"You mean there is another person who strongly resembles her?" Rex felt a surge of anticipation. He was eager to know more.

"Yes! And when this person was younger, his face bore a striking resemblance to hers. That\'s why I believe they are related by blood. But..." Theodor paused, his hands clasping together as his palms grew sweaty. 

The thought of the test results frightened Theodor. If Scarlett and that person are related, it could potentially lead to a massive scandal within the royal family.

"But what?" Rex couldn\'t hold back his patience waiting for Theodor to continue his words.

Theodor\'s uneasy gaze met Rex\'s curious gaze. He secretly took a deep breath before saying, "If the results confirm her connection to that person, her life could be in danger!"

Rex was momentarily struck speechless, trying to grasp Theodor\'s words. "Are you saying that she might be in danger?" he asked, repeating Theodor\'s statement.

"Yes!" Theodor confirmed. 

"Why? Who the hell is this person you\'re referring to? Your father?" Rex\'s anger surged at the thought of another threat looming over Scarlett\'s life. If anyone intended to harm her, he vowed to be the first to eliminate them.

Theodor\'s face turned sour when he heard Rex accusing his father. "No, absolutely not!" he quickly denied. "But, my uncle... he is the former king of this country, King Roland Gilwynn!"

Rex\'s expression grew grim, unable to understand how Rosalie Withers could form a relationship with the king of this country and give birth to his children. The whole situation seemed so absurd.

Rex closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to make sense of this bizarre story. The story presented a baffling puzzle in his mind.

After a moment, Rex opened his eyes slowly, meeting Theodor\'s gaze. "The results? Where are the results?" he asked, his voice filled with tension.

Rex couldn\'t fathom the possibility that Scarlett could be the daughter of the former king of this country until he laid eyes on the results of the DNA test result.

"The results are here!" Theodor handed Rex a white envelope, his eyes fixated on it with an indescribable expression. Nervousness overtook him.

"Have you seen the results?" Rex inquired as he received the envelope.

"No. I\'m too afraid to look at them. I fear I won\'t be able to keep this information to myself..." Theodor confessed.

Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Rex, it\'s better if you see it. You need to decide the necessary steps to protect her if... Well, man, I don\'t want Scarlett to get hurt," he spoke earnestly.

Rex nodded, agreeing with Theodor\'s concern. He slowly opened the envelope and checked its contents. Instantly, his hand trembled. Despite his efforts to control his reaction to the test results, his shock was evident on his face.

"T-This..." Rex struggled to find the words. He carefully folded the paper and returned it to the envelope. Then, he lifted his head and gazed at Theodor. "The results confirm that she is indeed related to your uncle," he said. 

"Shit!! We are in trouble!" Theodor muttered as he brushed his hand through his hair, scared at the thought of Scarlett\'s identity being revealed.I think you should take a look at

Veins popped up on Rex\'s forehead as he watched Theodor\'s frightened reaction.

"Theodor, I need you to be honest with me. Why would Scarlett be in danger if her identity were to be discovered by the royal family?" Rex asked with utmost seriousness. 

Rex wasn\'t particularly interested in delving into Theodor\'s family problem. However, considering the seriousness of Scarlett\'s situation, he needs some clarification.

Attempting to maintain composure, Theodor began to explain the potential risks faced by Scarlett.

Upon hearing the explanation, Rex found himself increasingly bewildered. He felt like he wanted to beat this stupid and useless Theodor.

"Given the known threat, why on earth are you still pressuring her to meet your family? Are you foolish or downright senseless?" Rex couldn\'t hold back his scolding tone. "If they were to recognize her the moment they laid eyes on her, wouldn\'t that mean big trouble?"

Theodor swallowed hard, feeling the weight of Rex\'s words. He was initially hesitant to address Rex\'s question, but the intensity of Rex\'s anger made it impossible to ignore. With a deep breath, he finally explained his intentions.

"Well, I planned to have Scarlett observe my family at the king\'s party while disguised so that she could draw her conclusions about their striking resemblance. I wanted her to uncover the truth on her own without having me tell her about it, explicitly or implicitly..." Theodor paused, allowing his words to sink in.

"However, now that we have the DNA test results, there\'s no need for her to expose herself and go to the king\'s birthday party," he concluded.

Rex remained silent, his mind consumed with thoughts of the following steps. He disregarded Theodor\'s rambling, considering it nothing more than nonsensical chatter.

The room fell silent as Rex and Theodor were lost in their own thoughts, each one grappling with the best solution in this matter. 

Eventually, it was Rex who broke the stillness, rising from his seat and fixing his gaze upon Theodor.

"Let\'s go meet Scarlett immediately," Rex declared, striding purposefully out of the room. He simultaneously contacted his assistant to arrange for a car.

"Rex, are you certain it\'s wise to reveal this to Scarlett now? Is it truly the best solution?" Theodor asked, trailing behind Rex as they made their way toward the elevator.

"Yes, we must inform her without delay," Rex responded, glancing at Theodor. "You\'re aware that she\'s searching for her missing mother, right?" 

Rex continued after Theodor nodded in affirmation. "Time is crucial as Scarlett must decide whether to confront your uncle and potentially uncover clues about her mother or refrain from doing so."

Theodor agrees with Rex. 

It had only been a few days since he discovered Scarlett had been searched for her mother\'s whereabouts. Theodor couldn\'t help but imagine the immense sadness in Scarlett\'s life story, which only deepened his sympathy for her.
