Steen looked taken aback, but he didn't say anything and just took his phone out of his jacket pocket, then he opened the gallery app on his phone. His thumb moved swiftly across the screen to find something, and after finding what he wanted, he used his index finger and thumb to zoom in on the image displayed on the screen, and he was once again dumbfounded when he finally understood the meaning behind Vivian's words. After finding his mother's treasure box, Steen focused more on the diary and phone his mother left behind, and because of that, he paid little attention to the photographs left by the woman who gave birth to him years ago. He thought those photos were only treasured by his mother and wouldn't be able to provide him with any information, and that was why he ignored them and didn't look at them carefully unlike how Vivian did when she looked at the photos one by one with extra attention. Finally, Vivian found something from one of the photo

Vivian had told Elena that she was not her mother's real daughter. Her mother only found her in a car accident two decades ago, and because she wouldn't let her go, she started raising her as her own child. Vivian had told Elena that their parents had died in the accident, and until now she still didn't know their identities because Steen also didn't know the woman who posed alone with his mother in front of the camera. Vivian also told Elena that her mother had hidden everything very neatly until now. If it weren't for the photo left by Patricia Dahl, she might not have known the truth until now. Vivian had revealed everything in front of Elena, but the girl sitting across from her still didn't give a response. Elena just looked blank, and it was clear she was shocked by the story she had just told. Sure enough, it was hard for Elena to believe everything, right? “Perhaps this truth will be bitter for you, but I have to tell you tha

Lily's eyes once again widened in shock after hearing Vivian's cold command. Not because Vivian dared to order her like that, but because of the order that had just left the girl's lips. "What... what are you talking about?" Nervously, Lily responded to Vivian. “I am Elena's mother, and I never abandoned her! How can you carelessly say that I dumped her twenty years ago?" Lily tried to deny the accusation, but she looked really nervous at this time. Cold sweat had even started to coat her forehead, and the three people sitting with her in the living room could definitely see how she was trying to hide something. "Vivian didn't speak carelessly," Steen responded to the curly woman, and before he continued his words, he took something out of his jacket pocket before shoving it to where Lily was sitting. “Look at the woman in the photo, the one who has two toddlers in her lap, and tell me whether or not that woman is you.” It was a photo found in

Steen never liked driving a car when someone else was in it. He would think that he was no different from a driver if there were other people in the car while he was driving, and that was why he always hated the idea of driving when he wasn't the only one in the car. That was also the reason he initially didn't want Vivian to come with him in his car to go to her college for the first time a few months ago. Vivian couldn't drive, and that was why Steen had to be the one to drive the car even if he didn't want to. But that was what he had thought in the past, and today he no longer felt the same way even though he was the one driving the car when some people were also in the vehicle. Sitting in the passenger seat next to him was Vivian, while sitting in the back seat was Elena. The black car had just left the Vester residence after Steen warned Lily one last time. It was not an empty warning because he had reported Lily's crime to the police, and that wa

"So, you're going to use Lancrose as your last name from now on?" Steen broke the silence in the car while continuing to drive the black sedan. Today, he wasn't driving his sports car, and he chose to drive his sedan parked in the company parking lot. That was why Elena was able to sit in the back seat earlier before the girl returned to the Dahl mansion, but now there were only Steen and Vivian in the front seat of the car. “Yes,” without the slightest hesitation, Vivian replied. "I have no intention of returning to the Lancrose family as my parents are no longer around, but I still want to use their last name to respect them." Vivian's reply came very smoothly, enough to show that the girl didn't hesitate in the slightest, but Steen frowned after hearing her answer. “Why don't you want to return to the Lancrose family? You are the rightful heir to the family, and you deserve your share in the family. That works for Elena too,” he asked the girl.
