Chapter 255
Lucy rolled her eyes, unsure of what to say. This con artist was really giving it his all.
She said to Theodore sarcastically, "How do you expect me to believe you? You're making it sound like we're in some kind of soap opera. These things don't happen in real life."
She shrugged, trying to lighten the mood. "What? Are you going to tell me that you're the prince and your long-lost sister is the princess?"
Theodore was speechless. He was indeed the prince of Charleston, but the person in front of him clearly did not believe a word he said. He decided to hide that fact for now, in case it would make him seem even more like a fraud.
In a somber tone, he explained, "I'm not sure if you're my long-lost sister, so I want to get your DNA to do a test. Why else would I be sitting here discussing this with you? I can show you the DNA test results after and then you'll know as well."
Lucy had no words, so she gathered her things to leave. Theodore noticed her intention and reached out to stop her.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Hold on, Miss. Everything I said is true. Please sit down and listen to me.”
Lucy looked at Theodore before glancing around at the attention they were attracting. She eventually decided to stay.
After finding out that Theodore did not harbor ill intentions, she kind of regretted choosing such a crowded place.
As soon as Theodore stopped her from leaving, it drew attention from the curious onlookers. She did not want to become the subject of gossip for everyone there.
Regardless of what Lucy thought, Theodore was relieved to see her stay.
However, the main issue still remained. How was he going to convince Lucy that he was not a fraud?
After organizing his thoughts for a moment, Theodore calmly analyzed the situation and said, "Think about
it. There's nothing for me to gainne
from lying to you. Why would anyone bother to lie about having an extra sister?
"Plus, I didn't force you to come with me, nor did I abduct you or anything. All I'm asking for is your DNA, which can be obtained from saliva, blood and such. If I were solely after these samples, I could've easily hired a private investigator to collect them without needing to approach you myself."
Lucy replied calmly, "Perhaps this is just a ruse you've concocted. It's a common tactic to lower the guard of others.”

remembered the most prominent feature of their family lineage and a smile appeared on his face.
He had hope now.
"Miss, do you have a birthmark?" he said suddenly.
The sudden change of topic left Lucy even more puzzled. How did the conversation shift to birthmarks?
"Everyone is born with birthmarks. What's so special about them? Are you going to tell me you remember where your long-lost sister's birthmark is?"
Lucy continued emphasizing the words 'long-lost sister' with a hint of sarcasm.
Theodore's smile widened. "Why would I bring it up if it were just an ordinary birthmark?”
