I had invited her here on purpose for this very moment.

Susan took the microphone.

I gave her a gentle nod. "Susie, don’t be nervous. Just tell everyone exactly what you saw back then."

  • No Longer My Burden   Chapter 9

    Sebastian sued Sophia until she was left with nothing. He reclaimed the villa and luxury cars he had gifted her during the marriage and left her without a single cent in assets.I also filed a lawsuit against her, demanding compensation for the emotional distress caused by her defamation of my family.On the day the verdict was issued, Sophia stood outside what had once been her home, dragging a suitcase and begging bitterly, only to be blocked by security and refused entry.With no other choice, she called our parents and squeezed back into that cramped old apartment overnight.For the next half month, Mom and Dad called me almost every day."Natalie, Sophia is so pitiful. We’re still family. If you have any empty rooms, why not let her stay with you?""I'm begging you as your mother. Just think of it as doing a good deed. Help Sophia and our family."Listening to their tearful pleas, I let out a faint, cold laugh."When you helped her frame me and ruin Elliot’s admission part

  • No Longer My Burden   Chapter 8

    Hearing those words, Tom was completely stunned."Impossible! My parents died a long time ago! What right do you have to say you’re my parents?"I walked up to him and studied him carefully. Even though his hair hadn’t been trimmed in ages, hanging over his eyes, and his beard was unshaven, I could still recognize him.After all, in my previous life, I had raised him painstakingly for over ten years."You’re Tom, the one who grew up at the Westside Welfare Home, right?" I crouched down and looked at him with a smile. "Those two are your biological parents. If you don’t believe it, you can do a DNA test. And you can see for yourself that they’re not short on money."The moment money was mentioned, Tom’s eyes lit up. "Right, right, there’s no need for a DNA test. I’m your son! Dad, Mom, I’ve waited for you for over ten years. Take me home now!"The speed at which he switched faces was impressive even to me.Sophia shook her head, unable to believe what she was seeing. "I don’t bel

  • No Longer My Burden   Chapter 7

    I held another admission party for my son. This time, Sophia didn’t show up to cause trouble.After the party ended, I received another call from Mom."Natalie, Sophia went to the police station but couldn’t find anyone. They said it’s been over ten years, and none of the officers remember that abandoned baby case anymore. If she wants to keep looking, she needs the original reporter’s ID!"I'm begging you, can you come back and help Sophia find her biological child?"I had already expected this. I replied lazily, "Mom, are you sure you still want to look? It’s been so many years. Who knows what that child has turned into? What if you find him and he comes back to drain you dry?""How can you talk like that? That’s still Sophia’s biological child! Besides, Sebastian has plenty of money. Raising one more child is nothing to him."Since they were determined to look, I didn’t bother stopping them. "Fine. I’ll help her look. But let me be clear. Whatever happens after we find him has

Someone left a cardboard box with a baby inside at Natalie’s doorstep."Later, her parents forced Natalie to adopt the child. Natalie refused, so they called the police. The key point is that Sophia insisted from start to finish that the baby belonged to Natalie. She never once said it was a child she had given birth to!"The moment those words landed, the room erupted again.Smiling, I patted Susan on the shoulder. "Thank you, Susie. I’ll tell everyone the rest of the truth."With that, I projected a video onto the large screen. The footage clearly showed Sophia from years ago, sneaking over and placing the cardboard box with the baby at our doorstep.Sophia’s face turned deathly pale."So she was the one who dumped the baby at someone else’s door, and th

    Sophia looked momentarily awkward, but she immediately wiped her eyes and put on the expression of someone deeply wronged."Kid, it’s not your fault if you don’t recognize me. After I gave birth to you back then, Natalie took advantage of a moment when I wasn’t paying attention and secretly snuck you away. Then she cut off contact with the family and moved out. I was busy preparing to marry Sebastian and managing household matters, so I never had the chance to come back and look for you…"Look, now your mom and dad are back. Langford Corporation will be yours to inherit in the future, too. Come back to your parents’ side soon."As she spoke, she deliberately straightened her posture, lifting a hand to caress the diamond necklace around her neck, flaunting the expensive jewelry she was wearing.In my previous life, Tom had run to her without hesitation the moment he saw who had more money.This time, things were completely different.She had no idea that Northvale Holdings had lon

  • No Longer My Burden   Chapter 4

    On the day of the party, my parents arrived at the venue early.The moment Mom saw Elliot in his tailored suit, her face lit up with a wide smile as she rushed over, reaching out to pull him into a hug.Elliot smoothly stepped aside, dodging her embrace. A trace of distance flickered through his eyes.Mom froze in place, instantly embarrassed.Smiling, I wrapped an arm around Elliot’s shoulder. "Sorry. He’s never liked physical contact with people he isn’t familiar with."Dad’s face darkened immediately. He pointed at me angrily. "What kind of nonsense is that? We’re his grandparents by blood. How are we strangers?""You didn’t raise him, and you never fulfilled any responsibility as elders. To him, you’re no different from strangers.""You—!" Mom snapped, "How can you talk like that? We’re your parents. We’re your son’s grandparents!""I already cut ties with you a long time ago. I didn’t invite you here. If you’re unhappy, feel free to leave."I couldn’t be bothered to argue
