Brittany finally snapped out of it at that point, not sparing Robert a glance as she wheeled Donna Dustin away.
"Mom, I was wrong; I really messed up." Robert was practically crawling, begging Donna Dustin to stop, "I know I messed up. Please forgive me. You've raised me all these years."
Donna Dustin stared coldly at Robert. "You've raised Bri for over 20 years. Did you hesitate before hurting her? I raised you, and when I fell sick, did you think to save me?"
Initially, she didn't want to reveal this relationship; after all, she raised Robert, and it was hard for her to bear.
But who would have thought she raised such an ungrateful person? After she was admitted to the hospital, she changed her will.
Robert paled, "I didn't mean to."
"For the sake of our mother-son relationship," she said, "You should take a look at this document."
The lawyer handed over the document upon hearing this.
He opened it, took one look, and his eyes widened in shock as if he'd been hit by a truck. He was completely drained.
Brittany was curious, wondering what document could shock him so profoundly.
"Bri, let's go."
Donna Dustin didn't look at him again. Brittany wheeled her away, and Hannah followed behind.
A journalist picked up the document. It was a paternity test report for Robert and Patrina, revealing that Patrina wasn't his biological daughter!
The audience was in an uproar.
"Robert's beloved daughter for over 20 years isn't his blood kin? And Brittany, whom he plotted against, is his daughter!"
"What a twist of fate! He loved and cherished someone else's child as his own for over 20 years while he pushed his real daughter away. And when his adoptive mother fell ill, he didn't help her, and she didn't leave him a dime!"
"An audio clip was leaked online, clarifying Brittany's supposed assault. Robert provoked her first, and some of his injuries were faked!"
" Robert used Donna Dustin's need for a bone marrow match to threaten Brittany into giving up her studio and work for him."
"Robert's actions are despicable! His adoptive mother was dying, and he was still scheming for money!"
"What a drama! This is so exciting."
By the time the police subdued Robert, Gianna's face was covered in bruises, her eyes filled with fear. She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
"Gianna, you bore someone else's child and let me raise her. We'll settle this score slowly."
Robert calmed down and glared at her. Gianna's eyes were full of fear. That matter, it was discovered as well.
As Robert was taken away, Gianna, ignoring the pain on her face, grabbed the nearest officer and said, her voice trembling, "Contact Brittany. I need to tell her something now!"
No way.
Robert knew Gianna's true identity and wouldn't let her go.
She couldn't just sit and wait for the inevitable.
Luckily for her, she had one more secret that could help her escape safely.
After watching the live broadcast and hearing Gianna's words, the policeman looked conflicted. He called a doctor and then walked away.
Gianna collapsed on the ground, blood flowing from her face, her eyes filled with a gloomy light.
