Chapter 171 She's Not the Miller Family's Daughter!
Standing on the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Harper sensed a slight threat. Yet, considering Brian's wish, she hesitated to voice her concerns.
But right now…
Harper glanced at Sarah's room next door, needing to find a way to bring her and Ethan back to Antonio's villa. They couldn't stay there forever.
Antonio aimed to win Sarah back, and they needed to be under the same roof for any progress to be made.
…
Antonio comforted Ryan and asked James to take Ryan back to the villa first, instructing the service staff to take good care of him.
At the moment, he also wanted to take Harper, Ethan, and Sarah back together.
The news outlets were widely reporting the kidnapping.
Lisa's trial was announced to take place in half a month, and she would likely spend the rest of her life in prison.
It didn't matter, though. Lisa would have been taken care of long ago if she hadn't given birth to Ryan.
Thinking about how Sarah had developed so many misunderstandings about him during this time, Antonio felt it necessary to personally explain everything to her.
...
In the evening, Sarah received a call from her father.
She knew John would call, especially since Lisa was imprisoned. Her stepmother had lost two daughters in a row, and now she must be on the verge of collapsing!
"Sarah, what is going on? Lisa is your sister! How could you treat her like this?!" John's furious roar came through the phone, but Sarah simply found it laughable.
"What is going on? The news reported everything thoroughly, and that's the truth. Lisa kidnapped my children and wanted to kill me. What kind of sister is she to me?"
"You!"
"I know what you want to call me. The ungrateful daughter, right? Let me tell you, I never wanted to be your daughter in the first place! You have never been worthy of being our father from childhood to now! I even suspect... that we are not your children at all.
"Otherwise, why would you show favoritism towards the Randall sisters, who have no blood relation to you, rather than treating me and my brother even a little bit well?!"
Those questions contained all the resentment Sarah had harbored over the years, from her mother's death until now.
Never did she expect to hear John's admission over the phone, "You're right. You are not my children, to begin with!"
In an instant, Sarah felt like she had been struck by lightning, frozen in place!
W-What does that mean?
She was not John's daughter?!
Sarah had entertained the possibility before, but upon deeper reflection, she realized the implications: Wasn't this tarnishing her mother's reputation, suggesting that her mother had children with someone else?
Sarah did not want to entertain such thoughts, as they would defile her mother's memory.
"Sarah, starting today, you and your brother are no longer considered part of the Miller family… It doesn't matter anymore!"
"John Miller, speak clearly! If you're not my father, then who is?"
John snorted. "Your mother was already pregnant with you when she married me. How would I know who your father is? If it wasn't for her money, do you think I would willingly raise someone else's children? Sarah, you should've died in your mother's womb!"
After uttering these words, John hung!
Sarah held onto her phone tightly as she listened to those words...
So… my mother never cheated on her husband. She was pregnant with me before she married John, who only married her for her money.
But...
If that's the case, then what about Brady? He is a few years older than me, and he was there when our mother married John, right?
Sarah had many questions in her mind, but the most pressing question was: Who is my biological father?!
At that moment, the sound of the door opening interrupted her thoughts, yet she remained motionless, lost in contemplation. It wasn't until Harper's tender voice called out, "Mommy..."
Sarah's eyes quivered as she shifted her gaze to see Harper approaching, hand in hand with Antonio.
Instantly, her expression darkened, and she unconsciously furrowed her brow, not ready to face Antonio at this time...
