“Dad, it's not your era anymore. Just find someone else to be your pawn!”

Anyway, he would not be that pawn.

“What did you say?” Matthew Swantz was furious.

“l said, I won't be a pawn to be manipulated.”

The father and son were on the verge of a full-blown conflict. Derek Swantz stood up again and walked over to Matthew, “Dad, I just remembered there's a contract you need to review. Let's go to the study.”

While talking, Derek pulled Matthew towards the study.

As they reached the stairs, Matthew suddenly stopped and looked back at Adam Swantz, “l give you three days to cut ties with that good-for-nothing, or I'll no longer consider you my son!”

Hearing this, Derek narrowed his eyes.

Adam smirked, “Didn't you stop considering me as your son a long time ago?” “You!”

Matthew pointed at Adam, veins bulging on his face.

Derek dragged him towards the study.

Only when Derek had pulled Matthew into the study did May Marcine walk over to Adam, “Adam, why can't you just please your father like Derek does?” Why create such a rift between father and son, only for Derek to benefit? After speaking, May sighed and continued, “Ruby Anissa is the only daughter of the Legend Clan. If you marry her, even Derek will have to act according to your wishes! ”

Adam looked at May, “Mom, I don't want to rely on a woman to succeed.”

May sighed helplessly, “Adam, actually, this is also a kind of strength. Why can't Ruby see Derek's potential?”

“You're just too stubborn!”

“Mom, have you been happy in all these years since you married dad?” Adam asked.

The seemingly simple question left May at a loss.

Had she been happy?

Over twenty years of marriage to Matthew, having a son together, she didn't even know if she was happy.

But one thing she was sure of.

The man she originally liked was not Matthew.

And Matthew's original love was not her.

They were both just sacrifices for a family alliance.

May had once blamed her own parents.

But now, facing Adam, she had actually uttered the exact same words her parents had said to her.

In the end, she had become the person she hated the most.

Seeing May's silence, Adam continued, “Mom, I'm going to rest. You should rest early too.”

Capital City.

Sylvia Thompson stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes filled with indescribable emotions, not knowing what she was thinking.

Just then, the door was pushed open from outside.

Sylvia turned to look.

It was Aunt Zhang.

“Miss.”

Sylvia nodded, “Please sit.”

This time, Aunt Zhang did not refuse and sat down on the sofa inside the room. She looked up at Sylvia, her eyes a little moist.

Eighteen years had passed.

Time had flown by too fast.

“l have something to tell you.”

“l know,” Sylvia handed Aunt Zhang a cup of coffee, “Have a cup of coffee first.'

Aunt Zhang took the coffee, “Actually, 1 originally wanted to take this secret to my grave. But now, 1 have no choice but to say it.”

Seeing Sylvia's growing humiliation in the Thompson Clan, Aunt Zhang felt heartbroken.

Sylvia didn't speak, just looked at Aunt Zhang, her expression calm.

After a moment, she asked, 'You know where my real family is, right?”

“Who are they?”

Aunt Zhang looked at Sylvia, struggling to speak, “Miss, I am your mother. Your real, biological mother.”

Clang.

The coffee cup in Sylvia's hand fell to the ground.

“What did you say?”

Aunt Zhang was actually her biological mother?

How could that be possible?

She had thought that her biological mother's social status would not be as high as Mary Perryne's.

But how could she have imagined that the servant who had been with her day and night was actually her biological mother?

No.

She didn't believe it.

“Are you lying to me?” Sylvia took several steps backward.

“Miss, whether you believe it or not, it's true. We share a bond that cannot be severed by blood.”

Aunt Zhang looked at Sylvia.

Tears streamed down Sylvia's face.

It turned out that she was just the daughter of a servant.

Why was Viola Thompson born noble, while she could only be the daughter of a servant?

“Get out!” Sylvia pointed to the door, “You are not allowed to tell anyone about this today!'

She couldn't accept Aunt Zhang as her mother.

She had to keep the secret.

Aunt Zhang took a deep breath, “Miss, the moment I handed you over to Mary Perryne, I decided that from then on, you would lead a life superior to others.”

1>Her daughter had to have everything that she couldn't have.

“Then why show up in front of me now?” Sylvia tried to suppress her voice, “Why can't you just take your secret to your grave?”

“Do you know why Viola Thompson was taken aq.,ray by human traffickers back then?”

Hearing this, Sylvia narrowed her eyes, “It was you?”

“l originally just wanted to swap the two of you so that you could replace Viola. But I never expected Viola to have a birthmark on her arm. Reluctantly, I had to take her away.”

At this point, Aunt Zhang paused and continued, “In order to prevent her from being found, I cut off the birthmark on her arm with a knife.”

As the scene from eighteen years ago flashed before Aunt Zhangs eyes, she couldn't help but feel heartache, but she still held no regrets.

As weak as women may be, a mother is strong.

For her daughter to live a better life, she could do anything.

With this revelation, Sylvia felt chilled to the bone.

A birthmark.

So the birthmark on Viola's arm had been cut off by Aunt Zhang.

Then…

Viola Thompson could very possibly be the real Viola.

What should she do now?

Mary Perryne already had a favorable impression of Viola. If only…

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Sylvia looked at Aunt Zhang, her eyes full of resentment, “Since you decided to do this back then, why didn't you just kill her directly? Why leave such a threat?”

Aunt Zhang also regretted her decision back then, her soft-heartedness had brought such a huge threat to her daughter.

But what use was regret now?
