Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 196

So they were focusing on her.

"Fine. I'll go with you for a DNA test. But if the results prove I'm not her, you will not be leaving here unscathed."

"We can cooperate with you, but we will not tolerate any insulting behavior or allow you to run roughshod over us here."

Catherine led Isabel away without another word.

Mrs. Ashford was extremely anxious.

"It's alright," Julian reassured her. "Please wait here at home. I will bring her back, completely unharmed."

Miles wanted to follow, but Julian stopped him. "You stay here with your aunt. When your uncle gets back, let him know. And put more effort into sorting out the residency issue."

In the Fiorhaven Principality, there was still some hope.

He had also called in favors in Aurelia City.

But the fact that Isabel's legal records were tied to Adrian's was a huge complication.

It was then he had discovered that their marriage had never been legally dissolved.

His original plan was to hold the wedding and then use Isabel's new identity to register their marriage.

It didn't matter what her name was; she was still the same person.

But now, even getting her a new identity was proving to be a problem.

...

The car came to a stop, and Isabel looked out the window.

This wasn't a hospital.

Catherine led her inside, and she realized it was a laboratory.

"Why not a hospital?"

"To prevent any tampering. This facility can do the test, and it's highly confidential."

Julian wasn't allowed inside.

He leaned against his car, smoking, and saw Adrian, who also hadn't been permitted entry.

"Care for one, Mr. Blackwell?"

Adrian ignored him.

Julian wasn't bothered. "Have you ever considered, Mr. Blackwell, that if Isabel were really dead, seeing you mistreat her like this from the great beyond, she might just come back to haunt you?"

And yet, the DNA comparison had been conclusive.

It confirmed that the charred corpse was indeed Isabel's.

When she first received Adrian's call, she thought her brother had lost his mind.

But now, seeing this identical face in person, she felt a seed of doubt.

She was also intensely curious about how Isabel could have pulled it off.

Having no body to question had allowed the case to be closed.

But the families of the deceased were still demanding answers.

Isabel's death hadn't truly resolved the issue.

If she were alive, she could return and provide an explanation, and the matter of the deaths caused by Y-2 could finally be put to rest.

Isabel knew Catherine was studying her.

She didn't open her eyes.

Not until someone approached them and announced, "The test results are in."
