Rosalie was stunned. Since Rowen had liked her, he had never spoken to her like that before.
She felt wronged, tears streaming down her face in increasing amounts.
“You’ve changed! You never used to talk to me like this!” she cried.
Rowen had no way to tell Rosalie the truth. His heart was filled with frustration.
Her father was under investigation with no chance of turning things around, and he himself hadn’t received a single cent–on the contrary, he was left completely empty–handed and kicked out.
He was even more afraid to tell Rosalie the news, worried she wouldn’t be able to handle it while pregnant.”
But Rosalie’s crying became unbearable, so he covered his ears with a pillow.
Seeing this, the pregnant Rosalie only cried louder and caused more of a scene.
While Rosalie and Rowen were arguing loudly, I was busy gathering new evidence against my father.”
Inside, Dad and Tessa were locked up together, waiting for the case review.
They had been detained all night, both looking worn and haggard.
They refused to plead guilty, still believing someone would come to their rescue.
When they saw me arrive, my father even thought I had come to save him.
“Alice! Please save me! Dad really didn’t embezzle company funds!”
“Whether or not there’s proof, it will come to light naturally. Dad, stop saying these things in front of me–you haven’t told me a single truth in all these years,” I said impatiently.
After all these years, the image of my father had completely collapsed in my mind ever since he brought
“This time, I’m here to give you all a surprise.“W
I pulled out several photos and a prenatal report, laying them clearly in front of my father.
Rosalie home.Д
The photos showed Tessa with various men–some hugging her, some kissing her… even some in bed with her.”
Jalen truly had exceptional skills. By tracing clues from years ago, he uncovered everything Tessa had tried to bury.
After being separated from my father, Tessa was pursued by many men. She quickly grew addicted to the attention and the thrill of being wanted.
Drifting from one man to another, she reveled in their affection. Some of them were wealthy–far wealthier than her father had ever been back then.
And that allure of luxury completely captivated her. After all, at that time, her father was nothing more than a poor, lovesick boy. Unexpectedly, news came that my father was marrying my mother, whose family was very wealthy.
Plus, my father couldn’t let go of Tessa; he even called her to tell her the plan.}
He wanted Tessa to be his mistress, and when the time was right, he would divorce my mother.
After becoming my father’s secretary, Tessa quietly siphoned off company funds.W
My father knew but tacitly allowed it.
My father looked at the photos in silence.”
He recalled how soon after Tessa returned to him, she claimed to be pregnant.”
She said it was a premature birth, but the baby was perfectly healthy.
Tessa always went to prenatal checkups alone, pushing him away when he wanted to accompany her.
He thought she was afraid my mother would discover their relationship.
Now it was clear–Tessa was hiding the truth about the child’s origins.
“You doubted Mom’s sincerity toward you, but never paid attention to what was happening right beside you. Dad, do you regret what you see now?‘
My father’s face darkened like iron, his hands clenched tightly
Tessa, who had understood everything at first glance, tried to stop him from looking–but it was too late.
“Tessa, tell me, whose child is Rosalie really?”
Dad ground his teeth and glared at Tessa, the veins on his forehead bulging from holding back anger.
“Rosalie is your child! You were there when she was born. She’s always loved you as her father Don’t let yourself be deceived!”
“Don’t you remember? When Rosalie was born, you said she looked just like you”
Tesse tried to awaken my father’s reason &
His expression softened slightly–after all, Rosalie was his favorite daughter
