He said with knitted frowns, “Look at the way you walk! Go see a doctor when you have time.”
Gazing at his back, I wasn’t moved by the warmth he rarely showed.
On my first visit to the Backer family, I was excited to see my brother who looked similar to me.
In the first year of that visit, I had bought Terry a watch with my six–month salary, but he casually gave it to a servant. “What the hell is this? I don’t wear cheap things, so don’t waste your money on the useless stult.”
As for Grace, her gift was a small cake.
However, it thrilled Terry. “What a good sister you are, Grace! You remember my birthday and my love for cakes.”
At that moment, I understood one thing.
I had no brothers…
Tomorrow night, I would leave Timon.
Today was my last day at work.
With the payment of my part–time job, I walked out of the restaurant.
The familiar Bentley was waiting before the restaurant.
Before I went to the car, a fireworks show began in the sky of the high street.
Then, countless drones formed a sentence in the night sky.
“Adam loves Amanda forever.”
Chapter 6
Loved me forever?
I stared at the drones in the sky and was lost in thought.
I didn’t notice that Adam had walked up to me till he said, “Amanda, sorry for what happened yesterday.”
Under the fireworks, his expression seemed gentler than before.
“You should trust me. I love you even if my savior is Grace. You don’t need to lie at all.”
Instantly, I felt like shedding tears.
I didn’t feel moved but hurt by what Adam had said.
How could be bully me together with my family while claiming to love me?
“What is wrong
Because of my long silence, Adam pinched my cheek.
“You are skinny. Why didn’t you grab more tood?”
I finally looked him in the eye and said. “How? Since it was difficult for me to fend for myself during the seven years in Ouray,”
Adam met my eyes and suddenly shuddered
Perhaps, he finally remembered that it was he who had personally sent me to hell.
He intended for an explanation, but the door of Bentley was pushed open.
Then, a familiar voice sounded, “Adam, Amanda, don’t keep standing there. It’s cold.”
It was Grace
The smile on my face became a sneer.
Adem explained, “Grace came to express her gratitude about the wedding Come, let me talor you home.”
He pulled me to the car
In the car, Grace glanced at my old clothes and then said, “Amanda, doesn’t our parents‘ financial manager give you pocket money every month? Why did Terry say that you work at a restaurant?
“People may misunderstand our parents and suspect that they are bad to you.”
Speaking, Grace took off a bracelet and handed it to me.
“Amanda, tell me if you are short of money and don’t want to alert Mon and Dad. This bracelet is my birthday gift from Mom. It is worth more than 500 thousand dollars. It can help you solve the problem, I think ”
500 thousand dollars….
With disappointment and sadness, I looked at the luxurious bracelet Grace handed over to me
One of her gifts was worth Boo thousand dollars while I toiled for five hundred dollars.
The financial manager didn’t give me money as Grace had said.
“It is clear that they are biased. Just look at you and then at me!”
I pushed away the bracelet Grace was holding. “Stop pretending. I am not 15 years old. I won’t fall into your trap again.”
I had intended to be Grace’s good sister when I arrived at the Hacker’s house at 15 years old.
However, Grace lept setting me up and made me her scapegoat. It was too late when I saw through her.
Grace could shed tears whenever she wanted.
At the sight of Grace’s tears, Adam said, “Amanda, tirace is trying to help. You don’t have to be rude even if you don’t want her bracelet.”
He had just said that he loved me.
He sided with Grace whenever I argued with her.
38.05%
How ridiculous his love was!
“Adam, should the poor feel grateful to the hand which gives them the alms?” I asked.
I had my pride.
Chapter 7
Adam didn’t know how to answer my question.
Grace started to gasp for air as she said, “I’m sorry… My bad. All my fault. Adam, please don’t fight with Amanda…”
Instantly, Adam became agitated and said to the driver, “Hurry up. To the hospital.”
He then saw toe and said, “Amanda, you went too far. Go home by yourself.”
He left me on the roadside.
The cer then raced away
I looked up at the night sky and found that it was snowing.
Snow was falling on
Timon.
What a good surprise that I saw the first snow of that year before I left Tinon!:
I walked back to the Hacker’s place.
The house was brightly lit and beautifully decorated.
The people there were busy preparing for Grace’s wedding
“We will throw a grand wedding for Grace,” my mom said with a smile.
