Sophia beamed with pride. "Nathan, it''s all thanks to the brilliant son and daughter I gave you that your n has been so sessful."


    "If I hadn''t suggested you get rid of Natalie and swap our daughter in to live the life of a rich youngdy, you would have been all alone in the Don family."


    "I was furious when you brought that little bitch Natalie backter. If you hadn''t found her, none of this would have happened."


    Nathan was angry. "You think I wanted to bring that brat back? If Joanna hadn''t run


    off because she couldn''t stand the thought of a crippled Sebastian after his ident, do you think I would have resorted to such a n?”


    "She was so foolish. If she hadn''t run, the title of Mrs. Griffith would have been hers."


    “At that time, if mypany had separated from Sebastian''s, I would have been left with nothing."


    "Besides, for some reason, Mr. Griffith Sr. found out that Natalie was the Scott family''s biological daughter and insisted she marry Sebastian. I still don''t understand why the old man did that."


    "Bringing her back was my only choice. But I''ve already kicked her out, and


    Sebastian will divorce her. I won''t let Natalie stand in our Joanna''s way. Our Joanna is the best."


    Sophia felt a surge of grievance thinking about the two decades she had spent in the shadows. "Hmph! Natalie and Wendy owe me and my daughter big time. Theirpany only seeded because Sebastian took an interest in my daughter."


    “Now that Sebastian has his eyes on my daughter, once you get your divorce, I''ll be the richest woman in the country."


    Sophia beamed at the thought.


    “Alright, alright. There''s been a slightplication. Sebastian can''t divorce Natalie just yet. Now that Colin is back, I n to use him against Natalie. That brainless idiot was willing to push his own sister into another man''s bed. He''s aplete scumbag!"


    “Natalie despises Colin. If I can make them turn on each other, it will give Joanna more opportunities to get close to Sebastian."


    "The biggest obstacles now are those two old fossils from the Griffith family. They only acknowledge Natalie as their family, not Joanna."


    That was the trickiest part.


    He had been trying to orchestrate an "ident" to turn Natalie into a sharp weapon against those two old folks.


    But he hadn''t found the right


    opportunity yet. However, with the et chance wasing Co Telta!?

    murderous rage flickered in his eyes.


    So, that was Nathan''s true face.


    And Joanna was his biological daughter too.


    To give his illegitimate daughter a happy life, his own father had personally abandoned Natalie.


    He had brought his illegitimate daughter back to the Don family to live in luxury.


    And he had deliberately raised them to be useless, all to steal their mother''s entire fortune.


    Joanna had badmouthed Natalie to them, making them believe she was worthless.


    All the bullying Natalie had endured was because of his favoritism towards Joanna, which he had deliberately ignored.


    And that night, he had hurt Natalie so deeply-his own sister.
