier replied.

Hearing this, Mrs. Prescott was stunned at first, then overcome with a mix of surprise and joy. If the first two paternity tests were flawed, did that mean the conclusion that Sienna wasn’t related to them was likely wrong? However, wouldn’t doing another DNA test be too much of a bother for Sienna? Anyone would get annoyed being asked to draw blood for tests over and over again.

Worry crept into her heart. "Javier, Ian," she asked, conflicted, "how did you find out there was an issue with the previous tests?"

Ian walked to the door and checked it warily. They were in a presidential suite, and right now, it was just the four of them. Their assistants and bodyguards were stationed outside, unable to hear their conversation. He walked back and recounted the phone call he had received from Julian yesterday.

A flash of astonishment crossed Mr. Prescott’s refined, composed face. "There’s a problem with Theodore Dunn?"

Mrs. Prescott was just as shocked. Theodore was the Prescott family’s private doctor. He had worked with them for years and had always been trustworthy. Since he was around their age, Mr. and Mrs. Prescott usually treated him like a friend. And now, they were suddenly being told that there was a problem with him?

Ian narrowed his eyes slightly. "After getting Julian’s call last night, Javier and I launched a secret investigation into Theodore. We found that he has indeed crossed paths with Ophelia Warren. On the surface, their relationship isn’t close—they only contact each other occasionally. Other than that, we haven’t found anything suspicious."

At the mention of Ophelia’s name, Mrs. Prescott’s expression cooled. She had been following Sienna Everett’s news online recently, so she naturally knew how hostile Ophelia was toward her.

Looking displeased, Mrs. Prescott asked, "Why would Theodore be in contact with that Ophelia? Based on their ages, could Theodore be her uncle?"

Ian shook his head. "We haven’t figured out their exact relationship yet."

Mr. Prescott clasped his hands behind his back, his weathered eyes darkening. "Before the Prescott family started working with Theodore, I had his background investigated. We didn’t find any issues back then." Pausing for a moment, he asked out of caution, "Is Julian’s word trustworthy?"

Javier considered it for only a second before vouching for him. "Dad, it’s absolutely trustworthy."

Mr. Prescott was surprised. "You trust him that much?"

Javier shook his head slightly. "It’s not that I trust Julian. It’s that this matter concerns Sienna, so Julian absolutely will not make a mistake."

He trusted Julian’s feelings for Sienna.

Mr. Prescott let out a heavy sigh. After all, he had been friends with Theodore for years, making this somewhat hard to accept. However, Mr. Prescott had taken control of the Prescott family at a young age. He was neither a fool nor a soft-hearted man. If Theodore was compromised, he would absolutely deal with him.

Moreover, if Theodore really had tampered with the DNA tests, that meant he was actively stopping the Prescott family from getting their daughter back. Why would he do that? The loss of their youngest daughter all those years ago had been rather bizarre to begin with...

After a moment of deep thought, Mr. Prescott looked at his two sons and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Ian said, "When we meet with Sienna tomorrow, we’ll trouble her to do one more paternity test. This time, we’ll have two doctors do it—one sample for Theodore, and another for a top hospital specialist. We need to keep this a secret from Theodore, though. We’ll let him think he’s the only one running the test. Once the reports are out, we’ll know if the two results match, which will also prove whether he’s been tampering with them behind our backs."

Mr. Prescott mulled it over for a few seconds and nodded. "That works."

Mrs. Prescott couldn’t help but feel nervous. Tomorrow was their final chance to find out if Sienna was truly her daughter. Recalling their earlier conversation, she asked suspiciously, "Javier, Ian, from what you were just saying, it sounds like Julian and Sienna have a very close relationship. Is he courting her?"

Ian paused, then curled his lips into a smile. "Mom, why do you ask?"

Mrs. Prescott waved her phone. "I’ve been following Sienna’s news online. I saw that Julian went to the art exhibition for her, and a couple of days ago, he publicly registered an X account to support her. He’s definitely trying to court her! I’ve been through it, I know how these things look!"

The smile on Ian’s lips deepened as he replied ambiguously, "Mom, you can ask her yourself when we see her tomorrow."

Mrs. Prescott was instantly dissatisfied. "You child, what’s wrong with telling me in advance?"

"I’m just afraid of startling you," Ian replied.

Thinking about Sienna marrying at such a young age and being with Julian, Ian felt a strong wave of resentment.

Javier felt even more resentful. He was overcome by the inexplicable feeling that their family’s prized Sparkle was being snatched away.

Sensing the deep resentment radiating from their eldest and second sons, Mr. and Mrs. Prescott exchanged a blank look. Just what exactly was the relationship between Sienna and Julian?

With that, Ian took out his phone and called Sienna. Under the intense gesturing of his parents, he turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone on the table. Mr. and Mrs. Prescott immediately leaned in with excitement, hovering close to the device to hear Sienna’s voice. Javier leaned in as well.

Looking at the three heads gathered in a circle, staring intently at the ringing phone, Ian was left speechless. Couldn’t they show a little restraint? It was just a phone call!

The next second, a girl’s crisp, melodious voice came through the receiver. "Hello?"

Ian, who had been full of restraint just a moment ago, immediately abandoned his dignity and leaned in too. Now four heads were gathered in a circle, surrounding the tiny phone in the middle.

"Sienna, it’s me," Ian quickly spoke up, a smile unconsciously coloring his tone. "Are you busy right now?"

"Not really. I’m in Gamber right now."

"Gamber? You went to Gamber?"

"Yeah. There’s a damaged ancient tomb here. The archaeologists ran into some problems during the excavation, so Director Jarvis asked me to come over and see if I could help."

Hearing this, Mrs. Prescott swelled with pride. Sienna was so amazing. She just wondered if the work was exhausting.

Ian voiced his concern. "Sienna, take care of your health. Don’t overwork yourself. Make sure you rest when you need to!"

Not to be outdone, Javier stiffly squeezed out a few words of his own, "Sienna, make sure you rest."

Ian was speechless. What was that supposed to mean? Was his older brother suddenly speaking up to make his presence known, trying to steal Sienna’s attention from him again?

Mr. and Mrs. Prescott also wanted to say something to make their presence known, but since they hadn’t formally met yet, they were afraid that speaking up out of nowhere would startle Sienna and make her uncomfortable. They had no choice but to force themselves to hold back.

"It’s fine, I’m strong and healthy. I’m not tired! By the way, about meeting your parents tomorrow—Julian is coming with me. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, Ian raised his eyebrows slightly. He glanced up at his parents, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Of course. You can do whatever you want; no need to worry about us."

"Okay, got it!"

After chatting for a few more sentences, the call ended. Mr. and Mrs. Prescott were even more curious now. Just what exactly was the relationship between Sienna and Julian? She was bringing him along tomorrow? It seemed their relationship was very unusual indeed...
