Chapter 164 I Am Not Your Biological Daughter (2/2)

”Is that why you come here today?” Vernon asked angrily.

Courtney gently smiled and shook her head. ”Uncle, Amelia is your daughter. She is also very anxious. I know you don't want her here, but at least she isn't laughing at you. What's funny is that you misunderstood your daughter's feelings!”

”Courtney.” Amelia urgently pulled Courtney's hand to stop her.

”If you feel guilty, you can accept the punishment. After that, we will try solving it reasonably.” Courtney's voice was firm.

She thought it was the only way. Without speaking a sentence longer, she stood up and dragged Amelia toward the door.

Amelia could see a furious Vernon in the living room, and she felt worse.

Just as she took a few steps, Vernon's cold voice echoed in her ears. ”You're so heartless. It proves that you really aren't my daughter.”

Wasn't Amelia his daughter? She stopped on her tracks and turned around. Her confused eyes stared at Vernon for a long time, as if trying to digest his words.

”What do you mean, uncle?” Courtney wasn't calm either. She frowned and walked over to Vernon.

Vernon raised his head to glance at Amelia. He smiled bitterly and said, ”Just think about why Lucian was so mean to me. Wasn't it because he knew your background?”

”My background?” Amelia whispered to herself, too afraid to say it out loud.

”You don't even have the family name Mo. You're just an adopted child!” The irony in his tone was unmistakable.
