Chapter 3 I gestured for her to stay c
calm.
The relatives around us began to whisper, like a group of sharks that had caught the scent of blood, stirring excitedly.
“Back when we did the IVF… Gregory paused, if it was difficult to continue, “The doctor said Kala’s eggs weren’t good enough… To spare her feelings about being a mother, I switched them with Brianna’s…”
This idiot was actually trying to pin the blame on me for his sneaky behavior!
Gregory’s malicious gaze fell on me, seemingly waiting for me to lose control in anger.
But I remained calm and composed, forcing him to continue his performance.
“I called everyone here today to witness…” he looked at Brianna with apparent deep affection, “Xixi recognizing her birth mother”
The relatives immediately erupted into discussion.
“If Xixi Isn’t Kaia’s daughter, of course she should recognize her birth mother!”
“That’s right, Kaia has occupied the position of Johnson family’s daughter–in–law for so many years, it’s time for her to step down!”
“Kaia has been controlling Johnson Group’s assets all these years. Now that the truth is out, it’s time for her to leave the company!”
Listening to these comments, I couldn’t help but laugh coldly to myself.
These relatives with ulterior motives had long been suppressed and removed from the company’s management by y me. They could only profit from year–end dividends and were very dissatisfied with me.
Now they were eager to watch the drama unfold, hoping to see Gregory and me fall out so they could return to the company and get a piece of the pie.
Xixi, seeing the undisguised greed in the relatives‘ eyes, gripped my hand tighter.
I spoke up: “Xixi is my child. She will only ever be my child:
My voice wasn’t loud, but it was firm and resolute.
Brianna put on a helpless expression and choked out, “Sister, how long are you going to deceive yourself?”
I wasn’t deceiving myself. Xixi really was my child.
Did Gregory and Brianna really think they could fool me?
Back then, Gregory had weak sperm, so we decided to try IVF.
Before the embryo was formed, I accidentally caught Gregory secretly messing with my egg storage cabinet along with a nurse. I overheard him happily calling Brianna, saying he had successfully switched in her eggs.
At the time, I didn’t make a scene. I silently turned around and gave the doctor a hundred thousand dollars to switch back to my spare eggs
that I had harvested earlier.
