DNA Test

Evelyn Ross never planned to get rich from stocks.

Borrowing money from Sophia Ashcroft was just an excuse.

But she never made a bad investment.

After getting the money, she really did buy stocks.

She wasn't lying about having insider information.

As Dr. Nan, her clinical drugs had saved many important people.

Those who couldn't wait for new drugs to hit the market often sought private deals with her.

Evelyn had built a vast network of connections because of this.

Recently, a powerful figure, after using her medication, shared a tip.

She didn't use it herself, but invested it for Sophia.

Now, on her phone screen, that stock was surging.

It was about to hit the limit up.

Everyone leaned in for a closer look, gasping in shock.

The principal of sixteen million had doubled in an instant.

Making money this fast was like printing it.

Sophia was too stunned to speak.

"This... this is too fast! Evelyn, how much did you invest? Sell it quickly. Stocks are risky. Quit while you're ahead."

Sophia was always clear-headed and never greedy.

Evelyn didn't explain she hadn't invested herself. She just nodded.

"After I cash out tomorrow, I'll transfer the money back to your account."

Sophia immediately shook her head.

"We agreed it was your dowry. Isabella had a point. You should buy your own house and settle down with your husband."

The comment was pointed.

Evelyn glanced at Isabella Ashcroft and Julian Evans.

She didn't refuse.

"Alright."

Sophia finally smiled.

Isabella seized the moment to interject.

"Evelyn, Mom means well. Being a mistress isn't honorable. Look at your mother... She lived her whole life in the shadows. Was she ever happy? If you have a child in the future, they'll be like you. An awkward identity, living in hardship. If they do well, people will say it was schemed. If they do poorly, people will say they deserved it..."

Evelyn's jaw tightened. She put down her chopsticks, about to speak.

"Enough!"

Sophia sharply cut her off, staring at Isabella in disbelief.

"How can you say such things?!"

Isabella sneered.

She was married into the Vance family now. She didn't need to care about Sophia's feelings anymore. She decided to lay it all out.

"Am I wrong? I'm doing this for her own good! Mom, do you think being a love child is something to be proud of? Do you really have no issue with Linda Lowell at all?"

Sophia was speechless.

Isabella pressed her advantage.

"I've never seen any lawful wife be so devoted to a love child! Dad said he wouldn't acknowledge her, but you treat her like a treasure. Mom, am I worthless compared to her in your eyes?"

She lowered her head, wiping tears, then glared at Evelyn.

"Are you happy now that I'm being scolded?"

Evelyn thought Isabella was utterly unreasonable.

Julian suddenly stood up, glaring at Evelyn.
