NovelEnglishChapter 471 Hearing Adah's shameless words, Claire's disgust toward her only grew.
All that talk about making it up to her-did Adah really not remember how deeply she'd hurt Claire in their last life? Did she not know just how much Claire had cto hate the Linwood family back then? If Adah truly wanted to make amends, then she should act as if she were dead- never appear in Claire's life again.
Adah gazed at Claire, her eyes brimming with a feigned tenderness. "Claire, I'm your real mother. Chwith me, sweetheart." But Claire's face was icy, none of the warmth she showed the Tempests remained.
"This is my home," she replied coldly.
The sting of rejection from her own daughter pierced Adah's heart all over again.

He's the one who left you at the orphanage—I had no idea." "Now that I've finally found you, can't you just chwith me? Please?" "You always liked pretty dresses, didn't you? I can buy you as many as you want, any kind you like." Claire scoffed inwardly. She didn't care about dresses. She just cherished whatever the Tempests gave her-even a leaf, a stone, anything at all. As long as it cfrom them, she treasured it.
As for Adah, even if she managed to pluck the moon from the sky and offer it to her, Claire wouldn't be interested.
She nestled herself into Mrs. Tempest's embrace.
"Mom, I'm so tired." Mrs. Tempest stroked Claire's little back, her eyes full of warmth and adoration.
"If you're tired, just sleep, darling. You've had a long day with all those reporters around. No wonder you're exhausted." With that, she scooped Claire into her arms and headed straight upstairs.
Adah lunged forward, desperate to snatch Claire away.
"Where are you taking my daughter? Give her back to me! She's my child!" Mr. Tempest quickly stepped between them. "You're not welchere. Please leave." "Leave? Why should I? If you wanted a daughter so badly, you should've had your own. Why are you stealing someone else's child? Have you no shame?" Mr. Tempest's expression darkened. He had no intention of arguing with a madwoman.
"Someone, get her out of here." At his command, two security guards dressed in black appeared, one on each side of Adah. Without a word, they hauled her out and slammed the door behind her.
This time, no matter how much Adah screamed and pounded on the door, no one cto let her in.
Night slowly fell, and Adah's voice grew hoarse. Defeated, she cast one last longing glance at the Tempest mansion before finally turning away.
A shabby apartment.

As Adah reached the door, she could already hear Nathan shouting inside. "Ethan, is this how you take care of your sister? Your mom and I were locked up for days, and you bring her totive in this dump?" "You're a boy, you can treat hardship as a lesson, but your sister's just a kid-she grew up pampered, how could you let her suffer like this?" "I bet you did this on purpose. You're just like your mother, both of you get on my nerves!" Adah's temples throbbed with rage.
So this is how Nathan treated her children when she wasn't around? If he could look down on his own son like this, who knows what he did to Claire when Adah wasn't there to see it? With a thunderous crash, Adah kicked the apartment door open.
The sudden noise startled Nathan. When he saw it was Adah, his face twisted with fury. "What the hell is wrong with you?" If looks could kill, Nathan would have been a dead man under Adah's glare.
She didn't waste a single word.
Grabbing the broom leaning against the wall, she started beating Nathan withit, each strike fueled by all the hatred and anger she could muster.
