The man knew how to talk.
A few days later, the DNA lab called. The report was ready.
I went alone to pick it up.
The report was pages long, full of technical jargon.
I skipped to the end, my hands trembling as I read the results.
First, I saw the number “99.99%.” Then, the words “BIOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP CONFIRMED.”
My fingertips were shaking so hard the paper rustled.
The lab technician was unfazed, as if she’d seen it all before. She recited the standard disclaimer in a monotone.
“Ma’am, the results of this test are based solely on the samples you provided. If you have any questions, you can request a second test.”
I went to three different labs.
The result was the same every time.
Maximilian Graves and my new beastman handler were related by blood.
Jenna Croft was truly something else, always managing to take what belonged to others.
Another’s beastman, another’s identity, another’s fate…
I didn’t know how someone like that could be a female lead.
But I knew that when the truth cam
out, Jenna, Silas, and all those hateful readers would lose their
minds.
I regretted not getting a sample of Jenna’s hair for confirmation.
That was a mistake on my part.
I brought Maximilian back to my condo.
At first, he was joking around.
“Are you finally so moved by my persistence that you’ve decided to let me move in? I’m an excellent caretaker, you know. Calla, just give me a chance…”
His words died in his throat. I could feel the shock radiating from him.
He was staring at the handler who was currently looking after Annie.

He was speechless.
The resemblance.
It was uncanny.
No one could see it and not be stunned.
I laid out the three separate DNA reports on the table in front of him.
“Jenna Croft is not the true heiress. I don’t know how she managed to fool your parents, but the young woman standing before you is your real sister.”
The truth hit like a thunderclap.
The air went still.
But Maximilian recovered quickly, his expression hardening.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
I shrugged, spreading my hands.
“You know me. I don’t like to make claims without evidence.”
Maximilian and I returned to the Graves mansion.
Mrs. Graves, with Jenna at her side, met us at the door, blocking our way.
Jenna’s face was a mask of contempt, defiance, and provocation.
Mrs. Graves was clearly displeased.
“Maximilian, I’ve told you. Ms. Rhimes is not welcome in this house.”
The System chimed in.
[Oh, look, the villainess is back for another round of humiliation.]
【The FL has already gotten rid of the fake heiress and won over the parents. Once the villain has his car crash, the Graves family will be all hers. I don’t know where the villainess gets the nerve to show her face here again.]
Ignoring the commentary, I maintained a pleasant smile.
“Mr. and Mrs. Graves, I’m here today because I don’t want to see you being deceived, to see you pour out your guilt on the wrong person.”
A flicker of panic crossed Jenna’s eyes before she quickly hid it.

She put on a pitiful act.
“Ms. Rhimes, please don’t try to sow discord between me and my family. I can call the police…”
Maximilian cut her off.
“Mom, there’s someone I want you to meet.”
