Zoe hurriedly called after him, “Hey, young man, you dropped something”
Chris, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, stopped and spoke in a low voice. Mrs. Hale, take a look at parrots make things clear.”
With that, he walked away.
Zoe was startled. What’s this about a paternity test? she wondered
She stared at the paper bag next to her, frowning in confusion. After a long moment, a cold wind sweeps by making ter shiver. It finally hit her what the man had said. What did he mean by a paternity test? she thought
Without hesitation, she picked up the report and flipped straight to the last page.
The report revealed that Eliana and Beatrice were actually mother and daughter
Zoe screamed, completely stunned. “How is this possible? How could this happent I gave birth to Eltanta. How could de ase be my daughter?”
A small note slipped out of the report.
It read: [Zoe, years ago, Beatrice swapped out your daughter. Now, Eliana and Beatrice have reunited Together, they piomed to take Stella’s child.
[The child has already been returned to Stella. Now that you know the truth, you need to be extra careful Don’t let yourself get caught up in their schemes.]
Zoe stood there, frozen in shock.
‘My real daughter was swapped at birth by Beatrice, Zoe thought, her mind spinning. Now that the has accepted Eltana as her daughter, where is my real daughter?
‘No wonder Beatrice has always bent over backwards to treat Eliana so well all these years. I always thought she truly loved Eliana, wanted her to marry into her family.
I used to secretly feel grateful. Even if my own marriage was a mistake, at least my daughter found happiness.
But now, someone was telling her that Eliana wasn’t her daughter, and that Beatrice had switched her real daughter at birth.
“W–What’s happening? Zoe stammered.
Zoe got to her feet like a ghost, her whole body numb with shock, and drifted away in a daze.
She quietly made her way to the front of Dylan’s villa.
She walked up and rang the doorbell. The new security guard hadn’t even finished his training, but somehow he already knew who lived there.
When Zoe said she was Eliana’s mom, the guard just waved her in.
At that moment, Eliana and Beatrice were both deeply troubled by everything going on with the child.
Back then, after the kid was dropped off at the orphanage, she got sick and was sent away for medical treatment. Once the got better, they moved her to a different orphanage.

Chapter 202
The director wasn’t there, so they couldn’t check the files. The day they’d set with Mariana was coming up fast
Eliana and Beatrice were both freaking out.
Beatrice wasn’t about to let a fortune like this slip through her fingers. She said, “The director will be back tomorrow, I’ll go over myself and make sure we get the kid back.”
Eliana was wracked with guilt. She glared at Beatrice, her voice shaking with anger. “Mom, I told you from the start. She’s my daughter, my own flesh and blood.
“You promised you’d keep her safe. Even when you said we had to trade her for Stella’s kid, I still went along with it. I listened to you, but how could you let my daughter get hurt?
Beatrice was pissed, too. She glared at Eliana. “If you’d just come clean back then, told me you were sick, told me the baby got infected, do you really think any of this mess would’ve happened?”
‘She should’ve never kept it from me, Beatrice fumed.
Eliana could only laugh bitterly, thinking back on everything; now, all she felt was regret.
“Why didn’t I just wait a little longer back then?” she wondered, regret gnawing at her.
Her expression was pained. “Back then, I had no idea you were my real mom. I just wanted you to like me, wanted to fit in with your family, so I ended up hiding things from you.
“But I never expected that, even knowing all the messed–up things I did to Dylan, you kept forgiving me. That’s why I just kept pushing my luck.”
Before Beatrice could say anything, a shocked voice rang out from the doorway.
