A rare smile appeared on Fabian’s face, but it quickly faded. He wondered, ‘If Elysia is my sister, then who was the child that died all those years ago?”

“What’s wrong?” Javier noticed Fabian’s furrowed brow and couldn’t help but ask.

Fabian replied, “Nothing, let’s go home first.”

Back at the Evans residence, Edward was sitting on the living room sofa, holding a newspaper.

Fabian walked straight to him and sat down on one side of the sofa, his tone serious. “Dad, there’s something we need to talk to you about.”

Edward put down his newspaper, his expression as serious as always. “What is it?”

Fabian said, “Let’s discuss this in the study.”

Although Edward didn’t know what Fabian wanted to talk about, he recognized from Fabian’s demeanor that it wasn’t a trivial matter. He nodded and proceeded to the study.

The three of them sat in the study. After Fabian briefly explained the situation, Edward raised an eyebrow, looking incredulous.

“Are you saying that child is still alive?”

Fabian replied, “Yes. When I first saw her, I had my suspicions. I sent my assistant to investigate and found out she lived in the countryside for many years.

“Later, I took her hair for a DNA test, which confirmed her identity as undoubtedly our family.”

Fabian didn’t tell the whole story. According to the assistant’s findings, Elysia had dropped out of school before finishing elementary school. However, Fabian felt that things were not so simple.

For one thing, she was the Owner of Arcanum House–a significant position. Such a person couldn’t possibly lack proper education.

The only reasonable explanation was that the assistant hadn’t uncovered her true information. Not uncovering it meant she was far more exceptional than he had imagined.

But such an outstanding person must have endured unimaginable hardships to get there.

Although the Evans family was known for their strong genes, seeing his sister excel so much filled Fabian with a mix of pride and heartache.

The Evans family’s little princess was supposed to grow up without worries, pampered and sheltered, yet she had been lost to them for so many years and must have endured great hardships.

He didn’t know the specifics, but imagining life in the countryside gave him some idea.

Edward’s expression was grim. He thought, ‘My daughter has been living in the countryside all this time? Eighteen years— what kind of life did she have? What on earth happened?‘

“Dad, do we have any enemies?” Fabian asked.

Edward shook his head. “No, our family has always prioritized harmony and has never made any enemies, let alone mortal ones.”

Chapter 181 They pondered, “Then what could explain all this? A mix–up?

‘Unless the baby was switched at birth in the nursery. Because by the time she left the nursery, the baby was already declared deceased.‘

These questions kept circling in their minds, unanswered and perplexing.

Edward rubbed his temples and spoke with gravity, “Tomorrow, bring your sister home.

He thought, ‘If Quinita knew her daughter was still alive, it would make her so happy. Perhaps she’d recover quickly!

Fabian nodded in agreement; he shared the same hope.

Sivro.

Alyce waited near the Rosewood residence, flanked by a group of guards dressed in black. A black sedan approached from the distance and came to a smooth stop in front of them.

Elysia stepped out of the car, having changed her outfit. She was now wearing a black leather jacket and tight black jeans, her hair cascading down to her waist, giving her an air of dangerous allure.

With her hands in her pockets, she glanced at the group of bodyguards behind her before her gaze fell back on Alyce.

“Everyone’s here?”

Alyce responded, “Rest assured, Boss.”

“Good.” Elysia’s lips curved into a smirk. She thought, ‘I wonder if Scott will like the gift I’ve prepared for the Rosewood family. If not, no matter–I have other surprises in store.

Bending slightly, she slid into the back seat of the car and closed the door.

Seeing this, the group of bodyguards moved in unison, opening their car doors and getting in.

The cars started up, one after another, finally stopping in front of the Rosewood residence. They parked in a neat row, creating an imposing sight.

The black–clad bodyguards got out of the cars and lined up on either side. Only then did Elysia step out, Yuna by her side as they entered the Rosewood residence.

As soon as they walked in, a throw pillow came flying toward her. Yuna immediately stepped in front of her and caught the pillow.

Scott stood there, visibly angry. He glared at Elysia and shouted, “You’ve got the nerve to come back? Where were you last night?

“You’re picking up all the bad habits. Now you’re even daring to spend the night outside. You’ve really outdone yourse After berating her, his gaze shifted to Yuna. He was about to hurl insults at her too but suddenly found her face familiar, as if he’d seen her somewhere before but couldn’t place it.

Yuna’s eyes radiated a dangerous intent that made Scott shiver and swallow back his words.

In the past, even if she was acting, Elysia would have explained things to Scott. But now, she wouldn’t bother–there was no need to keep up the act anymore.

Since discovering she wasn’t Scott and Bella’s biological daughter, Elysia had been waiting for a reason, a solid justification to 2/3 16:58 Mon, 17 Feb M Chapter 181 exact her revenge on the Rosewood family. Now, she finally had it.

༨ ི, 52%–

Although the full truth hadn’t been uncovered yet, and she didn’t know Scott’s exact role in the events of the past, she was certain it was significant. So, there was no need for pretense anymore.

Bella stood to the side, her tone displeased. “You’re a young girl. Being so irresponsible–what does that say about your reputation?”

+13 Listening to Bella’s hypocritical words, Elysia’s lips curved into a slight smile as she sat on the sofa. “If I ruin my reputation, wouldn’t that just make you happy, Mrs. Rosewood?”

The title “Mrs. Rosewood” completely enraged Scott. “How can you speak to your mother like that?”

Tears streamed down Bella’s face. “How did I end up with a daughter like you?” She looked pitiful and aggrieved.

Internally, Elysia sneered. She thought, ‘She’s quite the actress, but unfortunately for her, I’m great at exposing frauds.‘

“Daughter? I’m not your daughter.”

Hearing this, Scott’s expression changed slightly. He scrutinized Elysia closely, wondering if she knew something. Bella, meanwhile, continued crying, convinced that Elysia was simply trying to upset her.

Scott looked at Elysia and asked, “Elysia, what do you mean by that?”

Elysia scoffed. “What do I mean? Isn’t it true that you know best whether or not I’m your biological daughter, Mr. Rosewood?”
