Chapter 5

Author: Hedgebud
Neil could not hold back any longer and pulled out his ID to show it to her.

“Take a good look, madam. I’m sixteen years old.

“Most people go to college following the usual path, but my mom says I’m smart. I skipped two grades in elementary school and was the youngest in my class.

“There’s no way I could be your son, unless you somehow came back from the dead two years after dying to get pregnant and give birth!”

The crowd burst into laughter. Neil’s elementary school teacher stepped forward.

“That’s right! Back then, Neil was the youngest in the class!

“His classmates always looked out for him. I’ve watched him grow up all these years. There’s no way I could be mistaken!

“Neil is definitely Ms. Wilde’s child. He used to run around the organization all the time and even attended our lectures!”

Lillian stared blankly at the ID card. Meeting my smile, her defenses crumbled instantly. “Impossible! Shea, you lied to me!

“Did you swap babies? Tell me!”

Linden chimed in from the si

    No matter how much I pressed her back then, she never said a word. I never imagined the child’s father would be Linden.I could only shake my head at the truth. Lillian, you brought this upon yourself!The two were taken away by the police, both bruised and battered. Ben was brought in for questioning as well.As a witness, I followed along. The graduation banquet suddenly shot to the top of the trending topics because of the two of them.[Provincial Valedictorian’s Background Questioned: Is It a Case of the Cuckoo Taking a Magpie’s Nest, or Are There Hidden Truths?]Netizens eagerly gossiped.“The moment of truth has arrived! Did she really think someone else would raise her child for her?”“Passing the entrance exam at 16? If he did a combined bachelor’s-master’s program, he would be marrying at the perfect age!”“I see the valedictorian’s dad still has his charm!”“But the valedictorian’s mom has such poise too! I love this whole family!”“Future in-laws, reserve your spot

    “I’ve never heard of the Reyes family having a daughter like her! At the Reyes Corporation’s annual meeting, there was a photo of the eldest daughter. She looked nothing like her!”“She might even be an illegitimate child herself. Let’s see what the police say when they arrive!”“That hospital is definitely shady!”Netizens were already in an uproar. Lillian finally realized just how dire her situation was. She pulled out her phone to glance at it. Her face instantly turned pale.She showed no concern for Ben standing before her, leaving him helpless and at a loss.He glanced back at me. I patted his shoulder. “It’s okay. You’re an adult now. Whether she acknowledges you or not, you must live your life well!”William extended his slender fingers and took the paternity test report. “Whether she acknowledges it or not, your blood relationship cannot be denied.“This paternity test is the definitive proof.”Lillian was overcome with panic and shook her head. “Impossible! You’re ly

    I shrugged helplessly. “Because your identity isn’t confirmed either! Who knows if you’re really Lilian Reyes?”I had my assistant bring all my evidence along. It had been kept perfectly intact all these years.Officer Myers was the police officer who had turned up at the hospital back then. He was the one who had suggested I send the child to the orphanage.“Lillian died back then. I took her death certificate to the police station and had her ID card revoked. Who can prove you’re the Lillian Reyes from back then?”Hearing this, she pointed at me, trembling all over. “You... How dare you!”“Why wouldn’t I dare? You’re an orphan! Your mother died young, and back then, my family and the neighbors were the ones who supported you. After you died, it naturally fell to me to handle your affairs!“How could you have been unaware of this? If you really were the Lillian from back then, then all these years since you came back to life, whose identity have you been using?”My question hit

    “Yes, I sent him to the orphanage back then. All these years, I’ve kept watching over him. He should be graduating from vocational school this year. Of course, he can’t compare to our Neil. His aptitude just isn’t up to par.”My words cut deep. It shattered her composure instantly.“Shea, you wretch! You left my son in an orphanage!”“What choice did I have? I was just a student back then. How was I supposed to get married with a baby in my arms?”In my past life, I had listened to her and took the child home. But my neighbors gossiped relentlessly, and my parents disowned me.They insisted I had the child through loose morals and was abandoned by the father.No matter how I explained myself, no one believed me. I could not find a husband either.The moment suitors heard I was a working single mother with a son, they would shake their heads. They were utterly unwilling to accept me.The few who did agree were either older widowers or lifelong bachelors. Even so, they demanded t

    Lillian froze. Her expression darkened before she forced a smile. “Shea, don’t joke with me. You said it yourself, you don’t believe in getting married.“Besides, you have a son. Who would dare marry you? Stop messing around and give me back the child right now!”She turned to Neil. “Neil, you are the valedictorian. Mommy will take you back to the capital. When you meet your grandfather, he’ll surely hold you in high regard. Then, the two of us, mother and son, will have endless wealth and prestige from the Reyes family!”Neil took a step back and shot her a withering look. “Madam, if you’ve got a screw loose, go get it fixed.“My father is a renowned entrepreneur, and my mother heads a prestigious educational institution. While we may not match the capital’s Reyes family, we’re certainly well-off.“As a valedictorian, my future is already bright. What use do I have for your wealth and prestige? Besides, I’m not even your son!”Lillian’s anger flared. “Shea, what kind of love pot
