    Julian, I swear I’m not lying!” Ruth said, looking up at


    Thr


    police officer squinted suspiciously. “If you found a child, you should have reported it to the


    authorities. It’s pretty coincidental that you found one right after losing yours. If there’s any suspicion


    of child abduction. “


    Ruth quickly shook her head in fear. “I really found her, Officer. I swear I’m not lying. Besides, that


    liule girl wouldn’t have survived without me. She would’ve been gone a long time ago


    Julian couldn’t take it anymore. He sneered and said. “If you hadn’t taken her in, maybe she


    would’ve had a better life”


    It like a p in the face,


    He knew all too well the kind of life Valerie was living. Ruth’s hypocrisy felt


    Moreover, if Valerie was truly the Anderson family’s daughter like people said, with the Anderson


    family’s persistent efforts to find her, they should have located her by now, Julian couldn’t fathom


    how Ruth managed to conceal Valerie so effectively yet abused her all this time.


    Besides, even if Valerie wasn’t their biological daughter, they couldn’t just sell her. Julian couldn’t


    wrap his head around how his parents had sunk to this level. The news was truly shocking, he


    hadn’t expected them to be capable of such madness.


    Ruth’s face hardened as she confronted her son. Gripping Julian firmly, she said, Julian, Valerie


    may not be my flesh and blood, but you are. You can’t just cast the aside like this, not after


    everything”


    Julian felt deeply disappointed by Ruth’s response, it seemed she was beyond repentance at this


    stage, leaving him feeling hopeless.


    As Julian walked away, Ruth tried to go after him but the police stopped her, Yelling out, she said,


    “Julian, you’ve gotta help me out here! I’m your mom, your real mom! If Matthew doesn’t let me go


    and I end up in jail, it’s gonna mess things up for you and Aiden too. Please, you gotta do


    something


    Julian ignored Ruth’s pleas and didn’t even know if he had the courage to visit the hospital. Deep


    down, he had always seen Valerie as his sister, a true member of their family. Biological or not, she


    was his only sister.


    Seeing him return, Katherine quickly asked, Julian, what’s wrong?”


    Julian shook his head sadly. “Mom admitted that Valerie was adopted. My real sister has been


    gone for a long time. But to me, Valerie will always be my sister in my heart. Matthew, please take


    care of Valerie She’s done so much for this family. And please, don’t let her have any contact with


    my parents ever again.


    Julian’s words reflected deep disappointment, showing just how much he had reached his limit.


    Ruth and the others seemed beyond hope. Matthew understood the gravity of Julian’s words. From


    now on, there was no reason for Valerie and the Warren family to remain involved. In the past, no


    matter how hard Valerie tried to escape, the Warren family and Ethan’s shamelessness always


    pulled her back into the mud, Bur looking forward, it would be different. She no longer felt indebted


    to the Warren family.


    Instead, it was undeniable that the Warren family owed her. The way they had treated her was just


    in despicable.


    Did Ruth say that Valerie was adopted? Matthew pondered for a moment and sneered. “I’m afraid


    what Ruth said isn’t all. She favors boys over girls. Even if her daughter dies, she’s just a burden to


    her. How can she adops Vallie just because she misses her child!


    “Ten afraid she’s still keeping things from us. We’ll have to track down Ethan and get the full story


    from him. As for Vallie, I can’t help but feel sorry for her Matthew remarked.


    There were too many questionable details. Even the story of the deceasedological daughter


    didn’t quite fit. It all seemed like a puzzle.


    Upon hearing this, Olivia promptly remarked, “Sarah has suffered because of them. Let the police


    deal with whatever that couple did. When Saral? wakes up, I want to take a good look at her. She’s


    been through a lot.”


    Matthew frowned slightly, feeling it necessary to gently remind the olddy at this point, despite


    knowing it might be inappropriate.


    “Mr. Andenon, the might not be Sarah. Even though Sarahi also has clothes buried in the back


    mountain, it might not actually be her. It could just be a simr model,” Matthew exined, feeling


    uneasy as the situation remained unresolved.

    But Olivia was resolute. “No, that can’t be Valerie in my Saral. I felt an immediate bond with her a


    aren’t many girls who can do thus to me. If it’s not her, then who he could it possibly bet


    and I truly cherish her. It feels destined. There
