?Chapter 1616:


    Darwin might be treating her with such coldness now, but it didn’t matter. She harbored unwavering faith that someday he would recognize her true value and choose to build a life with her. She believed this truth with every fiber of her being.


    Baker summoned Kylee to his secret property with urgency. Today carried the weight of a crucial discussion. He harbored deep concerns about potential eavesdroppers at home and feared the devastating consequences if anyone overheard their conversation. After weighing his options, he determined this location offered the greatest security.


    “What’s happening, Dad? Why did you summon me here with such urgency? Has something gone wrong?” Kylee’s voice carried genuine worry.<fn27dc> For more chapters visit find[f]ovel</fn27dc>


    Looking at Kylee, Baker got straight to the point. “The paternity test results are out.”


    “So soon?” Kylee’s eyes zed with sudden brightness. “What do the results reveal? Does Belinda share blood ties with the head of the Wright family in Soling?”


    Baker studied Kylee’s expectant face, drew in a measured breath, and delivered a decisive nod. “Yes! Your suspicions have proven absolutely correct!”


    Kylee bit her lip for a moment. “So… Belinda is truly Elwood and Car’s daughter?”


    Baker replied, “Precisely. The paternity test has verified beyond doubt—they are father and daughter.”


    Kylee retreated into troubled silence, her gaze dropping as waves of fierce jealousy and burning resentment flickered like mes within her eyes.


    “Damn it! Why does fate shower Belinda with such favor? To think she actually possesses such wealthy and influential parents makes me mad!”


    Her venomous words emerged through clenched teeth, her jaw locked in rigid tension.


    When she had first learned that Belinda was Car’s daughter, her heart had already been consumed by envy. She had always believed Belinda was nothing more than an illegitimate child. But now, the shocking revtion struck her like lightning—Belinda’s biological father was none other than the head of the powerful Wright family in Soling!


    How could this be fair? Why did all the good fortune fall into Belinda’sp?

    Kylee wasn’t the only one consumed by rage. Baker, too, seethed with anger. It had been Elwood all along—that despicable scoundrel who had captured Car’s affections. It had really been Elwood. Car had cheated on him with Elwood.


    The thought of it made Baker grind his teeth in fury.


    After several long moments, he noticed Kylee’s continued silence. He called her name repeatedly. “Kylee? Kylee?”


    Only then did Kylee snap back to reality. She lifted her gaze to meet Baker’s concerned stare, drew in a steadying breath, and then allowed a smile to bloom across her features.


    “Well, Dad, this development brings us fantastic news! Because from this moment forward… Elwood will be my father. As for Belinda? Ha, who would ever seed in uncovering her true parentage?”


    At this thought, her expression turned smug.
