Silvia gave a faint smile, her eyes full of sarcasm. “You raised Aria for twenty years. Why don’t you go to her but to me?”
If they had welcomed her with love two years ago, she might have softened.
But now, she wanted nothing to do with this family.
Gambling and bankruptcy, Austin ended up like this because of their spoiling.
“This has nothing to do with me,” Silvia said.
If Austin were a good guy, out of blood ties, she might help in times of trouble.
‘But gambling debts? He deserves it!‘ Silvia said inwardly.
With that, she tried to leave, but Dominic blocked her path, his face instantly cold. The gentle expression was gone in an instant.
“Aria is the real daughter of the Saxon family. You’re just a fake, and your carry my blood. Why can’t I ask you for help?” The sharp words stabbed her heart.
Silvia bit her lip, holding back tears. “You never raised me. You have no right to ask me for money. If you keep harassing me, I’ll call the cops.”
Finishing, she turned to leave.
“We knew about the mix–up with you and Aria long ago!”
The sudden words stopped Silvia in her tracks.
She turned around, disbelief written all over her face. “What did you say?”
Seeing that this tactic worked, Dominic let out a cold humph. “Fifteen years ago, I accidentally found out that Aria isn’t biologically related to us.

A trip to the hospital revealed that you two were swapped at birth. We came to the Saxon family that very day. But after seeing how well–off you were living, we decided to drop the matter.”
Fifteen years ago, Austin got hurt while playing, lost too much blood, and fell into a coma.
The doctors wouldn’t allow immediate family to donate blood, but Dominic and Alice kept insisting, so they had to get their blood tested first.
That was when things got messed up.
Their real daughter wasn’t biologically theirs.
What Dominic said was half true, half false.
He had known about the mix–up for a while, but looking for Silvia was a lie.
“If you can’t come up with the money, I’ll go tell the Saxon family that you begged us not to reveal the truth when we found you!” Dominic threatened with a fierce look in his eyes.
Silvia staggered back, leaning against the wall, her voice trembling. “I don’t believe it!”
Dominic had anticipated this. He pulled out his phone and showed her a photo of the DNA test report. “Take a look yourself.”
Silvia took it and saw a wrinkled, old–looking document.
The date on it was fifteen years ago.
Her mouth opened slightly as silent tears streamed down her face.
‘How could this be… She couldn’t believe her eyes.
At the same time, Everett had just stepped out of the operating room and

was pulled away by Manfred immediately after briefing the post–operative instructions.
Even though exhausted, he managed to muster a smile for the investor of their hospital. “Is there something you need, Mr. Saxon?”
“Dr. Robertson, do you recognize this little girl in the photo?” Caleb held the corner of the photo.
The image shook badly, making it hard for Everett to see clearly. He took it, and upon recognizing the girl’s face, he widened his eyes in shock. “Who is she to you?”
A long time had passed, yet Everett still couldn’t forget those eyes–silent, hollow, world–weary.
Fifteen years later, he never thought he’d see her photo again.
Seeing this, Caleb got it instantly–Aria was the child nearly burned to death for insurance fraud.
‘Dominic Colton! Alice Colton!‘ he roared inwardly.
Caleb clenched his fists, his eyes reddening as he suppressed his fury, veins bulging on his forehead. “She’s my sister.”
Everett looked at him, gradually piecing it together. “That little girl wasn’t the child of that couple. Was she trafficked?”
He handed the photo back. “If you guys are available, let’s talk in my office.