My dad sighed. “Alas! How time flies! In the blink of an eye, my dear daughter is old enough to get married”
My parents felt both overjoyed and sad about Grace’s wedding
I watched them from a distance and found that they did love Grace.
At every young age, I had learned that I was the victim of a kidnapping
With the wish of finding my real parents one day, I began to study hard.
In my imagination, my biological parents loved me
Now, I felt regretful about the reunion.
Without the reunion, my parents would be perfect as they had been in my imagination.
I returned to my room without greeting them.
I would leave at 9 PM tomorrow.
A big world was awaiting me, and 1 didn’t cover any love again.
It was the day before the wedding of Grace and Adam.
Terry threw a bachelor party at home.
Many people were invited, including common classmates of Grace and me.
They talked and laughed, but it had nothing to do with me.
There was no bathroom in the utility room, so I had to leave my room to wash up..
When I walked past
the living room, the crowd was playing Truth or dare. Grace and Adan sat in the middle of the crowd.
“Adam, you lost. What is your choice, Truth or dare?”
Tipsy, Ada
close the latter.
“A passionate kiss with Grace, and it should last for one minute.”
Grace shyly lowered her head.
The crowd shouted excitedly.
Then, I was spotted
Chapter 7
The winner added, “Adam, I changed my heart. You can choose any woman under this roof and kiss her for one minute.”
The crowd became thrilled.
The winner pointed at me and said, “Amanda, don’t you like Adam? He will get married soon, so why don’t you seize this chance to kiss him?”
Adam accepted the advice with pleasure. He got up and walked towards me.
When he was one meter away from me, Grace called him in a broken voice, “Adam__”
Grace looked pitiful
Adam glanced back at Grace, shifted his gaze at me, and lowered his voice. “With so many people here, I can’t embarrass her. You understand, don’t you?”
I calmly nodded and then left to wash up.
Behind me, Adam kissed Grace, and the crowd cheered.
I felt peaceful and grateful that Adam hadn’t chosen me.
Chapter 8
I decided to dump Adam because that man, who loved, supported, and prioritized me, was already gone.
Night fell
Adam had prepared for Grace a fireworks show more breathtaking than that for me
He invited me out of the house and said, “Amanda, we can be together after the wedding with Grace tomorrow.”
At the thought of his previous help and support, 1 opened my mouth.
“I’m sorry…
sorry I can’t Be with you anymore.
Before I finished my sentence, Terry called Adam away. “My dear brother–in–law, come, the crowd is waiting for you.”
Adam replied, “Coming”
He then looked at me and said, “What did you say?r
I gave him a bitter smile and said, “Nothing Have a good time.“)
Adam held my cold hand
“After tomorrow, this farce will be over.”
After that, he turned around and walked away from me.
I looked at his back.
Yes, the farce would be over with our ridiculous relationship included.
The fireworks lit up the sky.
The crowd gathered in the living room. I glanced at the time on my phone.
It was 7:15 PM, so there was only one hour and 45 minutes to go.
1 first took a bath.
I looked at myself in the mirror. The scars on my
by body resulted from my terrible days in Ouray.
Then, I put on my best clothes and waited to be picked up. –
There was one hour to po
I looked around the room where I had lived for many years.
The utility room was not small, but there were very few things belonging to
to me.
My stuff included a few worn–out clothes, a couple of old shoes, a quilt that the servants didn’t want, a diary book that had lost its cover, and a photo frame
I first threw away the clothes, shoes, and quilt.
Then, I walked up to the desk and picked up the photo frame, which had inside a photo of the Hacker family and the Powell family. The photo was taken ten years ago when I had just reunited with the Hacker family.
My parents, elder brother, Grace, and Adam were in the photo,
The photo had once been my most precious thing in this world.
I took the photo out of the frame, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the trash can.
In the and, I looked at the diary book that I had been writing since my return to the Hacker family at fifteen years old.
I opened the book.
“December 3, 2012, Sunny; I found my real parents. My dad is handsome, my mom is beautiful, and my elder brother is good–looking. Grace held my hand, and hers was soft. I am so happy. I finally found my real family.”
I turned a page
Chapter B
“March 1, 2013. Cloudy; I don’t have enough money to pay my tuition, so the teacher told me to stand in the corridor today. My classmates laughed at me and called me a pauper. My parents must have their reasons for doing so. I should earn money on my own. I don’t want to be their burden.”
