Chapter 5
Many people present knew him and naturally knew that what he said was true.
Snow Francis bit her lip tightly.
She thought for a moment, then hurried forward to greet her grandfather.
“Grandfather, hello, I…
“Stop right there. I only have one granddaughter. Who are you?”
Her grandfather interrupted coldly.
Snow Francis froze in place, her expression a mix of grievance and absurdity.
In the end, it was Mike Francis who, sweating profusely, explained, “Dad, this is the daughter of one of the drivers from my company. The driver saved my life some years ago, and I promised to help take care of his daughter.”
But her grandfather wasn’t the type to be easily fooled.
“Is that so? Since she’s just an adopted daughter, she should behave like one.”
He continued, his tone growing colder.
“You made such a big deal out of her coming–of–age ceremony, but did you ever arrange one for Bella?”
I also heard she’s spent at least a few hundred million in these years. Isn’t she also the general manager at one of the subsidiary companies of the group?”
Her grandfather’s face grew icier.
Tell me, what’s a mere adopted daughter doing with such treatment?”
Her grandfather’s words were harsh, but in truth, they weren’t wrong.
In fact, the reality was even worse than what he said. If I hadn’t returned to the country, I wouldn’t have discovered
all these secrets.
And as an adopted daughter, she had privileges I didn’t even have–what right did she have?
Mike Francis was sweating, stammering, “Dad, Bella has been abroad all these years. Perhaps I’ve transferred my love and longing for her to Snow.”
“Rest assured, I won’t favor either of these two children…
“No, Bella deserves the best!”
Her grandfather sneered coldly and sat back, staring at him.

Mike Francis, realizing what her grandfather meant, Immediately apologized to the guests.
“Sorry, everyone. Thank you for coming to my daughter’s coming of age ceremony, but I believe we shouldn’t waste
so much.”
“Please, everyone, leave for now. The congratulatory gifts will be returned to you later!”
His reasoning was nonsensical.
Of course, the guests weren’t buying it.
One by one, they began to sneer.
“So Mike Francis is marrying into the Gus family, huh? No wonder his own daughter has the surname of Mr. Norris.”
“Snow Francis really has no shame. She knows she’s not the real young lady, but still spouts nonsense. It’s sickening!”
“Such a joke. Look at her ugly face. Compared to Miss Norris, it’s like night and day!”
“Does she really dare to throw such a grand coming of age ceremony? Could Snow be an illegitimate child?”
There were many whispers among the guests, though most of it was done quietly.
After all, Mike Francis was still the executive president of Goods Group, so face had to be given.
Snow Francis’s face turned red and pale, her eyes glaring at me as if she wanted to kill me with her gaze.
I stared back without fear.
“How pitiful, the coming–of–age ceremony must have been very important to you, right?”
“Too bad it’s all ruined.”
I looked at her with pity in my eyes.
“Hopefully, you’ll learn something from this. No matter how long a crow occupies a magpie’s nest, it will eventually
become an old crow.”
Snow Francis was so enraged by my words that she immediately lunged at me.
Fortunately, Mike Francis ill had some sense and stopped her in time.
Otherwise, just the fact that she dared to make a move would have been enough reason to kick her out of my house!
Later, David Gus became more and more invisible, even fading into the background whenever Mike Francis appeared.
But I didn’t forget how he had treated me.
