"Hmph." Rodney's eagle eyes were round and furious, "You've obviously known Joyce since she was a child, how could you not see
that Joyce looks a lot like Mia?!"
Charlotte did not give up and still retorted stiffly, "Grandpa, | am not very sensitive to appearance by nature. Usually, | often can't
recognize people. What's more this old photo is quite blurred, and | didn't look carefully just now. Now you say so, indeed, the
person does look a little like Joyce, but in general, they givedifferent feelings, Grandpa."
"Lies. You clearly had a shocked look on your face when | first woke up." Rodney wasn't that easy to be fooled, "Do you know
something? The other girl who was at the orphanage with you for the paternity test, who was she?"
Charlotte heard it, her heart turned completely cold, Rodney had suspected the paternity test result. The other girl? Wasn't it just
Joyce? Now she had completely no idea what to say next.

"I, 1, 1..." she stammered, not really knowing how to answer.
"What, mute? You don’t know who it was?" Rodney sneered. charlotte's expression already gave him the answer, she must know
something. Otherwise she didn't need to panic or cover up.
Now he was even more certain that something was wrong with the original paternity and that Charlotte knew about it.
"Are you really a child of the Heath family?"
Rodney was straightforward. He failed to hold back at this time, and finally asked her the question. He knew that once he had
asked, there was no way to take it back. Once his suspicions were wrong, his abrupt approach could be very hurtful and could
cause great emotional damage to Charlotte and even Cecelia.
He should have to wait patiently for the results of the new paternity test and cback with real evidence to question Charlotte.
It's just that just now he couldn't stand Charlotte's obsequious, weepy, exasperated mouth.
Charlotte was dying of despair and cried out, "Grandpa, how can you say that? | am your own granddaughter! | am, and it's the
result of a paternity test. How can you suspect that | am not the child of the Heath family just because of a blurry old photo? There
are so many people who look alike under the sky. You know, my mother has worked hard for over 20 years to find me, how sad
would she be if you think so?"
She cried with true emotions and tears, and if there were other people present, they would also be moved by her acting.
Even Rodney's anger subsided a few notches.

Yes, just now he was impulsive. Even if he felt suspicious, he should go first to seek confirmation, rather than say it out recklessly.
And even if they really got it wrong, Charlotte may not know it either.
They had after all spent a few months together happily, and he did not want to hurt her just like that.
He took a deep breath and sighed, "It's just that, Charlotte, I'll go out first. Just pretend you didn't hear what | just said."
When he finished, he picked up his cane from the corner and leaned on it, ready to walk out.
Charlotte froze and raised her hand to dry her tears, why did Rodney suddenly stop talking?
And, as it was almost evening, where was he going to go now?
She felt very afraid inside her heart, mostly of the unknown. She had no idea what Rodney was going to do, and she hurriedly went
forward to stop him intimately, "Grandpa, it's already tfor dinner, where are you going? Mom has already prepared dinner and
put it in the kitchen, don’t you want to go down and eat? Or shall | bring it up for you?"
