Chapter 457
"Had it not been for you, she wouldn''t have ended up like this. You ruined your own flesh and blood
with your own hands!"
At those words, Leonora''s eyes widened in disbelief. "No way, how did ra not die? Heidi didn''t
end up severely burnt. You''re lying to me. I won''t believe it!" She grabbed Paolo by his shirt, her
hands itching to strangle the life out of him.
Just then, the prison cafeteria''s TV was airing the news. On the screen, Leonora saw ra.
Dressed in a light blue mermaid dress, ra stood beside Ian, surrounded by the York family, each
member taking their turn to toast with her.
"Here''s a brief news update: the prestigious York family has found their granddaughter who went
missing over twenty years ago. Last night, a grand family reunion feast was held at the York
mansion.
The undefeated legal eagle ra turns out to be the jewel of the York family. Her love story with
Ian, the CEO of Hayes Corporation, has won the hearts ofizens everywhere. Now, with the
Yorks and Hayes families joining forces, the city has a new true power couple."
Watching the reporter''s segment, Leonora felt as if she was going mad. Her daughter was left badly
burned, and that bitched ra was weed back by the York family with open arms.
Everything Leonara had done was for naught.
She slumped to the floor with a thud, wailing in agony. The other inmates in the cafeteria cast
disdainful looks her way. The on-duty guard approached, nudging Leonora''s shoe with his foot, and
said in a cold tone, "Leonora, cut the drama. You''ve got a visitor."
Hearing about a visitor, Leonora immediately stifled her sobs. She had to seize any chance to get
out. She couldn''t let her daughter suffer like this, nor could she allow ra and Ian to live so
blissfully.
Scrambling up from the floor, she rushed to the visiting room, full of hope. But upon seeing who it
was, her face twisted in disappointment. She red at Edwin and demanded, "Why are you here?"
Edwin smirked, "Who did you expect? Someone from your old crew? Leonora, you''ve been
discarded a long time ago. Did you really think anyone woulde to save you?"
Leonora stared daggers at him. "You think that ra will be happy by restoring her to her family?
That''s too naive. I''ll make sure ra experiences the same agony Heidi suffered."
Edwin''s eyes turned steely. "So you admit that Heidi is you and Paolo''s daughter, is that it?"

"I''m surprised you found out so quickly. Yes, she is me and Paolo''s child, and I am the one who
killed May. Imagine ra''s reaction when she finds out her newfound mother was murdered by the
mother of the man she loves. Do you think she and Ian can still make it?" Leonora threw her head
back andughed maniacally.
Edwin clenched his fists tightly. His suspicions were correct.
Paolo had an affair with Leonora, who had gotten pregnant outside her marriage and used a
mountain climbing ident as a cover for a miscarriage. In reality, she had secretly given birth to
Heidi and then killed May, a ssic case of baby-switching.
Furious at the thought, Edwin bit down hard on his teeth. "Leonora, don''t you want to see the state
your daughter is in now?" He pulled out his phone and yed a video.
As Leonora saw Heidi on the screen, she shook her head frantically in denial. "This can''t be Heidi.
You must be lying to me!"
Edwin pocketed his phone, his gaze harsh as he stared her down. "Don''t worry, I''ll make sure you
suffer just as much for your misdeeds, just like her!"
