Chapter 258

Yana bore no resemblance to either Alexander or Judith.

Could she really be their daughter?

They both seemed hesitant, possibly fearing another false alarm.

Sensing Alexander and Judith’s doubt, Carl quickly intervened, “Honored guests, please come in and have a seat.”

“Let’s go inside,” Alexander said, holding Judith’s hand.

Judith withdrew her gaze from Yana and slowly nodded.

Perhaps tempering her expectations.

After all, there are countless children in the world who don’t resemble their parents.

Maybe her daughter was one of them.

It could very well be her long–lost precious daughter! She must be careful not to hurt her feelings.

Carl, meanwhile, kept stealing glances at the line of bodyguards behind Alexander and Judith.

What the hell.

These bodyguards were really scary.

When he occasionally looked into their eyes, Carl’s legs went weak.

The bodyguards followed them to the living room door.

They seemed about to enter when Alexander gestured for them. “You wait outside.”

The bodyguards responded and immediately spread out to guard the entrances and exits.

Carl wiped the sweat from his forehead, relieved he hadn’t planned anything against Alexander and Judith.

Emergency calis Otherwise, he might not even know how he died.

“Please, come in.” Carl hurriedly ushered them into the living room.

In the living room of the Miller residence.

With the bodyguards gone, Carl finally relaxed.

He dismissed all the servants, leaving only the two families in the hall.

Before Carl could say anything.

Yana stood up and said indifferently, “You all talk. I’ll go upstairs.”

She turned to leave.

Judith kept glancing at Yana out of the corner of her eye.

When Yana started to leave, Judith couldn’t help but speak up anxiously. “Why are you leaving so soon? We haven’t even talked yet.”

Yana glanced at her with a detached expression. “The King and Queen of Tonico, such esteemed individuals, how could someone insignificant like me be worthy to speak with you?”

Yana words were laced with irony.

Alexander and Judith became anxious.

“Child, why would you say something like that suddenly?” Alexander asked nervously.

Yana scoffed. “Stop pretending! Your expressions clearly show that you don’t believe I am your daughter. What, do you think I’m trying to cling to your family? That I’m desperate for the title of a princess?”

Yana then turned to Carl and Jane. “I’ve told you! There’s no need to find my biological parents for me.

I’m perfectly happy living with the Miller family. I don’t care about any biological ties. In this lifetime, I only recognize you two. As for anyone else, even if they’re some king or queen, I don’t care for them.”

Emergency calls only…

Yana said.

10:03 Carl quickly reprimanded her, “Yana, you can’t talk to your biological parents like that!”

“What biological parents? Didn’t you see? They don’t want to acknowledge me, and I don’t want to acknowledge them! I only need you two,” Yana said defiantly.

“Silly girl.” Jane pulled her back and then looked at Alexander and Judith awkwardly. “I’m sorry. This child has been spoiled by us. She definitely didn’t mean to be disrespectful to you. She just couldn’t accept it for a while.”

Judith was already in tears.

The more Yana acted this way, the guiltier she felt.

It was her.

The child had sensed their initial doubt, and that must have hurt her deeply.

She didn’t expect the child to be so sensitive that she could sense it.

How aggrieved must she be to say that she didn’t want her biological parents?

Judith, wiping away her tears, said softly, “How can we blame her? We hurt her feelings.”

She then cautiously looked at Yana. “Your name is Yana, right?”

Yana just snorted and ignored her.

In her heart, Yana was also somewhat apprehensive.

After all, they were the King and Queen. She did not know if her performance would infuriate them.

But the Miller family had discussed this approach extensively, believing that Yana’s defiance would dispel their suspicions.

They rehearsed for a long time for this play. At present, it seemed that the effect was not bad.

The prouder Yana was, the guiltier Alexander and Judith felt.

“Mum! What lineage, what changing names! I don’t agree,” Yana said, visibly upset.

Jane patted her hand. “Alright, alright, don’t be stubborn.”

“It’s okay, if Yana doesn’t want to change her name, she doesn’t have to,” Alexander said.

As soon as he said that.

The hearts of the Miller family members skipped a beat.

What was going on!

Carl worried they might have overacted and angered Alexander.

Not changing her last name to Nicholas, what kind of Nicholas family member was that?

“My wife’s maiden name is also Miller. So, Yana can keep the Miller surname,” Alexander said, looking at Yana. “It’s all minor details as long as Yana is happy.”

Judith nodded in agreement.

Carl relaxed a little at this.

He said with a smile, “These matters, you can decide on your own.”

Judith’s gaze was fixed on Yana, unable to look away.

Alexander still maintained some composure.

He asked, “Mr. Miller, you briefly mentioned over the phone how you found Yana. Could you please tell us the details now? And the bracelet, may we see it?”

Yana, instead of feigning anger this time, sat quietly.

After all, this part was inevitable.

Emergency calls only The Nicholas family wouldn’t just believe them without any evidence.

“Of course,” Carl hurriedly responded. “After I called you, I’ve been keeping the bracelet with me.”

He carefully took out a piece of silk cloth and handed it to Judith.

“Mrs. Nicholas, please take a look.”

Judith’s hands trembled nervously.

Alexander held her hand gently.

The couple held their breath and lifted the silk cloth little by little.

Underneath lay a crudely made silver bracelet.

As soon as Judith saw it, the tears she had just managed to stop, fell again.

He this bracelet var this one,” she said, crying.

However, in Tonico, there’s a tradition.

When children were born, they would put a silver bracelet beside their heads, which could protect them from all kinds of poisons.

Despite the tough circumstances, she had managed to save enough for this silver bracelet.

It was nothing compared to the jewelry she owned now.

But this bracelet contained her pure love for her child.

Judith picked up the bracelet, trembling, and gently stroked the simple patterns on it.

Looking at this bracelet, she felt as if she was transported back to the moment she first saw her daughter.

She was small.

Her skin was still wrinkled.

10:04 Eason even complained about how ugly his sister was.

Back then, she playfully scolded Eason.

At that time, she didn’t expect that it was the last time she had seen her daughter in more than twenty years.
