    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The people present were whispering to each other, unsure why Cecilia was doing that.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“We were in the wrong earlier, Ceci. Please don’t take our words to heart too much, someone said.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Those who had previously badmouthed Cecilia feignedpliments, fearing retaliation from her</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra and Ralph stood there, unsure of what Cecilia was nning to do or say</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ignoring the speaker, Cecilia pulled out a document, stating openly and straightforwardly. “This is a DNA test. I’m not actually Mdm. Pa’s biological daughter,</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Everyone was stunned, including Cassandra and Magnits.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Magnus could hardly believe that the sister he’d grown up with since childhood was not, in fact, a daughter of the Smith family.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Cecilia, you’re joking, right?” Magnus put on a fake smile.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia looked at Magnus. “I’m not joking. To avoid anyone doubting me, I’ve had the DNA tests done at several major hospitals. I am indeed not the Smith family’s or Pa’s daughter.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia’s words had started amotion in the scene as people couldn’t believe what she said.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia continued, “I truly don’t wish to continue bearing the supposed debt that I owe to Mdm. Pa for bringing me into this world. Hence, please don’t use the fact that she gave birth to me to guilt trip me in the future. Pa hardly ever cared about me growing up. She didn’t even raise me. Since I was a child, she used the fact that she gave birth to me as leverage, consistently demanding that I do this or that. I don’t owe her anything. The only person I owe anything to is myte foster father. He was kept in the dark about everything, always believing I was his biological daughter.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Everyone fell silent, unsure of what to say next.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The people who previously insisted that Cecilia must mourn for Pa suddenly had no reason to continue doing so.</font></font>N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra stood amongst the crowd, gently tugging at her father’s hand. “Dad, did you know about this?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ralph shook his head. “Pa didn’t tell me, but it all makes sense with what happened in the past.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What happened?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Back then, when Pa was carrying the child of the Smith family, I did contemte getting back together with her. However, I didn’t want the child she was carrying, and she was willing to terminate the pregnancy. Later on, I met Queenie, but I didn’t end up with her either. Looking back now, there indeed was something amiss with her pregnancy at that time. Ralph responded.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hearing everything, Cassandra realized that her father was a sc*mbag.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, she didn’t feel there was anything wrong with it. In her view, it was natural for people to strive upward.</font></font>


    “She was an orphan, after all. She’s quite pitiful, yet she dares topete with me.” Cassandra felt some Cassandra wasn’t the least bit intimidated by those bodyguards. She turned to Cecilia and said, “Ceci, even if you and Pa aren’t rted by blood, causing a scene at her funeral like this is not appropriate. The deceased should be respected. If I were in your shoes, I’d repay hostility with kindness!”


    Originally, Cecilia hadn’t nned on discussing others matters that day, yet upon hearing Cassandra’s words, she smiled and said, “Repaying hostility with kindness?”


    Fortunately, a journalist was present. Cecilia turned her gaze toward Vivian.


    Vivian immediately understood. “There’s a big screen here.”


    She unveiled the big screen, revealing yet another DNA test to the public.


    That test confirmed Cassandra and Pa were biological mother and daughter!


    Cassandra scowled. “Cecilia, you’re being too reckless.”


    Everyone felt that there was drama iing.


    Cecilia once again took out her phone and yed the recording.


    “It’s quite amusing. Aren’t you Pa’s biological daughter? She’s the one divorcing your father. Why don’t you ask her? What does it have to do with me?” It was initially the voice of Cecilia.


    Immediately after, Cassandra’s voice echoed from the phone. “I’ve severed my bond with her. I’m not her daughter anymore. My mom is Queenie.”


    That conversation made it crystal clear to everyone who exactly was Pa’s biological daughter.
