Chapter 1022
Luna was unfazed by Timothy's words. "Why are you still keeping it a secret? What's the point of you continuing to hide it? Asher is undeniably a descendant of your Barrett family. I've not lied or been mistaker about this."
Upon hearing Luna's words, Sharon promptly sat on the chair. "I didn't give birth to him. Could it be..."
An illegitimate child? It was impossible. Her late husband had passed away several years ago. How could he possibly have fathered an illegitimate child?
Luna said coldly, "That's right. Asher's father is Timothy's half-brother."
Timothy had made it clear from the beginning that she could not disclose this fact, or else she would be expelled from the Barrett family. However, she was no longer part of the Barrett family. Hence, she was no longer bound by any agreement with Timothy.
"You're spouting absolute nonsense! My husband doesn't have any illegitimate children. How dare you claim he has such a grown child? Stop being so shameless!" Sharon still couldn't believe it.
"I'm speaking the truth. Just ask Timothy. When | approached the Barrett family, | presented evidence and conducted a paternity test.”
“But my husband has been dead for so many years, and you suddenly appear to conduct a paternity test. Who would believe such nonsense?"
"As long as genetic information is stored, genetic identification can be performed at any time," Luna said. Sharon couldn't believe it. "When did my husband store genetic information?"
Luna beamed with pride. "He did it for the sake of Asher's father, so that he can prove his identity through these series of arrangements."
Sharon's face turned ashen. She looked up at Timothy and asked, "Tim, is everything she said true?" Timothy held his silence for a moment before finally responding, "Yes."
Sharon's scream pierced the air. "Timothy, how could you keep such a huge secret from me? How dare you bring back this bitch's child into the Barrett family? Isn't he just an illegitimate child born outside? Why should we even care? They should just die outside and have no place in the Barrett family. Do you have no regard for me as your mother? Why are you using this to humiliate me?"
Sharon was consumed by such immense anger that she felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort throughout her entire being. She had suspected the true identity
of Asher, but she never anticipated
that Asher was actually the child of her husband's illegitimate child. Throughout the years, she had
embraced Asher as her
grandson. However, she never
expected that he was a little bastard.
Mia observed Sharon, who was in hysterics, and suddenly felt a pang of pity for her. Timothy had not handled the situation appropriately.
Mia's curiosity grew as she wondered why Timothy would bring the legitimate child back to the Barret family. In her view, this was completely out of character for Timothy. It made her question the true motives behind his actions.
Timothy replied, "This was Dad's last wish."
"So, your father was aware of this and had been keeping it from us? When did you find out about it?" "| was unaware of this until Luna's sudden appearance five years ago."
"Why didn't you tell me? You still kept it from me."
Luna smiled and said, "That's because you always desired a grandson. It just happens that Asher shares the blood of the Barrett family. Timothy has no intention of marrying or having children, and he plans to groom Asher as his heir. There's no need for him to disclose the truth to you."
"Shut up!"
