Chapter 715
I’m dead. President Fuller and Miss Reed aren’t going to let me go. I stopped my question mid-way
because I know that it maye off as offensive. Although Miss Reed may be displeased with my
actions, she wouldn''t have done anything to me since I didn’t finish my question. She wouldn’t have
a reason to attack me. But now that Jessica finished my question and pointed out that I was the one
who asked it... Miss Reed and President Fuller are both going to hate me! While fear consumed the
female reporter, she also felt a sudden surge of hatred toward Jessica.
The female reporter turned to give
Jessica a hateful look. She had Jessica’s face etched in her memory. If I survive Miss Reed and
President Fuller’s punishment, I will make sure to get revenge on this woman. I’m going to ensure
that she spends the rest of her life dealing with scandals, even if some are only half-true. Jessica
had no idea how much the female reporter was offended by her actions, so she simply let out a
scoff as she looked at Sonia. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you want to admit that you’re
Miss Lina and another man’s child?”
Toby’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he shut the files in his hands with a loud smack. He was
about to take Sonia’s microphone to say something, but Sonia shook her head at him. “I’ll do this on
my own,” she uttered. Then, she took the files from Toby before she stood up and threw Jessica a
dirty re. “I’m sorry for disappointing you. I’m not Dad’s biological daughter, but I’m not Mom’s
biological daughter either. So, your ims about my mother betraying my father and having affairs
with other men just sounds like a huge joke to me.”

“What?” Everyone was shocked the moment Sonia finished her words. “Lina didn’t give birth to
you?!” Jessica cried out in shock.
Meanwhile, Titus and Julia were watching the press conference live stream from the hospital. They
had been waiting to see how things would turn out for Sonia, but they were both stunned the
moment they heard Sonia’s announcement. “I can’t believe Sonia isn’t Henry and Lina’s daughter."
Titus frowned.
Julia nodded her head dazedly. “I-It seems like it’s true.”
“How could that be?” Titus had a look of disbelief on his pale, sickly face. “How could Sonia not be
Henry and Lina’s child? I recall seeing Lina pregnant.” “Yeah.” Julia nodded. “Lina and I got
pregnant in the same year, but she was due three months earlier than me. We even gave birth in
the same hospital, and we both had daughters. Everyone in the circle knows this! How could Sonia
not be Henry and Lina’s daughter? If she isn’t their child, then where did their biological daughter
go?” The atmosphere in the room turned awkward once Julia uttered her question.
Titus merely squinted and stared at the TV without answering Julia. After looking at him for a while,
Julia decided to shift her focus back to the TV as well. For some reason, Julia felt a surge of
emotionsing up within her the moment she heard Sonia say that she wasn’t Henry and Lina’s
biological daughter. Julia’s emotions made her more attentive toward this matter, and it made her
more desperate to find out about the truth.
At the same time, Rina was watching the press conference in the Gray Residence. When she heard
Sonia announcing that she wasn’t Lina’s biological daughter, her expression did a 360 as she leapt
out of the couch. The fruit knife that she had been holding fell to the ground with a loud ng, but
Rina was too flustered to be bothered. Sh*t. Why did Sonia talk about this? I wouldn’t feel so
anxious if she had just said that she wasn''t Henry’s daughter. But now that her rtionship with Lina
is revealed, a lot of people are going to be curious about her true identity. If Sonia talks about her
blood type and the mark on her body to prove that she isn''t Henry and Lina’s daughter, then Mom
and Dad might realize something. They might find out that Sonia is their daughter!
Rina sank her teeth into her bottom lip as her eyes darted around frantically. She knew that she had
toe up with an idea. There was no way for her to stop Sonia from talking, so the only thing Rina
could do was to distract and confuse Titus and Julia. I don’t know if Mom and Dad are watching the
press conference or not, and I don''t know if Sonia will talk about her birthmark or not, but I have to
rush to the hospital now to distract Mom and Dad. At that thought, Rina picked her bag up and
marched toward the exit of the vi.
Back at the press conference, Sonia tugged her lips into a smirk when she saw Jessica’s look of
utter shock and disbelief. “That’s right. I’m not Lina’s child, either. So, I’m not some illegitimate
daughter who has to feel ashamed of anything.” “No! That’s impossible!” Jessica shook her head in
denial. All the reporters and viewers of the live stream had their jaws hanging open upon hearing
this news.
“Sh*t! What’s going on right now? Didn’t they say that the ex-wife of Miss Jessica’s dad had an
affair with another man? Why isn’t that the case now?”
“No, no. My mind is a total mess now.” All the reporters were discussing among themselves for a
while before one individual finally couldn’t resist the urge to question Sonia. He took a deep breath
before speaking. “What’s going on, Miss Reed? Can you give us more details regarding this
matter?’ “Of course.” Sonia spread her red lips into a smile. “To tell you the truth, Henry and Lina
adopted me when I was a baby.”
“You’re lying!” Jessica pointed at Sonia as she protested. “This can’t be true. This must be one of
your lies. You just don’t want to admit that you’re a product of Lina’s love affair with another man.”
“A product?’ Sonia narrowed her eyes as she repeated Jessica’s words. The air around Sonia
turned cold as Toby’s face darkened. If they had been in Fuller Group, Toby would have taught the
girl a lesson and let her know the consequences of not
watching her words.
Sonia could sense the fury of the man beside her, so she patted him on the thigh to tell him to calm
down. Then, she stared at Jessica with a mocking grin. “I know why you’re finding it hard to
recognize that I’m an adopted daughter. It’s because our whole globe applies the same set ofws
to adopted children—it’s that adopted children possess equal rights to one’s family inheritance. You
hope that I’m an illegitimate daughter instead of an adopted one, because I wouldn’t be able to
inherit anything from the Reed Family if I were an illegitimate daughter. Am I right?”
Jessica had to avoid Sonia’s eyes—she felt self-conscious as Sonia’s words had been spot on.
Sonia smirked as she continued. “It’s a shame that things didn’t go the way you nned. My
parents adopted me 26 years ago, and theypleted the adoption procedures at the Public
Security Bureau. Here’s a photocopied version of the documents.” Sonia ced the files on the
meeting table. “The original copy is in one of the storage areas of the Public Security Bureau. If the
media needs more evidence on the validity of this, they can contact the Public Security Bureau for
more information. I can’t possibly get the Public Security Bureau to forge documents for me, right?”
The moment Sonia finished her words, people on the Inte instantly found Seafield’s Public
Security Bureau’s announcement. They had validated Sonia’s words. This proved that Sonia had
been adopted and had gone through the necessary procedures.
Furthermore, since it was an official adoption, it meant that Sonia was part of the Reed Family
although they weren’t rted by blood and possessed the same rights as Jessica did. In that case,
what Jessica uttered about Lina cheating on Henry was clearly a lie.
“Can we take a look al the adoption documents, Miss Reed?” a reporter asked.
