Upon seeing them, Samuel’s expression darkened, his gaze turning cold as if facing a formidable adversary. “Daisy, you’re not welcome here. Leave ”
“I don’t want to be here either,” Daisy replied with cold indifference. “But I’ve come to take back what’s mine.”
With an immediate motion, she raised her hand
The three people behind her stepped forward. The middle–aged man at the front addressed Samuel and his wife, tone official. “We are from Rodriguez Law Firm. We’re here today to…”

At that moment, Desmond learned of the Johnson Group’s origins. Daisy’s grandfather had founded it. Upon his passing, he had left his shares to his daughter and son–in–law, but the will carried a condition, When Daisy grew up and married, the shares held by her parents would be handed over to her as her dowry. Desmond finally understood why Samuel and Heather had worked so hard to keep Daisy from marrying
It wasn’t just Hannah’s obvious favoritism toward her adopted daughter; it was fear. Samuel feared that Daisy, upon marriage, would claim the shares he was entitled to
Desperate, the father and daughter were willing to go to any lengths, even harming Daisy. It was laughable. Desmond had once believed Heather’s affection was genuine, abandoning the woman who truly loved him repeatedly for her.
At that moment, Desmond felt like nothing but a fool, an unwitting puppet, completely duped.
Samuel and Heather’s faces twisted in shock when the lawyer revealed the will.
Samuel’s voice dropped low, his words venomous “Daisy has severed all ties with us. By law, she’s no longer a part of the Johnson Family and has no claim to the shares.”
The lawyer remained unshaken. “This will stand, regardless of Daisy severing ties with you. Mr. Johnson, please proceed with the share transfer without delay.”
He turned to Hannah. The shares you gave to Heather are invalid gifts. Return them immediately.”
Hannah’s rage flared. She shot Daisy a venomous glare. “If your grandfather were alive and saw what you’ve become, he’d regret his decision!”
“If I had known, I’d have left you to your fate, ungrateful wretch!“*
But Daisy didn’t flinch. No emotion stirred in her eyes.
Gordon, however, was a storm ready to break. Stepping forward, he fixed Hannah with a cold gaze. “Mrs. Johnson, right? I have something for you.”

“You’ve sacrificed everything for your adopted daughter, even turning your back on your blood. Now, you’ll see exactly who she is.”
At his words, both Samuel and Heather’s faces lost all color.
They could already feel the weight of what Gordon was about to reveal. As they scrambled to stop him, Hannah
had already unfolded the document in her hands
It was a paternity test, a damning one between her husband and her adopted daughter.
Was He
Hannah froze, her eyes locking onto the final line. When she saw the probability that her husband was Heather’s father at 99.999%, it was as if a thunderclap had shattered her reality
Her face drained of color as she slowly raised her eyes to Heather, barely able to whisper, “You’re my husband’s illegitimate daughter?”
“Mom,” Heather grabbed her hand in a panic, her voice trembling. “It’s not true. Your sister or someone else must
have forged this to trick you.”
“How could I be Dad’s illegitimate daughter? He’s always been so loyal to you. He would never betray you!”
Heather spoke with such conviction that Hannah, who had always trusted her, was again swayed
Her heart settled as she nodded, “Yes, your father would never betray me. We’ve been together for so many
years. He wouldn’t secretly have another woman.”
With a hateful glare, Hannah suddenly began to speak recklessly, “I know you’re good at forging lies and distorting the truth, but I never imagined you’d go so far as to come up with such a vicious scheme! Why don’t you just go die? If you die, everyone will be at peace!”
