Evelyn looked at Jean's teary eyes and let out a soft sigh, choosing to remain silent. There were some things she couldn't and didn't dare say. The consequences of doing so were a weight neither she nor Jean could carry.
So what if Jean was her biological daughter? Evelyn couldn't acknowledge her. If she did, she couldn't retain her position as the lady of the Hamilton family.
Jean interpreted Evelyn's silence as an implicit agreement. Initially, she only had her suspicions, but Evelyn's silence confirmed it, and her confusion quickly shifted to shock.
"I really am your daughter, aren't I? No wonder my mom never liked me. She always said I was a burden because she didn't want me! Dad didn't like me either, so I was treated like a sinner in the Sawyer family!" At that moment, all her pent-up frustrations spilled out, and tears streamed down her face.
From as far back as she could remember, her mother had never liked her, and her father had treated her as if she didn't exist. Even her relatives and friends looked at Jean with strange expressions.
Things only changed after she met Brad. Those people, desperate to connect with the Hamilton family, had no choice but to abandon their pride and mask their true feelings, becoming excessively attentive when they interacted with her.
Her life only started to get better after that. But all the misfortunes she had endured in her childhood—the discrimination and the hurtful words—suddenly erupted at that moment. Simultaneously, her features twisted in rage.
