Chapter 142


    The kid was going to be reimed by her original family, and naturally, he was over the moon. He


    called Brielle again, but this time her phone was switched off directly.


    Meanwhile, Miranda’s phone rang, and she quickly answered It.


    “Ms. Faith.”


    “How’s the situation over there?”


    Miranda didn’t dare hide anything, still clinging to hope. Plus, the doctor said they both needed a new


    DNA test, which seemed to confirm her suspicions.


    Miranda’s mind raced, even more convinced that Lillian was a true Haywood, but what she didn’t know


    was that Lillian couldn’t care less about the Haywoods now.

    “Bri and Lillian both need a new DNA test, but I can’t reach Bri at the moment. so…”


    “She’s with me. I’ll bring her over.


    Miranda breathed a sigh of relief. As long as


    they could find her, they should get the results

    soon. “Good, the doctor is on standby. We’re Just waiting for Bri.”


    Faith hung up with a tight–lipped smirk. She had wanted to give Brielle a hard time, but luck was on the


    girl’s side.


    With a snort and a dismissive gesture, she ordered, “Bring her. We’re going to the orphanage.”


    The bodyguards didn’t dare object and quickly unlocked the door to the dark room.


    Brielle was on the verge of a breakdown. When she noticed the sliver of light, she looked up greedily.


    The cold snakes and terrifying centipedes had been crawling around her, some even winding around


    her ankles. She couldn’t move, staying still as if she were lifeless..


    “Lucky you, otherwise you’d be in here for days.”


    “Enough talk, get her out of here.”


    The bodyguards each took an arm and escorted Brielle out. They too were eager to leave the dark


    room, feeling the chills even from a single extra second inside.


    Brielle was too exhausted to speak and simply closed her eyes.


    The car sped along. Faith eager for the results, and soon they were at the orphanage. When the car


    stopped, Brielle was shoved out by the bodyguards.


    Her face was swollen, her lips still bleeding, and her eyes were bloodshot, looking utterly miserable.


    Seeing the long–missed lights, she squinted, the disgusting sensation of being entwined by cold–


    blooded creatures finally fading.


    However, upon spotting Mark in the distance, her smile faded. She didn’t want him to see her in such a


    sorry state.

    Chapter 142


    Mark had sharp eyes. Seeing her swollen face, he hurried over, “Brielle, what happened? Who did this


    to you?”


    Awkwardly, Brielle wiped the blood from her lips, “Mark, I’m fine.”


    Mark’s eyes reddened, unable to help ncing at Miranda and Robert. He didn’t know them well, but


    he had met them once when they came to take Brielle from the orphanage. He hadn’t recognized them


    at first, but now he put two and two together. “Isn’t Brielle your child? How could you let her be treated


    this way?”


    Miranda and Robert were ufortable. They had promised to give Brielle a good life when they took


    her away. Miranda spoke up first, “Bri, you’re here. Mark said you both need to do another DNA test.”


    Robert stood by, ncing at the bruise on Brielle’s cheek, silent.


    Mark was infuriated by their attitude, almost unable to catch his breath, but what angered him even


    more was the arrival of Faith. She had always looked down on the orphanage over property disputes,


    so her greeting was less than gracious. “Shouldn’t she be used to it? Brielle’s nothing but an ant to me.


    If I want her alive, she lives. If I want her dead, she has to die.”
