In the evening, Evelyn did not return, and I received a message from Mr. and Mrs. Grant.
They asked me to visit the Grant family to discuss Evelyn’s matter properly.
I raised my eyebrows, did Evelyn complain to them? I must seize this opportunity carefully.
Upon arriving at the Grant family, I saw Evelyn crying in Mrs. Grant’s arms, looking utterly pitiful.
Mr. Grant looked at me with a hint of anger and immediately started blaming: “Ms. Saunders, what’s the meaning of today? I know you are displeased with us taking away two children, but

you can’t harm Evelyn!”
I furrowed my brows and spoke steadfastly: “Mr. Grant, please don’t falsely accuse me! Evelyn is my biological daughter, why would I be a threat to her?”
Mr. Grant was taken aback, seemingly unsure how to answer me.
“Mrs. Saunders, I know you have no feelings for me, but for the sake of my sister, don’t shame
me!”
“It’s all because of what you said; everyone in the class is laughing at me now.”
After finishing, Evelyn cried again.
I squeezed my brow, feeling both heartbroken and hurt: “Evelyn, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you didn’t want to acknowledge me as your mother, even though I bore you after ten hard months.”
“Turns out, having a small employee as a mother makes you ashamed. I will never again claim to be your mother.”
At this point, my eyes welled up with tears, looking dim.
I fought back sobs and defended myself: “I only spoke
house you couldn’t clarify Isabella’s
identity for half the day, and seeing everyone about to recognize Isabella as an illegitimate child, for the Grant family’s reputation, I spoke.”
“I never expected I’d be blamed as the wretched mother!”
Mr. and Mrs. Grant’s expressions changed; they knew the intricacies of noble families well and realized this was Evelyn’s little maneuver.
Evelyn hurriedly tried to speak, hoping to rectify her image in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Grant.
“It’s not…”
Interrupted by Isabella.
Only to see Isabella hugging me tightly, her eyes full of tears: “Evelyn, you’ve lived a privileged life for so many years as the princess of the Grant family. It’s normal to feel a gap. But no matter what, she is your biological mother; you can’t dislike her just because she has no money!”
“I remember when I was sick and needed surgery, procuring three thousand dollars, it was mom who worked five jobs a day to gather the medical expenses, leaving her with a lifelong disability.” “She is truly a wonderful mother, would never intentionally shame you!”
Isabella and I embraced each other, crying together. Compared to the hardship we faced, Evelyn merely had her true identity revealed, which is truly insignificant.
Mr. and Mrs. Grant’s eyes also welled up with tears, and Mrs. Grant held Isabella tightly. “My poor daughter, how can you be so unfortunate!”
