Chapter 280
Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love
Yana was discharged from the hospital.
Originally, Judith planned to take her directly to the embassy.
But Alexander suddenly spoke up.
He said in a gentle voice, âYana, you are about to leave with us. In the Millerâs residence, you must have many memories and things you want to take with you, right? Why donât we go to the Millerâs residence together and take what needs to be taken?â
Alexanderâs words made sense.
Yana thought to herself, âIf I say I have no memories of the Millerâs residence at all, it would seem too heartless.
âSo, I must go to the Millerâs residence.
âNot only go but also show reluctance.
âOnly then can I display my integrity.â
Thinking of this, Yana said softly, âIâll listen to Dad,â
Alexander suddenly hesitated. âBut you just gave birth. How about we make a phone call and have the servants pack and send everything over?â
Yana, who wanted to show her deep affection, naturally refused decisively. She quickly said, âDad, I want to take a look at the home I have lived in for so long. Itâs possible that this might be my last time going there. Donât worry, the servants will take care of the packing. I donât have to do it myself, so it wonât tire me.
Alexander nodded.
The group of people went to the Millerâs residence.
Yana had difficulty walking, so Judith let her sit on the sofa downstairs and told her If there was anything she needed to arrange, she could just speak up and let the servant take care of it.
âIâll go to your room with the servant.â Alexander stood up. âI also want to see the place where my daughter grew up.â
Alexanderâs words acknowledged her identity, so Yana happily agreed.
Alexander followed the servant and went to Yanaâs room.
Before, he and Judith had been to the Millerâs residence once.
But at that time, the living room had clearly been tidied up, and there wasnât much to see.
Alexander thought that by going to Yanaâs room, he might be able to find something.
In Yanaâs room, the servant was tidying up the things Yana had arranged in an orderly manner.
Alexander calmly looked around.
On Yanaâs dressing table, there was a photo frame with a wedding photo. The two people in the photo were Yana and her husband.
In the photo, Yana smiled brightly as if to prove that she was living a good life.
But Timothyâs eyes were numb and calm, as if he was not entering a marriage but entering hell.
âOh, this, Mrs. Leen specified that it should be kept. The servant walked over and put away the photo.
Alexander smiled and looked elsewhere without saying a word.
He also saw the Miller familyâs family portrait.
There were Carl, Jane, and Yana who was in the middle.
But Susan, Carlâs soâcalled biological daughter, was nowhere to be seen.
Alexander also found a photo album.
He casually flipped through it.
The photos in the album were from a long time ago.
He could even find photos of Yana when she was a child.
But strangely enough, no matter what time the photos were from, if it was a group photo, Susan was always missing.
Alexander quickly flipped through, and he was determined to see what Susan looked like.
But after flipping through the entire album, he only found a back view of Susan.
At that time, the Miller family had already moved to a villa and had servants.
But from the back, Susan was bending over, cleaning.
Yana, dressed in new clothes and wearing new jewelry, was smiling at the camera.
Alexander looked at the cake in front of Yana.
He fell silent for a moment.
That day should have been Yanaâs birthday.
But if he remembered correctly, Susan and Yana should have had the same birthday.
Alexanderâs heart trembled.
In this world, could there really be parents who would cruelly torment their own daughter and suck her blood to give to an adopted child?
This was not a matter of logic.
This couldnât even be explained by basic reason.
Alexander stared at the small figure of Susan in the photo, his eyes slightly reddening.
He had to admit it.
Deep down, he had never been able to accept that Yana was his daughter.
He always remembered that slender figure he had caught a glimpse of.
Now, more and more evidence seemed to point to that fact.
Susan, perhaps, was his daughter.
The Miller family not only tortured her for over twenty years, forcing her to give blood to Yana, but they even tried to find a way to let Yana steal her identity.
All of this was still only speculation.
Alexanderâs heart was increasingly inclined towards this speculation.
He even vaguely felt that this was the truth.
âSir, the room has been tidied up.â The servant finished tidying up the room and looked at Alexanderâs unpleasant expression with some trepidation.
Alexander composed himself and smiled, saying, âI was just flipping through the photo album. Why canât I find Susan in the photos?â
The servant hesitated, unsure of how to answer.
âJust tell the truth,â Alexander said kindly.
The servant pressed her lips, about to speak.
âEverything is packed. Why are you still lingering here? Hurry up and go downstairs!â Jane suddenly walked in.
The servant replied and quickly went downstairs with packed things.
Jane looked at Alexander, trying to please him. âMr. Nicholas, if you have any questions, just ask me.
Susan has always had a strange temper since she was young. Whenever we mentioned taking her photo, she would cry and throw a tantrum, so she is not in any of the family photos.â
âIs that so?â Alexander looked at her meaningfully and didnât expose her, just putting the photo album aside.
Jane thought she had passed the test and couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief, saying, âThe things are almost packed. Shall we go downstairs?â
Alexander nodded without refusing.
He had seen everything he could see.
He probably wouldnât be able to see anything from the rest.
The things Yana wanted had all been packed up and placed in front of her.
Yana held the keys to the villa, tears streaming down her face.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Alexander asked calmly.
Yana wiped her tears and didnât speak.
Alexander asked again, playing along.
âDad, I want to goâto Tonico with you. I probably wonât be able to live in this villa anymore, so I plan to sell it,â Yana said with a face full of grievances.
âAnd then?â Alexander asked.
Yana looked aggrieved. âThe servant just told me that no matter how much we lower the price, no one wants to buy the villa. Someone must be sabotaging it behind the scenes. Is it my sister⦠is she still resentful towards me?â
In her words, Yana had already implicated Susan.
Alexander listened uncomfortably, saying lightly, âI donât know if Susan resents you or not. All I know is that when Ben was in the hospital, he made a phone call and said that no one was allowed to buy your house. So itâs normal that the house canât be sold now.â
In Pennyâs heart, there was originally doubt about who the real princess was.
But now, she suddenly heard Susanâs name.
Combining the conversation before and after, Penny was shocked.
She thought, âSusan turns out to be Yanaâs sister?â
She looked at Yana and suddenly felt a hint of confusion in her heart.

O Penny now knew this person was still a counterfeit, and she just played a game of switch and deceived both her father and mother.
Penny thought to herself, not saying anything.
