John's words had an interrogative tone, aggressive and forceful.Judy looked at John in surprise but didn't think much of it, assuming that John was just defending her.Lillian was at a loss for words when asked.John's gaze was fixed on Lillian as he continued to press: "If your own daughter was right in front of you, could you really bear to not acknowledge her?"Lillian felt uneasy under his intense scrutiny, thinking subconsciously of Amelia.With her own daughter right before her, she had to be ruthless and could only let Amelia call her aunt.Lillian was thinking of Amelia, while John was referring to Judy. Although they were not on the same wavelength, Lillian's reaction and facial expressions matched the situation.Seeing Lillian lost in thought and looking guilty, John became even more certain of his guess that Lillian was Judy's biological mother.Judy sensed the tension and felt strange about John's strong emotions towards Lillian during their first meeting.What kind of st
John turned around and saw Judy, which startled him: "Judy, why you come out?""I noticed you seemed upset, so I came out." Judy raised her eyebrows, "Truthfully, do you know something?"Lillian had just left, and John was about to as well, which definitely seemed suspicious.John scratched his head. In front of Judy, he couldn't lie, but he also didn't want to upset her, so he spoke ambiguously: "I just heard that when I went to see Dean Bob, he mentioned Lillian had visited him.""Does Lillian know Bob?" Judy was curious, "Lillian isn't married, yet she has a daughter. I didn't expect her to be quite the player. Do you know who her daughter is?""I don't know." John stammered, "How would I know, Judy? I have things to do, I'm leaving now."Since Lillian didn't acknowledge Judy, John naturally didn't dare to speak out of turn.John left in a hurry, and Judy didn't have the chance to press further.She was still curious, wondering who Lillian's daughter was....A few days laterOn th
Judy also found it strange that if Lillian really had a daughter, there would be no reason to hide it.Even if Lillian was a single mother, no one would have anything to say about it, as she had the ability to support her child.The fact that even Lewis didn't know about this made it even more peculiar.Judy said, "John told me that Lillian has a daughter. Lillian should have visited the orphanage I was at before. She went there to find her daughter.""If you're curious, I'll ask my mom later," Lewis said, "or I can ask Perona.""I was just curious."...The next day.Judy went to visit John at the hospital after having breakfast.When Judy arrived, Susan was taking care of John in the ward."Judy, you're here," Susan smiled and said, "I heard John was hospitalized, so I took a leave and I can take care of him here."John felt a bit embarrassed. He didn't want Susan to take care of him, but Susan said she needed to repay her debts of gratitude.Since Susan had already taken leave, Joh
Amelia had heard this kind of talk from Lillian before, and it wasn't the first time.Ever since Lillian returned from Europe, she had urged Amelia more than once to take over the company. Amelia had become numb and annoyed from hearing it so often.Amelia looked up at Lillian with drunken, drowsy eyes: "Aunt, even if my mom likes Judy, it's impossible for her to give Meike Group to Judy, you're really overthinking it. Stop trying to deceive me with this talk. It's not just you who's annoyed, I am too."Lillian could no longer hold back and said, "Amelia, listen to me carefully, you are not your mother's biological child. If you don't live up to expectations, once your mom finds out you're not her own, you'll be kicked out."Was Amelia really not Perona's biological child?This was some explosive news.Ellie quickly took out her phone and secretly recorded it.Amelia didn't take Lillian's words seriously and said with a smile, "Aunt, you're lying to me again. How could I not be my mom
Amelia was bluffed.Lillian had no husband, no children, and Perona's daughter had gone missing right after birth.So, it was quite reasonable for Lillian to find her and bring her back.If she didn't cooperate, Lillian could expose her identity and simply find another girl, claiming she was Perona's daughter.Amelia was at a loss, staring at Lillian for a long time, then she cried, "I'll listen to you, I'll always listen to you in the future, please don't tell my mom."She couldn't afford to lose her current identity.Seeing Amelia become obedient, Lillian heaved a sigh of relief: "Starting tomorrow, go to the company every day to learn. If you don't make progress, don't blame me for turning my back on you and replacing you."In order to pressure Amelia into growing up, Lillian did not acknowledge her; only when Amelia felt she had no support would she truly fight and strive for herself."I'll go to the company, and I'll study hard," Amelia promised."Come back with me," Lillian said
Lillian didn't stop Amelia and pretended she hadn't seen anything.Only after taking a paternity test would Amelia believe it, and that would be more conducive to the plan.Lillian had to push Amelia onto the position of heir before Perona discovered Judy's identity.......At the hospital,Judy came to visit John again.When she arrived at the hospital, she didn't see Susan and casually asked, "Where's Susan?"John replied, "She went out a while ago, probably to buy something, or something like that, I didn't ask."Judy sat down and said, "Has your mom come again after her last visit? They haven't caused any trouble, have they?"John, who was usually quiet and reserved, took a while to answer: "I rented a house for my mom and Zoey to stay in."Judy didn't know what to say at that moment.With Scarlett and Zoey settled, would Aaron and Andrew also insist on staying?All the suffering they had endured would be in vain, and everything they had done would be wasted.Afraid that Judy woul
Judy didn't stay either, as she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her temper and might cause an unpleasant scene.Seeing Judy about to leave, John quickly called out, "Judy, I...""It's your choice," Judy said. "Take care of yourself and heal well."With that, Judy left.Susan commented, "Judy used to not be such a cold-hearted person, but now she seems to have no sympathy at all."Before, Susan also despised Aaron and his group, but now she stood by John's side.After the rift caused by that incident, Susan was very clear that Judy would always be on guard against her and that things would never go back to the way they were before.She could only look for opportunities through John.John said, "Judy has done so much for me, and it's my fault for not being worthy.""Judy will understand," Susan comforted. "Once you're discharged, just buy some gifts and apologize. Judy won't really be mad at you.""Susan, can you call the doctor for me? I want to be discharged today," John di
Susan hurried away and called Amelia back: "The opportunity has come. Can you get a different kind of medicine? This granule form is not very convenient. Something better would be a powder or liquid. As soon as possible, I need it tonight..."After making the call, Amelia immediately took action.At this moment, Judy was unaware of what was about to happen.That night, she had a nightmare that left her in a cold sweat.Judy woke up abruptly, and Lewis was right beside her: "Judy, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"Judy nodded.Seeing the cold sweat on her forehead, Lewis quickly got her some tissues and poured her a glass of water.Judy took a sip of water to calm herself down and touched her stomach: "I just dreamed that something happened to the baby. The baby asked me to save him; he was so uncomfortable, and then there was a lot of blood."She dared not recall the dream, still feeling shaken.Lewis held her shoulder and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid. I'm here. It's
