Chapter 7
Aurora was now brimming with confidence and immediately turned to Alexander and Valentina for help. “Mom said this was a gift she personally gave me and told me to take good care of it. Why are you trying to steal my belongings?
“Dad, Mom, she’s been bullying me at home just because she’s prettier and has more suitors. Now, right in front of you, she’s still trying to take my things. You have to stand up for me.”
Valentina’s gaze was anxious, constantly shifting between my face and Aurora’s.
Seeing this, Jacob immediately spoke up for Aurora. However, at that moment, having heard that Alexander was searching for his biological daughter, all the village leaders came rushing over.
Upon seeing Natalia, tears instantly streamed down my face. “Mrs. Nelson, Jacob stole my bracelet and gave it to Aurora. Aurora is trying to use my belongings to reunite with my parents. What should I do?”
In this impoverished era, jewelry was a rare commodity.
Nobody else had any, but I alone possessed an exquisite bracelet, so everyone in the village knew this bracelet belonged
to me.
All their eyes fell on Aurora’s wrist. Instantly, they confirmed it
1/4
was mine.
Natalia said, “Jacob, you’ve always mistreated Kennedy. Now that her parents are here, why are you trying to steal Kennedy’s identity?”
A man said, “I’ve long suspected something was off between Jacob and Aurora. Kennedy works hard to earn money, yet Jacob forces Kennedy to give the money to Aurora. Kennedy personally goes fishing, yet Jacob gives most of the fish to Aurora. Now that Kennedy’s parents are here, you dare to impersonate her identity!”
A woman said, “Jacob, Aurora, you two are absolute scumbags!”
Hearing their words, Jacob and Aurora’s faces turned red. However, they refused to give up this opportunity to change their identity and social status, continuing to argue desperately.
But nobody present was a fool. At this point, how could Alexander and Valentina possibly fail to distinguish our identities?
Valentina gently stroked my hair, looking earnestly into my eyes. “I’m sorry. I failed to recognize you immediately.”
Embracing Valentina, I could no longer hold back, and tears instantly fell. “This isn’t your fault. The enemy was just too cunning.”
Following my reminder, Alexander and Valentina immediately looked toward Aurora and Ariana.
Seeing the truth exposed, they were so frightened their legs went weak.
Normally, Ariana was quite arrogant, relying on her status.
But at this moment, just one look from Alexander scared her to
tears.
She said, “Why are you looking at me? You only said you were looking for the owner of the test paper. Kennedy sold her grades to me, so I’m the owner of the test paper.
“If you want to blame someone, blame Kennedy for being greedy. She’s addicted to pleasure and insisted on selling her grades to me for five hundred dollars. Your daughter is shameless. I never wanted to compete with her.”
Valentina looked at me with confusion, and I sighed, saying, “Mom, this matter starts with my husband Jacob.”
Suddenly being mentioned, Jacob immediately changed his expression.
“Kennedy, I made a mistake earlier. I never imagined you were actually General Taylor’s daughter. Let me introduce myself. I’m Kennedy’s husband. We have a marriage certificate and are legally married.
“Kennedy, this is wonderful. From now on, you won’t have to envy others for having parents,” Jacob said with a smile.
Hearing his fake gentle voice, I raised an eyebrow slightly and pulled away from him. “Sorry, Jacob. When you slandered me and tore my clothes, I already told you I wanted a divorce. So they’re my parents, not yours.”
