Chapter 32 The Truth

Instead of answering her question, Francesca stared intently at Karen and asked, “Are you still going to claim that you don’t know Sasha?”

Karen suddenly burst out crying.

“She really was my friend, but she passed away years ago. That was why I didn’t think of her right away.” Karen looked at Francesca tearfully. “I don’t know what others have told you, but you truly are my daughter.”

“I was there when your mother gave birth to you! She barely made it through. How dare you treat her like this!”

In a fit of rage, Chandler picked up the phone from the table and hurled it across the room.

Francesca didn’t expect him to make such a move. By the time she

realized what was going on, Yoel had already embraced her, protecting her in his arms.

Francesca quickly went to check on Yoel. “Are you all right? Where did you get hit?”

“I got hit in the back.” Yoel waved his hand. “But I’m fine.”

He gently patted Francesca’s back to comfort her, then turned his head to look at Chandler.

Although he didn’t say a word, it was clear to everyone that he was angry.

The phone landed on his back, but Yoel could still feel the immense force Chandler had used just now. If it had landed on Francesca’s face…

He quickly stepped forward, grabbing Chandler’s collar with one hand as

Chandler was startled by the formidable presence of Yoel standing betore him.

Given Colton’s previous indifference toward Francesca, they had assumed that Yoel would act similarly. However, they were unprepared for the intensity of his anger when a phone came perilously close to hitting her.

Does Yoel really love her?

“It was a mistake on my part,” Chandler hurriedly apologized. “Francesca believed the slander and actually thought she isn’t our daughter. Isn’t that too absurd?”

Francesca looked coldly at Chandler, her eyes filled with disdain. “After all these years, you still haven’t made any progress. I’m surprised.”

In the past, when they compelled her to wed Colton, they employed identical strategies. They resorted to any means necessary, employing both harsh and ruthless methods, showing a complete lack of moral boundaries.

“You scoundrel!”

Furious, Chandler took two steps forward, only to be stopped squarely by Yoel.

Francesca didn’t feel like explaining herself, so she threw out another stack of documents. “My birthday falls on the twenty–fifth of November, but there were no hospital records of Karen giving birth that day. Did she give birth to me at home?”

Karen looked at the medical records. She opened her mouth but couldn’t replace the words to speak.

“Not only that, but she also had no records of any obstetrics and gynecology visits in the previous year. On the contrary, there were many. video footages of her accompanying Sasha for prenatal checkups, Would you like to see the footage?”

The more Francesca spoke, the paler Karen’s face became.

Shock and fear filled Chandler’s eyes as the realization hit them. The past incident had unfolded so abruptly that their attention had been solely devoted to handling the immediate concerns at hand, causing them to completely overlook the existence of the hospital records.

He composed himself and let out a deep sigh. “Since you already know, I won’t hide it from you any longer. You are indeed not our biological daughter.”

Miranda and Karen simultaneously gasped in surprise.

“When you were just born, your mother passed away in an accident. It happened so suddenly that she only had. time to entrust you to us before leaving this world. We were worried that you would be heartbroken to learn about this as an adult, so we decided to keep this a secret from you.”

Chandler sighed deeply, his eyes filled with sorrow and compassion. “Even so, our feelings for you have never been fake. Don’t you understand that?”

Francesca looked at him quietly for a moment, then she sneered, “Is it really that simple?”

She initially wanted to see what kind of reaction the Beckman family would have when she exposed the truth. However now, halfway through, she had lost her interest.

“Back then, when Sasha passed away unexpectedly, he didn’t just entrust me to you but also left behind a substantial inheritance. However, this inheritance fell into your hands and became the initial capital for

Beckman Group’s development. You were determined never to tell me the truth.”

Without any hesitation, Francesca exposed them harshly.

“Sasha likely never imagined that her closest friend, the one she entrusted her child to on her deathbed, would be consumed by greed and completely disregard her memory. Not only did she crase Sasha’s presence from our lives, but she also made numerous attempts to send Sasha’s daughter to an orphanage, though she was unsuccessful in her sinister endeavors.”

During Francesca’s youth, she frequently pondered why her mother displayed starkly contrasting attitudes toward her and her younger sister. All it took was a sweet smile from her sister to elicit a shower of affection. from their mother. However, no matter how diligently Francesca endeavored, she seldom received any form of encouragement.

Turns out this is the truth.

On her deathbed, Sasha placed her complete trust in Karen and entrusted her child to Karen. She had no idea that things would turn out this way.

As her words fell, the entire living room was plunged into silence.

Miranda looked at her parents in shock. Francesca is actually not their biological child?

In the blink of an eye, Chandler and Karen’s actions suddenly made sense.

Chandler reacted extremely quickly, slapping Karen’s face with a resounding smack.

“When did you plan to send her to the orphanage?” Chandler was genuinely furious. He never imagined that his wife could be so foolish as to plan to send Francesca to an orphanage.

After what she did, she ended up getting caught!

Seeing the couple bickering and turning against each other, Francescal remained unfazed without even a ripple of emotion.

Miranda, who was standing aside, couldn’t help but speak up. “Is it really necessary for you to act like this? Even if you’re not their biological child, haven’t they raised you well? Don’t you know how to be grateful?”

Francesca sneered at Miranda and said, “Grateful? Do you know that before adopting me, your parents were just ordinary employees? It was only after they received the inheritance left by Sasha that the Beckman family had the funds to start their own business. Later, when the Beckman family mismanaged their business, they sold me to the Zeller family in exchange for more funds.”

She let out an icy snort. “Will you be grateful if you were in my shoes?”

Miranda was momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, Karen also came to her senses. She quickly went to Francesca and, to everyone’s surprise, fell to her knees with a thud.

“Back then, I was flustered and felt like I couldn’t take care of a child properly. That was why I made the wrong choice. I’ve regretted it ever since, and I haven’t done anything to hurt you after that! What do I have to do for you to forgive me? Should I bow down to you?”

Upon seeing her mother’s behavior, Miranda was infuriated.

She was nearly abandoned at the orphanage! That’s all. Mom’s plan didn’t succeed in the end! How dare she treat Mom this way!

Miranda let out a scream, wanting to rush forward and pull Francesca away. However, Chandler stopped her.

His face darkened as he stared intently at Miranda. “Your mother made a mistake. She should apologize to your sister until your sister is willing to forgive her.”

Miranda looked at Chandler in disbelief. How could he say that?

Francesca had already stepped away from Karen as her expression became increasingly unpleasant.

“Do you want me to die?” Karen looked at Francesca incredulously. I knelt down in front of her. Is this not enought

Francesca remained silent with her lips pursed. Upon seeing her face, which bore a striking resemblance to Sasha’s, Karen suddenly went mad.
