Chapter 43 Has Her Identity Changed?

Chapter 43 Has Her Identity Changed?

With someone backing her up, Joan became even more aggressive, wishing she could pin all the blame on Eve.

"You just said the 1.5 billion withdrawn from the family was all given to her?" The old man squinted at Joan, his cane pointing in Eve's direction.

"Yes, it was all given to her," Joan shouted excitedly. "Who knows what tricks this bitch used to make my dad want to give her all our family's money."

Slap!

Another loud slap left Joan completely stunned.

Looking at the old man's trembling body and the large hand he had just pulled back, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Grandpa, why... why did you hit me too?" Joan shrieked.

"Shut up!" Hank snorted coldly. When he turned to look at Eve, his eyes held an incomprehensible complexity and a trace of excitement.

"Ms. Moore, may I presume to ask you a few questions?"

"Go check it out!" Sebastian narrowed his eyes and quietly instructed Chase.

This old man from the Wests had stopped managing affairs years ago, handing over everything to Roman. For all these years, he had mostly stayed home practicing meditation - this was no longer news in high society circles.

However, such a reclusive old man appeared today, and his behavior...

Was truly suspicious.

Eve nodded. Hank's reaction was clearly off.

Her interest was genuinely piqued.

"Ms. Moore, have you been to Harbor City?" Hank got straight to the point.

"Harbor City?" Eve nodded, then shook her head.

In her past life, forget Harbor City - she had been to basically any place you could name in the country.

However, the current Eve...

She looked down at her round belly, those chubby legs, plus all of Lynn's torment during childhood - surviving to adulthood was already remarkable.

How could she have had the chance to go somewhere as far as Harbor City?

"I haven't been there." Since she was the current Eve, then she hadn't been there.

Disappointment flashed in Hank's eyes. He took a deep breath and looked at Eve again. "This question might be a bit presumptuous. I hope Ms. Moore won't mind."

Eve nodded, her face still calm, though internally she couldn't help but complain.

If you know it's presumptuous, why ask?

"Ms. Moore, are you your parents' biological daughter?" Hank asked directly.

What?

Not only did Eve frown, but even the viewers watching the livestream were shocked.

Hank's question was truly presumptuous.

To directly ask if someone is their parents' biological child?

If not, was she adopted?

Did he really expect Eve to answer like that?

At the same time, George, who was watching Eve's livestream at home, froze, his weathered eyes full of shock.

Could this old man be...?

Realizing something, he didn't dare delay. He stood up and headed for the door.

Just as he opened it, he saw Lynn, who had also noticed something wrong from the livestream and rushed back.

"We'll talk in the car. We're going to Emerald City High School now." George was rarely this assertive, pulling Lynn along.

Though Lynn had many questions, seeing his furrowed brow, she could only close her mouth and follow closely.

"Yes!" Eve's answer was firm and clear.

"I am my parents'..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the Wests old man's phone ringing.

"Sorry, let me take this call." The old man looked at Eve with conflicted eyes before answering.

In less than a minute, his expression changed from initial worry to shock to joy.

After hanging up, his gaze toward Eve became even more conflicted.

His hand gripping the cane trembled slightly.

"There's a problem with my background?" Eve was sharp enough to read Hank's behavior.

"Ms. Moore, please look at this first."

Hank took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions. With trembling hands, he pulled out an old photograph from inside his clothes.

The photo showed a man and woman embracing under countless plane trees, with golden sunset light behind them.

The man was handsome, the woman beautiful.

Through the photo, you could see the woman's prominently rounded belly.

Both wore excited smiles on their faces.

Seeing the faces in the photo clearly, Eve's eyes narrowed instantly as she looked at Hank with suspicion.

She had a vague answer in her heart.

"Ms. Moore, George and Lynn are only your adoptive parents. These two people are your biological parents - my son and... daughter-in-law."

'What's going on? Eve is actually from Harbor City's the Wests?'

'Wow, another plot twist! This is more exciting than any short drama.'

'So Eve is actually the Wests' eldest daughter? Does that make Joan the second daughter?'

...

Eve had no time to pay attention to the chat channel. "Evidence?"

She wasn't some three-year-old child, and she wouldn't question her background just because of Hank's words.

"When I saw you on the livestream, I started suspecting your background. I had my assistant do a paternity test when I came. That phone call was the test results." Hank explained excitedly. "Eve, I'm your grandfather, your real grandfather."

"Shut up!" Eve looked at Hank coldly. She didn't doubt his words.

After all, unless he was crazy, he wouldn't lie about this - there was no benefit in it for him, right?

"Hank, if you want to acknowledge this relationship, you should at least explain what happened back then, shouldn't you?"

If she was the Wests' eldest daughter, how did she become the Moores' daughter?

Sigh—

A long sigh came as Roman looked at Eve with complex emotions. "Let me tell this story."

Eve nodded.

Roman didn't hold back, calmly recounting what had happened in the past.

As he spoke more, the secrets once hidden by the wealthy family were completely exposed.

Eve clenched her fists, her already cold black eyes flashing with barely suppressed rage.

She completely missed the fleeting joy in Sebastian's eyes.

It's you. After all this time, it's still you!

"The Wests, very good, very good!" Eve's bleak laughter filled the livestream, but her eyes grew colder and colder.
