"It's too valuable, | can't accept It," Tina declined. She had rescued Kiki and Mimi because they had been
kidnapped along with other babies, not for a reward.
Seeing Tina's reluctance, lan personally placed the box in her hands. "You can't refuse an old man's gift; it would
shorten my life."
"Please accept it, Tina. Without you, we wouldn't even know how much suffering Kiki and Mimi would have
endured. Words can't express our gratitude," Scarlett added.
"Please take it, or my dad will insist on delivering it to your home," Jack joked as he picked up his twin daughters.
lan hit him lightly on the leg with his cane, "Who said you could hold my granddaughters? Put them down."

Seeing their insistence, Tina finally accepted the gift, then said to Jack, "Mr. Brookes, they say you owe a favor to
those whose gifts you accept, so | can't help you."
Laughter filled the room, and Tina's heart gradually settled down. Unknowingly, she had cto think of this
hospital room as her sanctuary.
It seemed as if here, she needed to do nothing. When Tina left the hospital, it was already late. Jared was waiting
downstairs and approached her as soon as she emerged. A cold breeze swept by, prompting Tina to wrap her
coat tighter around herself. She asked him, "Why didn't you wait in the car?"
"I wanted to see you sooner," Jared replied, taking Tina's hand and noticing she was holding a bag. "What's
that?"
Looking at the bag, Tina smiled and said, "Probably an apology gift."
Secretly collecting her own DNA, she had taken it to her hospital in Clearwater for a paternity test. The results
were disappointing. Nevertheless, she prepared a gift of apology, presenting it under the guise of a thank-you
gesture. Tina wasn't particularly offended; she understood the Brookes family's desire to find their biological
daughter. Perhaps in sways, she did resemble the daughter they remembered. But she truly wasn't the child
of the Brookes family. Her mother was Natalie Whittaker, not Natalie Brookes. Although her mother was adopted,
she never spoke of her birth family. Perhaps they hadn't treated her mother well, leading to her abandonment.
At the hospital, lan stared at the paternity test report, his eyes filled with profound regret. Tina felt so familiar, so
much like his Alina. Yet, the test results showed no biological connection between them. How could this be? Jack
sat down, taking the report from in front of lan, "Dad, stop looking at it." Jack had also hoped greatly for the test.
He had a feeling that Tina was his niece. But the results were clear, and they had to accept the truth. lan's tears
flowed freely as he thought of his daughter, his heart aching with grief. Yet, he was convinced Tina was related to
Alina. His feelings were too strong to be coincidental. "Are the Farrells planning a birthday celebration?" lan
asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJack nodded, "Yes, Dad, do you want to attend?"
"Yes, find a way to get the Farrells to invite us." The Brookes family had significant influence in Clearwater but
had never ventured into Ashbury, and their stay had been discreet.
The Farrell family not inviting them to the celebration was expected. But with a little effort, getting an invitation
wouldn't be difficult. "Grandfather is having a birthday party, and this time, we can't let Jared steal the spotlight
again. We must find a way, or there will be no turning back," Walter said bitterly.
Thinking of the ten billion dollars given to Jared and Tina made him cringe. That was ten billion dollars, enough to
live lavishly for a long time!
Alexander gave his son a scornful look, "If you were competent, Tina wouldn't have had anything on you.
Thankfully, she didn't tell your grandfather, or our whole family would be ruined. You're really good for nothing."
"Dad, you can't blme for this. If only Vivienne hadn't agreed so readily without even bargaining," Walter
pushed all the blonto Vivienne.
Vivienne sat silently to the side, merely observing the tablet in her hands. Walter felt like his punch had hit
cotton, unsatisfying.
"You fool, say something!" Walter snatched the tablet from Vivienne and smashed it onto the table.
