Chapter 491 Blamed

A few days passed, and I forgot about Evelyn’s invitation. Even Jethro hadn't brought her up. After breakfast one day, I decided to visit my parents at the hospital. Despite my strained relationship with them, they were my family, and I felt an obligation to check on them.Upon arriving at the ward, Mom was gently wiping Dad’s face with a towel. Despite their modest station in life, they had always shared a harmonious relationship. It was probably the only positive aspect of my family."Hey, how are you guys?" I broke the ice after a brief pause.Their reactions were subdued. There was no warmth or joy in their expressions, something I had gotten used to, but it still made me feel somewhat disheartened. I entered the room and set down the gift I had brought on the bedside table, saying casually, "I brought you some fruits. They say having fruits is good for your health.""Why are you here? You said you wouldn't bother with us anymore," Mom asked, her voice tinged with bitterness.

Chapter 492 What Were You Suggesting for Tonight?

As I strode out of the ward after ending the call, Mom spoke up, “Now that you're married into a wealthy family, you live a luxurious life and are constantly surrounded by flattery. Why won’t you think of your brother? Think of the pitiful state he’s in.”Her voice dripped with sarcasm, clearly having overheard the conversation with Evelyn.I paused, fighting to keep my anger in check, and faced her with a cool gaze. “Mom, if that’s how you see things, I don't have much to say. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be going now."No matter what I say, she always circled back to my apparent lack of support for Sean. I didn’t want to prolong a futile argument, so I quickly left the room. Outside of the hospital, I was upset. It was ironic that I received kindness and eagerness from Evelyn—someone I hardly knew—yet my own mother had never shown me such warmth. I truly wondered why things were the way they were.At noon, I called Jethro to inform him about Evelyn’s dinner invitati

Chapter 493 An Awkward Scene

I hesitated to respond, but Jethro was undeterred by my silence. He pinched my waist lightly, prompting me to speak. I was aware he enjoyed seeing me flustered, especially regarding intimate matters. These were topics I found challenging to discuss openly."Do you really need to ask when you already know?" I complained. Jethro's insistence on making me verbalize these things, despite knowing my discomfort, was typical of him."I know, but I want to hear you say it. It's more impactful that way," he whispered seductively, his breath tickling my neck.His deliberate provocations sent my heart into overdrive. He was clearly doing this on purpose!"I won't say it! Can you please let me go? If someone suddenly walks in and sees us like this, your reputation as CEO will go down the drain," I protested.I would let him do as he pleased at home, but we were in the office right now. Moreover, there were many staff outside, and it would be incredibly embarrassing if someone walked in."You

Chapter 494 Her Affection Astonishes Me

After Kevin entered, he cast a quick glance at me and coughed lightly. I felt a wave of embarrassment, recalling how he had walked in on Jethro and me earlier. My cheeks burned, and I wished I could just disappear."Speak if you have something to say or leave." Jethro's voice was stern, his expression darkening as he caught Kevin's gaze on me. He glared at his secretary, clearly displeased.Startled, Kevin quickly averted his gaze from me and placed some documents on the desk. "Sir, these documents urgently need your signature," he said, maintaining a respectful and slightly fearful demeanor.I retreated to a nearby couch, trying to appear calm. I knew the more guilty I looked, the more awkward the atmosphere would be.Jethro briefly scanned the documents and promptly signed his name. Kevin took the documents and hurriedly left the room, not daring to stay a moment longer.Once again alone in the office, I let out a long sigh, feeling that Jethro had been a bit too harsh. Kevin ha

Chapter 495 Evelyn's Thoughts

After the housekeeper's comments, I was left feeling weirded out and at a loss for words. The situation was decidedly odd. Noticing my silence, the housekeeper excused herself to assist in the kitchen."What's on your mind?" Jethro inquired, his tone gentle and eyes probing."Why do you think Ms. Evelyn is so kind to me? Could she have some hidden agenda?" I returned his gaze, my own eyes filled with uncertainty."Everyone has motives for what they do, and Ms. Evelyn is no exception," he remarked, casting a thoughtful glance toward the kitchen."But what could her motive be? I hardly know her, and now she's overly nice. What does she want?"I sought clarity from Jethro, who often had a keener insight into people's intentions than I did. I desperately wanted him to clear my confusion. Facing Evelyn like this every time made me feel uneasy. To be honest, I really appreciated having someone so enthusiastic and friendly with me. Sometimes, Evelyn made me feel like I was her daughter,

