Three years after my father's passing, his illegitimate daughter came knocking at the door. Unexpectedly, I discovered a conspiracy that had been going on for over a decade. In the end, evil was met with retribution.
Regarding the matter of having a half-sister from my father's affair, if my dad hadn't passed away leaving behind a fortune, our paths might never have crossed in this lifetime.
I know she had a heart so pure that she was only interested in money.
She covered her face, putting on a show of vulnerability, and cried out, "What did I do wrong for you to hit me like this?"
"Ask your mother!" I replied coldly.
1.
Her name was Jenny Blake, and she just turned eighteen this year.
The first time we met was in the hallway of our old apartment complex, just as my mom Tania Blake and I were returning from a walk.
Jenny stood outside the door, head down, giggling as if chatting with someone.
Tania hid her weathered and worn hands behind her back and asked with a smile, "May I ask who you are? Are you a friend of Verena?"
She was dressed head to toe in designer brands, and a quick glance told me her outfit must have cost thousands.
However, I didn't have any friends like her.
Jenny noticed the way Tania and I were sizing her up and finally stopped beating around the bush.
She stepped closer to my mom and whispered, "Hello, I'm Verena's sister. Like her...
my father is Tom Blake as well."
For a moment, I thought I misheard.
My dad only ever had one daughter-Verena Blake, which was me!
Where did she come from?
Of course, Tania was the most shocked.
Her face turned pale, and she staggered backward. If I hadn't caught her, she would have crashed into the drainpipe.
"Hey, Miss, don't try to pull a fast one," Jenny quickly pulled out her phone and activated the camera. "If you got an injury or something, it's got nothing to do with me."
Considering the neighbors who greeted us regularly were around, I suppressed my anger to avoid making a scene.
Shielding Tania behind me, I said coldly, "I've never heard of an unwelcome guest showing up uninvited. Why don't you just go back to where you came from?"
"Come on, dear sister. You still suspect that I'm an impostor, don't you?" Jenny put on a flattering smile, but kept her phone recording. "I'm here today to assert my place in the family lineage. Don't worry, everything you need is all in order."
With that, she pulled a paternity test report from her bag.
Tania snatched it and, trembling, opened it.
It indeed had Tom's name on it, and the related information was correct...
