If You're Weak, Does That Make You Powerful?

She shouted at Dr. Chauhan, "It's a pity that what you make up will never become the truth. If all of you choose to believe this, then I'll have nothing to say."

Yash Pratap was also extremely angry. "Dad, are you not going to care about how Shivam does things?"

"Yash Pratap, you don't have to use Grandpa to suppress me." Shivam's voice was domineering, and there was a faint sneer on his noble face. "Tinki isn't your daughter. Dr. Chauhan isn't the only evidence. She's the daughter of the famous director and investor, Manish."

"You!" Yash Pratap didn't believe him at all. He was so angry that he pointed at Shivam and couldn't speak.

At this moment, the mask on Tinki's face was completely torn off, and her expression was no longer calm.

"I've already checked. Back then, Shina had numerous affairs with many directors and investors when she was still with you. Many of these men's wives are in the loop about it. It's just that back then, information was not developed, and the scandals didn't spread. As these women were the wives of directors and investors, most of them held back and kept quiet."

"You're spouting nonsense! You're slandering us! You're spouting nonsense!" Yash Pratap's face was ashen.

The mocking smile on Shivam's lips widened slightly. "Do you think I could bribe so many people's wives to commit perjury for me? Why do you think so many wives of directors and investors gave their sincere blessings when you got married? Did they really wish you well? No, they were just glad that someone had finally taken over the reins. At least their husbands could have some peace."

Yash Pratap was so angry that he wanted to hit Shivam.

However, how could Shivam's bodyguards let him get close?

"Yes, you shouldn't be too certain. After all, in order to avoid getting into scandals, Shina encouraged you to go to T Country to develop. The people in T Country don't know her dark history, so naturally, no one told you. Now, more than 20 years have passed. Everyone has seen that you even have children now, so naturally, no one would mention this in public. It's perfect, isn't it?"

Yash Pratap refused to listen because this was impossible.

Shina was kind, gentle, and generous. She was devoted to him. How could she do such a thing?

He would never doubt Shina's sincerity or question his charm.

Yash Pratap had never doubted her, so Shina must have never done such a thing!

He said angrily, "Where's your evidence? Who can't make things up?"

"Hari, give him the evidence!"

Hari quickly took out a pile of photos and placed them in front of Yash Pratap.

After Isha met Director Gagan's wife, Mrs. Gagan, that day, Shivam asked Hari to ask Mrs. Gagan for these photos. Mrs. Gagan helped look for a few other women whose families were destroyed by Shina and gave them all the evidence from back then.

These women actually didn't want to keep the photos from back then. However, what Shina had done was too infuriating, so some of them kept the photos in their hands. They planned to join forces and announce it to the media if Shina committed another crime.

However, Shina had not been in the country all these years. After she returned to the country, she did not do what she did back then. She was also respected by Yash Pratap, so these women did not do anything to her.

Hari took out the photos and placed them in front of Yash Pratap.

In the photos, Shina was with different men. Their positions were intimate. It was obvious what had happened.

Even though they were all old photos, the intimacy in them did not fade with time.

Everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar. They didn't expect Shina, who had always been pure and innocent, to be such a person.

The older generation had a good impression of her, but who knew that she was a spoiled child!

Tinki shook her head. "Dad, this is all Shivam's slander. The photos are all photoshopped. Besides, Mom suffered a lot in the entertainment industry back then. It's hard to guarantee that it wasn't the wives of these directors who were suspicious and deliberately said bad things about her. Think about it. Mom is already in her 50s, but she still maintains her good looks. Those women are already old. How can they not hate Mom?

"Besides, Mom told me many times that you're her true love. She didn't hesitate to quit the film industry to be with you. How could she have done such a thing?"

"Yes, she's impossible!" Yash Pratap said. "Kareena, you gave these photos to your son. How pathetic!"

"Tinki, don't you acknowledge that you're Manish's daughter?" Shivam asked coldly when he saw the hypocritical behavior of the father and daughter.

"Of course. I don't know Manish at all! This is all a scheme you and your mother cooked up!"

Hari took out two things and handed them to Shivam.

Shivam raised the information in his hand and said, "Director Gagan immediately chose you to be the female lead for his newest project and Manish was the one who invested in it."

"What does that prove? I have good acting skills and looks. Can't I play the female lead?"

"Then, the place where Dr. Chauhan's son was held previously was Manish's private villa. Don't you know that?"

Tinki sneered. "This means that I have nothing to do with Manish. I don't know anything about Dr. Chauhan and Manish!"

"Very well." Shivam nodded. "Then, did Manish transfer three billion to your private account to help you rebuild your career? I wonder if your husband would rather believe that you're Manish's daughter or that you're in a relationship with him?"

"You!" Tinki was thunderstruck!

She didn't expect Shivam to find out about this.

As long as she made a mistake, Shivam would uproot everything behind her.

It was just that Shivam hadn't found that flaw before.

Tinki cared a lot about her husband. How could she let him misunderstand that she had a personal relationship with the investor?

If she had to choose, she would rather acknowledge Manish as her father.

Yash Pratap faced the evidence and looked at Tinki's expression. He remembered that after the DNA test at the hospital that day, Tinki had rushed out again.

He seemed to understand something in his heart. He mustered his strength and slapped Tinki's face angrily!

The daughter he had doted on for more than 20 years was actually not his biological daughter! Both Shina and Tinki knew the truth and only he was kept in the dark!

Tinki covered her burning face and said, "My mother had a lot of choices too. Did you think it was easy for her to survive in the entertainment industry back then? She's not like Kareena and Tanu. They had good family backgrounds and people to support them. She could only rely on herself. She's a weak woman. What could she have done?"

