Rex remained silent, handing her an envelope. "You can see for yourself!"

Watching Rex's calm expression as he held out the envelope, Scarlett's smile of disbelief gradually turned into a worried expression filled with anticipation.

"B-Brother, are you serious? You're not playing a prank on me, right?"

Rex's gaze held steadfast as he gently placed the envelope on the coffee table between them.

"Since when have I ever deceived you?" Rex responded, his voice calm.

Scarlett's heart began to race, the rhythm faster than usual.

'So he's serious...'

Scarlett's hand moved slowly toward the envelope on the table, trying to maintain a calm expression. With deliberate calm, he began to open the envelope.

"DNA test results?" Scarlett's voice slightly wavered as she continued reading and discovered the conclusive findings within. Perplexed by the DNA results she held, she gradually raised her gaze to meet Rex's eyes, her own filled with a mixture of confusion and intrigue.

"Brother, you claimed to have found my father, yet why am I being presented with these DNA test results instead?" Her bewilderment grew as she pondered the paper in her hands. She couldn't recall ever undergoing a DNA test with anyone. "Whose DNA results are these?" she asked, seeking clarification.

Rex's response was concise yet enigmatic. "You and your father's."

Scarlett was utterly speechless, the shock of the revelation leaving her at a loss for words.

Rex possessed her DNA sample, a fact she was well aware of, but the source of her father's sample remained a mystery. How had Rex managed to find her father without her knowledge, without even the faintest hint about his identity?

This seemed utterly implausible. It defied all logic.

pandasnovel.com After a few moments of silence, Scarlett finally found her voice as she sought to gather her thoughts. Her tone was filled with curiosity and a touch of fear. "Who is this man, brother?"

"I believe you've heard the name before," Rex remarked, crossing his legs and settling into a more relaxed position as he observed Scarlett's expression.

"His name is Roland Gilwynn, the former king of this country..." Instantly Rex stopped his sentence seeing Scarlett coughing until her face turned red. "Sis, are you alright!?"

She raised her hand, trying to answer Rex if she was okay.

*Cough... Cough... Cough...*

Her surprise was palpable upon hearing the man's name. Countless questions swirled in her mind, shrouding the truth and leaving her momentarily blank.

How could she possibly be connected to Country M, especially their royal family? 

How could she become Roland Gilwynn's daughter!?

If what Rex said was true, she was Roland Gilwynn's daughter, it meant she was the younger sister of Simon Gilwynn, the current king. 

How funny!? She had already confirmed she would attend Simon's upcoming birthday party even before learning about her potential royal lineage.

She shook her head, trying to dispel the thought of being the king's younger sister. Gosh!

"Brother, are you saying the DNA test matches me with Roland Gilwynn?" She asked.  I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

"Yes," Rex affirmed.

"How did you come to know about this and obtain his DNA sample? As far as I know, Roland Gilwynn has never made a public appearance, and obviously, his security is very tight!" Scarlett asked. 

Scarlett was aware that The Fox had considerable resources in the country. Still, she had never imagined they would have such easy access to the royal family, let alone obtain a DNA sample from Roland Gilwynn himself.

Her mind felt muddled, making it challenging to think clearly amidst the whirlwind of this unexpected news. 

"Actually, I didn't intend to test your DNA with Roland Gilwynn's," Rex confessed with a smile. "You see, sister... just like you, I also had suspicions about someone connected to you." He continued. 

"You mean Theodor?" Scarlett began to piece together the puzzle in her mind.

"Yes. I asked him to conduct a DNA test between you two. However, without informing me, Theodor decided to compare your DNA with Roland Gilwynn's instead..." Rex started to reveal his recent cooperation with Theodore.

Scarlett was left speechless. 

It now made sense why Theodore and Rex had grown closer lately. They had been secretly conducting a DNA test behind her back, and the results they discovered had left her utterly shocked. 

Scarlett found herself unable to utter a single word. The knowledge that her mother had been involved with Roland Gilwynn while he was still married left her feeling dizzy.

She was born out of wedlock!

'Mom, this is the reason you disappeared from everyone? To keep me hidden from Roland Gilwynn?' Scarlett silently talks with her mother in her heart.

She is sure that Roland is unaware of her existence. If he knew, he would not remain silent. He would either seek to acknowledge her as his daughter or take measures to eliminate any shame to the royal family — kill her.

In her mind, her presence in this world was certainly not something a king like Roland Gilwynn could be proud of, right?

Scarlett's hands clenched at the thought of her identity being exposed.

"Brother, I need to talk to Theodor!" Scarlett suddenly panicked. She didn't want her existence to be known by the royal family.

But she also longed to meet Roland Gilwynn. Numerous questions flooded her mind, and she yearned to ask him how her mother had become involved with him, such a powerful figure.

"Alright, I will call him..." Rex stood up and left the room.

As Scarlett watched Rex disappear behind the door, she felt a heavy weight in her chest as she contemplated her mother's past. She gently rubbed her chest, attempting to take a deep breath.

However, just as Scarlett was starting to regain her composure, her blood ran cold as she received a text message from an unknown number.

[Anonymous:] Whatever you are doing now, stop it. Or someone you love will die because of what you did.

She stared at the brief message on her cell phone screen for a moment, trying to decipher its meaning.

"Did this person send it to the wrong number?" she muttered slowly.

Before she could investigate the number and trace its sender, the door swung open again.

Scarlett saw Rex enter the room, followed by Xander and Theodor.
