Chapter 252 You Are My Daughter
When Emma Miller saw Charlotte, she eyed her up and down and asked bluntly, “So, you’re Charlotte? My real daughter?”
Charlotte walked over without a change in her expression and replied, “It’s not certain yet. We’ll need to do a paternity test.”

Emma waved her hand dismissively. “What’s the point of that? If Sarah isn’t my daughter, then you must be.”
Charlotte shook her head. “It’s not that simple. We need the test to be sure.”
Emma frowned, irritated. “I don’t have time for this today. I’ve got the restaurant to run. If you really are my daughter, then get to work. Don’t screw things up, got it? Or you’ll regret it.”
With that, she slapped her apron, opened the restaurant door, and started preparing for the day’s business.
Charlotte couldn’t believe how quickly Emma was pushing her
to work.
She folded her arms and said coolly, “I’m going for the paternity test today, no arguments.”
“Why are you…” Emma turned to yell at her, but the sharpness in Charlotte’s gaze made her pause. The words died in her
throat.

Chapfer 252 You Are My Daughter – Charlotte stood out like a diamond in this rundown little place,
Her grace, poise, and obvious air of wealth made her seem completely out of place here. The cold expression on her face made it clear she wasn’t someone used to being bossed around, and the power in her presence was almost tangible. Emma suddenly felt small and intimidated.
It hit Emma then. This wasn’t the meek, submissive daughter like Sarah used to be.
Emma’s eyes flickered as she muttered, “So… how do we do
this?”
“Come with me,” Charlotte said, turning to head for the car.
Grumbling under her breath, Emma reluctantly locked up the restaurant. “Are you really my daughter? Or are you here to mess with me? You’re wasting my time and money. You know that?”
Charlotte didn’t bother responding. She just gave her a cool look from the driver’s seat, making Emma fall silent.
At the hospital, they did the blood test. The results would take three days.
Emma rubbed her arm, clearly impatient. “So can you take me
back now?”
Without saying a word, Charlotte drove her back.

During the ride, Emma went on, “Listen, you’re my daughter now. Get used to it. You’re not some pampered rich girl anymore. When you get home, you need to drop the attitude. You’ll do your share of the work, no complaints.”
Charlotte’s face didn’t change. “Let’s confirm everything first before you start making assumptions.”
Emma rolled her eyes. “That ungrateful girl got all high and mighty, and now you’re here, so you must be my daughter. What’s there to question?”
She kept on talking, but Charlotte just listened, letting her ramble as they made their way back to the restaurant.
Once they arrived, Emma immediately jumped into work, but Charlotte stayed in the car.
She took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts, her thoughts a tangle of emotions.

She stopped when she found Ava’s number. The last time she called was when Julius was born. Charlotte had wanted to share the happy news, but Ava never picked up.
Since then, she hadn’t dared to try calling again, afraid of being rejected, terrified that Ava might no longer want anything to do with her.
But now, the reality of the situation was undeniable,
