Ivamma’s ability to adapt and her eloquence were truly remarkable. After all, it was these very traits that had allowed her to win Arthur’s heart in just two weeks all those years ag
As she spoke, Ivanna reached out and held Arthur’s hands, her eyes filled with tenderness, “Arthur, I fell for you at first sight, and all these years, my heart has belonged to you alone,

As his anger dissipated, the tension in his borly eased. Only then did he feel the sharp pain in his legs, reminding him that his fractures hadn’t fully healed.
His body swayed unsteadily, and before he could fall, Ivanna was already at his side, guiding him into the wheelchair with ease. Arthur felt her concern and gently patted Ivanna’s hand, his tone soothing. “Ivanna, I trust you.”
Ivanna finally felt the weight lift off her chest upon hearing his words. She thought, “What a clueless idiot. Only someone as hopelessly infatuated as Belinda would tall for his lies so easily.

Claude noticed Arilor had dismissed all his doubts, and a faint, almost imperceptible smirk tugged at the corners of his lips.

Arthur, on the other hand, was now glaring at Camila with utter disdain. His cold smile carried a sharp edge. “Trying to drive a wedge between me and Ivanna with such petty tricks? You’ve really miscalculated..
“I’ve been in the business world for nearly thirty years. Your little tricks don’t even faze me. You truly are a product of the Davis family. cunning and venomous. That smug face of yours? It makes me sick to my stomach.
Arthur had expected his harsh words to leave Camila flustered, humiliated, and at a loss for words.
But instead, she looked at him with a calm yet piercing gaze, her eyes filled with pity, as if she were staring at a man too blind to see the
Truth
Arthur couldn’t stand the way Camila looked at him. It was as if she saw him as nothing more than worthless mud, not even worth arguing with.
The memory of his childhood in that
poor village, where his family was the poorest of them all, came rushing back to him.
In that tiny village, anyone could push him around. He was sick of that contemptuous gaze. Arthur’s face twisted in fury. “Why are you looking at me like that?” he roared.
Camila smirked coldly. “Arthur, you’re beyond help. The truth is staring you right in the face, but you’re choosing to bury your head in the sand and listen to Ivanna’s lies.
“If you don’t trust the documents, open your eyes, Arthur! Can’t you see Agnes is a spitting image of Sean?”
When Camila finished speaking, all the people’s attention turned to Claude.
Claude was just a driver, and he always deliberately kept a low profile, so no one really paid much attention to him.
Now that Camila had pointed it out, it clicked for everyone. Agnes’s nose and mouth could have been copied straight from Claude
Arthur’s face feil, but Ivanna jumped in quickly. “They say nieces take after their uncles. What’s so weird about Agnes looking like her uncle?”
Arthur visibly relaxed, “Right! A dirty mind finds dirt in everything
Camila’s smirk widened. “In that case, let’s settle this with a DNA test,”
The words hung in the air, freezing Ivanna, Agnes, and Claude in their tracks.
“If you’re so sure Agnes is your biological daughter, why not prove it with a DNA test Camila’s gaze locked onto Arthur, her tone sharp and unrelenting
Arthur hands gripped the wheelchair’s armrests tightly, his face pale and tense, but he remained silent.
“What’s the matter? Afraid of the truth?” Camila sneered, her words dripping with mockery. “Or maybe we should have Agnes and Claude take a paternity test instead?”
Arthur’s fear was evident as he faced Camila’s unwavering confidence.
If it turned out Agnes wasn’t his daughter, then all the sacrifices he had made–hurting his wife, son, and the other daughter for Agnes- would become a joke. It wasn’t that he didn’t want the test. He simply didn’t have the courage to face the truth.
“Perfect timing, Giovani finally said, his voice calm yet commanding. “Since Dr. Walker is here, Turner, go collect hair samples from Arthur, Agnes, and Claude, and hand them over to Dr. Walker”
Turner immediately stepped forward to carry out the order.
Claude’s heart sank. If the truth came out, there was no way his family of three would leave the Campbell residence unscathed. Desperation took over, and he decided to make a move. Clenching his jaw, he swung his fist at Turner.
But before his punch could land, Turner caught his wrist effortlessly. With a swift and forceful twist, Turner brought Claude to his
A sickening “crack” echoed as Claude’s shoulder dislocated. He let out a guttural scream of pain, completely incapacitated.