“June 7, 2013, Sunny; It’s Terry’s birthday today. I bought Terry a watch with my six–month salary, but he doesn’t like it. I feel a bit hurt. Even so, I will work harder to buy him something he likes…”
Then, I jumped to the last diary written before I had been sent back to Ouray
“December 1, 2017 Rainy”
The diary contained only one sentence.
“They don’t love me at all!!
At that moment, hot tears rolled down my cheeks.
I couldn’t help but pick up a pen and write down a diary
This time, I wrote in French
“December 10, 2024
“Farewell!
“A question has been on my mind for years. Why did you bring me back since you don’t like me at all?
“Do you dislike me because you didn’t bring me up personally?
“If so, why are there parents who love and cherish their lost children more than before after the latter go home?
“I know that you hate me. You don’t want me to be your child at all. I would choose to be born in Ouray if there were choices for me. If so, I wouldn’t feel hatred before your partiality and bias.”
I wrote down the confusion and resentment I had for years
“Terry, your wish comes true now. From now on, you will have only one sister, and that is Grace.”
In the end, I wrote to Adam
“Adam, you said that you would get back with me after your wedding with Grace.
“I have waited for you
many
times, but not this time.
“Wish you and Grace happiness.
“Farewell.”
I put the diary book back on the table, together with my medical report, which clearly stated that I had only one kidney.
Time was up when I got everything done.
With no luggage but wounds, I limped out of the house.
Behind me, the crowd talked and laughed happily.
Not far away, a black bulletproof car hid in the darkness.
I walked towards my future without any hesitation.
The vehicle drove away from the bustling street and soon disappeared into the night.
Chapter 9
The Hacker’s house was brightly lit.
There were laughter and cheers.
Line–came
The next morning
The noise indicated the beginning of the wedding for Grace and Adam
The Hacker couple had happiness on their faces while they entertained their guests.
Adam was confirming the details with his best man.
Right then, Kerry looked around and failed to see Amanda.
She couldn’t help but frown. “Terry, where is Amanda? Does she intend to be late for her little sister’s wedding? How ill–bred!”
Terry casually replied, “I don’t think that she wanna see Adam marry Grace. She has liked Adam for years.”
Kerry was displeased.
“You, go and invite Amanda out. People will talk if she is absent from this wedding.”
After a nod, the maid was ready to leave with the order, but she got stopped by Terry.
“You go help
Ip with the decoration of the garden. The wedding will begin soon. I will invite Amanda out
Terry paused for a moment and asked, “Which room does Amanda live in?”
“The utility room,” the maid replied
“What?”
Whoever heard the answer got shocked.
Kim asked with confusion, “Why does Amanda live there?”
The maid lowered her eyes and said, “When Ms. Amanda arrived home, there were no rooms for her. Mrs. Hacker told us to let her live in the utility room
temporarily.”
The temporary arrangement lasted for ten years.
Kerry couldn’t help but frown. “I planned to get a room renovated for her, but I forgot. Why doesn’t she remind me! I am her mother, so how will I maltreat her? Her temper is so unlike mine.”
Wearing a tailored wedding dress and an expensive diamond necklace, Grace said on the sola, “Our utility room is much better than her shabby home in the remote village. I don’t think that she will have a problem with it.”
Terry instinctively disagreed with Grace, but he didn’t say anything.
Frowning, he walked to the utility room at the end of the corridor,
He pushed open the door of the utility room and saw countless dust particles dance in the air.
Terry quickly took one step backward.
Covering his nose, he walked into the room cluttered with many things.
Amanda’s bed was right next to a row of shelves full of stuff.
The so–called bed was made with a thin wooden board and a few buckets.
Next to the bed was a large water tank, on top of which there was an old desk lamp, a diary book, and a pile of papers.
These were that Amanda had after years in the Hacker family.
Terry got overwhelmed by astonishment, so he forgot to cover his nose.
Never had he expected his little sister to live in such a terrible place.
This was the Harker’s house, Amanda’s home,
It took Terry only one glance to confirm that Amanda wasn’t in this small room.
40715
Amanda wasn’t in her room, so where was she?
Terry felt weind
He walked towards that water tank, which might have been Amanda’s table.
“Mom and Dad!” Terry shouted to his parents.
He picked up the diary book and the medical reports which had been arranged by date.
“Amanda is not there, but she left these things.”
