Suddenly, I'm the Love Child Chapter 11
The woman who'd pretended to be my mother for over a decade was let go shortly after the incident at school. When she left, she finally lowered herself and gave me a gentle hug."I didn't have a kid when I accepted this job, so I had no idea how to love a daughter. When I finally figured it out, you were all grown up."As I watched her leave, I forgave her.I was terrified of going to school after I was publicly beaten up. Dad ended up setting his work aside and going abroad with me, indulging in leisurely father-daughter trips.Half a year later, I'd recovered from my trauma and decided to further my studies abroad. "Mom used to be a traveling artist who went all around the world. I'd like to go to the places she'd been and feel her spirit."Upon hearing this, Dad stopped trying to dissuade me and only said, "It seems I can't stop you from spreading your wings and flying toward the big, blue sky. I'll let you go, but only if you promise to bring the bodyguard I'd arranged for you

"What are you talking about? Annabel is your child! You can't possibly deny that fact for Elodie's sake!" Grandma argued.Dad's icy gaze swept over Grandma and Annabel. "You leave me no choice. You gave birth to Annabel and tried to make her my responsibility, forcing me to raise her like she was my daughter."You were humiliated, too, weren't you? When you realized I'd given half of the company shares to Elodie, you and Annabel decided that you wanted whatever she had."You approached Elodie initially because you were hoping to get something out of it. But when I discovered your intentions, I let you off on a warning."But you and Annabel waited until I was away on business to set her up. You knew I didn't want to bring up the truth about her mother's death because I didn't want to upset her, so you used that to weave your little web of lies and rumors."Annabel and Grandma were trembling with rage, but it was all they could do to vehemently shake their heads in denial.Dad igno

Annabel was beyond caring about such things. She clutched Dad's wrist and challenged him. "I'm your first biological daughter, to begin with. What's the problem? You owe me Chapman Construction Group—I'm its only successor."Dad barked an incredulous, outraged laugh. "Are you done talking?"Grandma pried Dad's hand away and shielded Annabel. "You're scaring Annabel to death! If you're going to lash out at someone, do it to that homewrecker's spawn!"She then turned to give Annabel's shoulder a comforting squeeze, placating her mildly, "That must have scared you. Hush, everything will be fine."Annabel rolled her eyes, but Grandma continued, "I'll make things right for you. Don't worry. Everything in the Chapman family will be yours. Gregory, you must teach Elodie a lesson for barging into school and causing a scene here."There was only cruel calculation in Grandma's tone. Coupled with the hushed warning Dad had given them earlier, I couldn't help but wonder whether there was more

I was so overcome with emotion that I ended up tugging on my wound. Dad clutched my hand, his own shaking as he comforted me anxiously, "They're lying to you. You're the only daughter I have, and you are not illegitimate."I've never kept you hidden from the world all these years, sweetheart. You know that, too."I pressed, "What about Mom? Sometimes, I wonder if she even loves us."I recalled the way my parents behaved as if they were in a partnership over the years. It was always business between them, nothing personal. It felt like they didn't have any real sentiment for one another.Mom had always treated me as if I were an assignment and motherhood as an obligation. She only ever cared about my meals but never my emotions.I wanted to know why, but Dad kept his head down, refusing to meet my inquisitive gaze. "I'm sorry, sweetheart, but this is the only thing I can't tell you. Please try to understand where I'm coming from. I'll give you whatever you want."This was the firs

I cried, "Give me back my phone! You're just scared of getting caught! Let me call the cops!"Seemingly infuriated with my demand, Annabel lunged for me. We were a tangle of arms and legs as we fought. "I gave you a chance to walk away, but you refused. I guess today's the day I show the student body how I put shameless bitches like you in their places!"The students in the audience egged her on. "Well done, Annabel! Show that wannabe who's boss!""Where are the security guards? Can't they see Annabel's having a hard time holding Elodie down? Why aren't they helping her?"Grandma heard this and shot the security guards a pointed look. They immediately stormed onto the stage and grabbed my arms, frog-marching me toward Annabel. She slapped me across both cheeks and even kicked and punched me."I've been wanting to teach you a lesson for ages! I could beat you to death right here and still get away with it because I'm the heiress of the Chapman family!" Annabel hissed.Someone land

"Grandma, she's the one who impersonated me and insisted she was Dad's daughter! Please tell them I'm Dad's biological, legitimate daughter!"The next second, however, Grandma shoved me away. I couldn't catch myself in time and ended up crashing to the ground.Gone was the affable grandmother I'd known, replaced by an old woman who glowered at me fiercely as she snapped, "I'm not your grandmother! Stop going around claiming strangers as your family!"Annabel approached Grandma slowly. The latter took her hand and greeted her with a sweet, "There's my precious granddaughter."Annabel fixed me with a smug look.Grandma appraised me from head to toe, then snorted. "Oh, it's you."I thought her old eyes had deceived her. I was about to speak when her next words made me go still. "Years ago, your mother got pregnant with you and showed up at our doorstep, insisting that Gregory take you in."But your mom was known for going around. Who knows whose bastard she'd been carrying at the
