Chapter 123: To gain all
"It doesn’t make any sense... Are you trying to tell me that my biological father isn’t actually my father?" Angel’s voice trembled with disbelief, her brows furrowing as she tried to process the shocking revelation.
Arthur exhaled slowly, his gaze unwavering as he responded with eerie calmness.
"Well, my dear, if that is what you’re seeing in front of you, then yes. Embrace the harsh truth—everything you now know has always been real. You are Wang Lim’s daughter."
A deafening silence fell between them. Angel’s mind spiraled into chaos, her thoughts colliding in a desperate attempt to make sense of it all.
She lowered her head, her breath shallow, before finally raising her eyes to meet Arthur’s. Her expression was unreadable, but when she spoke, her voice was as cold as ice.
"How long have you known about this?"
Arthur chuckled softly, though there was no humor in his voice.
"Long enough to do everything in my power to protect you. But you... you were always so stubborn, so adamant about carving your own path. You really think Tryson loves you?"
Angel’s composure cracked. Fury flashed in her eyes as she took a sharp step forward.
"Then why didn’t you tell me? Why did you keep it from me? Why did everyone keep it from me?" Her voice rose with each word, trembling with anger and betrayal.
Arthur’s expression shifted slightly—a deliberate frown, calculated to make it seem as though her words had piqued his interest. But his true focus sharpened when she said everyone.
