Leia thought that the old geezer would yield and listen to what she said!
She did not expect that the doctor would not be cowed by her threat and expose the truth in public!
The guests were agitated when they heard that shocking revelation!
Everyone from the Norman family did not look pleased, especially Old Mr. Norman, whose hands were trembling with anger.
Leia, that wretch!
Old Mr. Norman was not fond of the young woman the moment he set his eyes upon her. He could tell that she was not as innocent as she looked.
However, he reluctantly accepted her presence in the Norman household because her son and daughter-in-law liked her. He certainly did not expect that his adoptive granddaughter would cause so much trouble for the family!
On the stage, Leia's delicate hands were clenched into fists. A chill coursed down from her head, down the spine, and to the soles of her feet.
She turned to look at her adoptive parents and tried to explain to them. Even her eyelashes were trembling. "No, it's not like that. Dad, Mom, that man is slandering me! Can you believe Dr. Hoover's one-sided story? The first time I met him was when we went to the hospital for Julie's DNA test, and I had never seen him since. Why would I threaten him to falsify the results? I've been in the household for almost twenty years, Mom. You should know better than anyone else about my personality. Do I look like someone who would blackmail others?"
Leia looked at Queenie with pleading eyes.
Queenie thought of what her daughter was usually like.
To her, Leia had always been innocent and kind. She was a daughter who had never let her mother worry about her.
Compared to other children, Leia was sensible and empathic. Did she look like someone who would blackmail others?
Queenie was an intelligent woman. She might be less sensible when it came to her daughter, but she was not entirely without reason.
She hesitated when she thought of Dr. Hoover's accusation against her daughter and the presence of a conflicting report.
After all, Dr. Hoover must be a shrewd man to achieve his current position in his career. He would not throw away his reputation so easily by making a baseless accusation in public.
Between Leia and Dr. Hoover, one of them must be lying.
"Don't you trust me, Mom?" Leia sobbed. Her heart broke when she saw her mother hesitate.
Meanwhile, the guests and reporters were scrutinizing Julie.
She felt as though all her clothes had been stripped off, and she was standing naked in front of everyone, every inch of her body bared for everyone's criticism.
Worst of all, if her identity was exposed now, she would not have another chance to enter the upper circles of society.
She lifted her dress, ran frantically in front of Queenie, grabbed her elbow, and asked her, "Are you really not my birth mother, Mom? Dr. Hoover isn't telling the truth, right? I've been searching for my birth parents for so many years, and I thought I'm so lucky to have finally found you and Dad. We must be mother and daughter, isn't it?"
Below the stage, Bianca watched as Leia continued to twist the truth to absolve herself, Julie being flustered and nervous, and Jack standing there red-faced. She could not understand how she felt.
When she saw Queenie's face that was wracked with despair, she thought that the entire episode was a ridiculous farce.
