Chapter 50 - 50: Not the Father’s Daughter?
Iris Carter turned her slender and tall figure, facing Emily Walker. Although a smile was on her lips, the words that followed were deeply sarcastic.
“You’ve lived in the Carter family for 20 years. Hasn’t Father ever told you about your background?”
Emily was puzzled, staring at Iris in blank confusion, “What?”
“You’re not Father’s daughter at all. Do you think Father would leave his property to a daughter with no blood relationship to him?” Iris raised a mocking smile, thinking that the lie she had just thought of was absolutely seamless.
Because Father was already dead, and even if Emily didn’t believe it, there was no way to prove otherwise. She and her mother could easily hold on to everything in the Carter family.
Emily didn’t believe Iris’s words, thinking they were like a tall tale.
If anyone had no blood relationship, it should be Iris. She was Father’s real daughter, and the truth couldn’t be false!
“Is that what you said to your lawyer back then? Creating a fake identity for me and then trying to seize Father’s property with a gun?”
“Believe it or not, do you remember your mandarin duck stone?” Iris was not afraid that Emily wouldn’t believe her, for the only person in this world who could prove her identity was already dead. As long as she made up the story carefully, Emily would have no choice but to doubt her own identity!
“Once, I accidentally overheard mv mother asking Father why only you had the mandarin duck stone, but Wallace and I didn’t. You know what I heard later?” She gazed at the gradually dulling face of Emily.
“Father said that the mandarin duck stone was left by her parents. When they found you, the mandarin duck stone was already on you. Do you know what this means?”
Listening to Iris’s words, Emily was in shock, but she couldn’t accept that she wasn’t the biological daughter of her parents.
“No way! My father said that when my mother found the mandarin duck stone at the seaside back then, it was shortly after I was born. That’s why my mother put the mandarin duck stone on me because of my name!” Emily said, somewhat agitated.
She could bear anything, but the one thing she couldn’t tolerate was someone saying she wasn’t her parents’ real daughter!
However, Iris sneered, looking at her and said, “You believe that? Father hid your identity to avoid making you sad. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my mother. Father only told her about this matter.”
At that moment, Emily turned her gaze to Elia Parker, who was listening with a puzzled expression on her face.
While Emily had her eyes turned away, Iris once again gave her mother a
meaningful look.
As soon as her daughter’s eyes caught her attention, the dazed Elia Parker immediately came back to her senses and feigned disapproval, “Leanne, didn’t I forbid you to keep this matter a secret!?”
“What’s there to keep secret at this point? Father is already gone, and it doesn’t really matter if she knows.” Iris crossed her arms and spoke nonchalantly.
Emily glanced back and forth between the two, her face falling down in melancholy as if pondering something.. Following that, she quickly raised her head, looking at the mother and daughter duo, laughing lightly, “Heh, do you think I would believe the fabricated background you’ve made up? If I truly wasn’t Father’s biological daughter, why wouldn’t Father tell me himself? If he wanted to hide it, why would he tell you?”
