Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 677

"Let's reintroduce ourselves. My English name is Blaine, but my real name is Samuel Irwin."

Everything around them seemed to come to a standstill.

Selena stared at him, completely taken aback.

She had always assumed that Blaine approached her because she reminded him of someone significant in his life. Never did she imagine they shared the same last name.

At this moment, Selena couldn't brush it off as mere coincidence.

After a long silence, she finally found her voice, though it was shaky. "You... you're my father's..."

She struggled to say the words, finding them hard to believe.

In her memories, her parents were deeply in love. How could there be... an affair?

Blaine chuckled softly. "Don't get the wrong idea. Your dad doesn't have any secret kids."

"I'm your uncle."

Uncle??

This meant they were a generation apart, so...

Selena swallowed hard. "Then you're... my grandfather's illegitimate child?"

But considering her grandfather's age, it didn't make sense for him to have a child Blaine's age.

She was completely baffled.

Blaine sighed. "Is it that journalist's imagination of yours?"

He decided to stop being mysterious. He pulled up a chair and sat down, his intense eyes meeting hers.

"I have no blood relation to your grandfather. You, your grandfather, and your father aren't related by blood."

Selena's hands clenched tightly.

"Are you saying... I'm adopted?"

Blaine nodded gently, confirming her suspicion.

The Irwin family was once a thriving dynasty, but betrayal from close friends led to their downfall.

Blaine was just a child, fleeing with newborn Selena to keep her safe. He entrusted her to Selena's parents, who were a distant branch of the Irwin family.
