Chapter 252 You Are My Daughter

When Emma Miller saw Charlotte, she eyed her up and down and asked bluntly, “So, you’re Charlotte? My real daughter?”

Charlotte walked over without a change in her expression and replied, “It’s not certain yet. We’ll need to do a paternity test.”

Emma waved her hand dismissively. “What’s the point of that? If Sarah isn’t my daughter, then you must be.”

Charlotte shook her head. “It’s not that simple. We need the test to be sure.”

Emma frowned, irritated. “I don’t have time for this today. I’ve got the restaurant to run. If you really are my daughter, then get to work. Don’t screw things up, got it? Or you’ll regret it.”

With that, she slapped her apron, opened the restaurant door, and started preparing for the day’s business.

Charlotte couldn’t believe how quickly Emma was pushing her

to work.

She folded her arms and said coolly, “I’m going for the paternity test today, no arguments.”

“Why are you…” Emma turned to yell at her, but the sharpness in Charlotte’s gaze made her pause. The words died in her

throat.

Chapfer 252 You Are My Daughter – Charlotte stood out like a diamond in this rundown little place,

Her grace, poise, and obvious air of wealth made her seem completely out of place here. The cold expression on her face made it clear she wasn’t someone used to being bossed around, and the power in her presence was almost tangible. Emma suddenly felt small and intimidated.

It hit Emma then. This wasn’t the meek, submissive daughter like Sarah used to be.

Emma’s eyes flickered as she muttered, “So… how do we do

this?”

“Come with me,” Charlotte said, turning to head for the car.

Grumbling under her breath, Emma reluctantly locked up the restaurant. “Are you really my daughter? Or are you here to mess with me? You’re wasting my time and money. You know that?”

Charlotte didn’t bother responding. She just gave her a cool look from the driver’s seat, making Emma fall silent.

At the hospital, they did the blood test. The results would take three days.

Emma rubbed her arm, clearly impatient. “So can you take me

back now?”

Without saying a word, Charlotte drove her back.
