My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409 Adina ignored Ruby’s cries.

She stared at Aaron. “Am I your daughter?”

Aaron suppressed his anger and said, “I promised your mother that I would keep this secret until I die. But now, with all that has happened to Dew, I have no choice but to expose the truth. After your mother passed away, I could have sent you to an orphanage, but I didn’t. Instead, I raised you until you were eighteen. I’ve done my duty as a father, and I have a clear conscience toward you-”

“Haha!”

Halfway through his sentence, Adina scoffed.

At this point, she truly believed that she was not a daughter of the Daugherty family because no father would say something like that to his daughter. But she would not let herself be manipulated by Aaron either. “Why didn’t you send me to the orphanage? Wasn’t it because I held the shares of Daugherty Corporation?” She sneered. Aaron’s expression instantly darkened. “But all of Daugherty Corporation’s shares have been purchased. The owner of Daugherty Corporation has changed. I’ve lost everything. I only have Dew, my only daughter. Can’t you show some mercy and spare the Daugherty family?”

Adina frowned.

She really did not have the time to pay attention to Daugherty Corporation. She just knew that the price of their shares had dropped drastically, and the company would go bankrupt after some time. During such a critical time, someone had actually purchased the shares?

“Dew saved George and Harold, and I raised you for eighteen years too. Can you spare her?” Aaron slowly said, his cold and angry voice giving way to pleading. Adina stared at him coldly. “Dew kidnapped the young master of the Winters family. It is the Winters family that insists on looking into this. It’s none of my business. Mr. Daugherty, you better go to the Winters family and beg Duke.” She did not want to look at Aaron anymore. She pushed the glass door open and entered her company.

Hehind her, Aaron and Ruby looked completely hopeless
