"Go ahead, Millie. Just make sure you''re back on time," Heidi said gently
Martin leaned back in
ack in his chair with his eyes closed, seemingly at peace, while Heidi pulled out her phone and started scrolling through reels,
The three of them wore expressions of absolute confidence, as if victory was already theirs. Sering this, a cold smile slowly spread across Cameron''s face.
She reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, turned it on, and opened the recording app before casually slipping it back into her pocket.
"Mrs. Wace," Cameron said, fixing her gaze on Heidi, "I''ll ask you one more time. Am I your biological child? This whole setup today is just to get me to hand over that 15-million dor check, right? In reality, I am y
your biological child."
Heidi switched off her phone and looked at Cameron "You''re so pathetic, Cameron. Even now, you still think you''re our biological child?"
Cameron sneered, "So I''m really not yours."
"Of course not," Heidi replied dismissively.
"You stole me, didn''t you?" Cameron pressed.
Heidi shrugged. "Stole? Think whatever you want. The point is, you''re not our biological child."
Cameron''s eyes narrowed. "Mrs. Wace, you took me while my birth mother was unconscious after a difficultbor. How is that any different from what human traffickers do?"
"Think whatever you want," Heidi said with a wave of her hand. "Besides, it was your Aunt Jessica who brought you to us, not me. If you want to hate someone, hate her. But she''s already dead, so I guess you''re out of luck there.
"Cameron, you''re not our child..
1. d. Just be a good girl and hand over the 15-million-dor check."
Cameron''s eyes shed with anger. "So this is all Aunt Jessica''s fault? Aren''t you two aplices? Why did you encourage her cruelty?"
Martin''s brows furrowed as he leaned forward. "You think I wanted to raise you? Not only that, but force you to disguise yourself as a boy."
"Then why didn''t you just steal a boy instead?" Cameron shouted, her hands clenching into fists.
Heidi rolled her eyes. "Steal a boy? You think kids are everywhere we can just pick whoever we want?" She waved her hand dismissively. "Enough talk. If you know what''s good for you, hand over that check now. Let''s not waste any more time."
Cameron sneered, "I want to see the paternity test results."
"You just won''t believe it," Heidi muttered, her expression dripping with contempt.
Cameron ignored her, pulling out her phone to save the recording she''d just made and upload it to cloud storage.
Ten minutes before the DNA test results were due, Milena returned. "Why aren''t the results out yet?" sheined.
Heidi grabbed her arm, her voice suddenly soft. "Millie, they''ll be ready soon. Don''t worry
In the past, whenever Cameron witnessed the intimate bond between Milena and her mother, she''d stayed quiet despite the difort churning inside her. But now, looking at them, she felt nothing,
Though the official results weren''t in yet, Cameron already knew the truth deep down
Ten minutester, David returned with the DNA test results in hand, his face grim.
Milena and the others immediately swarmed him. "Doctor, what''s the verdict? She''s not our biological daughter, right?
David shot them an icy re, pushed past them, and walked straight to Cameron.
"Hey, what''s with the attitude? Should I file aint against you?" Heidi snapped
Davidpletely ignored her. He couldn''t care less aboutints. He was already handling his final cases before leaving
"Mr. Wace." David''s voice faltered as he handed the paternity
y test results to Cameron, He couldn''t bring himself to say it
Cameron took the papers. "No biological rtionship!"
David nodded. "Correct. No biological rtionship."
"Heh." Cameron flipped to the end of the report where it was spelled out in ck
and white-she had no gic connection to Martin or Heidi,
