RankNovelFiona's expression shifted tically as she stared at Carly. She stepped forward, struggling to process what
she had just heard. "Dad?"
Carly lifted her chin proudly, like an arrogant peacock. "Do you have any idea who
I am? I'm Carly, the Hampton family heiress and a billionaire's daughter. What, are you scared now?"
Fiona stood frozen on the spot.
Just then, Nigel pulled his arm away from Carly's grasp and reprimanded her sharply. "Carly, what do you think
you're doing?"
Carly was stunned. "Dad, why are you yelling at me?"
Nigel glanced at Fiona. "Do you even know who she is?"
Carly let out a cold laugh. "She's just swoman being kept by a rich man—"
"Shut up!" Nigel snapped.
Carly jumped in fright. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you siding with her?"
Nigel took a deep breath and said, "Carly, she is your mother-Fiona."
The words exploded in Carly's ears. She gasped sharply. "Dad, what are you saying? She's my mom?"
She turned to Fiona in shock, while Fiona stared back at her, just as bewildered. Their unexpected reunion had
caught everyone off guard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNigel looked at Fiona. "She is our daughter, Carly."
Carly quickly stepped forward, attempting to apologize. "Mom, I'm so sorry. | didn't recognize you. I'm your
daughter, Carly."
Fiona looked at her with disappointment in her eyes.
Celine smirked. "Ms. Hampton, calling her 'Mom' now? Weren't you the one who just assumed your own mother
was srich man's mistress?"
Carly shot Celine a fierce glare. "Celine, shut up!"
She was beyond frustrated. Why did Celine have to be everywhere, meddling in her business?
Fiona studied Carly with a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Are you really my daughter?"
Carly's heart skipped a beat. This
reunion, which she had carefully prepared for, had turned into a disaster She had left a terrible first impression
on Fiona, and now her own mother was questioning her identity.
Carly played her trump card. "Mom, of course, I'm your daughter, Carly. We've been apart for so many years, and
Hayden was the one who raised me. He always toldhow much you love me, but | never got to experience a
mother's love. | was so happy when Dad toldyou were coming back to see me. | finally have a mom. | don't
have to envy others anymore."
Fiona's gaze softened. She and Nigel had always carried guilt when it cto Carly.
Fiona cforward and took Carly's hands in hers. "Carly, | had no choice but to send you to Mercity back then.
From now on, I'll be by your side. We'll never be apart again."

As Carly embraced her, Fiona
caught a whiff of the strong perfume
clinging to her daughter. A faint
frown crossed her face. For some
reason, she didn't feel the closeness she had expected. *
Something about this felt off.
