Chapter 175
Andrew recounted to Madelyn everything he had extracted from Josiah,
The more Madelyn heard, the more shocked she became.
âSo you mean Iâm really not Caleb and Ameliaâs biological daughter?â
Andrew nodded solemnly.
âItâs confirmed now. Youâre not theirs.â
âAnd theyâ¦â
I
âCaleb only found out five years ago. As far as I know, heâs the only one in the Garcia family aware of this fact.â
Madelynâs breathing grew more labored at this revelation.
So, Caleb had known all along that she wasnât his biological daughter. Over the years, he shamelessly exploitedâher for his gain without any gratitude.
She couldnât believe their actions and behavior over all these years.
Madelyn asked, âDo Amelia and Elena know about this?â
Andrew replied, âAnyone who knew at the time was sworn to secrecy by him.â
Madelyn nodded. Her disgust toward Caleb had now reached its peak.
Andrew wanted to be absolutely certain before telling Madelyn the truth, so he also checked the Garcia familyâs genetic database. He confirmed that the entire Garcia family had different blood types from hers. At this point, there was hardly any need for a paternity test.
âThis is just despicable!â
Madelyn was at a loss for words to describe Caleb. Those words alone didnât seem enough.
Her heart raced with anger.
âIs this why youâve been retaliating against them?â
She had to admit that Andrewâs retaliation was perfectly timed.
As soon as she learned the truth, the Garcia family began to experience severe repercussions. It wasnât exactly a devastating blow. After all, Andrew was simply reclaiming everything the Miller family had previously given away.
But even such moves made the Garcia family feel unprecedented devastation.
Amelia probably saw that the Garcia family was at its lowest point, which is why she asked Caleb for a
divorce.
Andrew gently tucked Madelynâs messy hair behind her ear and softly asked, âAre you okay, darling?â Madelyn shook her head.
âIâm not upset. On the contrary, I feel relieved.â
When she witnessed Caleb and Ameliaâs behavior before, she would wish that she had no connection to them. Just the thought of sharing their blood nauseated her.

Although their actions still disgusted her, she felt an immense sense of relief from discovering that they werenât her biological parents.
Andrew held her close and said, âRowan suggested we look for your biological parents. What do you
think?â
Although Andrew had refused Rowanâs suggestion in the conference room earlier, he still wanted to know Madelynâs true feelings.
When Madelyn heard âbiological parentsâ, she thought about how Amelia had treated her so poorly when she returned to the Garcia family at the age of ten. Ameliaâs attitude had been cold and unkind despite being oblivious to Madelynâs true identity.
Even if they believed she was their biological daughter at the time, their attitude was dreadful.
Now, with Andrew asking if she wanted to find her biological parents, she instinctively shook her head.
âNo! I donât need them.â
She contemplated what would happen if the people they found were even worse than Calen and Amelia.
Clearly, after more than ten years with the Garcias, Madelyn had developed a natural aversion to biological ties.
Hearing her response, Andrew smiled dotingly.
âYes. We are your family now.â
By âweâ, he meant himself and the entire Miller family.
With tears in her eyes, Madelyn nodded. She had to admit that during her time with the Millers, even though everyone knew she was adopted, they treated her exceptionally well.
Some familial bonds werenât created by blood. Sometimes, they offered more than blood ever could.
Andrew had a meeting that afternoon. Meanwhile, Madelyn received several calls from the Garcia family. It was clear that Andrewâs retraction not only affected Caleb and Amelia but also extended to the Garcia
residence.
Victoriaâs voice sounded furious over the phone.
âYou ungrateful brat! Itâs bad enough you want to reclaim the Equilwood Village project from your Uncle Matthew, but now you also want to take back the two estates under my name?â
Madelyn was confused by her words. The mention of âestatesâ puzzled her.
