Chapter 3 Who Wants a Fake Daughter?

"Really?" Elaine asked, eyeing the compliant Alora with a smile that held no warmth. "Grandma, are you certain that the Wilsons would be interested in something fake?" She recalled how, in her previous life, the contemptible Terry hadn't even spared Alora a second glance. Maya remained silent. Alora promptly bit her lip and cast her gaze downward, her expression one of clear hurt. Her appearance of grievance was so pitiable. It stirred sympathy in anyone who saw her. Observing the scene, Maya felt a pang of sadness. She gently patted Alora's hand to offer comfort and shot a sharp look at Elaine. "What do you mean 'fake'? Alora is my granddaughter! Anyone who dares question her as not being the true daughter of the Currans will have to face me!" Elaine stayed quiet. A subtle smile appeared at the edge of her lips. It had been the same in her previous life. Maya held Alora close, treating her like a precious gem. In contrast, she viewed her biological granddaughter as unimportant. But it didn't bother Elaine. As long as she had her parents, that was enough for her. She didn't care about anyone else. Maya went on, "Since you are aware that you're not suitable for Terry, then Alora remains his fiancée." Elaine didn't say anything. She didn't even bat an eye. The fact of who Terry, that b*stard, chose to marry was of no concern to her. She wouldn't be interested even if he wed a dog. Rebecca frowned and said, "Mom, Terry is engaged to Elaine. You can't just disrupt the engagement." Maya kept insisting that Elaine wasn't fit for Terry, which only added to Rebecca's irritation. If it weren't for the fact that she was her elder, Rebecca would have lost her temper a long time ago. How could she say my daughter wasn't good enough? My daughter is even deserving of the president! Maya replied with confidence, "It's her own choice that she doesn't want it." Leon said coldly, "Mom, let's discuss this another time. And also ... " His tone grew icy and stern. "Mom, it's one thing if you favor Alora, but if you keep saying that Elaine isn't worthy of Terry, I will be very upset." Maya responded, "Yes, yes, I can't even comment on your precious daughter. Once you have a daughter, you forget your mother. Alora, let's go!" She was taken aback by her son, who had always been obedient, treating her this way. In her anger, she pulled Alora away. Before they left, Alora glanced back at Elaine. Her fingers, which had been hanging loosely at her sides, slowly tightened into fists. She didn't believe that Elaine genuinely wanted to end the engagement. This woman is incredibly cunning. She uses withdrawal as a strategy to advance, making her parents pity her so she can easily take Terry away. What right does she have? She came back and took everything from me. Dad, Mom, and even Terry! I could let go of Dad and Mom, but Terry? No way! I had a crush on my prince charming Terry when I was just a child! No one is allowed to take him away! ... Elaine observed Alora's expression. A faint and mocking smile curved her lips. It's so weird. Even a trash guy has such a faithful simp? "Elaine, tell me honestly, what do you really think?" "Elaine, don't let Grandma's words bother you. Terry is a good person. I can see that you really like him. You two are a perfect match." In the living room, only the three of them were present—the couple who intended to have a serious conversation with Elaine. "Dad, Mom." Elaine reached out and embraced her parents, feeling immense joy. She's back. In this lifetime, she could finally be with them properly. Her eyes welled up with happiness. But her parents, in contrast, felt a pang of heartbreak. "Elaine, don't cry. I know you've been wronged. Don't worry, I'll make sure you marry into the Wilsons without any problems," Leon said. A man who has dominated the business world for decades, seeing his precious daughter with red-rimmed eyes, was immediately thrown into a panic, not knowing what to do.
