?Chapter 1671:


    The towering roller coasters and terrifying drop towers became their viewing gallery as they nted themselves below, watching other brave souls chase their thrills. The piercing screams and delighted shrieks from above sent Barbara into fits ofughter.


    Despite being relegated to the role of spectator for most attractions, Barbara felt her happiness radiate from every pore. This entire adventure opened up a world she had never known existed.


    “Belinda, today has been absolutely incredible. I like you so much! I find myself wishing you could truly be my sister.” Barbara’s words tumbled out as she wrapped her arms around Belinda in an impulsive embrace.


    Belinda returned the hug with equal warmth, her smile genuine and tender. “ying alongside you has brought me incredible joy as well. I’d be over the moon to have a sister…”


    “Like you. But now that I think about it, don’t you have a cousin who’s around your age? I’m sure she treats you wonderfully, too.” Belinda was referring to Zaria.


    However, upon hearing that, Barbara scoffed disdainfully, her eyes filled with contempt. “She is never good to me! In her eyes, I don’t matter at all.”


    Belinda’s eyebrows shot up inplete surprise at Barbara’s words. “How can that possibly be true? You are family. Why do you not have a good rtionship?”


    Barbara’s entire demeanor shifted, her features hardening like stone. “Zaria pours all her devotion into her father and grandmother exclusively. Grandma harbored such deep resentment about my mother’s marriage to my father that she turned her back on uspletely. Even when death imed my father, she pushed my mother to return to the Wright family fold, but only if she abandoned me in the process. She demanded that my mother cast me aside. Since Grandma views me with such disgust, Zaria naturally mirrors that same attitude toward me.”


    Belinda was stunned. She had caught whispers of this family drama before, but discovering that Barbara possessed this painful knowledge struck her deeply. She could only imagine the crushing pain Barbara must have felt when she had learned Tamara’s cruel words about her.


    And regarding Zaria… Belinda found herself murmuring her thoughts aloud, “Even though Tamara dislikes you, Zaria shouldn’t have been so cold to you.”<fn9bb4> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? find[?]ovel</fn9bb4>

    Barbara’s next revtion dropped like a bombshell. “Oh, I nearly forgot to share something crucial with you, Belinda. Zaria doesn’t carry my uncle’s biological heritage. She was adopted from a local orphanage.”


    “Wait, what?” Belinda’s voice cracked with disbelief.


    The revtion hit Belinda like a thunderbolt.


    Zaria wasn’t Elwood’s biological daughter?


    That was truly…