Just as Kim intended to check the stuff left by Amanda, Adam arrived
“She probably went out in a fit of anger. She is spoiled Terry, come, Adam is here,” Kerry said.
Kim followed his wife out to welcome Adam, so Terry was left behind.
Holding a bouquet of flowers in the living room, Adam had no joy on his face.
He looked around, failed to find Amanda, and furrowed his brows.
“Where is Amanda?”
Grace was displeased because Adam’s first ou
was about Amanda.
She said aggrievedly, “Adam, she probably went out because she didn’t want to attend our wedding. Don’t be mad at her.”
Kerry said, “Adam, don’t worry. We will discipline her later.”
These words angered Adam.
Wasn’t it agreed that this wedding was fake?
Why was Amanda so unreasonable?
Adam took out his phone and sent a message to Amanda, “Can’t you be good? Where are you?”
Chapter 10
Once the message was sent, it was like a stone dropped into the sea.
Adam stood in place and waited for a long time, but Amanda did not reply.
His face grew increasingly gloomy.
And Terry, who walked out, looked at the stagnant atmosphere and couldn’t help but clutch the diary and medical report.
He had only had a few glimpses of the report, but the situation was alarming enough for him.
Terry wondered, “Why is Amanda’s health so poor? And why does she only have one kidney?”
He recalled Amanda’s actions from childhood to adulthood.
Terry felt it necessary to verify the authenticity of these reports.
He did not hand over these things.
Instead, he called in his trusted assistant and asked him to privately investigate what happened to Amanda in Ouray in these seven years.
“Adam, what are you waiting for? Aren’t you here to pick me up for our wedding?”
In the end, it was Grace who broke the suffocating silence.
She walked up to Adam and took hold of his arm.
“Leave Amanda alone since she has gone. She is an adult; she won’t be in any danger out there.”
Upon hearing these words, both Terry and Kim furrowed their brows.
Grace didn’t care about Amanda at all.
Adam said coldly, “We can skip the rest of the procedures. We don’t need to go to that extent for a fake marriage, Grace, you just wanted to wear a wedding dress and walk into the church with me back then, now we can go directly.”
“Adam!” Grace stomped her foot.
Adam withdrew his hand from hers and walked out of the Hacker family’s house.
At the Church.
As it was a fake marriage, Adam did not invite any guests.
No one was in the church except for the Hacker family and a priest.
“This is completely different from what I thought!”
Upon seeing the deserted wedding scene, Grace finally erupted.
“Adam,” she cried, tears streaming down her face, “Amanda has left, but you still have me, don’t I deserve better than that uncultured bastard? And L heard she even got remarried in Ouray. How is she good for you?”
Adam became a little impatient and also felt anxious about Amanda’s disappearance.
“Grace, back then when you attempted suicide and jumped off the building, I agreed to a fake marriage with you. Now, I have done everything I was supposed to do, your wish has been fulfilled. I am going to find Ananda.”
He looked at Grace again and said, “And don’t forget, the life that Amanda has endured should have been yours!”
As soon as the words fell, everyone present was stuurd.
No one expected Adamm to bring up this matter at this time.
Suddenly, Grace took out a knife and held it against his neck
“I don’t care, Adam. How am I inferior to Amanda? Why do you only like her and not me? Have you forgotten that it was me who gave you a kidney when you were injured?” Grace asked in anger.
Her mother was s
scared by this scene.
She hurriedly went to snatch the knife from Grace’s hand and comforted Grace, “Grace, don’t do anything foolish, Mom is here. Mom will help you Adam.”
Chapter 10
talk to
“Don’t come over!”
Grace swung the knife forward, instantly scratching her mother’s arm.
She murmured. “Mom, I just want Adam. Why can’t I get what I want?”
“It’s all Amanda’s fault! Damn it! She should go to hell!”
Curses echoed in the church, and chaos immediately ensued.
The farce ended with police cars and ambulances arriving at the church.
Adam also got injured to snatch the knife from Grace’s hand.
At this moment, he was sitting in the ambulance, and medical staff were bandaging his wounds.
However, Adam seemed not to be in pain, as he kept calling and texting Amanda non–stop.
“Amanda, our fake marriage with Grace has ended. Where are you?
“Don’t be angry, shall I come and find you?
“I did these things because she is your sister, and I was helping you, right?
“I just want you to have a better life in your family, and make your parents like you a little more.”
