The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 866

She Took 866 Summary

In this intense chapter, Lenny orders the doctor to draw Manny’s blood for a DNA test, despite Manny’s fierce resistance. Manny struggles violently against those restraining him, shouting to be released, but he ultimately breaks down when he meets his father Dale’s cold and distant gaze. The emotional weight of feeling abandoned by the man who once protected and loved him overwhelms Manny, deepening his heartbreak.

After the blood draw, Manny and his mother Artemis prepare to leave, but Manny expresses his bitter feelings toward Dale, accusing him of no longer seeing them as family. Artemis tries to intervene, but Manny’s harsh words reveal the deep rift between them. Their tense moment is interrupted by Dan, who mocks Artemis’s past manipulative behavior and cynically suggests the DNA test might prove Manny is not Dale’s son, further escalating the conflict.

Dan proposes that both sides send trusted people to oversee the DNA testing process to prevent tampering, casting doubt on the integrity of the results. Manny accuses Dan of planning to manipulate the test, but Dan dismisses the accusation with a mocking laugh. Artemis tries to calm Manny, signaling him to stop the argument, as the situation grows increasingly hostile and complicated.

Dale, affected by Artemis’s silent plea and burdened by humiliation from others’ whispers and direct insults, finally gives the order to proceed with the blood test. The chapter ends with a sense of unresolved tension and emotional fracture within the family, highlighting the painful consequences of mistrust and broken relationships.

The doctor rushed forward with his equipment.

Manny went wild, thrashing against the people holding him down. “Let me go! Get your hands off me!”

No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless now.

Then he met Dale’s eyes–cold, dark, and distant–and everything in him just… broke.

That was his dad. The man who had always protected him loved him. And now he was looking at him like he was nothing.

The blood was drawn.

Then they released Manny.

Artemis looked at Dale, tears glistening in her eyes.

This was her usual tactic–whenever something went wrong, she’d play the part of the helpless woman, lowering herself completely in front of him.
