Gina's smile wavered slightly as she lowered her gaze, feeling a small thrill of warmth at his concern. "Thank you for looking out for me. I really am grateful," she murmured.
But Theodore's gaze remained hard, his thoughts calculating. He knew the time had come to reveal what he had discovered, despite the potential fallout. Before Claudia and Keith could tighten their grip on him, he had to take action. With a steely resolve, he opened a drawer, withdrew a slim file, and slid it across the desk.
"Sit down and look at this carefully," he instructed solemnly.
Gina's smile faded, her expression growing tense as she took the seat across from him. Her hands moved slowly, almost nervously, as she opened the file. Her face hardened the moment her eyes fell on the words—Paternity Test Report. Her grip on the file tightened as she skimmed over the lines, the shocking truth sinking in... the test confirmed that Claudia was indeed her biological mother.