No matter how many messages were sent, Amanda did not reply.
And the hospital at that time.
Ignoring the wound on her arm, Grace’s mother earnestly instructed the doctor, “My daughter has depression and has only one kidney now. She has already suffered a lot. Please be gentle when stitching her wound. She’s afraid of pain.”
Seeing her so worried, the accompanying nurse couldn’t help but stop walking.
“Madam, I understand your feelings as a mother, but we have already conducted a preliminary examination on this lady.
“She’s in good health and not missing a kidney as you said. Please don’t worry too much.”
Chapter 11
“What did you say?”
Kim, who was supporting Terry, slightly furrowed his brow
The nurse thought he didn’t hear clearly, so she parlently repeated it.
“Ms. Hacker’s body had no other issues apart from the skin injury on her neck, and she doesn’t miss a kidney as claimed by this lady. You can rest assured that once the wound is treated, the lady can go home with you
“How is it possible?”
Both of their faces revealed varying degrees of doubt and shock
Finally, it was Terry who
finally realized
Kerry grabbed Kim’s hand and said, “Dear, we can’t tell Adam about this for now. If he finds out, he will go to Grace and ask for clarification. Grace can’t handle any more stress right now.”
Kim maintained a trace of clear rationality.
He said in a deep voice, “Have you ever thought about who donated a kidney to Adam since Grace has two kidneys?”
In the blink of an eye, the same name flashed through their minds.
It was their forgotten and neglected biological daughter.
That person was Amanda
“It’s impossible,” Terry instinctively denied
Kim frowned as he looked at the sleeping Grace,
He suddenly felt that perhaps he had never truly understood his daughter, whom he had loved for 25 years.
Until Grace was pushed into the ward, neither Kim nor Terry said another word
They saw the wavering in each other’s eyes.
In the office of the executive president of the Hacker Group.
Two hours ago, Terry returned to the company alone from the church
The assistant was quick and efficient.
The information that was found was printed and delivered half an hour ago
In addition to the medical examination reports and medical records that were not much different from those left by Amanda, the assistant even obtained two video recordings.
One was about Amanda and Adam entering the operating room to get a kidney transplant
Another was about Ananda being beaten and tortured by her foster father and villagers in Ouray.
The video was blurry and shot at a bad angle.
It could be seen that it was just accidentally captured by the surveillance.
Terry’s eyes reddened as he was watching the footage.
He thought to himself, “That’s my biological younger sister!
“No matter how much I disliked her when we were young and how badly she treated Grace, she’s my younger sister.
“This is something that can’t be changed.
“How could people in turay bully Amanda like this!
TWhy did these people dare to bully Ms. Ananda?
“We had given Amanda’s foster father a large sum of money and all the relationships were well taken care of.
Chapter 11
42.01
“And why does Ananda look so thin and fragile? I remembered that my family and Adam had sent over a lot of things for her.”
One question after another circled in Terry’s mind.
He called his assistant again.
“Keeping looking. Keep investigating for me. Why did these people bully Amanda? Find out who gave them the courage!”
“Yes, Mr. Hacker.”
The assistant nodded and quickly left to complete the task.
After the assistant left, Terry slumped down in the chair.
Amanda was missing one kidney, limping on one leg, and had scars on her body, some deep and some shallow, that had not faded over the years.
Terry closed his eyes.
He recalled the cluttered room that Amanda had lived in for ten years, which he saw at home this morning.
It took a long time before he opened his eyes.
He looked at Amanda’s old and cheap diary.
Terry suddenly felt that it was like a Pandora’s box.
There might be many things in it that might subvert the ideas of these years.
It would be like the thick stack of medical examination reports and medical records in front of him.
As if gathering up courage, Terry finally opened the first page of the diary.
“Today is December 13, 2012. It’s a sunny day. I don’t know why, but I feel that my parents, older brother, and younger sister are not very happy about my return home, especially my younger sister, Grace. Her gaze towards me is a bit strange.
“But it’s probably just me overthinking, I’ll try my best to fit into this family and be a good daughter and sister!”
Another two hours passed.
Terry finally read the last page of the diary.
When he saw the full page of French, he could no longer keep a calm expression on his face.
He was shocked that Amanda knew French
That meant that Amanda understood everything that they had said in the Hacker family.
When Terry saw the sentence “Afterwards, you will only have one younger sister,” his hand holding the diary couldn’t help but tremble.
