“Sierra, we are sorry for how we treated you, you’re suffered a lot. I am formally apologizing to you here, and I hope you can forgive us. You’re amazing, a real daughter of the Xander family indeed. I am happy to have a daughter like you.”

Franklin was someone who prioritized image and was prideful. Sierra knew it, and she found it ridiculous and funny

Ever since she was brought back to the Xander family, Franklin had never spared her a glance; he was the most indifferent to her

He always looked at her with disdain and hate. Because of the error of taking the wrong baby at birth, the Xander family became a joke.

It was not Sierra’s fault but Frankin put the blame on her, as if she was the culprit.

In the past, she had imagined this day countless times. But now that it had truly arrived, she felt none of the joy or satisfaction she had once expected. It turned out she had already seen them as strangers. No matter what they did, it no longer stirred any emotions in her..

She silently watched them. The scene fell into a hushed stillness as reporters and cameras quietly captured everything.

No one had expected a simple research conference to turn into such a spectacle. First, the academic theft scandal, then the rise of a prodigy, and now a full–blown family drama.
