Chapter 3
What I did had made him very happy.
“Really? How much?”
I held up a finger, which made him immediately excited. As for his two brothers, who had been standing aside, they were unhappy. They looked gloomy, their upset expressions clearly saying, ‘Why should I give it to the third child?‘
The third child, George, just took the advantage and acted innocently.
“Oh goodness, how come? Perhaps it was because I was a good person.”
“You…”
As soon as I saw the three of them starting to fight, I drove them away. Not because I cared about the whole family, but because I wanted them to hold their breath. After all, their interests were not evenly distributed and conflicts could easily break out.
Not long after, the eldest and the second oldest came back and said angrily, “Let’s tell the truth, Abraham Wendell was our biological father! We demanded to inherit his estate equally!”
“Yes, the estate in the western suburbs should also be divided equally!”
“And we should be given cash too!”
When I was faced with their chirps, I just said calmly, “How could you prove that my father was your father?”
Once I said that, the three of them went quiet.
“How could we say this if we’d got the wrong father?”
“That’s right! I think you just didn’t want to admit it on purpose!”
I turned around and scolded them for talking nonsense, responding, “Who didn’t know that my father only loved my mother and I was his only daughter? Where did you come from?”
I couldn’t put the blame on others. However, my father had been unable to make any money when he was running a business. Although I had no idea since when he started with such an idea, he began parading me and my late mother to any event, which created an image of a devoted family man.
Over time, everyone naturally thought that Mr. Wendell was a good husband and father. Thanks to that, the company’s performance also rose. Only after my father ‘died‘ in my last life did I realize that it wasn’t because Mr. Wendell refused to acknowledge his three illegitimate children. Especially after my grandmother passed away, this old idea of his started to affect him. My father thought that he should bring his affair sons back to bring honor to the family. Unfortunately for him, he was known to be a nice guy. With so many reporters, he couldn’t publicly admit this.
So, before Mr. Wendell died, I had heard him saying to the three illegitimate children, “I had wronged you all these years, so I would make it up to you in the second half of my life.”
I felt sick when I heard it.
This time, I would be the one who messed his life.

‘Yes, Mr. Wendell was such a good family man. How could he have an affair?”
‘That’s right. How could such a big entrepreneur and philanthropist have illegitimate children?” ‘The late CEO had been on a TV show some time ago to promote family culture, but it turned out he’d got affair children and mistresses behind such a persona. There’s no way I could believe it!” See? This was the reason I had called the reporters. They were my weapons that would take down the three illegitimate children and my father.
When my father had faked his death in my last life, his three illegitimate children had suddenly appeared at the funeral, which had really shocked me.
This time, I would make the move first.
Since my father really cared about his reputation, how could he wake up now and lose the nfluence he had built for many years? The only way for him was to continue pretending to be lead.
When I saw how careful he was, to the point that he didn’t even dare to fart, I was so happy to see him stressed like this.
The three of them then said, “Well then, we could do a paternity test!”
This was exactly what I wanted.
My father was dead and now only I, the daughter, could make the decision.”
As long as I didn’t agree, you were not qualified to extract anything from his body for DNA comparison!”
For this reason, I also found a lawyer to testify.
My lawyer then added, “Even if we took a step back, paternity testing was only valid during the itigation period, otherwise it had no legal effect. Isn’t it ridiculous that you were talking about >aternity testing before the litigation had even started?”
My father’s three illegitimate children looked even more grim.
If there was nothing else, please get out of this place!”
After that, I asked the doctor to come over, “Let’s start with the cornea.”
The doctor nodded and came over with the pungent disinfectant. The three illegitimate children eld their breath and turned around anxiously, but they couldn’t find any reason to stop it. Anc hen Mr. Wendell was suddenly tense all over his body.
When the doctor pointed the knife at his eyes, my father suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly said, “Don’t, don’t do it!”
