âNone of you are allowed to talk about this!â Mdm. Willis said coldly as she was seated in the main chair.
âThis is our familyâs biggest secret. Whoever says a word about this will be kicked out of the family!â
Everyone on the spot nodded with a serious look.
Right then, an indifferent voice came from the entrance.
âOh, the familyâs secret. Am I not a member of the Willis family? Why canât I learn about it?â
A skinny figure slowly walked inside as the voice echoed.
She was dressed in a casual white outfit, and her hair casually fell on her shoulders. Her gaze was indifferent, and she flashed a faint smile. She looked extremely normal, but she frightened all the family members.
Mdm. Willis glanced back. When she saw that Adeena had come alone, she sighed in relief and said, âDeena, I heard from your father that your family has found you?â
Adina pulled out a chair and sat down.
She had never been that capricious and presumptuous in the Willis family before.
Everyone in the house knew that things would not go over her head so easily today.
Kendry even broke out in cold sweat.
He had lied to Duke.
âDuke Winters is my husband,â Adina answered with a faint smile.
Right after she spoke, everyoneâs face turned pale. There was a difference between hearing about it and seeing proof.
Nobody had expected a foster daughter to have such a noble identity and be unapproachable.
âDad, you told my husband that you replaced my blood because I experienced massive bleeding from giving birth? âYou even said that my baby was born prematurely , so she died as soon as she was born, hence the Willis family had nothing to do with it?â
She curled her lips widely, and her smile was inexplicably sharp like a glinting knife that attacked fiercely. Kendryâs head was drenched in more cold sweat. He stammered, âThâThatâs what happenedâ¦â
Clink!
Adina immediately slammed a glass onto the table.
âDid you just make up such a ridiculous story because I lost my memories?â Her voice was extremely cold.â Kendry Willis, do you really think that the Willis family can cover everything up? Do you really think that the Winters family wonât be able to dig it all up?â
âDeena , weâre telling the truth!â Jada shielded Kendry and spoke in a trembling voice. âYour foster father and I saved you from the seaside at that time. We sent you to the hospital and took good care of you for one whole year. Think about it. The Willis family is quite rich, yet we spent a lot of money taking care of you. If you were found by ordinary people, you would have died in the hospital. No matter what, the Willis family saved you. You canât be ungratefulâ¦â
Adina nearly chuckled out of anger.
Jada had treated her quite well over the past three years, but she did all that just to atone for her sin.
However, the life of Adinaâs daughter could not be repaid with an atonement!
âStop making up stories! I remember everything!â Adina said with hostility. âBefore my baby was even seven months old in my belly, you bribed the doctor to cut my belly open and take her out. Tell me!
Where did you take my baby?!â
She suddenly moved forward and pushed Kendry against the wall.
Kendry was an adult man, but he could not put up a fight at all.
âIt doesnât matter whether sheâs dead or alive. She should be somewhere !â Adina questioned him without mercy.
The thought of the incident three years ago made her want to strangle Kendry to death.
To save Ruth, he actually ignored her and her babyâs lives. If she had not been fortunate enough, she probably would have died too.
âDeena, itâs my fault!â Ruth rushed over and grabbed Adinaâs wrist. âIf I wasnât severely sick, Dad and Mom wouldnât have come up with this solution! Please donât blame my parents. If youâre angry, please let it out on me. Iâll bear anythingâ¦â
âYouâre the precious daughter whom your parents have protected, and so am I!â Adinaâs words were filled with heartbreak. âI was separated from my biological father for twenty years, and we finally reunitedâ¦â
Her voice traveled out from the living room.
Two tall men were standing in the mansionâs courtyard.
Daniel was slightly anxious. âI better go in. Iâm afraid that Addy wonât be able to handle it.â
