Chapter 373 Driven to Madness Chloe spoke loudly. Her heart was leaping with joy. If this was indeed the case, the current situation would be highly advantageous for her.
If Kelly was not "Henrietta's daughter", the will declared earlier would be null and void, and the assets of the Young family could be redistributed.
Seeing Kelly visibly flustered by her question fueled Chloe's excitement further. But it wasn't enough to just question her. Chloe wanted to add to Oliver's anger.
"If you were truly Henrietta's daughter, I would have wholeheartedly supported you inheriting everything from the Young family. But I never expected you to be a fraud.
"Thankfully we found out before it was too late. Otherwise, you would've taken everything that rightfully belonged to Henrietta's real daughter!" Chloe kept mentioning "Henrietta", seemingly forgetting how opposed she was when the will was announced. She deliberately mentioned Henrietta to fuel Oliver's anger.
As expected, a hint of guilt surfaced beneath his furious glare. All these years, Oliver had been living with guilt because of Henrietta. How could he not feel guilty for mistaking an impostor as Henrietta's daughter? Chloe was satisfied when she saw Oliver's guilt surfacing. She felt so satisfied that she didn't think much when she saw Oliver's gaze land on Rose.
Overjoyed, Chloe immediately turned to Oliver and requested, "Dad, since Kelly is not of the Young family's bloodline, we must disqualify her inheritance and remove her from the family record!" Chloe's words hung in the air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnastasia immediately supported the notion. "Aunty is right. Not only that, she had tried to harm Grandpa multiple times. We can't let her off easily!" Can't let her off...
For a moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Kelly. Their gazes were filled with disdain, condemning her for her deception and ruthlessness. It was as if they wished for her to suffer.
But Kelly wasn't afraid of suffering their condemnation. She was more afraid of losing. She wasn't ready to give up. She was unwilling to accept that her deception had been exposed. She wasn't willing to accept that her hard work amounted to nothing.
Her built-up resentment fueled her determination to push on. She ignored Chloe and Anastasia. Instead, she fixed her sincere gaze on Oliver. "Grandpa, but... I am Henrietta's daughter!" As long as she was Henrietta's daughter, Oliver couldn't do anything to her. It was Kelly's last hope.
Jonathan laughed coldly. "If you're Henrietta's daughter, then who is she?" he asked, pointing at Chelsea.
Following his gaze, Kelly met Chelsea's eyes. And in that moment, both of them trembled involuntarily. Then, Kelly answered firmly, "She's my adoptive mother." "Adoptive mother? Sure, an adoptive mother with blood ties. Alright!" Jonathan sneered and exchanged a glance with Finley.
Immediately, Finley retrieved a file from one of the bodyguards and threw it at Kelly's feet.
The document bore the emblem of a prestigious Aquastead authentication agency, with the words "mother- daughter relationship" prominently written in the results column. And the person being authenticated was...
Kelly looked at the non the paternity test report, and her mind started buzzing. All her hopes collapsed. Kelly instinctively wanted to destroy the report. But just as her hand reached out for it, someone else snatched it away. Kelly looked up and saw Chloe beaming with excitement.
Chloe stared at the names on the report and said, "Chelsea... and Kelly... are related by blood! Ha! Kelly, Chelsea is your biological mother." Every word reminded Kelly that her plan had failed.
Even when the evidence was presented, Kelly still denied it in front of everyone. "No! There must be an error. This report has an error! That's right, this report is fake. It must've been fabricated..." Kelly desperately wanted to shake off any connection she had with Chelsea.
She repeated to herself over and over again that she was the true heiress of the Young family, not Chelsea's daughter.
She believed that she deserved to have the best of everything in the world. Only if she was the Young family's heiress, and if she inherited the Young family's assets, could she be on top of the world. Excitement filled her eyes. There was even a hint of madness visible. Everyone watched her with disdain, especially Oliver and Nixon, who used to think she was an innocent woman. They finally saw her true, and ugly, side.
"Chelsea, hurry up and tell them that I'm not your daughter. I was adopted from the orphanage. I am Henrietta's daughter! I have the Young family's blood!" Kelly suddenly turned to Chelsea. When Kelly noticed the sadness in Chelsea's eyes, she urged her again, "Tell them, Chelsea!" Chelsea suddenly snapped out of her thoughts. She was indeed a part of Kelly's plan to impersonate the Young family's heiress. She evemet" orchestrated Jamie's accident to clear Kelly's path. She would've done anything for Kelly.
But now, hearing Kelly call her "Chelsea" and denying their relationship stung her heart. Chelsea met Kelly's mad gaze. She was stunned for a moment.
Kelly hurriedly yelled at her, "Hurry up and say it! Are you mute?" Perhaps because of her agitation, Kelly grabbed Chelsea's arm fiercely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChelsea winced in pain, but her heart ached more. Eventually, she managed to say, "I..." but the words 'am only Kelly's adoptive mother' didn't escape her lips.
Before Chelsea could continue, a cold voice interrupted her. "We'll deal with the matters one by one." Jonathan's cold glare landed on Chelsea. She felt a chill down her spine, forgetting what she was going to say next. She knew exactly what "matters" Jonathan was referring to.
"Kelly, let's give " "Shut up!"
Kelly knew what she was about to say and forcefully cut her off. Her mother wanted her to give up the Young family and to give up her title as the Young family heiress. But she was so close to winning. She couldn't give up!
Kelly's expression becincreasingly frenzied. "Don't be afraid of him. I am the Young family m Ve heiress. Even the Finch family wouldn't dare to harm you!" Kelly grabbed Chelsea's hand, fearlessly locking eyes with Jonathan. The most pressing matter was still to establish her identity as the Young family heiress. "Hurry..." Kelly urged eagerly.
But under Jonathan's cold gaze, Chelsea dared not utter a word.
Amid the tension, Oliver's voice rang out once more. "There's no need for her to speak. Even if she did, it wouldn't count as evidence, Miles... pass it to her." Oliver instructed. Everyone turned to look at Miles, curious about what Oliver was referring to. Miles brought out a file. Inside the file were thick stacks of papers.
X RULE #1 choose Miles tossed it in the air casually causing the papers to scatter across the room. Almost everyone had one in front of them. Just a glance was enough to see clearly.
