?Chapter 1076:


    “Liar,” Norah interjected.


    Bernice let out a heavy sigh. “We lived a poor life so that Iker wouldn’t find us. We didn’t have enough food or clothing, but we survived.”


    Norah looked at her parents with sadness. “You’ve endured more than you’re letting on. You’re holding back. Dad, Mom, can’t you just tell me the truth?”


    She could sense they were hiding something.


    Gilda stepped forward. “Sir, Madam, Miss Wilson is your daughter. You don’t have to hide anything from her.”


    Calvin clenched his hands and finally said, “We’re not hiding anything. After the Lee family took us in, they locked Bernice and me in the cer. They treated us like prisoners, or worse, like pets.”


    When Ivy was still Bernice’s servant, she felt a deep-seated hatred for her. After epting money from Iker, she abandoned Bernice’s daughter, and soon after, she resigned from her position. But even after saving Calvin and Bernice, her resentment only grew. She locked them in the cer and tortured them whenever she was in a bad mood.


    No food, no water, no quilt to keep warm in the harsh winter… Bernice smiled gently. “That’s all in the past now. Norah, now that we are reunited, I’m happy.”


    When she and Calvin saw Chayce, they thought they were hallucinating. They never imagined they would see their daughter alive and well again.


    Bernice gently stroked her daughter’s face. More than 20 years had passed, and the baby girl she remembered had grown up. But no matter what she did, she could never make up for the years she missed in her daughter’s life.

    Her fingers, once delicate, were now gnarled and rough. She had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had never known suffering like this.


    And Calvin, who had been trained as the family heir since he was little, never imagined he would spend four years living in a dark, cold cer.


    “Dad, Mom, you’ve suffered so much,” Norah sobbed.


    “Norah, as long as you’re safe, that’s what matters,” Calvin reassured his daughter.


    As parents, they were willing to endure anything for their daughter. They had searched for her for so many years, and finally, they were reunited.


    Calvin looked at Norah, pride filling his eyes. She had grown into an excellent woman.


    “Norah, how have you been all these years? It’s our fault. We didn’t protect you as we should have,” Bernice wept quietly.
