Kane was etched with a serious look, "If Skyler starts getting suspicious, then Dad might be onto us
too."
William clapped a hand over his cherub cheeks, "Uncle Leopold wouldn't rip off my mask, right? Maybe
I should lay low at Grandma and Grandpa's for a few days."
If only Arnold was here, everything would be fine. With him around, William wouldn't be afraid of
anything. Arnold would always protect him.
With that thought, William quickly whipped out his smartwatch to shoot a distress text to Arnold.
Kane stroked his chin thoughtfully, "You can run but you can't hide forever, buddy. Even if you hide out
at your grandparents', Dad could show up there too."
William drooped his head in dejection.
"Maybe I should just jet off to Dad's place abroad and come back after the winter break."
Kane clapped him on the shoulder, "Christmas is just around the corner, and Uncle Arnold will be back
too. He can't exactly whisk you away to spend the holidays internationally."
William spiked his anxiety. "I might as well get plastic surgery at this point, so I don't have to wear a
mask anymore."
Kane replied, "Dad could still ask for a DNA test, and that's the real deal breaker."
William clutched his head in horror. Could Uncle Leopold swipe his hair for a DNA test while he slept?
Oh good Lord.
"Kane, I'm seriously paranoid that Uncle Leopold's going to pilfer my hair in my sleep these next few
days." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Kane figured it was a real possibility. If Leopold was suspicious, a DNA test would be inevitable.
"I've got a plan."
"What's the plan?" William asked eagerly.
Kane whispered his scheme, and William nodded in agreement, "Alright, let's do it."
The next morning, the two sneaked into Nina's room.
Nina was blessed with luscious locks that were stunningly beautiful.
"Nina," William said, "Didn’t you mention wanting to try a bob cut? What if we call over the stylist to give
you a new look?"
Nina hesitated for a moment but then nodded, "Sure, why not?"
That afternoon, William headed to Blossom Villa to lay low for a couple of days until his custom wig,
made from Nina's hair, was ready. If Leopold tried to snatch a hair sample, he'd end up with Nina's
instead. Any DNA test would point to an aunt-nephew relationship, not a father-son one.
Two days later, the wig was perfected. William tried it on, and the faux scalp was so realistic it was
impossible to tell it wasn't his hair.
Back at Stirling Mansion, Leopold eyed him with a scrutinizing gaze. "Why did you suddenly take off to
Blossom Villa?" he asked.
"Avery came back and his new movie just wrapped up," William said nonchalantly.
Leopold glanced at his hair, "Got a new haircut?"
"Yup, you like it?" William grinned wide, showing off his pearly whites.
"Cool," Leopold reached out to ruffle his hair, but William dodged and ran to Aurelia.
Leopold dropped his hand, giving William a sidelong glance.
The kid was too clever by half just like Aurelia.
Aurelia hugged her son, "Go on upstairs and play with your siblings."
"Okay." William nodded and scampered up the stairs.
Kevin arrived, handing over the report. It confirmed a familial relation, but not a paternal one.
Leopold trembled his fingers slightly, and the report fluttered to the floor.
