“Well, it turns out that I’ve been raising someone else’s trash for 18 years!” Once they were in the room, Xia Dengfeng insisted that Xia Zhiwan was not his biological child and slapped her hatefully.

Madame Xia, who followed upstairs to plead, was also knocked onto the floor. “Is it you? Did you cheat on me?!”

Madame Xia knelt and pleaded, “I didn’t, I really didn’t! If you don’t believe it, we can get a paternity test!”

Every minute and every second of waiting was torture to Xia Zhiwan. If she was not the Xia family’s daughter, she must be the greatest joke of all time.

The moment the paternity test report was out, Xia Zhiwan let out a breath of relief and sank onto the ground. It was written that Xia Zhiwan was Xia Dengfeng’s biological child.

Xia Dengfeng’s expression started becoming complex. “You’re really my child… But why don’t you have the ability?”

For hundreds of years, the Xia family had relied on this ability to find jewels in countless ordinary-looking stones. Thus, they could buy them at low prices and sell them at high prices. That was how they dominated the industry!

Every leader of the Xia family had become a guest of honor in countless political and business situations because of this ability. This was a major driving force behind their huge profits!

However, Xia Zhiwan could not awaken the ability during the coming of age ceremony!

Xia Dengfeng knew very well that his ability was rapidly getting weaker. At this stage, he was mainly making judgments based on his experience instead of his intuition.

At this point, the Xia family might lose their long domination in the jewelry industry. Their rivals might even come together to suppress them!

He definitely could not let that happen!

“Father, maybe my ability will awaken a little later, or… Even if I don’t have the ability, I’ll continue to study hard… ” Xia Zhiwan wept and pleaded with her father to not give up on her.

Xia Dengfeng had a dejected expression. He shook his head, sighed, and left.

Naturally, countless people were following the Xia family’s news.

Everyone knew Xia Dengfeng’s worries and became ambitious. At this moment, the Xia family’s situation was very worrying as their successor turned out to be trash. If they did not take advantage to take over the jewelry industry, what were they waiting for?

Xia Zhiwan, who was still flattered by others a few days ago, had become the main focus for gossip. Even the Xia family’s ordinary employees were looking down at her and mocking her in their hearts.