"How funny. Is being weak the reason she made a mistake? Does being weak give her the right to destroy other people's families and be a third wheeler?" Rudra mocked. "Ants are so weak. They know how to find food for themselves. Do you think you're in the right if you're weak? Besides, is your mother weak? How did she scheme against her best friends? If she's weak, who's the strong?"

Tinki said angrily, "You're not from the Pratap family. What right do you have to spout nonsense here?"

Rudra smiled and said, "I have the Pratap family's bloodline, after all. Don't you know that my mother is from the Pratap family? You, on the other hand, are a bastard child. How dare you act pitiful here? Oh, I know. Perhaps it's because you're more shameless than others, so you have the cheek to come to the Pratap family and demand to be in the genealogy!"

Tinki wanted to argue, but she found the wrong person. Shivam was used to pointing out the problem directly, but Rudra just said whatever he could. He would scold her until she bled.

"At least I know who my parents are and who I am. I'm not like a certain someone who dares to talk about their identity in public. But it makes sense. You have fans. As long as you act pitiful and post beautiful photos that have been excessively photoshopped, a bunch of people will help you scold your enemies back. I don't have fans. No one will help me clean up the mess. I'm so afraid."

Rudra's words made Tinki lose face, but Yash Pratap was even more embarrassed.

Shina had always been very gentle. She would follow his wishes and serve him well.

He had thought that since she was so devoted to him, he could not let her down. Unexpectedly, her gentleness was for everyone. He was just a joke.

Old Master Pratap was experienced. The scene in front of him had made him understand a lot.

He didn't comment and said, "Butler, please ask Tinki to leave."

"Miss Pratap, this way please," the butler said.

For a moment, Tapas Pratap could not accept this fact. Even so, he could only watch as Tinki left.

......

Yash Pratap glared at Tinki with hatred. The daughter he had carefully nurtured for so many years was not his biological daughter. The feeling of his heart being torn was really too uncomfortable.

At the moment, he still had to protect his son and could not lose his composure. He would deal with Tinki later.

He looked at Tapas Pratap in relief.

When he thought about how each of their children's names, he realized that it was the most authentic evidence of their love for each other. They had practically witnessed the love between them for the past 20 years.

Now, it seemed extremely ironic.

Fortunately, there was still his son.

At least, Shina hadn't lied to him about their son yet.

From the surrounding discussions, it was clear everyone thought of Yash Pratap as a joke. Due to Old Master Pratap's presence, everyone was restraining themselves. However, when Yash Pratap heard the discussions, his face still burned as if he had just slapped himself.

He tried his best to listen and not look at Kareena.

He avoided Shivam's gaze and said to Old Master Pratap, "Dad, I really didn't know about Tinki. I didn't think it would be like this. Forgive me for not noticing and letting someone take advantage of the situation. But no matter what, Tapas is my son. There's no need to change what happened today because of a small episode."

Old Master Pratap said, "Since Tinki doesn't have the Pratap family's bloodline, she's excluded."

"Of course."

Old Master Pratap picked up Tapas Pratap's DNA test report and pondered.

Yash Pratap said, "Dad, do you have any questions? There's nothing wrong with Tapas's report."

He firmly believed this. If Tapas Pratap's DNA was also problematic, Shivam would have pointed it out just now.

Moreover, even if Shina had made a mistake, he was certain she did not make another mistake after following him to T Country. There would be no problem with this son of his.

As long as Shina changed, he could still live with her.

After all, in his eyes, a son was still more important than a daughter. A son could inherit his bloodline.

Thinking of this, Yash Pratap regained some confidence. A daughter was nothing. As long as his son was around, everything would be fine!

"This DNA... Dr. Chauhan, what's the result of this?" Old Master Pratap asked Dr. Chauhan.

Dr. Chauhan said slowly, "I'm sorry, Old Master. I was too focused on my son's situation at that time. Tapas Pratap's report was given to Tinki to handle. I'm really sorry. She had asked for it at the time, so I gave it to her. I thought that since the first report was negative, then the second one would be too... I didn't see Tapas Pratap's DNA report for myself."

Yash Pratap said coldly, "You're really Shivam's lackey! You only speak for him! Can't I recognize my own son? Look at his eyes. If he doesn't look like me, does he look like someone else, then?"

Dr. Chauhan felt guilty and lowered his head in silence. However, this guilt was for the Pratap family and Shivam, not Yash Pratap.

Old Master Pratap said, "Since this report can't be confirmed, today—"

"Dad! Dr. Chauhan said that on purpose to disrupt today's ceremony. Don't be influenced," Yash Pratap said hurriedly.

"Shivam, what do you think?" Old Master Pratap asked.

Shivam said, "I think Tapas Pratap isn't from the Pratap family either."

Yash Pratap said angrily, "Shivam! Is what you think always right?"

"What I think might not be completely right. So, Hari, has it arrived?"

"Yes, Mr. Pratap!"

Yash Pratap and Tapas Pratap looked at each other. Shivam's confident appearance looked so terrifying and hateful in their eyes.

Yash Pratap had never taken his son seriously, but he could not ignore the pressure this son brought.

Soon, a woman in her 60s was brought over. Her face was wrinkled, and the calluses on her fingers and tanned skin showed that she was a working woman.

She looked around, a little afraid.

Hari said, "Tell me about what happened back then."

"Back then, I was a nurse in the maternity and child care center. One year... a child was lost in the hospital. It was the delivery room I was looking after. It was a pregnant woman who came alone to give birth. She had no family to accompany her."
