The DNA Test That Will Shatter Their Lies Novel

When the Lights Went Dead by Riley Shore 2 Summary In this chapter, the tension escalates as a paternity test reveals that both Clara and the narrator are biological daughters of Mr. Simmons, contradicting Vivian's expectations. Vivian reacts with anger and disbelief, accusing Clara of bribing the doctor, but their father firmly defends Clara's integrity and insists that the results are accurate. He demands order and refuses to tolerate any public disgrace from the Simmons family. Vivian's resentment grows when she questions the legitimacy of Ethan, the boy raised as part of the family.

Her suspicion that Ethan might not be Mr. Simmons' biological son shocks the narrator, who realizes that the Lanes might have switched babies to secure a better life for their own child. This revelation adds a new layer of complexity and conflict within the family. The narrator suggests that Ethan should also undergo a paternity test, which surprises and angers Vivian. Ethan himself responds with skepticism and mockery, doubting that such a mix-up could happen given the obvious difference in gender.

However, their father, pragmatic and business-minded, does not dismiss the possibility and calmly orders a blood test for Ethan, indicating his desire to uncover the truth no matter what it may be.
