Hannah had dealt with plenty of unreasonable people and baseless accusations. Cherry’s attacks didn’t faze her in the slightest. “So, what you’re saying,” she asked with cool composure, “is that the DNA test Peter arranged was wrong? You’re questioning him?”
“That’s not what I meant! How could I ever doubt Uncle Peter?”
Cherry backpedaled immediately. Peter was the head of the Temple family now; even her own parents deferred to him. She wasn’t suicidal enough to challenge his authority.
“I mean, you must have planned this. You’re obviously after the Temple family’s fortune, so you deliberately sought out my Uncle Peter and tricked him into believing you were Aunt Cheryl’s daughter.”
“Your background is a mystery, you’re in a messy affair with Lionel, and you’re fighting with Ms. Woods over him. You probably lost that battle, so you set your sights on my Uncle Peter and…”
Smack!
Before Cherry could finish, Peter slammed his hand on the table.
“Cherry, who put you up to this?” he asked, his eyes narrowed. He knew his niece was spoiled, but he didn’t think she was stupid enough to target someone so deliberately on her own. She was usually too scared to meddle in his affairs, which made her sudden outburst all the more suspicious.
“No one! I’m just suspicious! So many people have tried to impersonate Aunt Cheryl’s daughter over the years. I’m just afraid Uncle Peter was deceived.”
Before Peter could respond, Hannah spoke.
“You say I’m fighting Sandra for a man, that I’m in an ‘affair’ with Lionel, and that I’m here for your money?” She let out a derisive laugh and pulled up a photo on her phone.
