Chapter 1148

"Breaking news: SH2N announces breakthrough progress with clinical trials set to begin in the third quarter of next year," the morning news anchor reported.

Elizabeth glanced up from her toast, her attention caught by the broadcast. This was the best news she'd heard all week.

"Yesterday, paparazzi spotted Henry traveling overseas with Allen and Leon Russell. This comes just one week after the funeral of Esme Russell, the socialite from the prominent Russell family. Let's take a look back at the family's recent history."

"Industry insiders have long speculated that Esme Russell wasn't Allen and Leon's biological daughter, though these rumors were never confirmed. However, in an exclusive interview with our entertainment correspondent yesterday, Henry revealed that Esme was indeed not biologically related to Allen and Leon."

"The Russell family's devotion to Esme was always apparent to those who knew them," the reporter noted, glancing down at her notes before continuing. "While she wasn't their biological child, they truly raised her as their own. Their relationship exemplifies what adoption can be at its best.

"Of course, countless adoptive parents across Lisbun show this same level of commitment and love every day. These individuals open their hearts and homes to children in need, creating families bound by love rather than just DNA. And that deserves our recognition."

Elizabeth held her bowl and couldn't help but look at Rose.

"What?" Rose teased her.

Compared to Rose's state after Elizabeth learned the truth yesterday, Rose was obviously much more relaxed today.

"Thank you, mom. You have treated me so well that I never felt like I was someone else's child." Elizabeth smiled, feeling grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Rose handed Elizabeth a fork with tortellini, "Good girl."

Declan came down the stairs, saw the harmonious scene between mother and daughter, and greeted them with a smile, "Good morning."

"Dad, if you keep dawdling, you'll be late." Elizabeth reminded Declan.

Declan ignored her.

He still sat down slowly, picked up a piece of bread, and asked, "In a good mood?"

"Since both Mom and Dad are here, I want to report my future life plans!" Elizabeth raised her face confidently.

Declan and Rose looked at Elizabeth with interest.

Elizabeth's life plans?

They were very willing to listen.

"Mom and Dad, I plan to open a studio. To design jewelry." Elizabeth told them.

Rose was a bit surprised, "Do you know how to design jewelry? Didn't you dislike designing since you were a child?"

"Mom, I'm sorry, but I've been hiding something from you." Elizabeth bit her lip, feeling it was time to tell them.

Both of them looked at Elizabeth.

"Do you know Kennedy? The jewelry designer." Elizabeth asked.

Rose immediately nodded, she knew!

Very famous, everyone loved Kennedy's designs.

"Could it be that you are Kennedy?" Declan asked casually.

He continued to take a bite of bread, but saw Elizabeth nodding seriously.

Declan was stunned. "W-what?"

He choked on the bread in his mouth, looking at Elizabeth in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"I said, yes." Elizabeth nodded, "I am Kennedy."

Rose pulled at the corners of her mouth, almost unable to believe it.

She had been urging Elizabeth to join her in fashion design, but it turned out Elizabeth was the famous jewelry designer Kennedy.

Elizabeth took out her phone and opened her design platform user ID.

Yes, she was Kennedy. The user profile was verified as Kennedy.

"Oh my God. Dear, you've been doing big things secretly!" Rose was surprised.

"I want to say it's the Percy family genes, but..." Rose laughed awkwardly, "...why do I feel so guilty saying that?"

Elizabeth chuckled.

Rose used to say, "That's my girl—brilliant just like her mother!" but now she said this.

"Mom, I became who I am because of you. Be confident! I turned out great because you and Dad raised me," Elizabeth said earnestly.
