Chapter 953: Chapter 953: What to Use as Proof?

“`
Subconsciously, Mrs.

Jenkins glanced at Olivia Jenkins and Hannah Jenkins.

Whenever her father’s things were mentioned, Hannah’s complexion would sour, and suddenly, Mrs.

Jenkins’s pupils shrank and her brow furrowed tightly.

The waiter served the dishes, and it was almost time to eat.

Olivia, in a soft voice, said, “Grandma, let’s look at it at home.

Let’s eat first.

It’s getting cold; we should eat while it’s hot.”
Mrs.

Jenkins nodded slightly, “Alright, I need to treasure this box.

I need to see what your father has left for us.”

Hannah remained silent and picked up her spoon to start on her soup.

Despite Hannah’s effort to remain calm, a hint of panic still betrayed her emotions.

Mrs.

Jenkins noticed Hannah’s slightly trembling hands and her gaze grew complicated.

…

The meal was nearly finished when Mrs.

Jenkins broached the main topic.

“Mr.

Alexander Marshall, we have both weathered many storms and understand the ways of the world better.

The children are young and ignorant, a failure of my instruction, for which I apologize.

But, Hannah is pregnant, and the child in her womb is undeniably Marshall blood.

Why not have them marry?

After all, the child inside is innocent!”
Mr.

Alexander Marshall glanced at Hannah with stern eyes, his thin lips curving into a cold sneer, “Who can confirm that the child she is carrying is certainly of Marshall blood?

What proof is there?”
Hannah yearned to defend herself, but due to Olivia’s threats, she dared not speak and could only look at her grandmother with pitiful eyes.

At these words, Mrs.

Jenkins grew displeased but still suppressed her anger, not wanting to cause a dispute.

The purpose of the dinner was to solve problems, not to create a rift between the two families.

“Mr.

Alexander Marshall, we can all understand the folly of young love.

You can’t be so excessive just because it’s Hannah.

There’s nothing wrong with having feelings.”
“Just because the two of them claim it’s my great-grandchild, does it mean it’s indeed my great-grandchild?

Over the years, how many women have seen an opportunity to rise in status through their children.

The Marshall Family has seen its fair share.

Therefore, I will only believe evidence.

Look at Star Marshall.

Just by seeing her resemblance to Daniel Marshall as a child, there’s no need for a DNA test.

Just by looking at that face, I acknowledge her.

Does Hannah dare to do the same?

Can you ask yourself if you have a clear conscience?

If you are confident, there’s no need to rush into becoming part of the Marshall Family right away, is there?”
Rage surged within her, but Mrs.

Jenkins still kept her composure and argued with determination, “Mr.

Alexander Marshall, does it seem fair to you that our Hannah has to endure the gossip of being unmarried and pregnant?

We are dining here.

I’ve come to talk with sincerity.

At my age, I’m not coveting the power of the Marshall Family.

If the children are happy, that will give me peace.”
Mr.

Alexander Marshall’s piercing eyes shone brilliantly, his expression very serious, “Mrs.

Jenkins, I understand your urgency for your granddaughter’s happiness, and I know you have no ulterior motives, simply wishing for your granddaughter’s happiness.

But, can everyone truly be as innocent as you believe?”
Striking at the heart of the matter, Mrs.

Jenkins did not continue the argument and proposed, “After they marry, they can settle abroad, not involving themselves in Serene City’s affairs nor coveting anything from the Marshall Family.

Just let them live a peaceful life overseas.”
Mr.

Alexander Marshall pursed his lips and said, “Your proposal is good.

If they can really do it, I have no objections.

However, there must be a binding agreement, and the paternity of the child must be confirmed.

I have consulted with experts.

After 16 weeks of pregnancy, amniotic fluid can be drawn for DNA testing.

As for the marriage, we can discuss it after I see the results of the DNA test.”
