169 Theory- why he hates his mother

Like Maverick instructed, the DNA test was done without Jeslyn knowing. Matt, Celeste, and Fin were confused as they took turns studying the result. Nothing made sense because they were there and saw how everything unfolded in Maverick’s life. There was no leeway that could make anyone suspect anything.

Six years ago when the hospital called Maverick to come carry his baby, Matt was the one who did the DNA test for the father and son and the result was 99.99%.

To be sure that the child was born by Vera like the hospital claimed, Maverick asked for Vera’s blood that was in the blood bank to be tested and the result was 99.8%.

The doubt or whatnot instantly flew out of everyone’s mind but what was this situation?

“I don’t understand what’s going on. Matt, make it make sense!” Celestine voiced her confusion.

“Unless Vera’s blood was never hers,” Matt responded.

“Test ‘Vera’s blood‘ you have in the blood bank and Jeslyn’s blood to see how well it matches.” Inspector Fin suggested.

Already on it. The result will be here soon.” Matt had ordered the test after he saw the result. It was weird and he refused to believe he made a mistake six years ago.

A while later, a knock sounded on the office door and Rex went to get the door. A doctor walked in and bowed before handing the result to Matt and left.

Matt opened the neatly folded paper and suddenly chuckled.

“What’s up?” Fin snatched the paper from him. After reading, he slapped the paper on the table in a fit of rage. “How dare they?!”

“It’s the same blood?” Celestine took the paper and read. Indeed, the blood is the same. No difference. “How is this possible?” She frowned.

“Brother is on it, the truth should be out soon.” Rex intervened.

“What about the hospital where Valen was born? Have you gone to ask questions there?” Matt asked

Rex.

“Bro, it’s confusing. We got a call years ago that Vera gave birth in Country G, then for some reason, the child was sent to a bigger hospital in Country A for life support. Then, Vera disappeared after that and we couldn’t find her…” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“That was indeed weird. How could Mav not be able to find someone in Country G or A, unless the person was being shielded by the Dark Age organization or the Half–heart organization.” Fin frowned.

“Mav has no business with the half–heart organization. It might make sense to say the Dark Age organization is the mastermind, but I beg to differ. This scheme is way too complicated and extended for those people to waste their time on. Only a petty person who doesn’t care about how much time they would waste would do such a meticulous thing. It also cannot be disputed that they might have an insider helping them, which enabled them to get through without detection.” Doctor Matt analyzed.

“Talk of a petty person that has no care for time and loves to watch people live their lives under his control? Who else would that be?” Inspector Fin asked with meaning.

“Damien!” Both Rex and Celestine called out with widened eyes.

Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that Damien would have Maverick in such a dead hook. That guy, damn!

“I think it’s adding up, really! The girl we got for Mav on that day was an escort. How did she turn to Jeslyn and Vera?” Doctor Matt frowned.

“Analyzing this will be a little difficult. The question is, what does Damien stand to gain?” Fin questioned even though he already has a hint.

“What else? To have my brother in his grasp. Still wondering why he instigated the Xu family to poison Valen?” Rex raised a brow.

“To give Maverick a huge blow when he realizes that no matter what he does to find an antidote, he won’t be able to save Valen. He wanted May to watch helplessly as his beloved son slowly wither away without the power to save him.” Doctor Matt explained.

“How did he know that Mav can’t save his son?” Celestine was doubtful.

“ATOM has no cure, but Damien knows that Mav won’t sit back without doing something. Also, he knows that one of the deadly things ATOM does is destroy a child’s bone marrow. Damien might have known that Mav’s bone marrow doesn’t match with Valen’s.” Matt explained further.

“Damien can’t know the state of May’s bone marrow..”

“Reason I said an insider’s help was sought.”

They all stayed quiet for a while before Rex broke the silence. “Carolina!”

“Hey, you can’t even pronounce your mother’s name right. I thought she was Caroline?” Celestine smiled meaningfully.

“Who cares? Caroline, Carolina? They are both evil and I’m surely going to kill that woman if this theory turns out to be true!” Rex was honestly raging. 1

If others treated his brother this way, he wouldn’t be this mad. Besides, all these years, they’d experienced ups and downs alone and they overcame it without the help of family members or the so– called mother they have.

They’ve been fine with what life threw at them, so why would that witch keep getting involved with their lives in a bad way? Why can’t their mother show them love just like every other mother in the world does?

One would wonder why Rex hates his mother this much.

Rex experienced some life–threatening situations in his life while growing up. Some of them were caused by his dear mother and the others were by enemies.

When they needed their dear mother the most, she abandoned them and went after an enemy and helped him get rid of their backbone- their father. 1

May took over their father’s failing business at the age of ten and single–handedly brought it back up and built an empire for himself, shielding his only brother under his wings. Even though May had no strong backing, he used his high IQ to defend himself and his brother against enemies, yet their mother was busy showcasing her power around Country M and left her kids to suffer and die.

After they finally survived the den of hungry lions, she suddenly popped out of nowhere to claim kinship. Seeing that her children refused to recognize her, she brought in Piper, thinking she could. use her to pressure them but it failed.
