Chapter 895
Compared to Evelyn, Nicole seemed much calmer.
After finishing her sentence, Siobhan looked up at Nicole, asking, "Do you have any plans for now?"
"What are your and Old Mr. Wrenn's plans, Madam Gould?" Nicole asked in reply.
Jackson happened to look up at her when he heard the question, and there was some kind of friction as the three
people's eyes met. In the end, he announced in a grave voice, "I'm planning to hold a press conference tomorrow
to announce that you're my and Siobhan's daughter."
Nicole was startled for a moment. Little did she think he could be so decisive as to hold a press conference
tomorrow.
However, before she could speak, Evelyn, who was trembling all over, said, "No." She seemed pitiful with tears in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther eyes.
Having been the daughter of the Wrenn Family for so many years, she dared not believe that she was actually a
fake. Her lips were trembling as tears gushed from her eyes. Looking at Jackson, she asked in a tearful voice, "Dad,
what about me if you do this?"
Jackson was moved to pity when he saw how pitiful she looked. Evelyn was the daughter of Madeline, who was to
blame for his own daughter being swapped at birth back then. Still, it was difficult for him to brush aside the
daughter he had personally brought up for so many years. Therefore, he had no intention of blaming Evelyn for
Madeline's faults. Looking up at Evelyn, he replied in a faint voice, "You're still my daughter. This will never change."
Evelyn sniffled piteously without saying anything else.
Nicole lowered her eyes as a wry smile spread across her lips. She said imperturbably, "Old Mr. Wrenn, you don't
have to be in such a hurry. I'm your daughter, but I can only be considered a stranger who is related to you by
blood. Let's wait until we know each other better."
Her easy manner made Jackson see her in a new light. People would scramble to join the Wrenn Family or the Gould
Family, yet she remained unperturbed despite being his and Siobhan's actual daughter.
Siobhan looked up at Nicole with a somewhat different look in her eyes. Lowering her voice, she asked, "Don't you
want to return to our family?"
Nicole clasped her hands together. Looking calmly at Siobhan, she replied slowly, "Madam Gould, I know you're my
birth mother, but it's been over 20 years now, and I'm already used to being alone. Relationships take time to
develop."
"Do you know what it means to be a daughter of the Wrenn Family?" Siobhan asked while staring at Nicole.
Naturally, Nicole knew what that meant: she could enjoy endless wealth and honor in addition to supreme power.
Curling her lips into a faint smile, she replied impassively, "You must've looked into my identity and the assets under
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmy name after getting the DNA paternity tests done, so you should know that I don't lack anything, Madam Gould."
Siobhan was stumped by Nicole's reply. However, the latter was right. Although she didn't have as many assets
under her name as the Wrenns and the Goulds did, she did have enough wealth to spend over several lifetimes.
Siobhan could hardly imagine how a penniless woman could amass so much wealth in just five years. Had she
possessed some capital in the beginning, she might have already built a business empire by now. She lowered her
eyes. At the moment, Nicole could do well by herself without having to attach herself to the Wrenn Family. "Okay, I'll
take time to think about this. That being said, you're my birth daughter, after all. It was my fault for making you
suffer so much by not having everything considered back then. Could you give Mom a chance, Nicole?" she asked in
a gentle voice.
Nicole froze; she trembled all over when Siobhan said the word "Mom." She did perceive maternal love during her
childhood, but she also went through endless suffering. At the time, Madeline had to work from dawn till dusk, so
she could only stay at home alone while obediently waiting for her mother to return.
