Attached to the stolen inheritance papers was an official DNA lab report from thirty years ago, sealed with a confidential medical stamp.
The report stated clearly: Biological Relationship Excluded.
Harold Vance was not Evelyn’s biological father.
Evelyn's real father was a wealthy real estate developer named Arthur Pendelton, who had tragically passed away in an accident when Evelyn was two years old. Arthur had left his entire fifty-million-dollar commercial portfolio to his only daughter, Evelyn, placing it under the temporary guardianship of Margaret and her new husband, Harold.
