The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 405

Sensing Monica’s odd behavior, Citrine ordered a thorough investigation into the Saunders family once she got home.

She hadn’t expected to discover that the man she’d encountered at the Titan Showdown was also a Saunders.

Thinking back on the strange things Wade had said to her at the competition, and connecting those with Monica’s peculiar actions, everything finally made sense.

Citrine had figured out exactly what Monica was after that day.

So it turned out Monica had wanted her DNA sample for testing.

Citrine sat in her chair, her gaze darkening as she mulled it over.

Then she plucked a hair from her head, sealed it in a plastic bag, and instructed someone to deliver it to Crestwood Medical Research Center. She also had them collect Hilda’s DNA sample and send it along for testing.

Hilda had spent years searching for her lost daughter, so her DNA was stored at the hospital, easy to retrieve.

Crestwood Medical quickly ran the test, placing both samples together and, in less than an hour, sent the results to Citrine.

She opened the file with a calm expression and flipped straight to the last page.

There, in black and white, it was spelled out clearly: Probability of biological relationship—99.99%.

Citrine stared at the result, pausing only for a split second before closing the report.

In her last life, she had never learned anything about her origins—apart from the accidental discovery that her birth father was Raymond, she’d known nothing of her mother.

Now, finding out she actually had a mother didn’t bring her any joy. Of course, she had no intention of acknowledging the woman.

The time when she’d longed for a mother was long gone. Citrine was strong now; she didn’t need anyone anymore.

With a flick of her thumb, she deleted the report from her phone and put the entire matter out of her mind.
