Chapter 405: She’s Your Cousin

Chapter 405: She’s Your Cousin

Joseph went to the hospital early in the morning.

He did not expect to see a familiar face at the entrance of the laboratory when he sent the samples infor testing.

It was Wendy.

“Cousin, why are you here so early?”

Wendy smiled elegantly and calmly.

Joseph narrowed his eyes, unable to see through her thoughts at this moment.

“I feel unwell, so I came for a check-up,” he said indifferently, but the smile that he usually had on hisface disappeared.

Wendy maintained her grace. “Cousin, probably you’re not the one to be checked, right?”

“Wendy, what do you want to say?” Both of them were busy, so a wild guess was unnecessary.

What surprised him was being followed by Wendy. He was unaware of that.

“Cousin, don’t doubt your alertness. I didn’t follow you here.”

Wendy saw through him at a glance. “I was just guessing that you would be here.”

“What exactly do you want to say?” His patience was wearing thin.

“Cousin, you’ve always treated me most nicely and held me dear. Why are you so rude to me whenEmily is around?”

Wendy was relaxed. Anyway, he had to wait here for the report. In fact, it was useless for him to beanxious.

“Your DNA test will probably take four hours.”

She blurted out the words ‘DNA test’. There was no need to hide it anymore.

Joseph’s expression darkened.

“Cousin, there’s a coffee shop downstairs. Why don’t we chat and wait?” Wendy smiled happily.

“I have to stay here.” Just in case, her people would sabotage it.

“Cousin, you’re being over cautious. How are we going to get along in the future?”

Wendy tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled charmingly.

“If I’m going to make a move, next time you can replace somewhere else quietly to run a check. How manytimes can I foil it?”

As she saw his expressionless face, her smile faded away and she looked at him indifferently. “Emilytold you that I am not Talia’s daughter, right?”

“But Emily didn’t tell you she is, did she?”

This was something that confused Wendy all night.

Joseph knew about the blood relationship, but in front of Sawyer he admitted sleeping with Emily,calmly and even cheerfully.

Wendy wondered if there was something he didn’t know.

“What exactly do you want to say? Just be straightforward”

Joseph thought that she was right. Even if she stopped him this time, as long as she was still in thisfamily, he would have countless opportunities for the DNA test.

She couldn’t keep the secret that she wasn’t Sawyer’s granddaughter, once Joseph becamesuspicious.

Or Wendy would kill him.

Joseph was relieved at figuring out this possibility.

“You’re in City L. What do you think you can do to me?”

“Of course, I can’t do anything to you. You’re a Gale. City L is your territory. I’m a weak woman. Do Ifrighten you?”

“Where are we going to talk?” Joseph assumed that she was well-prepared, since she came to him.

If she had something to tell him, he preferred to hear it earlier so as to save each other’s time.

“If you don’t want outsiders to know, then why don’t you get in my car?”

…

Both cars were in the underground garage of the hospital.

She didn’t bring any bodyguards. When Joseph got into the car, he secretly observed the surroundings.

Joseph smelled nothing peculiar nor trouble.

“Cousin, we can’t have a good talk if you’re so cautious!”

“Cut the crap.” The fact that Wendy followed him here today meant that she wasn’t Sawyer’sgranddaughter.

Joseph had no patience for a liar.

In his opinion, her manner, which she thought was charming, was sheer hypocrisy. It was disgusting.

“Cousin, you’re biased completely in favor of Emily.”

Before Wendy could finish, Joseph reached the door handle.

“If she goes on about such drivel, why would I waste my time here?” he thought to himself.

“Joseph, I’m not Sawyer’s granddaughter.”

Wendy’s expression darkened as she stared at his cold profile.

“Since you believe Emily, then I don’t feel weird to admit.”

Joseph’s fingertips stiffened for a moment. He turned to look at her and narrowed his cold eyes.

“Finally.”

“You took my hair and Sawyer’s things for a DNA test. I can do nothing but admit it.”

Wendy snorted coldly.

She didn’t know why all the men were biased towards Emily.

Their trust in Emily added to Wendy’s curiosity.

Fortunately, Hunter was willing to accept Wendy because of her title as a lady from the Gale family.

Wendy was confident but not arrogant.

Hunter was nice to her now. She believed that it was partly because he got bored with Emily.

Another reason was Wendy’s current identity, as well as everything behind the identity.

Otherwise, Hunter would ignore her like before. He had never taken Wendy seriously.

But now, Hunter allowed her to approach him.

She wasn’t upset at all.

For her, what a rational man like Hunter saw in her didn’t matter, whether it be the status or herself.

Anyway, all she wanted was to be with him.

“Joseph, I am indeed not your grandfather’s granddaughter. However, I do not understand why you didsuch a stupid thing last night. You admitted forcing Emily in front of them.”

Wendy was curious about his intention.

Perhaps Joseph didn’t know that Emily was Sawyer’s granddaughter and that Joseph and Emily werecousins.

Once this was exposed, Sawyer would be infuriated.

“What do you mean?” Joseph had a hunch that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Back then, Emily told Joseph that she had a DNA test. It said she was not Sawyer’s granddaughter.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong if he loved Emily.

Sawyer was now keen on their engagement. If he told Sawyer that he and Emily broke up after Sawyercalmed down, Sawyer wouldn’t feel so bad.

Now, Wendy’s gaze made Joseph somewhat uneasy.

An idea came to him that Emily made a mistake.

Smiling, Wendy looked at him with her head tilted to one side and gave him the answer.

“You and your cousin were caught in bed by the Gale family. So, do you think it is nothing?”

“Isn’t this man a fool?” Wendy thought to herself.

“What are you talking about?” Joseph clenched his fist.

“The previous DNA test has made it clear that there’s a girl related to Sawyer, right?”

She laughed wildly. “One of the blood sample was Emily’s. In other words, Emily is your cousin!”
