Leona went with Matthew back to his hometown for the second time to pay respects to their ancestors.

On the way, they happened to meet Scarlett.

Treasure Hunter instantly sensed that Scarlett was carrying an extremely unusual crystal bead. Its ownership could only be identified through a willing transfer.

It was unbelievably rare.

Treasure Hunter wanted Leona to obtain that treasure.

Only then did she watch Scarlett walk away and casually suggest it to Matthew.

“Honey, Scarlett is already 13. She’s almost grown. Her mom is in a vegetative state, and it’s not suitable for her to live alone with her stepfather. Girls should keep some distance from male guardians, especially since he’s not her real father.

“Why don’t we bring Scarlett to the city and let her live with us? From then on, she’ll be my daughter too. I’ll treat her the same as Hazel.”

Matthew hesitated. “Would that be appropriate? I’m worried you and Hazel might feel uncomfortable.”

After all, Scarlett was his biological child. There was still blood tying them together.

Leona smiled. “Of course not. Scarlett is your child, too. I just want what’s best for her. You should go get her later.”

Matthew truly believed she cared about Scarlett.

He even thought she was kind and generous.

That very day, they went to the Sanchez Residence to bring Scarlett back.

Unexpectedly, Scarlett looked at them coldly and flatly refused.

Later, Leona suggested bringing Daphne to the city as well and placing her in a rehabilitation hospital for

treatment.

Matthew seemed to think something over and agreed without much hesitation.

For the sake of her mother’s recovery, Scarlett finally agreed to go to the city.

“You–you ungrateful brat!” Matthew shouted, his temple pulsing with rage.

“Back then, Leona said it wasn’t safe for a girl your age to stay home, so we wanted you to come to the city to study. And now you say this?

“Tell me has Leona ever treated you badly all these years? And now you’re saying you don’t even see us as family?”

Scarlett sneered.

“Why mention her? I’m talking about my mom. You said you’d put her in a rehab hospital and hire the best. foreign doctors. Did you actually do that?

“I checked. You never did. You just left my mom there. Back then, when I called her name, her fingers would still twitch a little.

“After five years, she doesn’t even respond anymore. You lied to me.

“Why were you so eager to bring my mom to the city back then? Was there something you couldn’t face? Or did you want her to die?”

Back then, her mother divorced Matthew while still pregnant with her.

Her mother never explained why.

Even as Scarlett grew older, her stepfather never spoke badly about her biological father.

But she knew Matthew was at fault.

Her mother left him while pregnant and left before giving birth.

Hazel was less than a year younger than her.

That meant Hazel was already in Leona’s womb when Scarlett was born,

That much was obvious.

Matthew had an affair with Leona during the marriage, and Hazel came from that.

Only after learning the truth did Daphne insist on a divorce.

But that wasn’t what bothered Scarlett most.

She remembered Matthew’s expressions and subtle reactions whenever her mother was mentioned. Something always felt off.

It seemed like there was another wrong he had done to Daphne.

Now, Scarlett was testing him, watching closely for his response.

When Leona heard that, she realized Scarlett was only suspicious, not certain,

She let out a quiet sigh of relief.

She stepped forward. “Scarlett, you misunderstood. Your dad did invite top neurology experts in Dragoria to examine your mom back then. Her brain damage was too severe. There was no chance of recovery. If you’re still worried, we can invite foreign specialists again.”

They had no idea Scarlett had already taken Daphne away.

That was because Matthew never visited Daphne.

He never asked about her condition at the rehab hospital.

Only Scarlett visited every week.

The doctors and nurses there barely knew anyone except her.
