The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 331: How Many Did You Have, Don’t You Know Yourself?
Chapter 331: Chapter 331: How Many Did You Have, Don’t You Know Yourself?
Elizabeth Tucker was truly stunned this time.
Elizabeth Tucker seemed to have thought of something, her brows slightly furrowed, her expression complex as she looked at Elizabeth Tucker.
Elizabeth Tucker was still bewildered, but Scarlett Jennings keenly caught the anomaly on Elizabeth Tucker’s face, slightly tilting her head,
"It seems your daughter has an answer in her heart."
Elizabeth Tucker suddenly looked at her own daughter, who imperceptibly pursed her lips, looking at Elizabeth Tucker with a tone carrying a trace of sourness,
"Don’t you have one? You treat her even better than your own daughter."
Hearing these words from Elizabeth Tucker, Elizabeth Tucker also thought of it, her face full of tremors, at that moment, she even couldn’t speak.
At this moment, William Zeller timely asked, "Ms. Tucker, who is the person your daughter is talking about?"
Elizabeth Tucker, who was originally standing upright, slumped slightly, seeming somewhat helpless,
"She mentioned a student I had sponsored..."
Elizabeth Tucker had once gone to a county town with the dance troupe for a charity performance, when many people from the nearby mountain villages came, and Elizabeth Tucker coincidentally met a girl selling fresh flowers at the door with a face full of injuries.
She learnt that the girl had been beaten for refusing her family’s wish for her to drop out of school and work to support her younger brother because they were poor.
Even so, she still did not give up the chance to attend school, she tried working part-time jobs with her frail body to earn tuition for herself.
At the time, Elizabeth Tucker was touched by the child’s resilience and took the initiative to sponsor her schooling until the child went to college...
But actually, when she decided to sponsor her, it was not just because of the child’s resilience, but also because the child’s eyes looked a lot like her Elizabeth’s.
It was the thought of her own daughter that led Elizabeth Tucker to decide to sponsor her.
But now, this master says that the child is also her own daughter?
How could this be?
She clearly... only gave birth to one daughter.
It’s not that Elizabeth Tucker feels that Scarlett Jennings and the show crew are deceiving her, it’s just... she vaguely feels that something is not right here.
She subconsciously looked towards Scarlett Jennings, as if seeking confirmation.
Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you have a photo of her?"
Elizabeth Tucker pondered slightly, nodded and then quickly opened her phone, scrolled through, and handed a photo to Scarlett Jennings.
In the photo was a modest but slightly dull-looking girl with two braids, standing obediently beside Elizabeth Tucker, her eyes glinting slightly as she looked towards the camera.
The audience in the live broadcast also saw the girl’s photo, and immediately someone sent a barrage.
[I’ve seen this younger sister!!!]
[She was in my cohort! But she looks more mature in person than in the photo.]
Scarlett Jennings didn’t know about the barrage, just by looking at that photo, she confirmed,
"She is your daughter."
It’s more apt to say Elizabeth Tucker was in shock than surprised,
"She... really is my daughter? I, I have two daughters?"
Elizabeth Tucker’s reaction was so genuinely bewildered, not seeming fake at all. Ariel Zimmerman, looking on, couldn’t help but mutter to Nathan White beside her,
"Doesn’t she know how many children she gave birth to?"
Nathan White suddenly got addressed, feeling a bit nervous, he turned his head, and seriously and softly answered,
"She has an illness, it’s what you people... people refer to as post-traumatic stress disorder. From suffering major trauma, when one cannot face it, they might selectively forget certain things."
The conversation between the two was heard by Scarlett Jennings, and now looking at Elizabeth Tucker, she understood a bit more.
From Elizabeth Tucker’s facial features, at the same time her other children’s line separated from her, her Couple’s Palace also completely dimmed down.
If according to Nathan White’s words, she must have lost her husband and daughter in the same year.
Scarlett Jennings’ guess was soon confirmed when the program contacted Elizabeth Tucker’s relatives and the truth was finally revealed.
It turned out that Elizabeth had been pregnant with twins, but eight months into her pregnancy, she received the news of her husband’s accidental death. Unable to cope with the shock, she had a difficult delivery and only one of the children survived.
First her husband, and then her child, the consecutive blows made Elizabeth faint.
When she woke up, she chose to forget about the child that had died.
She thought she had only given birth to one child, and her relatives and friends, fearing further distress, also concealed the truth...
Elizabeth never imagined the truth would be this way, and trying to remember made her head start to ache, with her hands instinctively covering her head.
Nathan White hesitated slightly, then stepped forward and gently placed a hand on her head, quickly touching it.
From Scarlett’s perspective, tiny white Spiritual Energies flowed from Nathan’s hand, entering Elizabeth’s brain through his touch.
Elizabeth stiffened, her eyes rapidly filling with tears the next second, as she was plunged into an endless sorrow and pain, her complexion turning pale like paper, her body shaking as if it would collapse.
Fortunately, Elizabeth Tucker was timely in supporting her.
After stabilizing herself, Elizabeth tremblingly tried to open her phone contacts.
But her fingers trembled so violently that she failed several times to find the contact.
Unable to stand by, Elizabeth Tucker clenched her teeth, snatched the phone, and quickly dialed the number.
When the call connected, she did not return the phone to Elizabeth, but instead spoke directly into it,
"My mother wants to see you, come to our house immediately."
Her voice slightly altered, the hand gripping the phone clearly exerting strength, showing that her heart was not as calm as her exterior suggested.
Elizabeth didn’t notice her daughter’s tone; hearing her blunt statement, she felt somewhat dissatisfied.
However, Elizabeth Tucker was assertive,
"Important matters should be discussed face to face; it’s not clear over the phone. Besides, what if she gets agitated on her way here and something happens?"
Although Elizabeth Tucker was eager to confirm the news with the child, she recognized her daughter’s logic and said no more.
The program’s crew then waited together with the Tucker family mother and daughter in the Tucker Family’s living room.
The live audience, curious to witness the mother-daughter recognition, waited patiently without showing any impatience.
About an hour later, the doorbell of the house finally rang.
Already anxious, Elizabeth Tucker rushed forward to open the door. Upon seeing the familiar yet frail figure standing outside, her eyes instantly teared up, her voice choke and shaking,
"Amelia Spring..."
Amelia Tucker’s heart skipped a beat, her face instantly tense, she quickly stepped forward to support her,
"Teacher, what’s wrong? Has something happened?"
Could it be the teacher’s health is failing again...
Amelia Tucker’s worry was unmistakable on her face.
While speaking, she helped Elizabeth Tucker inside, but upon seeing the crowded room full of people and cameras, she suddenly paused.
Before she could ask properly, her arm was abruptly grasped by Elizabeth Tucker, and upon speaking, tears fell,
"Amelia, my daughter... you are my daughter..."
Though still unverified, the moment Elizabeth Tucker saw Amelia again, she was certain—this was her daughter.
Amelia Tucker trembled all over, turning shocked eyes to Elizabeth Tucker, her gaze filled with astonishment.
However, the astonishment was not because Elizabeth Tucker claimed to be her mother, but because Amelia was surprised how Elizabeth Tucker could know this fact.
Scarlett Jennings and several other guests noted Amelia Tucker’s expressions, now all making their assessments.
Amelia Tucker knew about her origins.
But... why had she never spoken about it in the past three years?
