Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood were completely stunned. Mrs. Lockwood's mind was buzzing. "…What does Ms. Sterling mean?"
Anastasia Sterling offered a small smile. "Isn't it obvious? The one who saved your life back then was my Juliet, not some Letitia!"
"And now? After raising a fraud for so many years, you've actually come here to threaten the real savior on her behalf. I wonder what's going through your mind, Mrs. Lockwood?"
Mrs. Lockwood swayed, looking as if she was about to collapse.
Mr. Lockwood quickly steadied his wife.
Yolanda Lockwood also reached out to help, but Mr. Lockwood brushed her hand away without hesitation.
"Dad…?"
"Don't call me Dad!" Mr. Lockwood was furious. "To think I prided myself on being clever, only to be fooled by a liar for so many years!"
As his words landed, Yolanda staggered.
Her eyes filled with tears, looking panicked and helpless. "Dad, Mom, are you going to disown me?!"
Mr. Lockwood was already displeased with Yolanda's recent behavior, and now, knowing the truth, he was livid. "We wanted to adopt our savior, not a fraud full of lies!"
Yolanda turned her teary gaze to Mrs. Lockwood. "Mom…"
Mrs. Lockwood braced herself, staring intently at her. "Yolanda, is what Ms. Sterling said true?"
"I…"
Yolanda was still desperately trying to come up with an excuse.
But Anastasia spoke again. "I have all the evidence right here. If you need it, Mrs. Lockwood, I can send you a copy."
Yolanda fell silent instantly, her face ashen with defeat.
