Shining Bright After Rebirth

Chapter 981 Diana Forgave Her

"So that's it," Diana said with a bitter smile. "Loving her comes easy, but I'm the burden. Because I'm the stain on your perfect love story, aren't I?"

Paula's silence spoke volumes.

Diana felt a chill run through her as she watched Paula's face. How had she missed this all along? The signs had been there in Paula's behavior, but someone had carefully steered her away from the truth.

The realization hit her like ice water. There was only one question left: who had tampered with her paternity test?

She'd taken the test in secret, convinced Jeff wasn't her real father. But she'd never imagined someone would go so far as to alter the results.

But both tests had confirmed Jeff as her biological father. Now she wondered if either had been real.

Paula was equally stunned. She stared at Diana and asked, "Diana, you suspected Jeff wasn't your father?"

Diana nodded. "Yes, I did. I was so unsure after the first test that I did another one. I couldn't understand how a father could poison his own daughter. And not just once. Every chance he got, he tried to harm me.

"But both tests said I was his daughter. If you didn't meddle with them, who did?"

Today, Diana hadn't learned a secret from Jenny. Instead, she had learned a secret about herself from her biological mother.

Paula was overwhelmed with guilt. This had been her deepest secret, yet Diana had already doubted her parentage long ago.

Whether Jeff was her biological father or not, it didn't matter. He had never cared for Diana, and he never would.

Paula's resentment toward Jeff grew even deeper.

She thought, "Soon, those people will get what they deserve."

Amelie, who had chased wealth all her life, would end up with nothing.

Diana wasn't surprised by this outcome.

She had planned to investigate these matters later, but Steven's situation had come up.
