Chapter 142 You Made That Up
“Danna also did a DNA test before. It has been proven that she’s the biological mother of Gavin.”
Benjamin looked at her with a darkened gaze.
“That’s impossible!” Arissa blurted.
I am Gavin’s biological mother. Danna must have stolen my DNA for her test when I was held captive at that place five years ago. It would be a piece of cake for Danna to achieve such an act.
“Why are you so sure that Gavin is your son?” asked Benjamin flatly with an unfathomable expression. He didn’t seem to believe her at all.
Clenching her teeth, Arissa answered, “I gave birth to him, so naturally, he is my son.”
Figuring that she had nothing to lose, she bellowed, “It was Danna that snatched him away from me!”
Upon hearing that, Benjamin narrowed his eyes and signaled for Arissa to continue.
“Six years ago, not long after I found out I was pregnant, I was taken away and imprisoned in an abandoned building in the suburbs until the end of my pregnancy…”
When Arissa recalled the feelings of helplessness and fear during that time, her eyes instantly became teary as she choked in tears.
“Danna took away my child and even abandoned me in the desert so that I would become food for wild animals. Fortunately, we… I was rescued by someone. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here!”
Arissa hid the existence of the other children as she balled her hands into fists to suppress the incurred hatred.
Danna had already set me up from the moment I left the room, and she would stop at nothing just to become Benjamin’s wife.
Shock fleeted across Benjamin’s eyes and his expression turned grim upon hearing Arissa’s words.
If he heard about this in the past, he would never believe that Danna could do such things. However, after he saw her mistreat Gavin and came to realize that his son was not her child, he had no reason to doubt Arissa.
“Mr. Graham, you can go and investigate it yourself if you don’t believe me. The abandoned building where they held me captive can still be found.”
Arissa looked at Benjamin and thought that he didn’t believe her, so she told him the location of the building.
As Benjamin gazed intently at Arissa, his heart ached for her when he saw hatred and agony fill her face.
“If you’re telling the truth, why didn’t you come and look for Gavin throughout these years?”
Benjamin felt sad for Gavin. She could have come back earlier. Instead, she only reappeared after five years. Gavin had to grow up without motherly love in all those years.
Arissa responded with a bitter smile.
“Mr. Graham, I would be walking into the lion’s den if I came back as a weak and helpless person. Danna wanted to kill me. She will act against me if she sees my return as a threat. Do you think I can survive if I have no one to rely on?”
Arissa held back the rage in her heart and hissed, “Although I didn’t come back, I never gave up on searching for my child. That was the biggest reason I returned from overseas to work here, but it never crossed my mind that you have my son!”
When Benjamin heard that Arissa had no one to rely on, his heart sank.
He then got closer to her side and asked, “You approached me because of Gavin?”
Arissa was stunned by his question. With a frown, she replied, “It was a coincidence. I didn’t know you are the father before I returned. I only took a guess after seeing you. That was why I agreed to visit your house in the first place. I was only sure of your identity after I saw Gavin!”
“Oh…” Benjamin responded with an unreadable expression.
Arissa raised her eyes to look at him. She was suddenly captivated by his dark eyes.
However, what Benjamin said next almost made her blood boil.
“Why does it sound like you made that up to approach me?
Arissa gritted her teeth and muttered, “You can authenticate our DNA. If I am not the biological mother of Gavin, you can deal with me however you want, and I will not resist!”
“Are you sure?”
A cunning look flashed through Benjamin’s eyes.
“Yes!”
Arissa answered without much thought. She didn’t know that he had already gotten the maternity test report.
Benjamin scoffed as he turned around and walked towards his desk. He took out the report from the drawer and threw it before Arissa.
“Arissa, take a good look at it!”
