Chapter 7
I held back my tears and looked at her firmly:
“I’ve already written the declaration to sever our mother–daughter relationship. You can sign it shortly.”
She looked at me in disbelief.
I wanted to see reluctance and heartache in her eyes, but all I saw was indifference.
I took a deep breath and looked at the judge again.
“Your Honor, please proceed!”
The judge handed a USB drive to the court officer.
The officer plugged it into the machine, and instantly a clear image appeared-
Paisley was wearing my sexy nightgown, provocatively drawing circles on Garrett’s bare chest.
Her tone was full of dissatisfaction:
“Honey, that woman won’t even drink the supplements I specially bought for her anymore. She won’t fall asleep, so we can’t even do our business.”
Garrett gripped her restless hand tightly.
“Knowing we can’t do anything, you still tease me?”
“You should be satisfied. Which night don’t I spend with you under the pretense of telling bedtime stories?”
“Come on, call me daddy.”
Watching the indecent scene, someone in the gallery actually started vomiting.
“This is disgusting. Even if Paisley is an adult woman… but looking at her child’s face, how could this monster bring himself to do it?”
“I can’t take it anymore. I really can’t watch this.”
“When the wife first saw all this, she must have been more disgusted than we are.”
Yes.
When I first learned the truth, I vomited for a day and night until I was throwing up bile.
When we adopted Paisley, I had worried:
“Honey, shouldn’t we investigate this little girl’s background first? I always feel like her eyes don’t look like a child’s.”
Garrett held me lovingly:
“Silly, orphanage children can’t have such pure eyes. She’s probably been bullied a lot.”

“If we treat her well from now on, she’ll regain a child’s innocence.”
I thought what he said made sense and centered my entire life around Paisley.
But I gradually noticed that she was very resistant to my affectionate gestures, while she seemed to enjoy Garrett’s
approaches.
When I mentioned that to Garrett, he explained with a smile:
“Maybe it’s because most of the caregivers at the orphanage are women, so the children there are more starved for father’s love.”
“That’s actually not bad–you’re tired from work anyway, so you can get more rest. Plus, girls who grow up with their fathers develop stronger character and become more courageous.”
So, I didn’t suspect anything, even when Paisley intimately kissed his cheek in front of me.
I just tried my best to fulfill my role as a mother.
Until that day, when I found an unknown precipitate in the bedtime supplement Paisley bought for me.
Puzzled, I went to push open her door, only to see through the crack her body entangled with Garrett’s.
My world collapsed.
It felt like countless thunderbolts exploded in my mind.
All I could hear was ringing in my ears.
My hand froze in mid–air as scenes replayed in my head-
Every night when preparing my supplements, Paisley would always tear open the packaging beforehand and pour it into a cup for me. It was to make it easier to slip in sleeping pills.
So on every night when I was unconscious, what came from the bed next door wasn’t bedtime stories at all, but their passionate entanglement.
Every parent–teacher conference Garrett eagerly attended was actually their secret date.
Every time Paisley stole glances at me while kissing Garrett’s cheek–it wasn’t shyness, it wasn’t guilt, it was provocation.
Naked provocation.
And me? I only discovered it now!
I finally made up my mind to secretly investigate her.
The truth I uncovered was unbelievable.
The daughter I had called my own for so long was actually an adult woman with a special medical condition.
When we first adopted her, she was already 28 years old.
Garrett never expected I would install hidden surveillance in the spare bedroom. He frantically tried to explain:
“Honey, believe me, she seduced me!”

“She said she was an adult and could give me different sex experience!”
“Honey, I was wrong. I was really wrong.”
Paisley could no longer control the tears in her eyes. She looked at Garrett sadly:
“I never thought you were such a hypocrite.”
“Didn’t you say Vera Sinclair was so domineering she wasn’t even really a woman?”
“Didn’t you say only I could bring you happiness?”
“Didn’t you say that once you transferred the assets, you’d divorce her and marry me?”
The people in the gallery looked at Garrett mockingly.
“What? This man is just playing with her?”
“This guy is way too quick to distance himself–irresponsible to both sides. I’ve never seen such a disgusting piece of trash!”
Paisley sadly turned to my mother.
“Mom, can you take me home?”
