Chapter 90: Chapter 90

"So that’s how it is. It’s really unexpected that Lucy is the child your mom picked up. You can take this chance to show goodwill towards Lucy, after all, she’s not your mom’s biological daughter. Not raising her is understandable; at least she saved her life, right? She’s married to Nathaniel, so if she says a few nice words to Jacob, it would probably be very helpful."

Stellan thought it made sense, "I’ll talk with my mom when she gets back."

"You mentioned your biological brother earlier; I’m actually a bit curious. Was that the Prime Minister with your mom...?"

"I don’t know, my mom didn’t tell me."

Lucy went with Autumn Fletcher to get a DNA test at the most reputable institution in Ningham City, ensuring there would be no fraudulent components since there was a signed agreement that falsification would incur legal consequences.

After waiting several hours, the results showed they were indeed not mother and daughter.

"See that?" Autumn Fletcher looked at her, "I’m not your biological mother."

"That’s truly fortunate." Lucy looked at her, "You’re not my biological mother, and that’s an incomparably joyous event. At least I have hope to look forward to what kind of person my biological mother might be."

"Stop dreaming." Autumn Fletcher’s face was cold, "Since she abandoned you, do you think your biological mother could be a good person?"

"Whether she’s a good person or not, I’ll determine that myself. How do I know if your words are true? You said you picked me up on the way back? Should I just believe that? Since when have you held such authority in front of me?"

Autumn Fletcher hesitated before speaking, "Are you really going to search?"

"Certainly," Lucy said coldly, "Even if the truth is exactly as you say, so what? From childhood to adulthood, what haven’t I experienced? What could be worse than thinking you are my biological mother?"

"In fact, when we picked you up, Oliver Eaton and I were curious about whose child you were." Autumn Fletcher continued, "We later learned that your biological parents died in a car accident. Your father was already an orphan, and your mother’s family side didn’t want to raise you, so they abandoned you, hoping you’d grow well in another family. So I think there’s no need to search anymore; I’m telling you the truth."

"Since you know all this, could you please tell me my mother’s family’s address? I want to confirm myself. If it’s as you say, it indeed doesn’t warrant further searching."

"It’s been so many years, I’ve mostly forgotten. I’ll go back and call Oliver Eaton to ask, and I’ll send you a message afterwards."

"Alright, then I’ll wait for your information."

Autumn Fletcher nodded and went back.

This matter grew increasingly enigmatic.

The family she thought was hers was not really her relatives.

Lucy, for this reason, specially returned to Ainsworth Village in the evening.

Seeing her return, Lucy’s grandparents paused for several seconds before coming to their senses.

"Didn’t you say you don’t acknowledge us anymore? Why did you come back?!"

"I came back to ask about something." Lucy’s voice was crisp and cold, "Today, I did a parentage test with Autumn Fletcher. Autumn Fletcher isn’t my biological mother at all; she says Oliver Eaton and she picked me up. Did you know about this?"

"We knew." Old Master Ainsworth replied, "You were a found child, but didn’t your grandma and I still raise you?"

"Why didn’t you tell me this before?"

"What’s the point in telling?" Old Master Ainsworth was indifferent, "It’s said that the gratitude of raising is greater than the gratitude of giving birth. I’ve realized; someone else’s child is someone else’s; a white-eyed wolf that can’t be raised properly."

Old Lady Ainsworth couldn’t help but say, "Lucy, are you really going to abandon this family and not care about your grandparents?"

"Family? Grandma, this is your family, not mine. You’ve never truly treated me as family, so why say any more now? Whether biological or picked up, human hearts are made of flesh. If someone treats me well, I’ll naturally treat them well in return; if someone treats me poorly, why should I be morally bound to do things I don’t want to do? Sorry, I can’t do that."

After speaking, she stepped out the door.

She didn’t leave but squatted quickly in the abandoned pigsty outside the door.

She stayed there for more than half an hour; when it was completely dark, Lucy secretly sneaked back into the yard, hiding beside a large vat.

Soon, Old Lady Ainsworth came out to lock the big door from the inside, leisurely returning to the main house.

The main house’s door was ajar, with only a faint light seeping through.

She crept slowly towards the window, desperately trying not to make any sound.

Inside, the conversation was so low that it was impossible to hear what was being said,

Just at that moment, Old Master Ainsworth’s phone rang.

Since he was using a simple elderly phone, the ringtone was particularly loud.

"It’s Oliver calling."

This phrase Lucy heard.

Soon after, Lucy heard Old Master Ainsworth say, "The child did return home as you expected to ask."

"If you didn’t specially instruct today, your mom and I would have accidentally let it slip; how can you and Autumn Fletcher hide this for so many years?!"

"Rest assured, I told her exactly as you asked."

Afterwards, the phone was clearly hung up, and a sigh from Old Master Ainsworth echoed in the room. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel★fire.net

"What’s all this about?"

Old Lady Ainsworth agreed, "If we had known earlier that this child wasn’t our granddaughter, that we actually swapped someone’s child and swapped our grandson into another home to enjoy life, we should have treated this girl better. Come to think of it, we’ve indeed not been good to her since childhood, sigh."

"Let’s never bring this up again; one mistake just let it forever be wrong."

Outside, Lucy pieced the whole matter together with the context and basically understood the majority of it.

Autumn Fletcher and Oliver Eaton indeed have a child, a boy.

That boy is Mason Baker.

Mason Baker swapped destinies with her.

He took everything originally meant for her.

Now they still want to continue deceiving everyone and cover up the truth.

Hatred burst forth in her eyes; she wants to reclaim everything she lost and let those people see the consequences of attempting to destroy her whole life!

Just after returning to Blossom Haven, Autumn Fletcher sent her a message.

Lucy replied with five words: [See you tomorrow.]

Knowing full well it’s a trap set by the other party, she still must go see.

This is to make the other party lower their guard and catch them off-guard.

After discussing with Jacob Green, she pulled out several strands of her hair and allowed Nathaniel Green, Jackson Baker, and Liora Hughes to run DNA comparisons.

Tonight, everything will become clear.

"Your grandmother treats you so well, perhaps because she knows you are her real granddaughter."

Jacob Green’s words aligned with Lucy’s innermost thoughts, "No wonder Grandma truly dislikes Mason Baker; she knew all along that Mason Baker isn’t her biological grandson. But why didn’t she tell her daughter?"
