Miguel reached out and took the report from Marcelo, quickly scanning through it. His expression changed at once, just like his brother’s.

“What? Gianna is Dad’s biological daughter?!” Miguel blurted out.

His shock made it obvious how hard it was to accept the truth.

They had always doted on Gianna and treated her with endless patience, but it never once crossed their minds that she could be related to them by blood.

When their father first brought Gianna home, their real sister Amelia had only been missing for less than six months.

Everyone had been desperately searching for Amelia, and that was when Gianna appeared.

Their father explained that she was the child of a driver who had once saved his life, an orphan whose parents had both passed away.

Slowly, the pain of losing their real sister and the longing they felt were shifted onto their adopted sister.

Meanwhile, Gianna was obedient, well-mannered, sweet-tongued, and clingy at home.

Over time, they gradually forgot their real sister and poured all their love into Gianna instead.

Never did they imagine that Gianna was actually their half-sister!

That truth alone was hard enough for the brothers to swallow, let alone their mother.

To Emery, Gianna had turned into a constant reminder that her husband had cheated and even had a child with another woman.

That kind of pain would never fade.

“Mom, don’t get too emotional. This might still be fake. Someone could be trying to turn us against each other.

“Let’s calm down and check everything first. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions without confirming it.”

Miguel had always been the type to talk sense and comfort people whenever something happened.

Right now, he kept trying to reassure his mother, feeling that everything had happened too fast and didn’t quite make sense.

“How could the photos be fake? Experts already checked them. They weren’t edited! That woman is your dad’s mistress!

“Her name is Regina Jenkins. I’ve seen her before. She fooled me right to my face. She knew everything!

“And Gianna? There’s no way this is just a coincidence. How else could it be this coincidental?”

The more Emery talked, the angrier she became, and the more certain she felt.

She hated herself for being so foolish back then, for never questioning why her husband suddenly brought an adopted daughter home.

Not only did she doubt nothing, but she treated that child as if she were her own.

Just thinking about it made her feel sick to her stomach.

“Now that you mention it, I remember something,” Miguel said, as if a memory had clicked. “Regina was introduced as Gianna’s aunt. Maxwell once mentioned seeing her at a banquet.

“She had just come back from overseas and was staying close to Gianna at that time.”

“What aunt? That’s her real mother! She just couldn’t come out into the open, so she pretended to be an

aunt!”

Hearing that, Emery felt the last shred of doubt snap.

An aunt? Only a fool would believe that!

“I warned you before that Gianna wasn’t innocent. You never listened. Now the truth is out, isn’t it?”

Unlike Emery and Miguel, who were still shocked and struggling to accept reality, Marcelo had already calmed down after the first hit.

If all that was connected to Gianna, it honestly didn’t feel surprising.

“Marcelo, we still don’t know everything. Don’t upset Mom like that.”

Miguel shot Marcelo a disapproving look. He still believed there had to be some misunderstanding.

Just then, Raymond came home.

He headed upstairs and heard loud arguing coming from the study. Curious, he walked in.

“What’s going on here?”

“Raymond, you’re finally back!”

Seeing her husband, Emery completely lost control.
