Chapter 13 - ELAINE TRIED TO CHALLENGE EMMA’S PATERNITYWhen the trust challenge failed, Elaine got uglier.

She suggested Emma might not be Lucas’s child.
There was no evidence.
None.
She simply needed another path.
Lucas exploded when he learned.
I did not.
I ordered a court-recognized DNA test through counsel.
Not because Elaine deserved proof.
Because I wanted the allegation dead before Emma grew old enough to hear it.
Result:
99.9999 percent probability Lucas was Emma’s father.
Elaine lost another argument.
But Lucas did something important.
He said:
“If the result were different, locking her in a shed would still be wrong.”

We were not going to let DNA become moral permission.