He suddenly realized something
He realized that Amanda was not throwing a tantrum and was not trying to seek anyone’s attention.
He muttered, “She’s gone. She’s left the home where no one loves and cares about her.”
Chapter 12
Terry had a hard time processing what he had just seen.
If he was doubting the authenticity of those reports in the morning, after reading this diary, he wavered completely!
So, what he had seen with his own eyes all these years wasn’t real? How had Grace managed to hide it all so well and so deeply?
Terry suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He took out his phone and wanted to call Adam
Because there was a paragraph in Amanda’s diary written specifically for him
But the moment he was about to dial the number, Terry hesitated.
Adam loved Amanda, But now Amanda was gone. It Adam say this, he would definitely fly into a rage and lose his mind.
After much consideration, Terry decided to go to the hospital first.
There were some things that the Hacker family needed to clarity and tackle first
But it was already close to 8 in the evening. Terry decided to go early the next day.
Meanwhile.
The Powell’s house.
Adam kept dialing Amanda’s number,
At first, it was “number is not answering“, but later it became “number is not in service.
Amanda deactivated this number.
This discovery made Adam panic even more.
He had a vague feeling that Amanda was completely disappearing from his world this time.
Adam stared at the chat with her, where there was no reply from her, and his face turned completely cold.
He called his assistant and said, “Use all the connections to find her no matter the cost. Even if you have to turn the entire city upside down, you must
find out where Amanda is!”
After the call, Adam sat in a desolate darkness, unable to calm down for a long time.
A sleepless night.
At & the next morning.
Terry arrived at the hospital where the Hacker family went.
But he was informed by the nurse, “Mr. and Mrs. Hacker took Ms. Hacker home early this morning.”
Terry could only turn back home.
The Hacker’s house had already been restored to its appearance before the wedding, and every servant had a gloomy expressionL
As soon as they saw Terry, It was like seeing a savior.
“Sir, please go and have a look. Ms. Grace is crying and making a scene. She wants to burn down Ms. Amanda’s room.
Upon hearing these words, Terry frowned deeply.
“Terry, you’re back. Please go talk to
to Grace!”
Outside the storage room, there was Kerry with red eyes. Clearly, she had just cried.
Terry remained silent and simply took out the diary.
“Mom,
Dad, I want y
you to read Amanda’s diary
He turned to the last page and said, “Amanda knows French, she understood all those hurtful words we said before.”
Chapter 12
As soon as he said it, Kim and Kerry were stummed.
“How is that possible? Kerry whispered, “She hasn’t learned anything and hasn’t shown it either.”
And Kim, on the other hand, took the diary and read it slowly.
Terry pursed his lips and walked into the storage room.
It was also Amanda’s room.
Grace had already destroyed nearly everything insile, though Amanda hadn’t left much either.
Terry frowned at her madness and said, “Grace, the person who donated a kidney to Alam back then wasn’t you, was it?”
As soon as she heard him, Grace, who was smashing things, froze.
Seeing her reaction, Terry felt a sudden collapse in a place deep within his heart.
Subconscious reactions never lied.
After realizing that he had wrongly blamed Amanda for so many things in the past, Terry looked at Grace with disappointment.
“Grace, how many things have you lied to us about?”
“Why did you intercept the living expenses that Mom and Dad asked to be transferred to Amanda?
“Why did you ask people to torture Amanda in Ouray?
“Why did you lie and say that you donated a kidney to Adam?
Three consecutive “whys” extinguished Grace’s madness instantly.
She looked at Terry and said, “Terry, what are you saying? I don’t understand.”
At this moment, Kim and Kerry, who had finished reading the diary, walked over.
“Yeah, Terry, where do your questions come from? We don’t understand.”
Terry sighed and took out the medical examination reports and medical records from his bag.
He then took out his phone and made a phone call to his assistant.
“Bring those people in ”
Five minutes later.
The assistant brought in the head of Ouray and the finance team of the Harker Group.
And to everyone’s surprise….
There was also Adam, whose face was as cold as ice.
He looked around at the Hacker family members and finally fixed his gaze on Grace.
“I think, as Amanda’s fiancé, I also have the right to know the truth.”
Chapter 13
Upon hearing this, Grace, who had been pretending to be calm, turned completely pale.
