The banquet hall erupted in chaos.
Guests whispered among themselves, shock written all over their faces.
Sophia turned deathly pale. Her body swayed as if she could barely stay on her feet.
“This is impossible!”
Daniel roared, his voice echoing throughout the hall. “My parents never said anything like this!”
His eyes were filled with fury and disbelief. His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on his arms.
“Wills are legally binding, Mr. Brown,” Mr. Smith said calmly, unmoved by the outburst.
“And Miss Hannah also has a gift for the newlyweds.”
All eyes turned to me.
I stepped out from the corner slowly, still dressed in that ill–fitting maid’s uniform, and walked toward the front.
Each step was light, yet felt like it was stomping on Daniel’s heart.
He stared at me, his expression filled with something he couldn’t put into words.
“Hannah, what are you doing?” His voice trembled slightly.
I didn’t answer, I took a document from my bag.
“What is that?” Daniel looked at me warily, as if he already sensed what was coming.
I held up the report, my voice clear as it echoed across the banquet hall.
“The paternity test shows that the fetus Sophia is carrying shares no biological relation to Mr. Daniel Brown.”
A dead silence filled the room.
Then, the banquet hall exploded once more.
“What?!”
“The child isn’t his?”
“What’s going on?!”
Voices surged like a wave through the crowd.
Sophia let out a sharp scream and stumbled backward, almost collapsing.
Daniel instinctively reached out to catch her–but his hand froze halfway and fell back.
His face was ashen, worse than a corpse. “That’s not possible.”

Sophia shook her head, sobbing uncontrollably as tears poured down her cheeks.
“Daniel, please believe me. The baby really is yours…”
I let out a cold laugh. “Then why don’t we run another test right here in front of everyone?”
Sophia instantly went silent. Her face grew even whiter.
Daniel’s body trembled. He stared at Sophia, eyes filled with disbelief.
“Sophia, tell me it’s not true.”
“Daniel… I…”
Sophia opened her mouth but couldn’t say a single word.
In that moment, her silence was the loudest answer of all.
“She planned everything,” I said clearly. “The drugging, the pregnancy, marrying you–it was all for the Brown family’s
wealth.”
“And you… you humiliated me, tortured me, all for her.”
“Are you satisfied now?”
Daniel’s eyes held a collapsing kind of despair. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
In our past life, he had thought I’d caused the death of his child. He’d hated me to the core ever since.
What a joke. That child had never been his to begin with.
“Hannah…”
His voice was hoarse and broken. “I… I didn’t know…”
“You didn’t know?”
I gave a bitter laugh. “And what good does not knowing do?”
Daniel’s face had lost all color. He looked like he might collapse.
Tears shimmered in his eyes. He reached out, as if wanting to touch me, but I took a step back.
“Hannah, I was wrong…”
His voice cracked. “I really was wrong…”
“Wrong?”
I laughed, and tears almost came to my eyes.
“Daniel, there are some mistakes that can never be forgiven.”

“And some wounds that can never be healed.”
I gave him one final look before turning and walking toward the doors.
Sophia had already slumped onto the stage floor.
The guests were still murmuring in disbelief. The whole banquet hall was in chaos.
“Hannah!”
Daniel finally found his voice again. “Hannah, don’t go!”
I paused, but didn’t turn around.
“I can explain. I can make it up to you. I’ll give you anything,” he begged in a voice filled with desperation. “Just please, don’t leave me.”
“Go.”
“Leave the Brown family. And don’t ever come back.”
“This… is no longer your home.”
