Chapter 6 " Too bad , the goons you picked are just as pathetic as you . " " Enough , Joanna Calvin burst in , gasping for air . He spotted Rebecca crumpled on the floor , groaning , and made a beeline to help her . However , her bitter look froze him in his tracks He turned to face me , his voice laden with blame . " I already cleared up the whole kidnapping mess , didn't I ?! Rebecca just got carried away , wanting to give you a little scare ! " She's too sweet and naive to actually want you dead ! Look at you , perfectly fine ! Not a scratch on you , so why are you being so confrontational ? " " Ha ... " I snorted . Sometimes , when words failed , laughter was all that was left . I stared at him , at the guy who once made me risk everything without a second thought . What was I thinking in my past life to be so blind as to give him my all ? " Calvin , I've got to know : are you just playing the fool so well you've fooled yourself ? Or are you really that clueless ? Even now , you still think she's all sugar and spice ?! " " He's definitely clueless . " Elliott's voice cut in , smooth and unruffled . He glanced at Calvin with a smirk . " Otherwise , how could the Porter family's empire crumble to nothing just like that ? " Calvin glared at Elliott with a look that could kill . " Who are you to talk ?! " Elliott barely glanced at him . " Just a tip for the future : keep away from idiots . Their stupidity can rub off on you . " " Pfft ! " I could not hold it in and burst out laughing . As expected , when it came to a sharp tongue , Elliott was second to none . " You're asking for it ! " Calvin was completely enraged , clenching his fists as he prepared to charge . Elliott merely arched a brow , not giving him the slightest regard . " That's enough ! I want silence ! " Dad's voice thundered , his eyes darting between me and Rebecca . " The two of you , we're going for a paternity test , now . " I was about to walk away , but I could not miss the chance to see Nash's face when he got the news . His precious daughter , the one he cherished for over 20 years , might not be his after all . " Sure , Dad " I agreed . Rebecca's face twisted in protest . She shook her head frantically , her voice tinged with tears . " No , I won't go ! " Dad , I'm your daughter , aren't I ? " Calvin stood by her side , his voice a soothing whisper in her ear She hesitated , her heart pounding , as she followed him into the hospital . Once inside , the doctor wasted no time in collecting the samples However , as soon as the samples were whisked away to the Craptref +25 BONUS lab , Calvin's eyes darted around . He mumbled an excuse about needing the restroom and slipped out of the waiting room . It took him ages to come back . When he did , he bent close to Rebecca , murmuring something that made her eyes light up with hope . Everyone stayed put , the tension palpable as they waited in the hospital for the verdict . Before a full day had passed , a knock sounded on the waiting room door . The hospital dean himself came in , clutching a file bag like it was a treasure chest . He made a beeline for Elliott , his voice laced with deference , " Mr. Reynolds , we have the results . " Mr Reynolds ?! The name echoed in everyone's minds . That was the title reserved for the heir of the illustrious Reynolds family from Zephyr City . ' What's Joanna's angle with him ? ' they all wondered . Elliott barely acknowledged the dean , flicking his finger with an air of indifference . His bodyguard did not miss a beat , striding over to hand me the file bag .
