Rebirth: Revenge of the abandoned heirress-Chapter 78: Secret of DNA

Right at nine p.m., she heard a knock. Jazmine Harrison gave herself a look in the mirror and smiled satisfactorily. She looked gorgeous. After picking up her pouch bag, she opened the door with a confident smile, but her smile dropped and changed to a confused frown when she saw a totally unexpected man standing at her door.

"Lucian Smith? What in the seven Hells are you doing here?"

"There's something very important I must tell you!" He was gasping for air. It seemed like he had run all the way here. And indeed, it was true. After he got the news, he went straight to the airport and took the latest flight to Hong Kong. He didn't even wait for a second to rest and ran straight to where his President was residing.

"Alright. Come in first." Considering the gravity of the situation, Jazmine let him in and guided him to the couches. She even brought him a glass of water. "Now tell me exactly what happened?"

Lucian looked reluctant. "President, what I'm going to tell you is not going to be easy. I'm afraid you might be shocked greatly. Please prepare yourself well before I tell you this."

"You are now scaring me. Is the company alright?"

"It is alright. It's about the DNA reports."

Suddenly, Jazmine felt cold all over her body. Taking in a deep breath, she steadied her heart. The way Lucian had rushed all the way here—it must be bad news.

"Are you ready to listen?" Lucian asked with consideration.

"Yes, go on." Jazmine said in a calm voice, but inside, her heart was thumping loudly.

"Alright. It was not easy for me to get the DNA sample of your mother. I mean, at the time of her death, her body was totally burned. Besides, all the DNA reports from earlier were purposely eradicated by your grandfather. It seemed like he wanted to hide something. After much effort and using a lot of connections, I managed to get a DNA report from the time of her death. After that, I gave the reports to match your DNA. And President..." Lucian looked reluctant.

"Please say it..."

"The reports came out negative. I sent the samples of the DNA three times to confirm. But still negative."

Suddenly, Jazmine felt weak in her knees. She placed her hand on the table to support her body and managed to sit. With a self-deprecating smile, she said, "So they were right, weren't they?" In her last life, Rosaline and her enemies had used the fact that she was not a Harrison to their own advantage. She had been too scared to run a DNA test back then. She was scared that it might turn negative, so she chose to live in oblivion.

"President, this is not all. There is more. You said you were ready. Please control yourself. There's a lot more I have to tell you." Lucian seemed to have expected the response from his President. He was genuinely concerned for her, but he had to tell her everything.

"What more is there to tell? I'm not a Harrison. Listen, Lucian, we'll have to keep that a secret from everyone. If the truth leaks out, it'll adversely affect our company."

"No... President, listen to me. I still felt something was wrong, so I used my means to get your father's DNA. It was relatively easy to find his DNA. And you know what? Even his DNA didn't match yours!"

"Isn't it expected? I am not my mother's daughter. She must have adopted me. Or my mother's daughter, the rightful Harrison, might be somewhere in the world, and I might have replaced her by accident. But I can't say I'm not happy to find out that Theodore Harrison isn't my father. Somehow, I knew it. I couldn't have a father like him. Though I can't say the same for my mother."

"President, listen to me. After both your parents' DNA reports didn't match, I felt increasingly pressured. I tried all means to get your grandfather's DNA. I did everything possible and put in much more effort than before. I couldn't find the enlisted DNA reports on any source. So I employed some men to get me a sample of his hair from his home. That was incredibly difficult, but I succeeded. And when I sent the sample to the laboratory, it matched! President, it matched! I couldn't believe it! I tried three different laboratories and repeated the tests several times. But still, it was positive. President, you are a Harrison!"

When Jazmine heard this, she fell into silence. Then she raised her hand and hit Lucian.

"You bastard! Couldn't you start the story by telling me I was actually a Harrison! Did you have to make such long explanations? Did you have to create such suspense?" Jazmine's face was red with anger. If looks could kill, Lucian would have already been dead ten times by now.

"Ow! But President, then the story would have lost all the flavor if I started with that line! Ow! Don't hit me! I worked so hard to get all those samples. If I simply told you that you are a Harrison, how was I supposed to show how hard I worked? Ow!"

"You think it's a joke? You took my breath away!" Jazmine chased him around the room.

Lucian felt like he really pissed off his President. He hadn't seen her like that before. He hadn't even seen anyone being hit by her. Afraid of her scary glares, he ran out of the room.

Jazmine didn't have the energy to chase him.

She fell onto the couches and laughed. But at the same time, she felt like crying. "I don't even know what to think anymore. I'm my grandfather's granddaughter, but I'm not my mother's or father's daughter. What am I supposed to make of that? Was my mother adopted? But if she was adopted, how did my DNA match my grandfather's DNA? What is the meaning of this?" Jazmine sighed when she felt like her brain was going to explode.

Thankfully, to save her from going insane, Sebastian Crowne arrived just five minutes later.
