Chapter 261
Everyone’s gaze fell on Annalise. Some were shocked, some were surprised, some were in disbelief,
some were enyious, some were jealous, and some were envious… Some gave their blessings, such as
Lianne. Some were gratified, such as Sybil. Some gave congrattory messages, such as Trevor and
Henry. Many people whispered to each other. “Annalise is popr recently. It generates more news
than a popr celebrity. There were so many talks about her.”
“That’s right. First, she is Master Quigley’s proud disciple, and now it was announced that she’s Mr.
Xander’s daughter. No wonder she is so beautiful and has such a good temperament?” “I feel like I’m
dreaming. I can’t believe this is happening.” “Don’t say that. Annalise does bear slight simrity to Mr.
Xander.” “She’s my biological daughter. She looks like me for sure!” “Are you kidding me? For a
wealthy family to acknowledge a child, they must have done a DNA test. How can it be fake?”
“Julian’s good at making choices. When he first got married, I thought he must be blind. He married an
uneducated woman from the countryside. Now, I realize that he’s amazing. He can pick out an
unpolished jade from a pile of rocks at just a nce.” When Nancy saw Annalise being the center of
attention, the disparity in her heart increased. She did not believe that was true. Seeing Sybil standing
not far away, she immediately went over and asked softly, “Aunt, is this true?” “It’s true,” Sybil said.
Synil would support any decision her brother made. Whether it was true or not, everything was for the
best as long as Lee had faith in his heart. Nancy bit her lip subconsciously. Sybil turned to look at
Nancy, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?” How could that be? I was just a little surprised. I didn’t
expect Annalise to be my sister.” “Yes, I have one more niece In the future, we have to treat Annalise
better.”
“Yeah, I will,” Nancy replied. On the stage. Annalise had gone up the stage. Lee’s eyes were filled with
affection. He handed the microphone to Annalise and said gently, “Annalise,e. Say a few words to
everyone.” Annalise took the microphone and said, “I’m not good with words of gratitude. Anyway,
thank you, everyone. Thank you for everything!” Below the stage, Julian smiled dotingly.
No matter how she looked, he felt that she was very cute. Trevor looked at the scene on the stage and
was slightly moved. Family members were always the closest and warmest. Lee looked at Annalise
with a doting smile. He took the microphone from her and said, Thank you again!” Lee held the
microphone and bowed slightly on stage.
Then, he handed the microphone to the host and walked off the stage with Annalise. As soon as
Annalise left the stage, many people tried to talk to her. “Hello, Ms. Xander. I’m Jill Selley!” “Hello,
Anna. I’m Jenny Jackson!” Julian was already waiting below the stage. As soon as Annalise got off the
stage, he came over to protect her and led her away.
If someone tried toe close, he would give a cold attitude so that no one would disturb Annalise.
When Annalise saw Julian acting that way, she smiled and whispered to Julian, “You look so cool and
handsome acting like this!” Julian’s gaze instantly became fervent. He whispered into her ear, “Don’t
flirt with me. I won’t be able to control myself at night.” “Haha!” Annaliseughed. She knew him well.
She was pregnant. No
Lee did not know what Annalise and Julian were talking about. But, when he saw Annalise smiling
happily, he could not help but smile. It was as if he could see Heather and him through them.
Unfortunately, his rtionship with Heather was short-lived. He hoped that Annalise and Julian could
live happily together for a long time. “Mr. Xander, Old Mr. Xander wants to see you.” The butler hurried
over to look for Lee.
Lee nodded slightly and said to Annalise, “Annalise, please eat something. Wait for me. I’ll be right
back.” He would bring her to officially meet the members of the Xander family. “Okay,” Annalise replied.
Mr. Xander followed the butler to meet his father, who was dozens of meters away. “Lee, what’s going
on?” Old Mr. Xander looked very serious. He observed Annalise from afar, and his eyes filled with
hatred. past, she disappeared suddenly to elope with someone.
If Heather had not suddenly eloped with someone back then, Lee would not lose his determination to
fight on and would not be bedridden for 20 years. 20 years. Lee had spent the prime 20 years of his life
in a hospital bed. When he thought of the past, he was furious. In that case, even if Heather gave birth
to a daughter, she would not be Lee’s.
Lee saw that his father was looking at Annalise with hatred. His eyes darkened and he said, “Dad, no
matter what kind of issues I have with Heather, Annalise is my biological daughter. It’s already
negligent on my part not to protect and take care of her when she grew up. I hope that no one in the
Xander family will treat her badly and make her sad from now on.” Old Mr. Xander’s tone became even
more serious. “How could she be your biological daughter? You know very well that Heather had
already cheated on you before your surgery,” “I’ve done the DNA test. Annalise is my biological
daughter.” Lee looked at his father. rival’s daughter?”
Old Mr. Xander showed some uncertainty. “Is she your biological daughter?” Old Mr. Xander knew Lee
well. Lee would not tolerate any wrongdoings. “Yes!” Lee said firmly. “There’s nothing wrong with the
report?” Old Mr. Xander still did not believe it. Lee asked, “Dad, do you think I’m easy to fool?” Who
could fool him if he was unwilling to be fooled?
Mr. Xander frowned. “She doesn’t look like Heather at all.” If they looked alike, they would have
recognized each other when they first met at Samuel’s birthday banquet. “She looks like me!” Lee said.
Annalise bore at least 70% simrity to Heather. Otherwise, he would not have recognized her at a
nce. Other people could not recognize the simrity because when he brought Annalise back to the
Xander family, Heather already Heather was very fat. Although she was still cute in his eyes, her
appearance had changed. She was different from when she was thin.
When Old Mr. Xander heard that Annalise looked like Lee, he frowned again. He looked at Lee and
thought about Annalise’s appearance. She had a slight simrity to Lee. His expression softened. “If
she’s your daughter, you have to acknowledge her.” No matter how ridiculous Heather was back then,
the Xander family bloodline had to be recognized.

“I just did the public acknowledgment,” Lee said. “Yes, let’s arrange a family dinner for her. She has to
know her family. Let’s arrange a room for her at the Xander’s residence. She can stay near my ce, ”
Old Mr. Xander said. “Dad, there’s no need. She can stay at my ce. We haven’t seen each other for
20 years. We need to build our rtionship,” Lee said.
