Meredith stoodposed and confident, her demeanor unsettling Joy Chaucer deeply. Prepared for this encounter, Meredith was not about to let Joy seed.


    Before the handwriting experts could even begin, Joy panicked, “Who knows if you’ve bribed these people?”


    “Scared, are you?” Meredith scoffed. “Joy Chaucer, the truth cannot be disguised, nor can lies be truth. You’ve always known that you are not Bianca’s daughter; you are Chloe’s. You and your mother conspired to take over thepany, but as long as I’m here, you won’t touch a single thread of it.”


    Joy Chaucer was in disbelief. “No, how could I be Chloe’s daughter? Chloe is my aunt, Meredith, you are talking nonsense.”


    The revtion was too much for Joy to process immediately. She knew she was not a true Chaucer, but had no idea she was Chloe’s daughter, a fact Chloe never hinted at. Chloe, unmarried, where would a daughtere from? In Joy’s view, Meredith was fabricating stories.


    The board members watched the altercation silently, unsure of the truth.


    The handwriting experts disyed their identification, stating, “Our agency ismitted to fairness and honesty, and we will legally stand by our results.”


    Meredith, aiming to convince, had chosen the most authoritative agency in the capital.


    “You’re afraid of the verification, aren’t you, Joy Chaucer? Dream on about taking over thepany with a forged transfer document.”


    Joy Chaucer didn’t dare proceed with the verification; the truth would ruin her.


    “Why should I listen to you? This transfer document was signed by my mother, I watched her sign it,” Joy protested, holding up the document. “I’ve been back with the Chaucer family for eleven years. If I weren’t her biological daughter, why would she only say so now? Meredith, this is just a vendetta, using the Sterling family’s influence to manipte things.”


    Meredith admired Joy’s eloquence despite the circumstances: “Joy Chaucer, you’ve really grown, quite the speaker. Well then, let’s all watch a video.”


    Linda, holding aptop, walked up to the podium and yed a video of Chloe and Joy Chaucer talking on a balcony. Chloe admitted in the video that Joy was not Bianca’s daughter.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    The undeniable evidence left Joy pale and speechless.


    A senior board member stood up, realizing the truth. “I trust Mrs. Chaucer’s decisions; she has led us to grow alongside Falconer Holdings. Meredith indeed resembles Mrs. Chaucer as she was in her youth. I believe Meredith is the true daughter of Mrs. Chaucer.”


    “Yes,” echoed other directors. “And about the will’s signature, we don’t need verification to see it’s genuine. Mrs. Chaucer had a habit of leaving the final ‘r’ disconnected, which the ‘r’ on this transfer document does not.”


    Observing the signature, the other directors noticed the discrepancy.


    Seizing the moment of Joy’s vulnerability, Meredith snatched the transfer document from her and handed it to the experts. “Please verify this.”


    As Joy attempted to intervene, Selene stepped forward, blocking her. “Behave yourself.”
