"You don't want to die, but you want my daughter to die?" Gloria questioned sharply.
"I...she...if she doesn't die, my...my fake identity will eventually be exposed." Frightened, Selene ended up spilling the truth.
"Ha! Haha!" Gloria started laughing bitterly out of the blue. She turned to look at the old Master Shaw. "Are you seeing this, Mr. Shaw? This is your
granddaughter. It doesn't matter if she is an imposter or the real one, but she is the one you chose. You have despised my daughter for six years for her sake, and after six whole years, my daughter finally came home but still, you won't let her be! Mr. Shaw, do we have an unresolved grudge from our past lives?"
The old Master Shaw looked at Gloria in tears. "You are my Gloria. You are my Gloria, aren't you?"
She chuckled, despite the despair. "The Gloria you are speaking of, is your daughter, right?"
"Gloria..."
A bitter smile appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, Mr.
Shaw, but I...am really not your daughter. I'm not lying to you."
"How...how is that possible?" "My mom lied right before she passed away. She held
your wife's hands and told her that she stole your daughter from you and your wife, but she lied. She never took the daughter you had with your wife away. She only did that because she knew she was dying and I would be left with no one to take care of me, so she wanted me to return to the Shaw Family and enjoy being treated as the eldest daughter."
you."
"I am Lincoln's first wife. Back when I married him, m y surname is indeed Yale, because that's the surname of the couple that adopted me. Not long after we got married, I realized that he was having an affair with this woman, Jade Sullivan. Enraged, I divorced him and the mistress Jade became his second wife. I remember that these two didn't have a daughter at the time, so how did you end up with your daughter Selene out of nowhere?"
"I..." Jade struggled to respond.
Gloria chuckled and continued, "Whether your daughter Selene is biologically yours and Lincoln's or adopted, I have nothing to do with it, but I need to clarify something with Mr. Shaw here. Mr. Shaw, it's true that we share the same blood. It's also true that I was Lincoln's first wife, but I didn't die of hemorrhage during childbirth. Also, the daughter I have with Lincoln is, indeed, Sabrina. Her original name was Sabrina Lynn. After my divorce with Lincoln, I took m y daughter with me to a foreign land. Selene Lynn. She is either adopted by Lincoln and Jade, or their biological child. She is not mine. As to whether you want to see her as your granddaughter, that's your choice. My daughter and I have nothing to do with it."
Gloria turned to look at Sabrina once she was done and asked, "Darling, shall we go now?"
