On hearing that, Marina's frown deepened as she prodded, “Then hasten.
Mrs. Bryant requires it.”
She stressed the identity of Mrs. Bryant deliberately to signal to these doctors that despite she and Laura Losing
their power, they still belonged to the Bryant family. She was oblivious to the fact that her words bore a deeper
implication in their minds.
Reech moved closer to her. He pitched his voice lower, ingratiating himself, “Miss Bryant, I'll ensure someone
attends to it promptly! You see, I'm extending a favor today. Could you possibly vouch forat the Bryant

Reech'’s elation soared, and he continued to heap praises on Marina, making her feel as if she were on top of the
world.
Concurrently, the other doctors in the laboratory displayed no shock
They continued their tasks, unperturbed by the unfolding events. It was evident that this wasn’t Reech'’s first
stint at such behavior.
Utilizing the title of Mrs. Bryant, Marina wielded her clout, and the hospital accorded her respect, giving her case
precedence and extending special treatment. Within a few hours, the paternity test results were at hand.
Reech, eager to flaunt his authority in Marina's presence, feigned solemnity as he questioned his subordinate,
“Have the results been finalized? What are the findings?”
The intern shifted his gaze between Marina and Reech, confusion evident in his expression. Regardless, he shook
his head and responded,
“Director, these two individuals do not share a blood relationship.”
His demeanor suggested that the outcwas anticipated. Marina's face was a picture of elation. She yanked
the test report from the intern’s grasp without even perusing it, satisfied with the outcome, and promptly exited
the hospital.
Once Marina had departed, the intern was left in utter bewilderment. He mumbled, puzzled, “Director, Mrs.

“Your comprehension is lacking! When it comes to matters of the influential, it’s best to keep your nose out!”
Despite sharing similar doubts, Reech refrained from voicing them. To him, the matters of the rich and powerful
held little significance compared to the effortless wealth and prestige he enjoyed.
Recalling Marina's surreptitious visit today, Reech opted for extra caution. He summoned the intern closer and
murmured, “Avoid circulating rumors about today’s events, and, by the way, the cost of this test will be deducted
from your salary.”
The intern’s eyes bulged, his face flaming in indignation.
Nevertheless, he bit his tongue, silently seething as he watched Reech saunter away nonchalantly, hands folded
behind his back.
Elsewhere, Marina, jubilant, clutched the test report and prepared to return to the Bryant villa.
