Chapter 457: L White


    That night, J went back to Barnes with her parents. Bernes was known as the capital of ancient


    culture. Unlike Seacisco which was a developed, urbanized city, Barnes carried with it a long history of


    cultural heritage. The White family’s mansion sat quaintly in the middle of a ssical-style garden. The


    mansion was huge, and the stone sculptures nking the grand door gave a glimpse at just how rich and


    powerful the Whites were.


    “Your grandfather lived in this house. I wanted us to move out before, but your father didn’t agree. He’s


    too sentimental.” Johanna noticed that J kept looking around the mansion with wide eyes, so she


    thought that J didn’t like it.


    “If you want to live in an apartment or a vi, we can move out.”


    J waved her hand quickly.


    “No, it’s okay. I’ve never lived in a ce like this before. I’ve only ever seen it on TV. Now that I’m


    actually standing in it, I just wanted to take a closer look at its details.”


    Johanna looked around the mansion alongside J and her expression softened. With a loving smile,


    she said gently, “It will all be yours in the future. You’ll have plenty of time to look around.”


    “Mom, what on earth are you saying?” A sweet voice interrupted the conversation between J and


    Johanna J turned in the direction of the voice. A woman in a pink floral dress and a pale grey


    sweater was standing in the yard.


    The woman’s eyes and brows were somewhat simr to that of J’s. They both looked smart and


    charming, but there was a hint of arrogance in the woman’s eyes. Johanna frowned immediately when


    she saw the girl.


    “L! You have to put on a coat whenever you leave the house! It’s January now—the coldest time of the


    year!” L pouted and threw herself into Johanna’s arms, acting very much like a spoiled child.


    “Mom, I just wanted to see you sooner. The servant told me you were finally back, so I came as fast as I


    could. What have you and Dad been up to these days? I didn’t see you at the office.”


    She peeked at J and asked curiously, “Who’s that? You never bring strangers home.”


    Johanna ced her hands on L’s shoulders and pushed her away firmly. With a hardened expression,


    she said, “Let’s talk inside. Dad and I have to tell you something important.”


    L frowned. She obviously picked up on Johanna’s indifference to her. Something was definitely off.She


    took a sidelong nce at J before nodding and following her mother inside the house.


    “What?! Impossible! Is this a prank? Mom, Dad, you can stop teasing me now.”


    Upon hearing the whole story, L immediately sprang out of her seat indignantly.


    She couldn’t ept the cruel truth. In the span of mere minutes, she had be a child who was


    brought home by mistake instead of the esteemed daughter of the Whites she was a moment earlier.

    Johanna picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip. She was afraid that L would me


    herself if she told her that her parents had switched the babies out on purpose, so she just said that it


    was all a big mistake.


    “Tell me you’re joking!” L’s eyes suddenly brimmed with tears.


    Her carefree life was aboute to an end.


    Beal and Johanna felt bad when they saw that L was about to cry.


    Pretending to be rxed, Beal walked up to L and patted her shoulderfortingly.


    “L, we only told you this because we think you deserve to know the truth. We won’t interfere with your


    choice. If you want to remain our daughter, you can stay as our adopted daughter. J was lost to us


    for too long. We have to take her back into our family.”


    L gritted her teeth, looked at Beal angrily, and spat, “If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t have


    told me the truth.”


    Without waiting for a response, she stumbled and turned around to storm off. Suddenly, her eyes met


    J’s. This woman had stolen her parents.


    After giving J a hard look, L ran to her room. The minute she was gone, Beal and Johanna sighed.


    They knew that the truth would hurt L, but they had no choice. J was a little worried about her new


    sister.


    “We should go to her. What if she go to extremes?” “Don’t worry. L just needs time to ept the truth.


    Just leave her alone for now.” Johanna waved her hand dismissively. She knew L well. Their priority


    now was to announce to the public that J was their long-lost biological daughter.
