Chapter: 196
Sarah was in a state of turmoil, not knowing what to say or do.
Ariana’s voice became more and more passionate as she spoke.
“You can’t just surrender like this, Sarah. You can’t just throw it all away because of some difficulties. If
you do, then you’ll be letting Elva win and proving Lynch’s fans right. We can’t let that happen. We
have to stand up for the truth and clear your name. We can’t let Alina’s suffering go in vain. If we don’t
speak up now, then we’re allowing all the lies and false accusations, including the one about you
cheating, to go unchallenged.”
Sarah couldn’t hold back her sadness and told Ariana, “I need time to think about it. Let me calm
down.” With tears in her eyes, Sarah turned around and rushed out of the room.
As Sarah walked away, Ariana let out a heavy sigh. She approached Aziel and apologized, “I’m sorry, I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshouldn’t have brought Sarah here without your permission.”
Guilt filled Ariana, as she had promised not to reveal the secret, but ended up exposing it.
Aziel dismissed Ariana’s apologies and said, “I actually overheard your conversation outside the door. If
seeing these collections can give Sarah the motivation to start again, then I am willing to show them to
her. It may bring her some comfort.
Not only me but also her numerous fans will always be there for her.”
Throughout the night, Ariana and Betsy worked tirelessly to address the rumors and speculation
swirling around Sarah on the Internet.
Regarding the speculation that Sarah was going to quit the variety show and the entertainment
industry, as long as they didn’t issue a statement confirming it, it wouldn’t do much harm.
They grappled with how to address the sensitive topic of Alina’s background, as Ariana herself was
unaware of the truth.
After Sarah retreated into her room, she refused to come out.
With Sarah being the only one who could potentially turn the situation around, Ariana felt the weight of
the situation heavily on her shoulders. If Sarah chose to give up, there was nothing they could do.
After a long night of addressing public opinion, Ariana took a break to eat a sandwich, feeling
exhausted.
Just as she was about to grab a glass of water, her phone buzzed with a message.
It was from Sarah.
Eagerly, Ariana opened it to find an adoption certificate for Alina and a medical report proving Lynch’s
infertility. @
Ariana gazed intently at the two images displayed before her, studying each detail with a mixture of
relief and empathy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the truth slowly dawned on her, she couldn’t help but feel a weight lifted from her chest. Alina, it
seemed, was not Sarah’s biological daughter, but had been adopted into the family. This explained why
there was no blood connection between Alina and Lynch, and why Sarah had kept the truth from her.
Ariana couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness as she imagined the fear and confusion that Alina must
have experienced. To be cast aside by her biological parents at such a young age, and then to be
faced with the reality of her true origins later in life, would be a devastating blow. The thought of the
young girl being branded as an illegitimate child and scorned by society made Ariana’s heart ache.
The weight of the situation finally got to be too much for Sarah.
It seemed the words Ariana spoke in the collection room had made an impact. Though Sarah might not
be fighting for herself, she knew she needed to fight for Alina.
With this newfound information, Ariana sprang into action.
