The reporter found himself in an increasingly uncomfortable situation.

He had believed he was on a mission for justice, only to realize he had been played.

Glancing angrily at Jenna, he started to retreat, but Madisyn’s voice stopped him in his tracks.

“Aren’t you going to apologize to them now?” she asked, her tone calm but firm.

The reporter froze, then turned to face the two elderly people.

With no other option, he stepped forward.

“I’m truly sorry.

I never meant to hurt your feelings.

I was deceived as well.

Sherlyn, unimpressed, responded sharply, “As a reporter, it’s your job to uphold your profession’s integrity.

I told you multiple times that Madisyn isn’t my daughter, but you ignored me! Were you just eager for sensational gossip?”

Every word from Sherlyn hit the nail on the head, exposing the reporter’s irresponsibility.

Madisyn, observing quietly, couldn’t help but admire Sherlyn’s keen insight.

Though she appeared simple and straightforward, Sherlyn had a sharp mind for reading people.

The reporter’s face flushed crimson with embarrassment.

“I’m truly sorry.

But Madisyn wasn’t about to let him off so easily.

“If you’re really sorry, shouldn’t you show it by some actions?”

Catching her drift, the reporter quickly responded, “I’ll donate ten thousand dollars to you as a gesture of my apology.

Sherlyn didn’t miss a beat.

“Madisyn has already taken care of the medical expenses.

We don’t need your money.

It would be better if you donated it to charity instead.

“Of course, no problem at all,” the reporter agreed hurriedly.

Unable to bear the situation any longer, the reporter quickly fled the scene with his assistant in tow, leaving Phyllis and Jenna standing awkwardly in the ward.

Jenna’s eyes were red with resentment, while Phyllis wore a conflicted expression.

Suddenly, Phyllis stepped forward and grasped Madisyn’s hand.

“It’s all my fault, Madisyn.

Please, forgive me.

I know I didn’t treat you well when you were a child, but I only wanted you to have a bright future! Why would I intentionally hurt you when I had no idea that you weren’t my daughter at the time?”

Madisyn’s voice was cold as she responded, “But you didn’t treat Jenna like that after she returned.

Phyllis fell silent, unable to replace a response.

Blood ties can be a strange and powerful thing.

When Madisyn was a child, Phyllis constantly pushed her to excel, never sparing a thought for whether Madisyn had time to rest.

But then, with Jenna back, Phyllis had become unusually gentle.

Phyllis, feeling the weight of her past actions, lowered her gaze.

“I’m truly sorry, Madisyn.

But we were once family.

Can you replace it in your heart to forgive us?”

Now, all Phyllis could do was look up at Madisyn, her pride crumbling under the weight of reality.
