True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 336 Successfully Escaping

Dakota shook her head, totally floored by what she just heard. "No way, you're talking crazy. Derek killed my dad ages ago. It wasn't Mr. Hayes."

Joyce just smiled, all calm and collected. "He said he was protecting you, but really, he saw you as a pawn to control Cordelia. Otherwise, why would your mom risk her life working for him? I never got why Cordelia let herself be manipulated until I saw you. Then it all made sense."

"Ever wonder why your mom looks so much like Cordelia Winters? They're twin sisters, but no one ever told you that. Your mom is also Randall's biological daughter, the guy you're imprisoning. Mr. Hayes's known this secret forever but never told Cordelia because he wanted to control her completely."

"Your parents' miserable lives are all because of him. Do you want to end up like them?"

Dakota glared at Joyce on the screen, her rage boiling over. "No way, this can't be true. You're just trying to trick me into letting you go. Joyce, you think I'm that gullible?"

She was about to press another button when she heard Randall's deep, raspy voice.

"If I remember right, your mom has three black moles on the sole of her foot, forming a triangle."

Dakota froze, staring at Randall on the screen in disbelief. "How do you know that?"

Randall's eyes were bloodshot. "My youngest daughter had that same birthmark on her left foot. She went missing when she was three, and I've been looking for her for over forty years."

Randall started to cry, thinking about Cordelia's manipulated life, the pain overwhelming him.

Dakota was at a loss for words, not knowing who to trust or hate anymore. The Logan she admired was the villain who destroyed her family. And Randall, the guy she had imprisoned for over two years, was her grandfather. She bit her lip, trembling all over. "No way, this can't be true. You're all lying."

Joyce stayed calm. "If you think I'm lying, take a paternity test with Mr. Guise. I'll have my colleagues send you updates on your dad's case. You can also do a paternity test with him, then you'll know if I'm lying or not."

Dakota collapsed to the ground, her mind in chaos. The cause of her dad's death, her mom's manipulated life, her being used as a hostage she never imagined any of it.

She always thought Cordelia infiltrated the Winters Family to avenge Charles. She believed Cordelia's tragic end was because of Sebastian and Joyce. She channeled all her hatred onto them.
