Chapter 18
At this time, Kim, Kerry, and Terry all arrived.
Looking at her once beloved daughter, who looked miserable and disheveled, Kerry didn’t know how to describe her feelings at that moment.
Yesterday, Terry had already told them everything.
Kerry fainted several times, and Kim, who had quit smoking for more than ten years, sat beside her and started smoking with a defeated expression.
“Grace, why did you do this?”
Everyone asked Grace this question after learning the truth.
They all wondered, “Why?
“Didn’t she already get many things that Amanda didn’t have?”
Grace fell silent for a moment.
She looked at Kerry, Kim, and Terry.
She laughed bitterly, “What does it matter that I have been raised and cared for so many years? She is your real daughter.”
For so many years, that had troubled her a lot.
Family ties were the most unbeatable.
“You are a silly girl.” Kerry pounded her chest. “It’s not just you who is silly.
“We were wrong. We were all wrong.”
At this point, Kerry had already become numb.
She looked at Adam and asked, “And what about her? Did you send someone to look for her?”
Regret and pain were also tormenting Kerry.
Kim and Terry didn’t look very good either.
Obviously, they were all unable to sleep at night.
“That is my daughter, my biological daughter. And I drove her away. How disappointed and how much she hated me? When I gave birth to her, I cherished her so much. When I found out she had been stolen, I wished I could die.
“Why did I treat her like that? I am so unforgivable. I don’t deserve to be a mother.”
Kerry cried uncontrollably.
Kim supported her but remained silent.
It took him a long time before he spoke.
“Adam, Terry, and I have already used all of the Hacker family’s connections to find Amanda. I know you are also very anxious and looking for her. I’m begging you. Please, if you have any news, can you let me know?”
With that, Kim was about to bow.
Adam stopped him and said, “Mr. Hacker, it is my responsibility to find Amanda.”
“Alright, please, if there is any news, make sure to inform the Hacker family. We must repay what we owe her, regardless of whether she accepts it or forgives us. We must repay it ”
Kerry murmured.
From beginning to end, neither Kim nor Kerry looked at Grace again.
“Adam, in our family, it is believed that people who do wrong things should always be punished.”
Terry supported his almost paralyzed mother, his eyes still red.
“Grace brought this upon herself and cannot be forgivable. Let the law take its course.”
At this moment, Grace could no longer hold back.

Her ho
She shouted.
“No! Mom, Dad, Terry, how could you treat me like this?
“I am your family, aren’t I? For the past twenty–something years, haven’t you loved me?
“How could you treat me like this?
“Adam, I beg you. I am willing to apologize to Amanda. I can do everything to make her forgive me.”
Grace looked terrible.
She knelt to reach Adam’s leg.
Adam took a step back mercilessly.
Grace wanted to pull Kim and Kerry, but they also retreated.
Even the soft–hearted Kerry did not waver this time.
She looked at the “adopted daughter” she had loved for over twenty years, utterly disappointed.
“Grace, it is of no use for you to seek anyone now, as what goes around comes around.
“You have enjoyed so many years of Amanda’s life. Now it’s time to repay her.
“None of us will let you get away with it anymore. You must pay for what
you
did.
“From now on, you are not worthy of being called Grace anymore. You were supposed to be called Amanda.”

Chapter 19
Grace thought, “What does it mean?”
When she heard it, Grace’s mind went blank, and she felt an unprecedented panic.
“Terry, Mom.”
Grace rushed toward the Hacker family, attempting to grasp one of their hands.
Unfortunately, she failed.
Terry discreetly helped Kerry to avoid Grace.
“How could you treat me like this? I couldn’t go to jail. Why should I go to jail?”
Grace couldn’t help shaking her head, her pleading gaze turned to Kim. “Dad, say something.”
In the past, Kim doted on her the most. As long as she pouted and shed a few tears, there was nothing that Kim wouldn’t agree to.
“That’s enough,” Kim scolded angrily. “In the past, our family could tolerate your mistakes, but now you have harmed your sister. You have taken advantage of our love for you and played with us in the palm of your hand. There’s no need to pretend anymore.”
Kim had an angry expression on his face and disappointment filled his eyes.
“After Amanda came back, we never treated you poorly just because she is Yet, you still weren’t satisfied and committed such an ugly act.”
our
biological daughter. We even neglected her for fear of making you unhappy.
Kim had been dominating the business market for decades, but little did he expect to be deceived by his daughter, whom he had nurtured for over twenty
years.
At that moment, anger almost overwhelmed Kim. “Since you have become heartless and unjust, then we will consider you as if we never had a daughter like you. These past twenty years, all the time and effort… We could pretend nothing had happened between us.
After finishing speaking, Kim turned to the butler. “Go throw all her belongings out. We no longer have her.”
Grace was startled.
She couldn’t believe that Kim would turn so heartless.

“Haha. Now everything wrong is my fault? You don’t care about your daughter. And you don’t trust me. It’s all my fault, right? Clearly, you blinded yourselves and deceived yourselves. It’s your stupidity.
“You guys deserved it. Amanda deserved it too,” Grace shouted.
There came a loud sound.
A heavy slap fiercely landed on Grace’s face.
This time, it was unexpectedly Kerry, who had always cherished Grace the most.
She said with red eyes, “These years, it’s our fault as parents for not teaching you well. Now we have to atone, and you must atone too.
“Mr. Powell, we will temporarily assign these two things to you. We will also send people to search for her. We will do what needs to be done.” Kerry wiped away her tears.
Although she was heartbroken, she still gathered her spirits.
“Okay,” Adam said concisely.
After the Hacker family left, only Adam and Grace remained in the ward.
“I know you didn’t want to die, and you shouldn’t think about forcing death or using suicide to get someone’s attention anymore. As you can see, no one will fall for your tricks anymore. Now, explain everything you have done to Amanda over the years.”
Adam looked at Grace and said, “I would consider making your time in prison a bit easier.”
Half an hour later, Adam walked out of the ward.
In the recording, Grace admitted to all the crimes she had committed against Amanda over the years.
Adam’s heart ached as if being twisted.

He couldn’t imagine how Amanda had managed to survive all these years on her own.
Timon had been snowy recently.
Adam extended his hand, allowing the snowflakes to flow into his palm.
“Where were you, Amanda?”
Adam muttered to himself.
***
It was in Grenada.
Amanda sat on the open balcony, gazing absentmindedly at the sparkling sea under the brilliant sunlight.
A gust of sea breeze brushed by.
Amanda stood up and walked into the room, taking out paints and a canvas.
When she was in Ouray, she learned to paint for nearly ten years with an older sister.
That older sister was beaten to death until she failed to escape.
She was also abducted.
Amanda walked out of the mountains, but she remained forever in that ugly land.