Her lips trembled as she said, “Adam, what truth? I couldn’t understand anything you guys are saying today.”
“Grace, are you still not telling us the truth?”
Terry raised his voice.
He looked disappointed. “Over the years, how many times have you framed Ainmida? And how many times have you made her the scapegoat? Do you want me to list everything for you?
As soon as he said that, Grace suddenly took a step back and almost stumbled to the ground.
Her eyes turned red. She looked petiful.
“Terry, I am your younger sister. How could you say such things about me?
Terry
y sneered, “Have you forgotten that Amanda is also my younger sister and my biological sister?”
As soon as he said that, Grace’s face turned even paler.
Perhaps the word “biological” hurt her
She started clutching her chest, turrowing her brows, looking like she was having difficulty breathing.
“Enough! Terry, are you trying to kill your sister?”
Looking at how pale and fragile Grace was, Kerry felt heartbroken.
Terry couldn’t believe it. “Mom, why are you still defending her? Do you know how many sins she has done? Do you even know who your real daughter
He took out those medical examination reports.
“Amanda had only one kidney. Seven years ago, it was she who underwent the transplantation surgery because she was a good match.
“Amanda lived in Ouray for seven years, and she was critically ill several times, all because she had been beaten!”
“Amanda lived in the Hacker family for ten years, and none of us took care of her or showed any concern for her. We even blamed and disliked her because of things Grace said about her. However, Grace’s depression was fake; everything was just an act!”
Speaking of this, Terry finally took out the thing that would deal the most fatal blow to Grace
It was the medical examination report that proved Grace had two kidneys and the psychological test result that proved she was mentally healthy.
At this moment, Adam, who had been indifferently watching, finally spoke.
“Terry, hand me Amanda’s medical report.”
Terry tremblingly handed the medical report to Adam.
And Grace slumped to the ground
There were critically ill notices, X–ray images, CT scan results, and some other pathological images.
As he went through them one by one, it became increasingly shocking, and Adam’s face darkened.
There was even a full–body photo of Amanda.
Arms, abdomen, back, thighs
Every part of the exposed skin was filled with either deep or shallow wounds.
They were caused by the beating and torture in Ouray.
Adam’s expression changed drastically when he saw these wounds.
He walked quickly towards Grace.
He looked down at her, with a sinister gaze.
“Tell me, what did you actually do? What did you do to Ananda?”
Even the well–mannered Adam lost his composure at this moment.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his heart felt as if it had been torn into countless pieces. “Grace, why did you treat her like this?
Grace smiled miserably when she saw it could no longer be concealed.
She looked at Kerry, who was stunned, and said, “Mom, I am in so much pain.”
But the next second, Terry stood in front of Kerry, blocking her line of sight.
“Before we sort everything out, don’t pretend to be pitiful in front of Mon anymore. For all these years, you’ve taken advantage of Mom’s soft heart and her love for you, making her hurt her real daughter over and over again.”
Terry closed his eyes and thought about what the Hacker family had done to Amanda over the years.
“You are so cruel. Have you ever thought that your deeds would make us live in regret and pain for the rest of our lives?”
Grace, however, did not respond.
She looked at Kim and said, “Dad, haven’t you always been the one who loved me the most?”
Upon hearing these words, Kim tightly grasped the diary and averted his gaze.
In an instant, Grace knew that she had lost all the chips to play innocent..
She said carelessly, “I wanted Amanda dead; that’s all”
“Grace!”
Adam’s voice seemed to be forced out of his throat.
His face was as dark as a demon from hell. “Tell us what you have done!”
Grace trembled with fear and was about to speak.
At this moment, Kim spoke.
“Adam
“I will give you an explanation, but before that, you should first read the words Amanda wrote to you.”
When Adam heard this, the killing intent he was exuding diminished slightly.
He took the diary stiffly and flipped to the last page.
Amanda’s beautiful handwriting was on the page.
“Sorry, this time, I will not wait for you.
“I wish you and Grace happiness.
“At last, I’ll be gone. From now o
on, let’s not meet again.”
The date was December 10th, 2024
So, on the day when he and Grace kissed in public, Ananda was extremely disappointed and determined to leave!
But he didn’t notice anything. He even arrogantly believed that he and Amanda still had a future,
Adam held the diary close to his chest, as pain swept through his body like a blizzard.
Before everyone’s eyes…
The man the whole Tinon looked up to burst into tears.
