“What did you say? What do you mean I’m not part of the family?” I raised my voice as well.
Natalie wouldn’t have said that without a reason, so there must be some kind of secret that I did not know of.
“Natalie!” Nathan yelled at her.
“It’s time to stop hiding it, Uncle Nathan! Yvonne doesn’t give a sh*t if you treat her like family, so you should just tell her the truth! Yvonne isn’t your daughter, and yet you’ve raised her like your own! She has no right to treat you like this!” Crystal butted into the conversation as well.
I stared wide-eyed at Crystal in shock. All these years, I have never considered the possibility that I’m not Nathan’s biological daughter! I simply assumed he was angry and frustrated at my mom for leaving him, so he took it out on me. I used to hate him for betraying Mom, but… If I’m not his biological daughter, then what’s the point of all this?
I grew up knowing Nathan and Isabelle as my parents. Imagine the shock and disbelief I felt when Crystal told me I was not Nathan’s daughter!
The next thing I knew, we were surrounded by a group of journalists who kept snapping away while firing questions about our family relationship.
“Is Yvonne Tanner really not your daughter? Is what Ms. Yates said true?”
“Ms. Tanner has been living with the Tanners since childhood, so whose daughter could she be? Please answer us, Mr. Tanner! Who’s causing the Tanner family to go bankrupt? Rumor has it that the Goldstein family plays a part in this incident. Is that true?”
That was a question that I wanted to know the answer to as well, and I looked at Nathan in hopes of him giving me the answer. All sorts of thoughts began running through my head, but I had a feeling that Crystal was telling the truth.
