A trace of hesitation appeared on Barton's face when he heard what Zoe just said. He looked at her and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Jean and Mandy should be punished for what they've done. You should..." Zoe whispered her plan into Barton's ear.

Barton frowned upon hearing that. "Are you sure?"

"What's wrong with my plan? This is the best way to handle it."

Zoe sighed. "I know you can't bring yourself to be cruel to her, but you have to understand that Jean is not your daughter. Julia is your real daughter. Jean is the one preventing you from reuniting with Julia. We have already shown mercy to her. Do you understand?"

Barton hesitated for a long time before he finally nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Afterwards, Barton called Jean to ask her out. Zoe glanced at him and said

eter, but I did it for my father's sake. Besides, Peter has admitted his guilt already. I don't understand why you are doing this. What do you want? Do you want me and my father to sever our ties completely?"

"Don't confuse right from wrong here," Zoe responded. "I do hate you, but I won't say anything without substantial evidence.

Why don't you take a look at this first?"

Jean didn't dare to reach for the folder that Zoe gave her. Mandy was the one who had the courage to look at the report. When they saw the contents, their faces froze.

"That's fake!" Mandy said angrily. "Zoe Lin, what's your intention of faking this paternity test? What benefit did Julia promise you? Why are you working so hard for her?"

After a long silence, Barton finally spoke up. "Do you refuse to admit it?"
