Andrew was shocked and furious. “Even if Natasha has a lot of resentment toward the family, she shouldn't ruin
her mother’s birthday like this.”
A funeral procession! Who was cursing?
Shawn shook his head and said, “That's not right. Miss Clark spent the past 17 years in the Clark family, and her
every birthday was treated as a day of mourning. Now it’s history repeating itself. Why can’t you accept it?”
He pretended to think. “Ah, do you still think it’s not enough? Do you want everyone's birthday to feel like a
death anniversary, too? It would be best to make it a full 17 times. If you have the need, I'm sur{Jr. Turner and
Miss Clark wouldn't begrudge the cost of the band.”
Upon hearing that, the procession behind him played mournful music with even greater fervor.
The high-pitched and sorrowful sound rang out.
Andrew dared not speak his anger.
He believed that if he said anything, Natasha, his unfilial daughter, and Alexei would truly go through with it.
The gossiping guests on the scene were struck silent.
Good heavens, whose birthday party turned into a funeral scene?
How ominous.
Thomas helped the weak-kneed Madeline, frowning as he looked at Shawn. “Shawn, since you mentioned the
death anniversary, you must know the history of the Clark family. There's a reason Natasha hasn't celebrated
her birthday since
she was six.”
“Oh, difficulties, | understand,” Shawn said, disrespectfully reaching out to tap the photo held by the person next
to him.
Shawn continued, “Emilia Sutton, Olivia’s mother. Oliviathe was the Clark family’s

adopted daughter. Emilia was also Miss Clark’s former aunt. Is it true that she died saving Miss Clark?”
He smiled, looking at Olivia, who was stiff. Her face was as pale as her mother’s in a black-and-white photo.
“Miss Sutton, do you think it is true?”
Olivia had a bad feeling ever since she saw the photos they brought in. Her body was trembling.
Ever since seeing those photos in front of the prison, she had been wondering when Natasha would expose it.
However, she never thought Natasha would be so ruthless, exposing it directly at Madeline's birthday party in
such a humiliating manner.
However, Shawn had no intention of letting her off easy. Seeing that she didn’t answer, he casually changed the
topic.
“Miss Clark had a question she couldn't understand, and she askedto ask about it today. Do you truly believe
someone would take another person's child into their hand raise her as their own because that person
saved the family’s child, while their own daughter, who barely survived, lives like an orphan?”
Upon hearing that, the guests began to murmur.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the past, people didn’t know the Clark family showed such extrfavoritism, or how miserably Natasha
lived. They knew the Clark family adopted Emilia’s daughter and even praised the Clark couple for their integrity
and loyalty. Andrew, in particular, leveraged that good reputation to secure several major projects, which laid the
foundation for the Clark family’s upward rise.
Later, when Natasha publicly severed ties with her family and the Clark family’s grievances becknown,
there was no shortage of people behind the scenes mocking the couple for their foolishness and ruthlessness.
Something indeed felt off when they thought about it carefully at that moment.
Andrew could be seen as blinded by greed, but what about Madeline, Natasha's mother?

“Why else? Either insane or hiding something.” A lazy male voice chimed in from
the side.
The Hill family was among the few to receive invitations to both birthday parties tonight. Ramona, the head of
the Hill family, naturally went to congratulate Edgar.
She sent Ryan, her cousin, to Andrew’s event to make an appearance.
Ryan felt a sense of ill omen seeing the place, which had ruined his unlucky cousin, Matthew, the second male
descendant of the Hill family.
After being disciplined a few times by Ramona, his sweet-talking but ruthless cousin, Ryan truly didn’t dare to
defy her arrangements.
Ryan was ready to leave after dutifully delivering the gift and witnessing the of the Wright family
brothers’ internal conflict.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing an imposing procession delivering gifts at the entrance, he circled back.
What a timely and fortunate return! Who would have thought tonight's main event would be there?
Ryan was happily filming, and his resentment about being sent alone to the dilapidated Clark family home
disappeared. The event at Ramona’s side tonight was definitely not as exciting as this.
Having worked with Ramona, Ryan recognized Shawn and knew Ramona had a good private relationship with
Natasha.
Upon hearing Shawn's question at that moment, he spontaneously chimed in.
Sure enough, Shawn seemed to recognize him and smiled. “Mr. Hill is right,” he said. “So, what exactly is worth
Mrs. Clark treating her daughter this way? We seem to have found something interesting.”
Madeline felt the gazes from all directions and was filled with the horror of her ugliest inner thoughts being
exposed. Her body went numb. She wanted to hide, but had nowhere to go.

Andrew also wanted to stop them, but the bodyguards who cwith Shawn were watching intently from the
side.
They powerlessly realized the show could only continue until he finished.
Natasha sent them today to completely expose the hypocrisy of the Clark family and trample their pretense to
the ground.
They would not stop until their goal was reached.
Sure enough, Shawn continued, “Many people know Miss Sutton’s mother is Emilia, but they don’t know who her
father is.”

changed drastically, he smiled and

Olivia clenched her fists. Shawn revealing her unknown background was like endless torture.
Having a father like that was the shof her life.
In the past, the Clark family was considerate of her feelings and never mentioned Emilia’s husband to outsiders.
They only treated him as if he had died long ago.
Hearing people nearby discuss, saying ‘like father, like daughter’ and that both were criminals, and looking at
her as if she were skind of filth, she felt like going crazy.
With such a background exposed, who would still consider Ryan a well-bred socialite from high society in the
future?
If it weren't for Madeline, Olivia would be Andrew's daughter. She should have lived the life of a wealthy young
lady!
It was Madeline who stole her mother’s life!
Olivia's eyes showed a twisted expression, but the Clark family, consumed by anxiety and fear, did not notice.

“But Madeline, whom we all know to be gentle and kind, even sympathetic to beggars, deliberately stole Emilia’s
intended partner despite knowing her feelings. Emilia couldn't handle the shock and married someone else in a
hurry.”
Andrew pressed his lips together, “I didn’t know Emilia at the time, and we weren't dating. That was an
unfortunate coincidence.”
Shawn nodded in agreement, “That's right. They were both single, so it only involved a minor moral issue at
most.”
