Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 486

Mr. Briggs' face suddenly darkened.

Beside him, Ricardo couldn't help but slightly curve his lips into a smirk. On the second floor, Sophie raised her eyebrows upon witnessing this scene.

It seemed tonight was indeed lively.

"Dad, I've been looking for you for so long and finally found you! I am Rowena... I am your daughter!"

Tears streamed down Rowena's face as if she were a delicate flower under heavy rain, causing the media and reporters around to start snapping photos eagerly.

Nichole fearlessly grabbed Mr. Briggs' wrist and pushed Rowena aside as she angrily exclaimed, "This is my dad! What are you talking about? Who let you in here? Security!"

Security moved forward, but Ricardo stopped them.

He slowly approached, crouched down, and helped Rowena to her feet, saying, "Let's not jump to conclusions when things are still unclear. Since everyone is here tonight, why not let this lady finish what she has to say?"

Rowena wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, looking towards Mr. Briggs. "Dad, I am your daughter, I am Rowena..."

"Enough!" Nichole interrupted coldly. "Your claim doesn’t make it true. Ricardo personally found me and brought me to my dad. We have already undergone a paternity test. I suspect you are just here to cause trouble!"

"Nothing is absolute. This young lady does bear some resemblance to Mr. Briggs." Ricardo looked at Rowena, asking, "Miss, do you have anything that can prove your identity?"

"Yes! It's a ring!" Rowena immediately pointed at Nichole, saying, "My ring, she tricked me out of it!"

As soon as these words fell, the crowd was in uproar.

Nichole scoffed, "Nonsense! Why would I have your ring?"

Rowena's eyes blazed with frightening hate. "You wanted to use my ring to bribe the prison warden for your release!"

Hearing this, the crowd was even more astonished.

Nichole's imprisonment had been a sensational news story at the time, and now it was being dug up again, leading everyone to question how Nichole was released.

"No! I know who my daughter is!"

Mr. Briggs ruthlessly interrupted Rowena, leaving her stunned. "Dad..."

"My daughter is right here. She’s the real Rowena! As for you... You should be learning something useful at such a young age, but instead, you chose to lie!" Mr. Briggs glanced at Ricardo, his expression grim. "If anyone tries to ruin the relationship between me and my daughter, I will never let them off!"

Ricardo probably didn't expect Mr. Briggs to be so heartless and protect Nichole, the fake daughter, even though his real daughter stood before him.

"Dad..." Rowena collapsed into Ricardo's arms, utterly heartbroken.

Ricardo frowned, and though he found the situation troublesome, he could not afford to lose his temper at this moment. He told Booker, who was standing beside him, "Take her to the hospital."

"Yes, Mr. Ricardo."

Ricardo's plan to expose Nichole's true identity didn’t succeed. He looked up at James on the second floor. James seemed to have anticipated this drama from Ricardo. Thus, his expression remained indifferent, and he did not take the recent turn of events to heart.
