Evelyn Ross was slightly taken aback.
She lowered her head and remained silent for a moment.
Alexander Vance did not rush her.
Evelyn spoke softly, "Many people have said that."
She thought back to her childhood.
Isabella Ashcroft always looked at her with hatred in her eyes.
Because whenever she stood with Sophia Ashcroft.
People would mistake her for Sophia's daughter.
Back then, Isabella never hid her malice.
Shoving, hitting, verbal abuse, leading the isolation.
She was brainwashed by Linda Lowell into believing she owed Isabella.
She never dared to fight back.
Evelyn's eyes darkened. "I used to doubt it too."
She looked at Alexander. "I even wondered if I might not be Linda's biological child."
Unfortunately, the DNA test results shattered that illusion.
When she was found after being kidnapped.
The police conducted a paternity test.
It confirmed she was indeed Linda's daughter.
Alexander's voice was gentle. "That is a pity."
He paused. "But upon closer look, you don't actually resemble Sophia Ashcroft."
It was just their aura that was similar.
Evelyn smiled faintly.
She had deliberately imitated Sophia since she was young.
Learning her mannerisms and behavior.
It was Sophia who helped her break free from Linda's psychological control.
She said self-deprecatingly, "It would have been better if I looked like her."
Alexander suddenly spoke. "Maybe it's a case of atavism?"
Evelyn immediately looked at him. "What do you mean?"
Alexander shook his head. "Nothing."
It was something uncertain.
He didn't want to give her false hope.
…
Sophia Ashcroft and William Ashcroft chased out of the restaurant.
Isabella walked straight towards the parking lot.
They both breathed a sigh of relief.
Sophia seemed confused. "Have I really been偏心 towards Evelyn?"
William supported her. "Not excessively."
He evaluated objectively. "Isabella's jealousy is too strong."
Sophia sighed. "Neither of us are like that."
William said softly, "It's my fault."
He looked at his wife. "Other families don't have a love child."
"Isabella has always had a knot in her heart."
"Now Evelyn is also Dr. Nan."
"It's normal for her to be jealous."
Sophia was silent for a moment.
"Excellence isn't just about ability."
"Since they were young, Isabella had things Evelyn didn't necessarily have."
"Whatever Evelyn had, Isabella definitely had."
"She has no right to blame Evelyn."
She looked at William. "You were wrong to pressure Evelyn to confess just now."
William pressed his forehead. "A-Shu, everyone has their favorites."
"Evelyn Ross is just Linda Lowell's daughter."
"In my heart, only your daughter is my daughter."
"If I had to choose between them."
"I would always choose Isabella."
He held Sophia's shoulders.
"You must remember, no matter how excellent Evelyn is, she has nothing to do with us."
"Isabella is our daughter."
"If something happens to her because you favor Evelyn."
"You will regret it."
Sophia lowered her eyes.
Her heart felt empty.
The three of them reached the car.
Isabella had already calmed down.
The family of three headed to the hospital.
The Roland family was returning to New York today.
Sophia was taking Isabella to apologize.
Isabella behaved with unusual obedience.
Only by obtaining the Roland family's forgiveness.
Would Julian Evans possibly not break off the engagement.
Julian had been ignoring her these past two days.
She was truly panicked.
When they arrived at the hospital.
The Roland family had already packed their luggage.
Chloe Roland kept looking towards the entrance.
She was waiting for her savior.
Her savior had promised to see her off.
But the time had passed.
Her savior still hadn't arrived.
Sophia apologized to Mr. and Mrs. Roland.
Then she walked over to Chloe.
She took a property deed out of her bag.
"Miss Roland, this is our apology."
Chloe looked at her father.
Mrs. Roland took the property deed somewhat unhappily.
She was about to refuse when she froze.
The deed was for a property in the Golden Gate Heights.
This wasn't an ordinary property.
It was an entry ticket into New York's top social circle.
Priceless and rarely on the market.
Mrs. Roland looked at her husband in shock.
Mr. Roland hurriedly declined. "This is too valuable."
Sophia shook her head. "I have settled in San Francisco."
"I no longer wish to be involved in New York affairs."
"Please accept this as our apology."
Mr. Roland finally accepted it.
After the Ashcroft family left.
Mrs. Roland marveled, "Mrs. Ashcroft truly has魄力."
Mr. Roland sighed. "Mrs. Nan was even more impressive in her day."
Mrs. Roland frowned. "It's a pity she had a daughter like that."
Mentioning Isabella.
Mr. Roland also frowned.
He suddenly thought of Evelyn Ross.
She looked so much like Mrs. Nan.
Like grandmother and granddaughter.
Mr. Roland suddenly asked, "Has Miss Ross not arrived yet?"
Ryan Roland looked at his phone. "She can't make it."
His expression was grave. "It seems Miss Ross has gotten into some trouble."
Chloe immediately stood up. "I'm not leaving."
Her tone was firm. "My savior is in trouble. I can't just abandon her and return to New York."
