Tanya stared at Jill. Slowly, she withdrew her arm from Jillâs grip. She looked at Jill coolly and said slowly, âYou know, Iâve always wanted to ask you something since I was a little girl.â
Jill was taken aback. âWhat?â
âAm I really your daughter?â
Tanyaâs eyes were a little red. âHow is it that you can do so much and go so far for Hillary, yet be so cruel to me!â
Jill was stunned. But immediately afterwards she said angrily, âWhat have I ever done to you? Did I raise you and keep you alive so you could bully me later in life? Youâre ungrateful! You need to go to the judge right now and tell him youâve forgiven Hillary! Or elseâ¦â
âOr else what, what are you going to do?â
Tanya stared at her, but there was no fluctuation of emotion in her voice.
Jill was surprised by her reaction. For a moment, she couldnât say anything.
âOr is it that you no longer recognize me as your daughter? Hadnât you already cut ties with me a long time ago?
âOr maybe, you wonât pay for my studies anymore? But have you ever given me money? Or maybe, Wonât you give me food? That worked very well when I was young. Indeed, I was afraid when you locked me in that dark room and gave me no food or water. But Iâm not a four year old anymore! Jill, you canât control me anymore!â
The more Tanya spoke, the colder her voice became. âAs for Hillaryâ¦â Suddenly she bent down, lowered her head and leaned in close to Jillâs ear. âWhy do you think the Smiths didnât bother with damage control and allowed public opinion to reach this state? Precisely so she could get a taste of her own medicine.â
Jill gasped.
When the lawyer had mentioned it, she had thought it was just a coincidence, but from the way it sounded now? It was actually a conspiracy by Tanya and Joel! The more people attacked them, the more guilty they would feel once the truth was revealed.
No wonder they hadnât explained anything all along, AND even assaulted the reporter!!!!
Jillâs eyes widened as she looked at the daughter who now seemed so strange to her. Tanya straightened her back and with an extremely cold stare said, âHe stole my daughter and my boyfriend, and even molested my daughter for no less than five years. Jill, even if you kneel here for the rest of your life, I will never forgive her!
You want me to write a letter of forgiveness, over my dead body!â
She turned around, took Joelâs hand and prepared to leave.
However, the furious Jill suddenly rushed towards her and grabbed her. âWhy did I give birth to a bartard like you! Youâre a bane to the world! I should have killed you when you were a child. I should have starved you to death.â
Neither Tanya nor Joel expected her to jump up and attack them in the living room. She grabbed Tanya by the hair.
She reached out and tried to scratch Tanyaâs cheek, but Joel already had her by the wrist. He pushed her with great force, making her fall to the floor behind her.
Joel looked down at her from above and said, âPlease treat my fiancée with courtesy, Mrs. Jones.â
After speaking, he looked at Mr. Jones, who was in the gallery.
Mr. Jones immediately took the hint. He rushed over and held Jill back.
Only then did Tanya and Joel leave the room.
As soon as they left, they ran into Justin in the parking lot. As the three of them looked at each other, Joel asked, âHowâd it go?â
One of the reasons Justin had to be present today was so he could talk Karl out of any further action at the gallery.
Justin replied, âNo big problems. Karl is an underworld figure and has a very strong aura to match his position. With the truth publicly exposed and the arrest of Hillary Jones, he can no longer say anything. Besides, the Assassinâs Organization probably doesnât want to offend the Smiths and the Hunts either.â Her voice turned cold as she added, âOtherwise, I wouldnât have given him the opportunity to leave the country!â
Joel nodded. âHeâs done enough to return the favor he owes his former mistress. Unless Hillary is his daughter, that guy probably wonât do anything for them anymore.â
His daughter?
The moment he said that, both Justin and Joel suddenly thought of something, and both suddenly looked at Tanya.
The looks from the two leaders made Tanya a little uncomfortable. She looked down at herself and asked, âWhatâs the matter, is there something wrong with my clothes?â However, there was nothing wrong with her! Her clothes were quite suitable for the occasion, and there was nothing dirtyâ¦. While she was wondering that, Joel suddenly asked, âTanya, have you ever wondered who your father is?â
Tanya: ââ¦â
She sighed and replied, âOf course I did. But every time I asked Jill about it, she always said heâs a scumbag and a crook who cheated on her and got her pregnantâ¦â
A crookâ¦.
The word made Justin and Joel suddenly look at each other.
Shortly after, Joel suddenly said, âDonât you think Karl Moore really has⦠a bit of a delinquent air about him?â.
Tanya: â???â
In the room.
Even after everyone else had left, Jill was still lying on the floor and making a scene. âIâm not getting up if you donât save my daughter! Youâre useless! What good is a father like you?â
Mr. Jones was standing over her. Finally, he said, âStay on the floor if thatâs what you want â who cares?â
He left at once.
Karl, who was still in the gallery, looked at Jill who was on the floor. He scratched his head.
His subordinate behind him couldnât help but ask, âBoss, what did you see in her in your younger days?â
Karl also felt a little embarrassed.
He coughed, âMaybe I was blind then.â
The subordinate was speechless.
He got up and walked over to Jill. Just as he was about to say something, Jill stood up on her own and dusted herself off. There was no longer any of the harpy behavior she had just exhibited around her. Instead, she looked at Karl calmly.
Karl coughed, âAre you okay?â
âIâm fine.â
Jill glared at Karl and said, âYou have to help me save my daughter!â
Karl looked down. âYou are not right about this matter. I canât bring myself to do something like that either.â
Wouldnât he be too embarrassed if outsiders found out?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, Jill immediately asked, âDo you know why I chose to ask you instead of Hillaryâs father for help?â
Karl shook his head.
Jill said solemnly, âBecause Hillary is not his daughter, but yours!â.
Karl: â!!!!â
He was astonished. âWhat did you say?â
Jill stretched out her fingers: there were two strands of hair clutched tightly between them. âI pulled Hillaryâs hair out when I made contact with her just now. You can do a DNA test for you and her.â
