Jasmin cried desperately for a while, hoping to hear comforting words from Amanda, but none came.
Just as she was puzzled, she looked up and met Amanda’s eyes, which were filled with both anger and confusion.
“You‘ re actually Christopher’s illegitimate daughter?!”
Jasmin was completely thrown off balance, but she was quick–witted and immediately regained her composure. “Mom, what are you talking about? I‘ m Jasmin, your daughter that you‘ ve raised for so many years!”

“Don’t you remember? From when I was little, you always pampered me the most. Every time I fell, you stayed up all night by my side. No matter what I wanted, you always gave it to me.”
“Although I’m just your adopted daughter,

to you, I’m no different from your biological daughter! Mom, don’t you want me anymore?”
Amanda clutched her chest in pain, but she couldn’t say a word.
All these years, she had poured so much. motherly love into Jasmin, and those feelings were impossible to sever.
Perhaps this paternity report was fake.
Maybe Jasmin didn’t even know who her biological parents were.
After all, she was the daughter Amanda had loved and cared for all these years!
Seeing Amanda‘ s expression soften, Jasmin quickly crawled to her side and rested her head on her lap, just like when she was a child:

Amanda even instinctively reached out to stroke Jasmin’s hair.

However, at that moment, Stephen
received a test report from the security guard.
With trembling hands, he handed the report to Amanda.
The pill on the report was exactly the one Jasmin had always given to Amanda, and the test results below read:
[A small amount can cause mental confusion, headaches, and other symptoms. Large doses can lead to paralysis and complete loss of motor function.]
Amanda’s hand, which had been reaching out to stroke Jasmin, turned into a heavy slap across Jasmin’s face.
“All these years, I’ve poured my heart into. you, and what about you? What have you done to me! You actually tried to kill me!” Amanda finally understood why her health had deteriorated over the years.
It turned out that Jasmin had been feeding

her poison every day.
Seeing that her plan had been exposed, Jasmin stopped pretending. “You keep saying you love me, but why wouldn’t you give me all of Brooks family’s assets? Why do I have to split it with that idiot Stephen? Isn’t it because you value sons over daughters?”
“You never think about it. You‘ re so stupid, raising your husband‘ s illegitimate daughter as if she were your own, and even turning your own daughter into a deaf mute and sending her to the countryside. A woman as dumb as you, what kind of son would you raise? If you leave half of Brooks family’s assets to him, he’ll ruin it all eventually!”
Amanda felt as though her heart was shattering.
Yet Jasmin, oblivious to her pain, continued her rant. “I’ll tell you this, over the years, Dad secretly transferred most of Brooks family’s assets! If you let me go, I

can still get Dad to give you some money to support you in your old age. But if you dare do anything to me, I’ll make sure Dad kills you all!”
Stephen could no longer hold back, and with one swift kick, he knocked Jasmin to the ground. Amanda immediately contacted her lawyer to begin asset liquidation.
But it was already too late.
Christopher had already transferred most of the assets without Amanda‘ s knowledge. And now, due to the scandal from a few days ago, Brooks family was deeply in debt. All that remained in Amanda’s hands were piles of debt.
Upon learning the truth, Amanda spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
