Chapter 8
All of that had been prepared by me.
After uncovering the truth, I secretly installed
surveillance cameras all around the house
just for this day.

At first, the guests were frozen in shock at the
scandal unfolding before their eyes. But soon,
the entire hall erupted into whispers and
gasps.
“Isn’t Logan Cecilia’s husband? And he’s
sleeping with Leah, too? Even got her

pregnant?”
“It sounds like the Ellis elders knew all along
that their daughter was the other woman.

Shameless!”
“They kicked Cecilia out for Leah, and now
they’ve taken her husband too?
Unbelievable.”
“And Logan’s no better. Everyone thought he
was some noble, devoted man when he
married Cecilia. Turns out he’s nothing but a
two–timer!”

“He just wanted to cling to the Ellis family’s
power. Kept his wife at home while chasing
after their so–called real daughter!”
“Exactly!”

Leah finally snapped, screaming, “Turn it off!
Turn it off right now!”
But it was far too late. The situation had
already slipped from her hands.
The footage continued rolling until the final clip ended. The screen went black, and the

lights in the banquet hall flickered back on.
At that very moment, a sharply dressed
young man strode into the hall.
Some guests who recognized him quickly
stepped aside to clear a path.
Felix’s expression stiffened the moment he
saw who it was. “Assistant William, what
brings you here?”

Assistant William didn’t raise his voice, but in
the stillness of the hall, every word rang out

clear and sharp. “Mr. Ellis asked me to deliver
something and to pass along a message.”
The mention of “Mr. Ellis” drew a sharp gasp
from the crowd.
After all, Leah’s family was only a minor
branch of the Ellis family. A mere birthday
banquet should never have warranted Mr.
Ellis’s personal attention.
Assistant William handed a document to
Felix. As Felix read it, the color drained from
his face. Then, William’s voice lifted slightly,

“Mr. Ellis said, if you can’t even recognize
your own daughter and are about to transfer
shares to an outsider, then the Ellis family can
no longer afford this disgrace. From this
moment forward, you are no longer part of
the Ellis family.”
With that, he turned and strode out, leaving
behind a hall erupting in chaos.
I turned to Charlie in disbelief. He met my
gaze, then leaned over slightly, his tone

proud. “I was the one who sent William.”
“Three years ago, when I found out they
kicked you out, I had people investigate everything.” His voice turned cold. “They dared treat you like that for a fraud.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
His eyes widened slightly. “You were the one
who told me not to touch them.”
Only then did I remember, back then, when
he wanted to confront my adoptive parents, I

“It was only for you that I ever gave them a
second glance,” he said, his gaze fixed on the screen, sharp as blades. “But now, it’s time
they paid for their stupidity.”
On–screen, Helen was on the verge of
collapse, screaming and sobbing at the sight
of the DNA report.
Felix, never one for words, slapped Leah
10:04 AM Mon 23 Jun

across the face twice, then kicked her to the
ground. “You filthy wretch! How dare you lie
to me!”
Stunned into silence, Leah took several
seconds to process it before bursting into
tears. “I didn’t! I didn’t!”
She clung to Felix’s pant leg as if grabbing
hold of her last lifeline. “Dad, it’s fake! I was
framed!”

Two more slaps landed across her face. “Still
lying?! You got us kicked out of the family! I’ll
kill you!”

Years of cosmetic procedures had left her
face fragile. Now her nose was swollen, her
jaw crooked from the blows.
Logan, still clueless about who Assistant
William really was and unaware of how
serious things had become, stepped forward
to shield her. “Dad, please calm down. There
has to be some kind of misunderstanding!”

But Felix, fully aware of Assistant William’s
identity, was already fuming. His face twisted
in fury as he slapped Logan hard across the
face.

“Shut your mouth! If you hadn’t cheated with
this whore, none of this would’ve happened!
Let me make this clear: my family might be
ruined, but your Gibson family won’t get off easy either!”
With Logan now taking the blame, Leah
crawled toward her mother on hands and
knees in a panic.
“Mom, save me! Dad’s lost his mind!
Someone’s trying to hurt me! Ah…!”
Helen struck her across the face, her sharp
nails leaving a bloody gash down Leah’s

Then she grabbed Leah by the neck, her
expression consumed by fury. “You’re not my
daughter! Where is my real daughter?! What
have you done with her?!”
The room descended into utter chaos.
I turned off the screen and exhaled slowly.
Charlie was right. This was exactly what they deserved.
