True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 245 Learning About One's Origins

Joyce's head was slammed hard against the deck, making a piercing pain through her. Bright red blood trickled down her forehead.

Despite this, she still understood Isabella's words. Isabella said that as the daughter of the Vale Family, she shouldn't even think about it. She thought, 'What does the Vale Family have to do with me?'

Joyce's eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Isabella. "You must be mistaken. I am Benjamin's child and have nothing to do with the Vale Family."

Hearing this, Isabella let out a sinister laugh. "Do they care so much about the child in your belly? No one dared to tell you such an important thing; fine, I'll say it for them."

"They were afraid you'd get emotional and miscarry, but I don't care. I wish that child would die in your belly."

"Joyce, listen to me carefully. You are not Benjamin and Angie's child; you are the child with the plum blossom birthmark that the Vale Family has been searching for."

"You are Darren and Connie's child. Can you believe it? The Darren who always opposed you is actually your biological father. To save me, he didn't hesitate to hurt you. If you die today, he is the one who causes you death."

Although Joyce's head hurt, she quickly cleared her thoughts. She was Connie and Darren's child. So, Theodore's concern for her, Beatrice's love for her, and even Clifton's kindness were not because of Sebastian but because she was the one they were looking for.

Thinking of this, Joyce's eyes widened in disbelief. She found it hard to accept this reality.

She kept shaking her head. "Impossible. My dad is Benjamin. I have nothing to do with the Vale Family. Stop talking nonsense!"
