Noticing the doubt in her eyes, Milly smiled and said, “You don’t need to be too surprised. There’s a reason behind this. You can probably tell that I wouldn’t normally live in such a small house, but due to certain circumstances and my unique position, I need a house like this to deal with paparazzi and interviews. That’s why I need to buy it.” 

“Of course, I’m not helping for free. The extra 15 thousand dollars will be used to buy your silence. I hope none of you will mention our house purchase to anyone. As for the money, you should use it for yourself and not give it away, even to your daughter. Is that clear?” 

Thud! The medicine bottle that had just fallen hit the ground again. 

Ivan stared at Milly, his fingers trembling. This time, he forgot to pick up the bottle. 

It’s over. Did Ms. Milly figure it out? 

Milly was much calmer. She glanced at the bottle on the ground, then raised an eyebrow and said, “Mr. Ivan, please pick up the medicine.” 

Ivan snapped back to reality. He quickly bowed down to wipe the cold sweat off his face before picking up the bottle. 

As soon as he straightened up, he saw the icy–cold gaze of his boss. 

His fingers trembled again and nearly dropping the bottle. 

It’s over. My boss must think my acting is awful and Ms. Milly had figured it out. 

Oh, how unjust! I didn’t know Ms. Milly is so smart 

Is it too late to apply to film school now? 

Actually, Milly hadn’t thought that much. She was doing this to pave her own way. After all, the interview video would be broadcast eventually. Once it aired, Stephanie would definitely figure something out, and this couldn’t be hidden. 

Given Stephanie’s temperament, she would be furious and try to make Viola return the house. After all, she was suspicious and vain. How could she stand having her poor biological parents connected to her? 

The 15 thousand dollars were to make sure that when the time came, Viola would be embarrassed to return the money. This would leave Stephanie paranoid and prone to self–doubt. 

Wouldn’t that put the initiative in her hands? Even if Stephanie wanted to make trouble, she’d have to think twice. 

Viola hadn’t noticed the tense atmosphere between them. She relaxed upon realizing they meant not harm, saying, “Of course. You bought this house, so you can handle it as you see fit. We should be thanking 

you.” 

She looked at Milly with a look full of gratitude, as if she were a savior. 

Not all rich people look down on others; some are kind–hearted.

dressed and elegant, but when she came, she only pointed fingers and complained, blaming them for disrupting her wealthy life. 

Why were they trying to reclaim her? 

Stephanie was her own flesh and blood–a child she had fought desperately to keep. How could she not want to find her? 

Years ago, when she gave birth prematurely, the doctors advised her to let go of the baby. But she was determined to keep this little life. The baby was born safely, but she suffered severe hemorrhaging and lay in the emergency room for three days before she was out of danger. 

Their entire family pinned their hopes on this child. Then misfortune struck. At a little over a year old, she was kidnapped while playing outside the apartment. It felt like the sky had fallen for the family. 

After that, there were ceaseless reports, frantic searches, and even the pursuit of rumors. If someone made a casual remark about seeing a child who looked like theirs, they would immediately head to that city to search. This went on for ten years. 

They spent all their savings searching for their daughter. Eventually, Rita fell ill due to the hardships of the search. They had no choice but to pause their efforts and slowly earn money to pay for her treatment, which took five years. 

They unexpectedly found an abandoned baby boy in a trash can during their search, possibly out of pity for their inability to have more children or sympathy for their lost child. 

The baby was so small and weak that he couldn’t be sent to an orphanage. They took him to the hospital. that night and borrowed money for his treatment. Later, they slowly nursed him back to health. A week later, the boy was out of danger. During that time, they grew attached to him and couldn’t bear to send him to an orphanage, so they adopted him. 

Despite this, they never forgot their biological daughter. They did everything they could to look for her, but their efforts yielded very little information. 

Until a few days ago. 

A well–dressed man showed up with a stack of photos, claiming to have found their daughter. They needed DNA samples for confirmation. 

His words injected a ray of light into their stagnant lives. They didn’t dare question the authenticity of the promise and immediately offered everything they could. For the next few days, they were sleepless, praying for a miracle to happen. 

A few days later, the man found them again, showing them documents with a match rate of 99%. He had confirmed that the girl they mentioned was indeed their biological daughter. That man also informed them that she would be meeting them shortly. 

The family was ecstatic. That very evening, they informed all their relatives and friends, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their biological daughter. Even Rita was thrilled that she climbed up from the bed with a big smile. 

Just as she had imagined, her daughter had grown into a beautiful, independent young woman. She was stunning and sensible, and her features resembled her own youthful self. However… 

When she arrived, she was furious. She accused them of ruining her life, claiming they were trying to

climb the social ladder and calling them leeches. She warned them not to seek her out again, stating that their poverty made her sick. 

This incident deeply upset Rita and it worsened her condition. In desperation, they had no choice but to sell their house to pay for medical treatment. Fortunately, they encountered these kind–hearted people who solved their urgent needs. 

To this day, they still don’t know their biological daughter’s name. 

Since the journalists knew Jordan and Philip, Milly had them leave first. A Maybach parked at the entrance would attract too much attention. 

When the reporters arrived, they had just left.
