The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 700 - 741: Tell Others You Changed Your Wife

Chapter 700: Chapter 741: Tell Others You Changed Your Wife

Not only was Adrian Desmond curious and looking at her, but Walter Klein also raised his head, eager to know. Sienna Johnson deliberately played coy and said, "The secret mustn’t be revealed!"

"Naughty!"

"If I say it, it won’t work."

Adrian Desmond said to Walter Klein, "Go and reply to them. Say that I will attend on that day."

"And me," Sienna Johnson added.

"What do you want to do there?" Adrian Desmond was reluctant to let Sienna Johnson go.

Sienna Johnson argued confidently, "Speaking of which, everyone who knows you knows that your wife is Melanie Carpenter, and they don’t know who I am. If the Sixth Master and I hadn’t gotten our marriage certificate in Sileria City, I would have thought the Sixth Master was planning to hide me away."

"You’re talking nonsense again."

"On your uncle’s birthday, many people who know him will attend, and most of them probably know you as well. It’s perfect timing—on your uncle’s birthday, the Sixth Master can introduce me and let everyone know that you’ve changed wives."

Adrian Desmond held his forehead. This woman is scheming against me, and I can only helplessly fall into her trap.

"Walter Klein, go tell them that on Mr. Carpenter’s birthday, the Sixth Master and I will attend together."

"Yes, Madam." Walter Klein noted. Sometimes, the Madam’s words are more effective than the Sixth Master’s.

"Oh, right, if they don’t let me attend, tell them that the Sixth Master won’t be able to go either."

Sienna Johnson worried she might be rejected, so she could only use Adrian Desmond to threaten them. I’m not sure if this threat will work.

"Yes, Madam." Walter Klein glanced at the woman’s cunning smile and quickly averted his eyes before leaving.

Only the two of them were left in the room. Adrian Desmond finally asked, "When are you planning to tell me how you know if my uncle is real or fake? You still haven’t told me. Don’t you need my help?"

Outside the door, Walter Klein paused, straining his ears. He heard Sienna Johnson say, "Actually, I really do need the Sixth Master’s help with this matter."

"Just tell me, and stop playing coy."

"Melanie Carpenter... are you sure she’s Mr. Carpenter’s daughter?"

"Of course!"

"The people you sent out before couldn’t find any definite information. Actually, if you want to know if Mr. Carpenter is real or fake, it’s very simple." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"How?"

"I remember a novel Leanne Andrews wrote that had a scene about paternity testing. If a paternity test can determine if a child is one’s own, why can’t it be used with the child to verify the father? If we can confirm that Melanie Carpenter is indeed Elliot Carpenter’s biological daughter, then if this suddenly appearing Mr. Carpenter’s genetic material doesn’t match Melanie’s, wouldn’t that prove this Elliot Carpenter is an impostor?"

"That is a good idea!"

Sienna Johnson replied, "Simple, direct, and brutally effective! On the day of the banquet, have someone get a hair with the follicle attached from each of them and send it for a paternity test. Then we’ll know if this Elliot Carpenter is real or an impostor."

"But I thought a paternity test would require blood."

"Using blood is certainly better, but it’s too difficult to carry out. First, it’s not easy to get blood from them. Second, I’m afraid of attracting their attention and alerting them. Tipping them off would be troublesome."

Adrian Desmond remained silent.

"Sixth Master, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to get a hair sample from each of them, right?"

"Mm, no problem."

Adrian Desmond’s ears suddenly twitched, and his sharp eyes looked towards the door. He strode over and suddenly opened the door, revealing Walter Klein eavesdropping at the entrance. Walter Klein looked panicked but quickly regained his composure.

"What are you doing here?"

Walter Klein scratched his nose, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Well, I was curious too about what method could be used to tell whether Mr. Carpenter was real or fake. Madam wouldn’t tell me, so... Heh heh... I won’t eavesdrop again."

Adrian Desmond examined Walter Klein up and down, making him feel uneasy.

"Madam, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again."

Sienna Johnson didn’t seem to mind, saying, "You must have heard just now. It’s actually not that great of a method."

"The door was too thick; I didn’t hear it clearly. Can Madam be more specific?"

"We can do a paternity test for Elliot Carpenter and Melanie Carpenter. If their genes match, then they are father and daughter. If their genes don’t match, then they are not. It’s that simple."

Walter Klein praised, "Indeed a great idea! Madam is wise and resourceful."

Sienna Johnson said calmly, "It sounds simple, but it’s a bit difficult to execute..."

Adrian Desmond interrupted them and said to Walter Klein, "Go on with your work."

"Yes, Madam!"

After Walter Klein left, Adrian Desmond closed the door. Sienna Johnson casually remarked, "When did Walter Klein become so curious?"

The invitations arrived. They were addressed not only to the Sixth Master and Sienna Johnson, but also to Curly, Paige Desmond, and Dylan. The entire Desmond family had been invited.

Sienna Johnson had attended countless banquets in her life, both large and small. But I’ve never cared as much as I do about this one.

"Adrian Desmond, I want to buy new jewelry. These pieces are just too ugly."

Sienna Johnson’s good jewelry was all in Sileria City; she hadn’t brought it with her. The jewelry she had on the island was bought many years ago when she was in Abyanabad.

"But you bought all of this."

"Don’t you know women are fickle and always prefer new things?"

Alright, I can’t argue with her, Adrian Desmond thought. "Tomorrow is Uncle’s birthday. You want to buy jewelry? Why didn’t you say so sooner? It’s too late now."

"Adrian Desmond, you’re stingy. You won’t even buy me jewelry. Just look at this – how am I supposed to wear these out?"

Sienna Johnson was being unreasonable again.

She wanted to make a stunning appearance and outshine everyone, especially Melanie Carpenter. Although Sienna Johnson was beautiful, as a pregnant woman with a prominent belly, many outfits were unwearable. The clothes she could wear didn’t have the desired effect, so she started taking it out on Adrian Desmond.

Is there anyone more wronged in this world than me? Adrian Desmond lamented internally.

After ranting for a while, Sienna Johnson sat silently at the vanity table. Adrian Desmond realized that this time, her bout of temper was more serious than usual. He had to put aside his work and go to console her.

"Okay, you’re right, these pieces aren’t very pretty. How about we go buy some right now?"

"It’s already dark outside."

"What does it matter if it’s dark? If the Department Store is closed, I have the power to make them open it just for you and have the staff return to assist you. Change your clothes, and we’ll go now."

Sienna Johnson only acted like this in front of Adrian Desmond. In front of others, she always gave the impression of being sensible and reasonable.

"Forget it, I don’t want to go."

"Alternatively, let’s go to Paige Desmond. My mother left her a lot of jewelry, and I think many of those pieces are quite nice. We could borrow some."

Sienna Johnson was caught between laughter and tears. "No way. If people found out, they’d think I, the sister-in-law, am coveting my younger sister-in-law’s things."
