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 <b>said</b>. “If you hadn’t taken her in, maybe she would’ve had a better life”
It like <b>a </b>p in the face,
He knew all too <b>well </b>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 <b>around </b>how his parents <b>had </b>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 <b>just </b>cast the aside like <b>this</b>, 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 <b>said</b>, “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. <b>Please</b>, you gotta <b>do </b>something
Julian ignored Ruth’s pleas and <b>didn’t </b>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<b>, </b><b>what’s </b>wrong?”
Julian shook his head <b>sadly</b>. “Mom admitted that Valerie <b>was </b>adopted. My real sister <b>has </b>been gone for a long time. But to <b>me</b><b>, </b>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 <b>and </b>the Warren family to remain involved. In the past, no matter how hard Valerie tried to escape, the Warren <b>family </b>and Ethan’s shamelessness <b>always </b>pulled her <b>back </b>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 <b>had </b>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 <b>favors </b>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. <b>As </b>for Vallie, I <b>can’t </b>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. <b>It </b>all seemed like a puzzle.
Upon hearing this, <b>Olivia </b>promptly remarked, “Sarah has suffered because of them. Let the police deal <b>with </b>whatever that couple did. When Saral? wakes up, I want to <b>take </b><b>a </b><b>good </b>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 <b>be </b><b>a </b>simr model,” Matthew exined, feeling uneasy as the situation remained unresolved.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
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 <b>he </b>could it possibly bet
and I truly cherish her. It feels destined. There
