Chapter 3 Who Wants a Fake Daughter?

  • "Really?" Elaine asked, eyeing the compliant Alora with a smile that held no warmth.
  • "Grandma, are you certain that the Wilsons would be interested in something fake?"
  • She recalled how, in her previous life, the contemptible Terry hadn't even spared Alora a second glance.
  • Maya remained silent.
  • Alora promptly bit her lip and cast her gaze downward, her expression one of clear hurt.
  • Her appearance of grievance was so pitiable.
  • It stirred sympathy in anyone who saw her.
  • Observing the scene, Maya felt a pang of sadness.
  • She gently patted Alora's hand to offer comfort and shot a sharp look at Elaine.
  • "What do you mean 'fake'? Alora is my granddaughter! Anyone who dares question her as not being the true daughter of the Currans will have to face me!"
  • Elaine stayed quiet.
  • A subtle smile appeared at the edge of her lips.
  • It had been the same in her previous life.
  • Maya held Alora close, treating her like a precious gem.
  • In contrast, she viewed her biological granddaughter as unimportant.
  • But it didn't bother Elaine.
  • As long as she had her parents, that was enough for her.
  • She didn't care about anyone else.
  • Maya went on, "Since you are aware that you're not suitable for Terry, then Alora remains his fiancée."
  • Elaine didn't say anything.
  • She didn't even bat an eye.
  • The fact of who Terry, that b*stard, chose to marry was of no concern to her.
  • She wouldn't be interested even if he wed a dog.
  • Rebecca frowned and said, "Mom, Terry is engaged to Elaine. You can't just disrupt the engagement."
  • Maya kept insisting that Elaine wasn't fit for Terry, which only added to Rebecca's irritation.
  • If it weren't for the fact that she was her elder, Rebecca would have lost her temper a long time ago.
  • How could she say my daughter wasn't good enough?
  • My daughter is even deserving of the president!
  • Maya replied with confidence, "It's her own choice that she doesn't want it."
  • Leon said coldly, "Mom, let's discuss this another time. And also ... "
  • His tone grew icy and stern.
  • "Mom, it's one thing if you favor Alora, but if you keep saying that Elaine isn't worthy of Terry, I will be very upset."
  • Maya responded, "Yes, yes, I can't even comment on your precious daughter. Once you have a daughter, you forget your mother. Alora, let's go!"
  • She was taken aback by her son, who had always been obedient, treating her this way.
  • In her anger, she pulled Alora away.
  • Before they left, Alora glanced back at Elaine.
  • Her fingers, which had been hanging loosely at her sides, slowly tightened into fists.
  • She didn't believe that Elaine genuinely wanted to end the engagement.
  • This woman is incredibly cunning.
  • She uses withdrawal as a strategy to advance, making her parents pity her so she can easily take Terry away.
  • What right does she have?
  • She came back and took everything from me.
  • Dad, Mom, and even Terry!
  • I could let go of Dad and Mom, but Terry?
  • No way!
  • She has admired that captivating man since she was a child.
  • No one is allowed to take him away!
  • ...
  • Elaine observed Alora's expression.
  • A faint and mocking smile curved her lips.
  • What a world we live in.
  • Even a scoundrel is being fought over.
  • "Elaine, tell me honestly, what do you really think?"
  • "Elaine, don't let Grandma's words bother you. Terry is a good person. I can see that you really like him. You two are a perfect match."
  • In the living room, only the three of them were present—the couple who intended to have a serious conversation with Elaine.
  • "Dad, Mom."
  • Elaine reached out and embraced her parents, feeling immense joy.
  • She's back.
  • In this lifetime, she could finally be with them properly.
  • Her eyes welled up with happiness.
  • But her parents, in contrast, felt a pang of heartbreak.
  • "Elaine, don't cry. I know you've been wronged. Don't worry, I'll make sure you marry into the Wilsons without any problems," Leon said.
  • A man who has dominated the business world for decades, seeing his precious daughter with red-rimmed eyes, was immediately thrown into a panic, not knowing what to do.
