"She saved you!" Renee's mind was clouded by hatred. "Back then, those people wanted to kidnap you!
I was the one who got involved because of you!"
"You..."
"Krystal saved you out of consideration for your dad! Saving her old lover's child, she's really noble, huh?"
Lina bent over, clutching her stomach, which was throbbing in discomfort.
"But don't you forget who it was who wanted to kidnap me back then!" Lina bit down hard on each word. She had
not wanted to say these heartless words—they were like sharp blades that would leave others wounded. She did not
want to fall out with Renee as she still had a last bit of bottom line.
But she now understood that Renee was not worth it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtToph's decision to break up with her was correct. There was no need for sympathy when dealing with a venomous
snake.
"It was Melvin who wanted to kidnap me back then! It was Melvin who separated me from my parents for 20 years!
"Renee, I always treated you as a younger sister and felt sorry for you for losing your mother... I also thought that
we could be sisters for the rest of our lives. But now I understand that it was all my wishful thinking!"
"You..." Renee's lips trembled. "You don't hate that bitch, and you hate me instead?"
"I don't hate you," Lina said with a bitter smile. "Hating someone is too exhausting, and you're not worth my time. I
still have to live my life, and I just hope you won't be a part of it in the future!"
Renee stumbled back and happened to bump into a reporter's camera.
She was startled and heard the reporters behind her discussing eagerly. She had originally intended to bring them
there to reveal Lena's identity as an illegitimate daughter, but all of them were standing by Lena's side!
"Overall, this wealthy family drama is quite entertaining!"
"Yeah, the legitimate and illegitimate daughters teaming up against an outsider is quite rare!"
"If it weren't for Melvin, Nicholas wouldn't have suffered so much, not seeing his daughter for more than 20
years..."
Renee covered her ears, feeling choked up. Her tears suddenly surged, but she forcefully held them back.
"Alright, I think the show's over. Let's go!" Just as the reporters were about to leave, a voice suddenly echoed.
"Please stay put! I have something else to say."
They turned to look at the source of the voice.
It was Chris, standing there with a determined expression. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, knowing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat what he was going to say would hurt Lena. If he did not say it, however, this matter would never be resolved!
He did not want Lena to be labeled an illegitimate daughter, especially when she was never one!
Zuko looked worriedly at Chris and Lena, then squeezed Lina's shoulder.
"What's happened?" Lina had a bad premonition. "What is Chris going to say?"
"Let's wait and see," Zuko whispered. "Believe in Chris, honey. He will handle everything well."
Lina looked at Chris with a mixture of trust and doubt.
Standing in the crowd, Chris raised his phone to show everyone the DNA test result and spoke clearly. "I believe
you've all seen it... This is the DNA test report of Mr. Nicholas Thompson and Ms. Lena Harding. The report shows
they are not biologically related, with a zero percent likelihood of a blood relationship!"
The reporters erupted into a buzz of discussion, and the rest were left in shock.
As for Lena, her mind went blank. She stared at Chris in astonishment, unable to utter a word.
