Chapter 1440
Dahlia was standing very far back in the crowd.
It took her quite a bit of effort to squeeze her way to the front row.
When she finally spotted the woman Trevor was leading, she felt a sense of familiarity.
As she began furrowing her brows, the woman lifted her head.
Dahlia was shocked to see who the true heiress of the Saun family was.
She could not help but yell out, "Ste?!" The scream was incredibly abrupt in the otherwise quiet
atmosphere.
Ste paused for a moment, casting a faint nce toward the audience.
When she met Ste''s indifferent gaze, Dahlia instantly felt a chill down her spine.
''What in the world...
How could the Sauns'' long- lost daughter be her?! How is this possible?!'' She thought.

Dahlia had gone to great lengths to separate Keegan and Ste.
And now, the heiress she wanted him to marry was none other than the ex-daughter-inw she had
driven away.
‘This is absolutely absurd!'' Dahlia''s face turned pale.
Aurora was also shocked by the realization but did not lose herposure.
She gently whispered to Dahlia, "Mom, are you alright?" Dahlia thought about all the wicked things she
had done to Ste before, and a wave of panic washed over her.
She could not bear to imagine how the Saun family would treat her if they knew about the drugs she
had administered to Ste.
"Mom?" Aurora called out again.
Dahlia snapped back to reality and said, "I-I''m feeling a bit tired.
T''ll head back first." Without waiting for Aurora to say anything, she hurriedly left the scene.
Olivia''s lips curled upward as she saw Dahlia''s distress from a short distance away.
If it were not for the asion, she would have liked to go over and make a sarcastic remark or two.
Trevor stood in the center of the stage with Ste, and Wenham gazed at his daughter with tender
affection.
He grabbed the microphone and said, "Everyone, let me introduce my daughter, Ste.
Many of you probably know her or have seen her on TV.
But today, she stands here simply as my daughter." "I''m very grateful to Madam Spade for caring for
Ste over the years.
She had raised her well.
Unfortunately, I did not have the chance to personally thank Madam Spade when she was still with us.
She''s my family''s benefactor, and we will forever be grateful.
“We''re hosting this banquet today not only to formally wee Ste back into our family, but we also
hope all of you will remember her face.
If you have the opportunity to interact with her in the future or if she encounters any difficulties, we
hope you can lend her a helping hand.
Our family will be deeply grateful and will surely repay your kindness." Wenham''s affection for his
daughter was evident by how he was asking everyone to help her.
It was clear he wanted to pave a smooth path for her future.
Since Ste was previously known as the daughter of the Jewell family, no one had thought about her
connection with the Sauns.
Now that she was standing next to Trevor, people were starting to realize the two indeed looked alike.
Those who had mocked Ste for being abandoned by Keegan before were no longerughing.
None of them thought she experienced so many ups and downs with her seemingly great life.
"Ste, would you like to say a few words?" Wenham handed the microphone to Ste, and she took it.
While she was good with words when she was with Keegan, she could not help but feel a little nervous
in this situation.
Her hand holding the microphone started sweating.
She looked down at the audience and saw Keegan standing not far away, gazing at her with
tenderness in his eyes.
Seeing that she had not started speaking yet, Keegan teased her by mouthing, " Scaredy-cat." The
method of provocation worked well on Ste.
Herpetitive spirit immediately kicked in after he said that.
“Thank you all for taking the time to attend this banquet amidst your busy schedules.
I''m very d that you could witness an extremely important moment in my life..."
