Chapter 3 Antonio Smith clicked on the message he received as soon as his meeting concluded and saw the picture of a girl . Her facial features were almost identical to his , except for her mouth . A grim look flashed past his eyes , and he clenched his fists . He cursed inwardly . " Darn it ! I can't believe that woman did something like this to mess with me after taking advantage of me back then ! " He asked : [ Where is Lilian ? ] Louis ' response came quickly . It was a video . In the video , Lilian was lying in a pool of blood . The little girl was howling sorrowfully beside her lifeless body . Someone asked the girl , " Where is your daddy ? " The girl said without hesitation , " I don't have a daddy ! " Hearing the girl's words , Antonio frowned and thought to himself , ' No Daddy ? It's pretty obvious why Lilian gave birth to this child , but she actually told the girl she didn't have a daddy . What was she thinking ? ' His expression was gloomy . Just as he was about to put down his phone , he couldn't help clicking on the video and playing it again . The girl in the video was crying her heart out , repeatedly calling out for her mother . Alas , Lilian couldn't respond to her anymore . His heart ached for no reason , and he tightened his grip on his phone . He thought , ' Darn it ! I can't believe I have an illegitimate child ! How am I going to explain this to Winnie ? ' Louis ' message came in quickly . It read : [ Winnie can't know about this ! Back then , Winnie had a kidney removed because of Lilian and even became blind in one eye . She just had a corneal repair procedure . She will break down if she finds out about your illegitimate daughter ! ] Naturally , Antonio knew he couldn't let Winnie know . He got drunk that night because of certain reasons . Lilian seized the opportunity to climb into his bed by impersonating Winnie . What happened that night left a stain on his life . He didn't expect the stain to still be there . Just as he was pondering , his phone rang again . His three sons unanimously sent him pictures of Laura from various angles . 1/3 Chapter 3 One of them questioned : ( Dad , where'd you get an illegitimate daughter ? ] Another asked : [ I heard that you cheated on Mom once . Was this the child you had with another woman back then ? ) The third son expressed his disappointment : [ Dad , you've let us down . ] . A deep frown marred Antonio's countenance . His three children had inherited his and Winnie's high intelligence , so it was impossible to hide anything from them . " But … Even though the girl looks like me , it's not necessarily my child ," he thought . Just then , Louis set up a group chat with Antonio and the latter's three sons . Louis typed : [ All three of them found out about it . I failed to hide it from them . Let's discuss what to do with this child . How about putting her up for adoption ? ] Xander Smith : [ If she's my father's biological daughter , she's related to us by blood . It is strange to send her out for adoption . She may come back to haunt us one day . So she might as well be left to fend for herself . ] Everett Smith : [ She's still a kid . How can we do that ? Let's send her abroad for adoption so she'll never find out about us .] Jasper Smith : [ Even though she's abroad , she can still find out about us . Best to leave her be and let her fend for herself . ] Louis : [You guys are such " kind souls . " She's your sister , for goodness ' sake . ] [ Ha - ha , what a joke . How decent can she be when she's raised by an evil woman ? I won't acknowledge her as our sister . Uncle Louis , you don't want her either , do you ? ] Louis : [ You're right . I don't . ] Antonio's face was grim . After a while , he stood up and typed : [ Find out where she is . I'm going to do a paternity test with her . ] He couldn't believe the girl was his child . Laura curled up on a chair at the police station with snacks piled next to her . The police stepped in to see this scene . The four - year - old girl had long hair that cascaded down her back , resembling a delicate doll in a toy store . She was breathtakingly beautiful . Such a pretty child did not deserve such a horrible fate . The female police , Angie , stepped forward . " Lala , why didn't you eat anything ? Do you not like the snacks ? " she asked , heartbroken . Laura lifted her head timidly . " You left these snacks here . I can't eat them . They're not mine . " Angie was stunned . With tears brimming in her eyes , she said in a choked voice , " Go ahead and eat . I specially brought the snacks for you . " " Thank you , Madam , but I don't want it . I have dried pasta . " Laura presented the packet of dried pasta she had been holding in her hand . " When Mommy is done eating the pasta , I will get to have some leftover mushroom soup . When will Mommy come back ? " For a moment , Angie was stumped by the question , not knowing how to answer . " She will have the leftover soup after her mother finishes the pasta ? What a devil her mother was ! " Angie thought to herself . 2/3
