Glancing down, Haley noticed several strands of hair.
She lifted her head, perplexed, and glanced at Kristian. “What’s this?”
With a grin, Kristian revealed, “These are Bella’s. I saved some during her last haircut.”
Haley felt overwhelmed by his assurance.
When did he devise such a scheme? And how did he think to preserve Bella’s hair beforehand?
“But what will happen if Matthew catches on?” Her hand shook as she held the bag. “He’s too sharp. How am I supposed to fool him right in front of him?”
Grasping her hand, Kristian encouraged, “Don’t worry. I have faith in you. The DNA results will speak for themselves. Matthew won’t be able to question you then. Once this is over, you’ll receive every penny you’re owed.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Haley nodded in agreement.
As Stella returned to Prosper Bay, Matthew also arrived at home.
Stepping out of the car, he asked about her well-being. “How are you feeling today? Is your hand still bothering you?”

“It’s no big deal.” Stella blinked and smiled. “The shoot went smoothly. I stumbled a couple of times, but I’ve adjusted it right away.”
“Try not to stress too much. Acting is new to you, so just go with the flow.”
After they chatted about her day on set, Stella assisted Matthew with his jacket, hanging it neatly. “Tomorrow, I have a DNA test scheduled with Haley.”
Matthew showed a hint of surprise.
He had noticed Stella’s earlier reluctance towards the test and had intended to find the right moment to discuss it. He hadn’t anticipated her broaching the subject first.
He nodded. “Alright, I’ll handle it.”
Then, he called Fernando, instructing, “Tomorrow morning, we’re proceeding with a paternity test in Prosperity Group’s private hospital.”
The next day, Stella and Haley rolled up to the private hospital.
They handed over their hair samples.
Passing the samples to the nurse, the doctor told Matthew, “It’s going to take three days for results. We will try our best to test it as soon as possible.”
Matthew just nodded.
They all departed from the hospital. Stella checked the time, realizing it was late. She said to Matthew, “Babe, drop Haley at the hotel on your way to work. I have to go to the set first, or I will be late.”
Matthew gave another nod.
Stella grabbed a cab and left.
