Chapter 244: The Truth Hurts.

Angela couldn’t move or say a word. She just stared at him, trying to understand the meaning of what he had just said. Thousands of questions ran through her mind, making it hard for her to think straight or come up with anything to say.

She swallowed hard, trying to stop her trembling hands. Wrapping her arms around herself, she managed to speak, her voice shaking. "How did you know that? Why would you even say that?"

"I’m sorry, but it’s just a feeling," Kaito said softly. "And from everything that has been said, I can tell that Grace is not your biological mother." He tried to reach out to her, but she moved away. He could see the pain in her eyes, and her silence only showed how broken she was inside. "I mean, if Grace was really your mother, wouldn’t Marcus be looking for her too? It wouldn’t be hard for him to find her."

"It’s true," Renn said quietly as he sat on the couch, placing a hand on her arm. "It would have been easy."

"But that doesn’t prove anything," Angela said, her eyes filling with tears. No matter how much hurt she had with Grace, she had never once believed she wasn’t her mother.

"I understand what Kaito is saying," Hailey spoke softly, afraid of how her words might hurt Angela. "From the way Marcus looked earlier, you could tell he still loves the mother of his daughter."

"He would have gone back to Grace by now," Alex said, stepping away from the wall. "You know who Grace is. She would have shown Marcus where you were."

"So that means you were lied to... even by Grace," Stales said. "That’s probably why they treated you like that. Your uncle Toga knew the truth, Angela. He wanted to sell you because you were not family. You were a trash to them."
