NovelEnglishChapter 247 "No... This can't be true. Nathan would never do this to me... He loves me, how could he do such a thing?" Adah's voice trembled, her hands shaking uncontrollably as the documents slipped from her fingers like hot coals.
Her inner defenses were crumbling, yet she still refused to believe it.
How could it be possible? Once, she was certain her family was happy and complete. Her husband loved her deeply, and her son and daughter were her hopes for the future.
But now, it seemed all of that was a lie, a deceit meticulously woven by Nathan.
The truth hit her like a ton of bricks.
There were simply too many coincidences. When one follows another, it's a clear sign these events were orchestrated.

Later, Nathan even changed Ethan Jones's nto Ethan Linwood...
Then, Vanessa was brought into the Linwood family by Nathan.
At that time, Adah was consumed with guilt over her lost daughter, pouring all her maternal love into Vanessa. Even though they had a nanny, she insisted on doing everything herself from feeding and changing diapers to teaching her first words and witnessing her first steps. She never missed a moment of Vanessa's growth.
Her entire heart was devoted to the child, leaving Nathan to make all the business decisions, while she stayed home, content to play the role of the devoted wife and mother.
Though doubts occasionally flickered in her mind, in the desolation of losing her father and daughter, she found herself alone in the vast Jones family. She clung to Nathan like a lifeline, deluding herself into believing in a love that was nothing but a comforting lie.
Yet, the truth was far more brutal than she ever imagined.
During her C-section, Nathan had bribed the doctor to cruelly remove one of her kidneys.
For years, she had loved Vanessa unconditionally, even going so far as to let her biological daughter, Claire, take the blfor Vanessa's actions, resulting in Claire suffering in prison for five long years.
And now, she discovered that the girl she had cherished as her own was actually Nathan's illegitimate daughter with his mistress! Each revelation struck her like a hammer to the heart, leaving her breathless with pain.
Her world was collapsing, everything before her becoming a blur as despair and helplessness washed over her like a relentless tide.
Her mind involuntarily conjured images of the hardships Claire had endured over the years.

While the mistress's daughter was adored, her own daughter was left battered and broken. Did Nathan and his mistress, Sophia, feel smug satisfaction in those moments? "Ah-" Adah suddenly screamed, clutching her head.
Nathan, how could you be so cruel? Everything she had done to Claire now felt like knives stabbing into her.
Crushed by guilt and shame, Adah felt she could hardly face Claire.
After a long moment, she mustered the courage to slowly lift her head her eyes filled with despair, remorse, and heartbreak as she gazed at Claire.
"I don't believe it. You fabricated all of this because you resent us for loving Vanessa more than you. This must be your way of getting back at me. It must be. She shook her head wildly, her hair flying in disarray, her eyes locked onto Claire's, as if trying to pierce through with her gaze, desperately searching for answers. But Claire's expression remained as calm as still waters, utterly unfazed.
