1994 (#4) - Victor's doubts about Cole's paternity and Marvin's biological test

The whole story of the annulment of Victoria's marriage has left deep worries not only in the young girl, but also in Victor himself who, embittered by the fact that Victoria has decided not to speak to him anymore, soon finds himself reflecting on all the events that have taken place in the last year, from Cole's return, to Eve's death up to his daughter's wedding. Caught up in the memories, Victor begins to flip through a folder regarding some documents that Eve, upon her return to Victor, left at the ranch. And the man is stunned when he finds in his hands a letter from Eve evidently addressed to an old love, Marvin Oakley and dated just a year before the birth of Cole, at the time when Eve worked as a secretary, and lover, of the man. In Victor, so, immediately insinuates the doubt that Cole may not be his son. Victor asks Douglas for advice, and they both agree that they must track down this Marvin Oakley. After much searching, Douglas finally gets the man's address, and he is brought to Victor. Marvin is not at all happy to talk to Victor about his old affair with Eve and, absolutely unwilling to do any paternity testing, leaves in annoyance. Douglas, however, manages to obtain a hair of the man to use as a sample for the paternity test. In secret from Cole and Victoria, then, Victor performs the paternity test to determine who between him and Marvin might be the man's father, using as a sample of Cole's DNA, who in the meantime is out of town, a bloodstain of his left on a book caused by the paper. Victor is disappointed, however, when Dr. Freddy Cohen reveals to the man that he has been unable to determine who between the two samples may be the father due to the lack of relevance of the samples obtained, not being able to even give the certainty that the father is necessarily one of the two.
