Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 262

"Ruby."

Megan immediately rushed to support her daughter.

"Ruby, how are you doing? Are you okay?"

Ruby leaned on her mother, barely managing to stand.

She bit her lower lip hard, the pain sobering her. Clenching her mother's hand tightly, she spat out angrily: "No way! No way! How could Lucinda be the daughter of the Blue family from Skywatch? Stefan must have hired someone to make this up."

She had always felt that Stefan was hers alone, that country bumpkin Lucinda wasn't even worthy to shine Stefan's shoes.

She always considered herself far more noble than Lucinda.

And now they were telling her that Lucinda's status was many times more noble than hers. How could she accept this?

This was like a punch to the face, smashing her pride.

The head of the Blue family even said Lucinda could inherit around seven billion dollars from him!

The entire wealth of the Scott family didn't even reach a hundred million dollars!

Lucinda could inherit around seven billion dollars! The difference was astronomical.

She felt an unbearable gap.

If all this was true, she was not only inferior to Lucinda, and she wasn't even worthy to polish Lucinda's shoes.

She had always thought of herself as a noble girl. In front of Lucinda, who could inherit around seven billion dollars, she was the country bumpkin!

"Ruby, let's go home first; we'll talk about it at home."

Megan also hoped all this was a farce, a show put on by Stefan's hired help.

But her experience told her it wasn't a show, it was real.

Lucinda was the daughter of the Blue family from Skywatch.

As soon as she came back, she checked Lucinda's information and knew that Lucinda was not the biological daughter of the Moore family. She must have biological parents since she wasn't the Moore family's biological daughter.

Now, maybe her real parents had come to find her.

Up close, she also saw the resemblance between Lucinda and Grace. Though Grace was older, she was well-maintained, and Lucinda's features looked a lot like hers. They would look like mother and daughter if Grace were a bit younger.

And that man in the video, if they looked closely, he did resemble Lucinda.

In this day and age, identifying kinship was not like before, and it now required DNA paternity testing.

Especially for a large family like the Blue family from Skywatch, they would conduct multiple DNA tests.

The people from the Blue family, publicly claiming kinship, must have already done the DNA test.

Also, after the video incident, the Anderson family didn't react at all. Considering Stefan's concern for Lucinda, how could he not react?

Because they were siblings.

Maybe Stefan knew who released the video long ago, and he didn't react, just waiting for the Blue family to arrive and publicly expose her daughter!

Megan saw things more clearly than Ruby.

Ruby angrily watched as the head of the Blue family took away Lucinda for the recognition ceremony, and the journalists, besides constantly taking photos, dared not do anything else.

However, the journalists were pretty excited.

They didn't get the scoop on Mrs. Coleman's affair, but they got the knowledge that Mrs. Coleman was the eldest daughter of the Blue family from Skywatch.

Mr. Coleman had good taste!

He casually rented himself out, got married, and landed the lost daughter of the Blue family.

Stefan: “I didn't just rent myself out casually. Who else could rent me but Lucy?”

Janice, who had been with her daughter all these days, knew better than Nathan about what her girl was up to.

So, she played along, not rushing to clarify the relationship between her daughter and son.

She admitted that she also enjoyed seeing Ruby get a hit.

But none of them had expected the scene to be bigger than they had imagined.

Nathan, of all people, had rushed over from Skywatch early in the morning, bringing many people. Who knew what he had done as the head of the Blue family to rally the clan members to support Lucinda so unanimously?

Nathan: “I didn't do anything. It's their curiosity that brought them here. Even if I hadn't called them, they would have come independently.”

With a fuss to watch, those folks ran faster than anyone.

"Janice."

Nathan looked at his wife, who had regained her senses. Dressed neatly, no longer in a mess, her usually loose and long hair was now tied up, exposing her smooth neck.

She didn't wear the jewelry he had given her, just a pearl necklace. He recognized it as a gift from his mother-in-law.

Ever since she became his wife, the jewelry she wore was always his gift. He didn't allow her to wear any she had brought from her home.

Even when she lost her mind, she was still wearing his gifts.

Now that she was clear-headed, she had taken off his gifts and put on the necklace her mother had given her.

Looking at her slender and delicate hands folded in front of her, they were empty. Their wedding ring was nowhere to be seen.

After staying in Pinehurst for a while, Janice looked well. Her face was no longer as pale as before. With regular sun exposure, her complexion had become rosy. Even approaching fifty, she was still pretty.

"Janice."

Nathan called her carefully, his eyes full of nervousness and fear.

He didn't even know how to face his wife but he yearned even more to take a good look at her.
