Chapter 228 The True Heir Had Always Been Here
Xena's words left Paige completely floored. She pondered, 'This blood type thing is just too much of a coincidence! Back then, Xena was just a kid. Who put her in the Sackler family to take the place of the real Ms. Sackler? And who is my real half-sister, and where is she now?'
Margaret, on the other hand, wasn't interested in anything else; she just wanted to find her biological granddaughter. If she couldn't find her real granddaughter, she'd regret it for the rest of her life.
Paige, looking serious, said, "The person who put you in the Sackler family swapped the identification items, so it looked like you were the Sackler family heir. Honestly, I don't care where my real sister is. I just want to know, who swapped you?"
Margaret also shook Xena. "Say something! Who swapped my granddaughter? Whose kid are you, and why did you pretend to be my family's child? What did you do to my real granddaughter?"
Xena, who had been cared for by Margaret for twenty years, turned out to be someone else's kid. With everything out in the open, she even tried to steal the Sackler Group's assets. How could Margaret not be furious?
Xena pushed Margaret away decisively. "Fine, I'll tell you right now. Grandma, your beloved granddaughter has been dead for a long time. After she was kidnapped, she got really sick with a high fever that wouldn't go down and soon passed away. A dead child is easy to get rid of. But after the child died, the traffickers found out she was actually an heir, with a noble status and a prominent family background.''
''The trafficker couple saw this as a golden opportunity. They thought if they could switch their daughter with a child from such a wealthy family, it would be perfect. Being traffickers, they couldn't let their own daughter follow the same path. So, they waited for the right moment. Later, they found out that the Sackler family had another girl who was a year older than the deceased child.''
''Taking advantage of the heir from your family undergoing a medical check-up, they secretly got her hair and information. Then, they sent a girl from their family who looked quite similar to yours in her place. You truly believed she was your long-lost child. However, you stayed cautious, as the child had been missing for half a year, and her appearance had changed a bit.''
''You were afraid of mistaking someone else for her, so you did an identification test. The results came out quickly, confirming she was the Sackler family's child. You welcomed her home with great joy, showering her with more love than the family's heir. Soon, you began to suspect that the two girls, who didn't look alike, might have some issues. You even went so far as to conduct a paternity test on your family's heir.''
''I still remember Luna trying her best to stop it. But in the end, she couldn't resist your firm decision. Since you didn't trust it, I swapped my identification with your family heir's. Finally, the results were as you wished! The real heir was pegged as an illegitimate child. I can't forget the look of utter despair on Luna's face back then.''
''And I can't forget how furious you were when you found out. Not only did you lock Luna up without food, but you also sent your real granddaughter, the true heir of the Sackler family, to the countryside."
As Xena spoke, her laughter grew more maniacal, her face twisting. Paige listened and pieced it together. According to Xena, she wasn't an illegitimate child but the real heir of the Sackler family.
Paige had gotten used to being called an illegitimate child by Margaret for years, and now, she couldn't wrap her head around this new reality.
Standing across from Paige, Margaret was even more stunned. The illegitimate child she had called Paige for so many years was actually her only remaining descendant and relative in this world. At that moment, Margaret looked at Paige. When their eyes met, Paige's cold stare almost made Margaret collapse.
Xena seemed to have more to say, "Grandma, you might remember how your only son died. He probably couldn't handle the identification results, showing his beloved wife cheated and had a daughter with another man. When you locked Luna up without food, he drove back crazily from his business trip in the middle of the night.''
''On a stormy night, he drove off a mountain and died! I was actually scared when I heard the news. But later, when I was the only one left in the family, being pampered by everyone with all the love, all the good things, I realized that everything that happened wasn't a bad thing.''
'This was something I never dared to dream of before. A trafficker's daughter living the life of an heir to a wealthy family with a long history in Northwind. You can't imagine, can you? I was actually a trafficker's daughter."
Xena laughed and then cried, repeatedly saying, "A trafficker, I'm a trafficker's daughter. How about that, are you happy now?" As she spoke, Xena started dancing around, waving her arms. She kept repeating the word.
Paige finally shook off her reverie and snapped back to reality, glancing at Locas. Locas, with a few others, restrained Xena and noticed that she seemed to have suddenly gone insane.
Paige gave Xena a cold look. To her, it didn't matter if Xena went crazy. Just as Paige was about to walk away, Margaret suddenly mustered her strength and walked over. "Paige, Paige."
As Margaret reached out to grab her hand, Paige swiftly sidestepped and placed her hand behind her back. Margaret's hand grasped only air.
Paige's cold attitude made Margaret feel like she had been plunged into ice. Margaret looked deflated as she gazed at Paige, her lips trembling as she said, "Paige, my granddaughter, I'm sorry for over twenty years." As she spoke, Margaret once again approached Paige, but Paige took two steps back.
