"Tell me the truth. What's going on?" Bianca confronted Dorothy. "Are you and Dad hiding something from me?"Dorothy continued to deny it. "No. You can't fall for Anne's trick...""Fine. I'll run a paternity test myself." Bianca headed for the door.Dorothy knew that she would not be able to argue with the results and that everyone would find out about it if she let Bianca run another test. She panicked and shouted, "Fine! You are not Nigel's daughter!"Bianca turned around to stare at her in disbelief. "Who's my father, then?""I...I was raped. Shortly after I married your dad, I was out drinking and on my way home, someone..."Bianca could not stand to think that she could be the daughter of some beggar."Bianca, I'm a victim, too. I didn't want this to happen. When you were admitted to the hospital, your blood type didn't match up and your dad went to look into that. I was too careless, or this wouldn't have come into light.""Who else knows?" Bianca questioned."No one. I
Anne walked over, shaking her head with resignation at how sweet-tongued her children were."Grandma will never get tired of cooking for your mom and you guys. I have endless energy for that!" Sarah patted their heads endearingly.Even if it was exhausting, all her hard work was worth it.The five took their seats for breakfast."Mama, Grandma, can we go see Grandpa today?" Chloe asked."It's been a few days!" Charlie said."We can go on our own as well!" Chris suggested."Sure thing. Why don't you three come with us later?" Anne asked.Anne took the triplets with her to the hospital and checked with the nurse on the latest update regarding Nigel's condition.She was informed that there was no change, but the nurse added, "That pianist came by last night.""Alone?" Anne asked."Yes. She left with her eyes all red. I guess she cried in there," the nurse said.Both Sarah and Anne remained quiet as they did not see any issue with Bianca's visit. After all, Bianca was still Nig
Anne went to wrap her arms around Sarah dazedly."Anne, your dad is going to be fine. It's not possible..." Sarah was at the brinks of collapsing.With tears in her eyes, Anne turned to look at Kathryn. "Go back inside. Keep trying. He will survive! I don't accept this! He was fine, so how could this happen out of the blue? I thought you are all working to bring him back? What are those experts doing?!"The sound of footsteps approached from behind them and Anthony appeared with an intimidating look on his face. "Explain yourself!"Kathryn lowered her face and said, "Mr. Faye's heart failed and he's just passed away. When a person lays in bed for too long, sometimes their hearts just give out."It was a cruel truth for the family. They had all thought that there was still hope, only for yet another accident to take that away from them.They all went inside to see Nigel and he laid on the bed, no longer breathing.Anne could not believe that her father was gone just like that. Sh
Dorothy darted inside and shoved Sarah aside roughly.Sarah fell onto the ground and Anne roared, "What are you doing?! Mom, are you alright?""She should just die!" Dorothy pointed at Sarah viciously. "You just have to stay by Nigel's side, do you? How could this happen? Tell the truth. What did you do to him while we were not around?!"Bianca stilled behind Dorothy."What can my mom do? Dad is important to her!" Anne pulled Sarah up from the ground and argued."Who knows if she is pretending to care?" Dorothy questioned. "Nigel was fine when we were around, and something happened to him on your watch. What did you do?""Mom, stop it. Do you really want to cause a scene in front of Dad?" Bianca stopped her. "I don't think they did this to Dad.""Bianca, you are just too naive and that's why they bully you all the time. Think about it. They have the motive to do this. They are scared that your Dad would wake up and expose them to what they did. That's why they killed him!" Dorot
Every word Bianca said was a false accusation directed at Anne.Anne turned to frown at Bianca and thought to herself, 'When exactly have I mentioned anything about marrying Anthony?'She turned to study Anthony's expressionless face and wondered if he was going to believe Bianca.Whether he believed Bianca or not, all Anne wanted was the truth to her father's death.They continued to play the surveillance footage and found no abnormality at night until the next day.Sarah and Anne appeared with the triplets, and naturally, everyone heard whatever they said as well.They did not say anything important or bad about Bianca, so Anne did not feel uncomfortable at all.However, a part of their conversation still changed the atmosphere in the room."As if. I can go after anything, but not others' men. Whatever. I don't want to be bothered by that.""That's true. My daughter doesn't need to steal someone else's man. We have so many eligible bachelors after us that we need to take tim
With tears in their eyes, the three little ones obediently knelt and prayed for their Grandpa.Anthony was dressed in black, bowing and quietly leading the prayer. Anne looked at her children kneeling and praying, and tears quickly welled in her eyes, flowing down her cheeks. "Mama, don't be sad. You're going to hurt your eyes from all the crying." Chloe wiped away Anne's tears."If Grandpa knows, he'll feel really bad," Charlie said. "Mama, we'll be with you…" Chris was sad. Anne saw they were trying hard to hold back their tears, and she gently caressed their head, saying, "Don't worry. I'll stay strong."Dorothy and Bianca, who were kneeling opposite them, looked at the scene of the family of five in disgust. Was it not because she had the triplets? Otherwise, what would she be? Anthony would not even spare her a glance! However, Anthony had been focused on Anne since he came in, and everyone else had become the background! At this time, there was another comm
"Mama, do we call him Great-Grandpa?" Chloe asked."That's right," Anne admitted. The triplets noticed that Anne did not ask them to call Cory 'Great-Grandpa', but they did not ask more after carefully observing her facial expression. "Look after the children. I'm going back to check on my mom." Anne said to Anthony. Then, she told the triplets about the plan, letting them follow their father. The three little ones were quite obedient and followed Anthony without making a fuss.Anne walked out of the funeral parlor. The sun was not dazzling outside, but she felt dizzy. She knew it was because she was extremely sad over Nigel's death and had been crying all day. Nonetheless, how could she be in good spirits?Anne could not help but wonder if she and Sarah would feel even worse once she returned to visit Sarah. Before Anne reached the car, she suddenly felt lighter. Someone had carried her. However, Anne did not even have the energy to resist, and she was already in the car be
"Bianca and Dorothy are there. Even Grandpa and Uncle came. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not," Anne said."They came? I wonder what they're here for. When Nigel was alive, they never visited. Yet after he passed away, they're eagerly…" Sarah started sobbing."Mom, please take care of your health. I lost Dad, so I can't lose you too." Anne was really worried about Sarah. Sarah knew that truth well, but she was so depressed that she could not care less about her own health. "Could it be that everything's a lie? Maybe your dad is just hiding somewhere, and he's not actually dead?" Sarah started letting her imagination run wild. "I hope so too, but Dad was murdered. Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely catch the murderer."Sarah nodded, looking sad."Do you want to visit Dad?" Anne asked.Sarah shook her head. "Forget it. Let him rest in peace. I can't do anything for him anyway."Anne did not say anything more. After having a quick meal with Sarah, she left. Anne was ver
