Chapter 259 Don’t You Lecture My Son!
“Why is Elias here as well, Dad?” Stephanie turned to look at her father.
Jack frowned, wondering what Elias was doing there when he was about to reunite with his long-lost daughter.
A minute later, Elias pushed the door open without even knocking on it first.
Even though he knew the passcode, he would usually press the doorbell before entering, but he directly stepped into the house this time.
Amanda sneered, wondering if the man was there to stop them from arguing or worried that she would ruin his plan.
After all, if Elias could marry Stephanie, the Winterses would be unrivaled in the business world. There was no way the man would let the chance slip through his fingers.
Amanda felt that someone had fooled the Allegras into believing that she was their daughter in an attempt. to ruin the marriage.
When Elias entered the living room and saw everything he frowned in displeasure as he didn’t expect Jack to come looking for Amanda with his family members. “You’ve acted on a whim, Mr. Allegra,” he said grimly.
Then, he walked up to Amanda and took Aiden from her before placating the young kid. “Don’t worry. Daddy is here.”
“Daddy, I don’t want to see that ugly woman again. Please chase her away.” Aiden pointed at Stephanie.
How dare he call me an ugly woman again?! Stephanie was enraged. “Do you even know how to discipline your son, Elias? He’s so rude!” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
She hated anyone calling her ugly. She had always been the center of attention since a young age, but the kid kept calling her ugly. As such, she felt humiliated.
Elias snapped. “You have no right to lecture my son. Mind your own business.”
Jack and Stephanie were rendered speechless, thinking that Elias and Amanda were indeed a couple as their way of speaking was similar.
Amanda shot him a glance and demanded, “Chase them away right now. Even though your engagement is a failure, it has nothing to do with me. How dare they come to my house in the morning and cause a scene? Do you know what they said? According to them, I’m Stephanie’s older sister as well as the eldest daughter of the Allegra Family. How funny is that?”
All of them fell silent, including Elias. After all, everyone was aware of the truth except Amanda.
She continued, “Perhaps your enemies have fabricated such a ridiculous story. Not only do you believe it, but you’ve also come all the way here to claim that I’m your daughter. Are rich people so easily fooled? How did you even make your fortune?”
Her voice was filled with mockery and disdain. She didn’t believe their story, nor was she interested in becoming their daughter.
Moreover, Jack had been acting all high and mighty as if becoming his daughter was the biggest honor
one could ever achieve.
Damn it! It’s not like I want to be his daughter!
Without uttering a word, Jack turned to look at Elias, who was the best person to explain the situation.
While carrying Aiden, Elias gently rubbed his hands and said, “What they’ve said is true. You’re their daughter as proven by the paternity test result.”
“What did you just say?” Amanda’s eyes widened in disbelief, thinking she had misheard him. What the heck?!
The man gave her a firm look and nodded. “That’s right. Dick isn’t your biological father. Mr. and Mrs. Allegra are your parents. Although it sounds preposterous, the paternity test result is the best proof.”
The next instant, Jack fished out the paternity test result and placed it on the table.
When Amanda saw the document on the table, she fell into a dazed state, not knowing what to do.
It was mind-blowing to hear such shocking news early in the morning.
She stepped forward and picked up the paternity test result with trembling hands before going through it.
She didn’t understand much of what was written, but the bottom of the last page clearly stated that she and Jack were biologically related.
There was also the seal of the laboratory that conducted the test, so it didn’t look like a sham.
With the document in her hands, Amanda glanced at Jack before shifting her attention to Elias. She had tons of questions to ask, but she didn’t know where to start.
“Is the test result credible? Have you looked into it?”
Elias replied, “There’s no need for that because I asked someone to conduct the test. Do you remember when you passed out in the hospital the other day? Well, you didn’t black out. I asked Yacob
to make unconscious so that he could collect a blood sample.
you
Upon hearing that, Amanda flared up and hurled the document at the man. “How could you do a paternity test without my permission? Who gave you the right to do that? Also, why didn’t you tell me earlier? You made me look like a clown!”
What’s wrong with this world? How is it possible that I’m their daughter?
Elias let the woman vent all her fury before saying, “I’m sorry. I wanted to get to the truth before telling you about it. After all, I was uncertain at that time.”
Seeing how cool-headed the man was, Amanda soon calmed down. She touched her head, feeling like her mind was a mess. “Tell them to go away. I need to be alone. I don’t want to hear whatever they have to say.”
When Aiden saw his mother acting like that, he thought she was furious. As such, he yelled at Stephanie, “Get out of my house now, you ugly woman! I hate you!”
Elias glanced at his son and said, “Don’t talk like this, Aiden.”
Without responding to her, Elias turned to look at Jack. “Please go home first, Mr. Allegra. I’ll talk to her. Please give her more time to digest everything, considering how shocking the matter is.”
Just as Jack was ready to say something. Edith took her husband’s arm and said, “Elias has a point. Give Amelia some time. Let’s go home first, Jack, Steph. We’ll take our leave.”
Jack stared fixedly at Amanda for a moment before turning around to leave, and Stephanie followed suit.
Meanwhile, Edith walked up to Amanda in an attempt to take a closer look at her daughter after being separated for such a long time,
As she approached the woman, tears slid down her face.
Then, she said through choked sobs. “I’m glad that you’re all grown up now. Thank goodness your life wasn’t taken away. We’ve been searching for you over the years. After such a long time, we thought you might be… gone for good. I’m truly happy that you’re still alive.”
When Amanda looked at the older woman, she felt a sense of familiarity for some reason.
Is she really my mother? Even though there was the paternity test result as evidence, she still couldn’t believe
Edith continued, “It’s all my fault. I’m sorry for losing you. If I had been more careful at that time, you wouldn’t have gone missing, and you wouldn’t be looking at me like a stranger now…
