Chapter 281

Victor Thompson's gaze locked onto the DNA report in Ethan Sullivan's hands.

Ethan waited eagerly for his father to recognize the truth. Instead, Victor snatched the document and tore it to shreds.

"Ridiculous!" Victor's face darkened. "Nicole and I already did a paternity test. She's my biological daughter! Ethan, has that scheming Susan Thompson completely brainwashed you?"

"Dad!"

Ethan stomped his foot in frustration. "Nicole is an impostor! She hurt Mom and keeps trying to kill Susan!"

He grabbed Victor's arm. "If you don't believe me, come to the hospital right now and do a DNA test with Susan yourself!"

"Test with her?" Victor sneered. "So you can fabricate more evidence?"

Ethan's eyes reddened with anger. "Dad! I swear on my life this report is authentic! Nicole stole Susan's hair for the original test!"

"What credibility do you have?" Victor glared. "You can't even manage your own life properly!"

"Dad..." Ethan's voice cracked. "When Mom wakes up and learns the truth, she'll be devastated—"

"Enough!" Victor grabbed a broom and swung at him. "Keep spouting nonsense and I'll break your legs!"

Ethan dodged frantically, shouting while running: "When Mom wakes up, I'll make you kneel on durians!"

After escaping the room, Ethan punched the wall.

His eyes burned with determination. Even if his father refused to acknowledge Susan, he would protect his sister.

In the hospital room, Nicole Capra wept dramatically.

"Andrew..." She threw herself into Andrew Lucas's arms. "Why does Susan have to humiliate me like this..."

Andrew stiffened.

He stared at the damp stain on his shirt, stomach churning. Why did this woman produce so much snot and tears?

"Stop crying." He patted her back awkwardly, already planning to discard the contaminated outfit.

His phone rang.

Andrew seized the excuse to push Nicole away. "Leo?"

"Mr. Lucas, we've recovered partial footage from the hotel surveillance!"
