Chapter 428


    ra’s head mmed against the deck with a bone-chilling thud. The pain radiated through her


    skull. Crimson blood trickled down from her forehead.


    Despite the pain, ra’s ears tuned into Heidi’s words. She spoke of the Campbell family’s


    daughter, as if ra had any im to that title.


    What did the Campbell family have to do with her?


    With eyes bloodshot, ra red at Heidi. “You must be mistaken. I’m Casey’s child. I have


    nothing to do with the Campbell family.”


    Heidi’s response was a sinisterugh. “Is that baby in your belly so precious to them that they can’t


    even tell you the truth? Well, if no one dares to spill the beans, I will. They’re afraid you might lose


    the baby in a fit of emotion, but not me. I’d love nothing more than for that child to die inside you.”


    “Listen up, ra. You’re not Casey and Victoria’s daughter. You’re the long-lost daughter of the


    Campbell family, the one with the petal birthmark.


    “You’re Paolo and May’s child. Bet you didn’t see thating, right? That man who’s always at


    odds with you, he’s your real father.


    “Ha! To save me, he’d hurt his own daughter. If you die today, it’s on him. In other words, he’s


    indirectly responsible for your death.”


    ra’s head throbbed, but she quickly sifted through her thoughts. She was May and Paolo’s child.


    So, Edwin’s care, Marian’s affection, even James’ kindness — it wasn’t just because of Ian. It was


    because she was the one they had been searching for.


    Realization struck ra like a lightning bolt, and her eyes widened in disbelief. Overwhelmed by the


    truth, she shook her head in denial. “Impossible. My dad is Casey. I have no connection with the


    Campbell family. You are lying!”

    Heidi kicked at ra’s belly, spitting out venomously, “Did you really think my grudges against you


    were all about Ian? No, it’s because if they ever took you back, I’d lose my ce as the daughter of


    the Campbell family. That’s my spot, and I won’t let anyone take it from me!”


    She shook ra violently, causing a dizzy spell and waves of pain in ra’s belly. ra fought to


    clear her head, pleading, “Heidi, even if what you’re saying is true, I won’t fight you for the title of the


    Campbell family daughter. I have only one father, and his name is Casey. Just let me go, and I


    promise you can return to the Campbell family without facing any legal consequences.”


    Heidiughed off ra’s proposition, her scorn clear as day. “Think I can go back now? ra, I


    know you have the gift of the gab. You could talk a dead man back to life, but not today. No matter


    what you say, I won’t let you go. You’ve stolen my man and my statue. How could I let that slide so


    easily?”


    “You’re going to die right here!”


    After she said that, Heidi’s foot connected with ra’s belly, sending her sliding meters backward


    until she crashed against a pir.


    A sharp pain erupted from her lower belly. ray on the ground, trapped and defenseless under


    Heidi’s assault. She curled up, trying to protect the child within her, but the more she coiled, the


    more Heidi targeted her belly.


    Finally, ra summoned every ounce of strength, pushed herself off the ground, and charged at


    Heidi like a wild beast. Heidi was sent flying, tumbling several meters beforending in a heap on


    the ground.
