Accidentally Crossing the Tycoon
Chapter 169
Clara’s POV:
“Clara.” Audrey’s voice was calm.
“I was wondering if you could tell me about the DNA test results p>
The world around me seemed to freeze.
My mouth went dry as I gripped the phone tighter, shooting a
panicked look at Finley.
How did she know? Had she somehow seen through our charade at
the restaurant yesterday?
“DNA test?” I echoed weakly, buying time as my mind raced through
possible explanations. “What do you mean p>
“The test you were planning to run with the hair sample you took
from me yesterday p>
Her tone remained matter–of–fact, without a hint of anger.
“I’m assuming you’ve gotten the results by now p>

I nearly dropped my phone.
Finley mouthed What’s wrong? but I could only shake my head in
disbelief.
“You… you knew?” I finally managed to whisper. “All this time, you‘
knew my intention p>
“Of course I knew, Clara.” Audrey sighed on the other end.
“You’re really terrible at lying. I just want to know the results p>
The calmness in her voice was more unsettling than any anger would
have been.
I leaned against the car, suddenly needing the support.
“There are no results, Audrey,” I admitted, feeling a strange mix of
shame and relief.
“The test… there was a problem with the sample p>
“What kind of problem? ”
I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal.

“But Daisy needs to learn that she can’t just do whatever she wants
and expect everyone to forgive her automatically p>
“I understand.” I placed my hand over his on the railing.
“But remember, Audrey is coming here voluntarily now. Daisy’s
interference ultimately failed p>
He nodded, some of the tension leaving his shoulders.
Then Finley pulled me gently into his arms, his expression softening.
“You and I finally found our way to each other. I just want the same
for Audrey p>
“She will,” I assured him, resting my hand against his chest.
“Audrey’s stronger than most people realize p>
I glanced at my watch and stepped back slightly.
“We should probably head back inside. Audrey might be arriving
soon p>