Chapter 496 A Hypothetical Question

Evelyn's words, accompanied by a look of profound sadness, left me searching for the right response. She seemed torn by the knowledge of her daughter not living a happy life, and I struggled to find comforting words."What do you think, Rina? Should I reveal the truth to her? Should I be forthright about our relationship?" Evelyn asked with urgency, her eyes fixed on my face as she awaited my response.I was reluctant to involve myself in such a deeply personal matter. Not fully understanding the intricacies of her situation, I felt unqualified to offer counsel. Yet, seeing Evelyn's earnest expression, my heart softened. Despite her initially overwhelming enthusiasm, her genuine kindness and warmth toward me were evident, and I couldn't bear to see her in such distress."Ms. Evelyn, this is a deeply personal family issue. As an outsider, I don't think it's appropriate for me to advise you on what to do," I responded tacitly."But... let's say, hypothetically, if you were my daughte

Chapter 497 What My Mom’s Illegitimate Daughter Looks Like

Jethro acted as if he hadn't heard my question, his gaze toward me growing more complex and unreadable."Are you keeping something from me? Do you know something about this?" I pressed, looking at him with a serious expression. His behavior was truly puzzling."No, and it’s late. We should get home." Jethro said indifferently, then looked away, seemingly evasive.I frowned slightly, feeling a mix of dissatisfaction and curiosity. I was sure Jethro knew something he wasn't sharing, which was frustrating.Back at the Willow residence, I wanted to delve deeper into the matter concerning Evelyn, but Jethro seemed disinterested in discussing it. After his bath, he simply lay down on the bed and promptly fell asleep. Suppressing my frustration, I resolved to uncover the truth myself. I couldn’t shake the feeling of being left in the dark.I had been pretty tired lately, and Jethro already left by the time I woke up the next day. My opportunity to inquire about Evelyn slipped away.

Chapter 498 You Are Evelyn's Daughter

When I heard this accusation, I was momentarily stunned, a wave of panic sweeping over me. Evelyn's excessive warmth since our first encounter now cast a shadow of doubt in my heart. However, this feeling was fleeting as I regained my composure and faced Jolene with a cold, unwavering gaze."Jolene, I must insist that you refrain from making such baseless accusations. I have parents, and I am certainly not your mom’s illegitimate daughter. There must be some misunderstanding here," I declared firmly.I had grown up knowing who my parents were. I was their biological daughter. How could I possibly be Evelyn's illegitimate child? Jolene must have been mistaken."You won’t get away with dismissing this as a misunderstanding. I came here to make it clear that I will never accept someone like you as my sister!" Jolene declared vehemently, her voice filled with anger. She then stormed out of my office, slamming the door behind her.I stood frozen, Jolene’s words echoing in my mind. She c

Chapter 499 I’m Not Your Biological Daughter

"If you want to uncover the truth, the only option is to confront Evelyn directly," Jethro said in a detached tone.I was initially uncertain of Jolene’s claims, but Jethro's statement hinted at a potential truth behind them. Despite always feeling somewhat distanced from my parents, the possibility that I might not be their biological child was a shocking revelation."Do you want to go and ask Evelyn now?" Jethro asked, noticing my prolonged silence."No, I don’t feel ready to face anyone at the moment. Let's just go home. My thoughts are too jumbled, and I need some time alone," I replied, overwhelmed by the thought of possibly being Evelyn's daughter.Jethro didn’t press me further or insist on resolving the situation immediately. Deep inside, I resented him for knowing about my connection with Evelyn and never warning me. If I had been aware, I would’ve maintained my distance from her.Upon reaching the Willow residence, I noticed the family gathered in the living room, but I

Chapter 500 Adopted From an Orphanage

"Where did you hear all this? Who told you these things?"Mom didn't directly address my question, but her expression was one of growing panic. I could tell she was extremely anxious."I’ve met my biological mother. She found me," I revealed calmly, maintaining eye contact.The cup Mom was holding onto crashed to the floor, shattering with a loud noise, water splattering across the tiles. "Your biological mother found you? How could that be?" she asked in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock."Whether you think it's possible or not, it's the truth," I replied, managing to keep my voice steady despite my inner turmoil.Ever since Jethro confirmed my suspicions, I had grappled with this reality. Now, witnessing Mom's reaction, a profound sense of sadness engulfed me."That's impossible. When your father and I adopted you, the orphanage stated you were an unclaimed child. It's been over twenty years. How could your biological mother just appear out of nowhere?" she argued, her disbel
