Chapter 281
She only felt better after knowing the Willis family still had an ir.
That was why Karen was in a hurry to find Marsh. She still wanted to use Elvira to save the company, But no matter what she did, Elvira refused to cooperate and wouldn't have anything to do with the Willis family anymore. Karen had no choice but to reveal that Elvira wasn't a Willis family child.
She now needed Elvira's help, to let Elvira know that she wasn't Willis family child, but the Willis family raised her. Therefore, Elvira should repay them in gratitude.
In a private room next to the courthouse, only four people were present. Grace was responsible for ensuring Elvira's safety. After all, they didn't know what Vincent and Karen were up
1. to.
"Mom, what's going on? How can Elvira not be my daughter? You can't be lying just to see her!" Vincent was agitated as he sat down, unable to sit still. It felt as though there were thorns under him, making him uncomfortable. Karen said, "I've done a paternity test. Judy nearly took my life. I needed to verify the Willis bloodline, and it turns out Elvira has no connection to you at all! If you don't believe me, you can get the test done again." She didn't want to believe this reality either, but it was a their bloodline.
"Then who am I?" Elvira frowned and asked.
massive blow to the Willis family to learn that Elvira wasn't part of
"You'd better ask your promiscuous mother. Who knows who she slept with to give birth to you? You and Marsh are actual siblings," Karen said.
"Rowena! She's ridiculous!" Vincent was furious, his face twisted with anger. He never expected that Amber had thoroughly cuckolded him by letting him raise someone else's child. Now, Rowena had done the same thing. What had he become? The king of cuckolds?
Grace couldn't hold back a laugh when she saw this middle-aged man's face turn green, especially when she thought of his two-time humiliation. She quickly suppressed it, pretending nothing happened.
Vincent was even more angry. He wanted to explode, but he knew he couldn't, given Grace's status. After all, his status was now far below hers.
Elvira also seemed to be thinking deeply. She didn't want to see Rowena now, but it seemed she had no choice but to meet her. She needed to find out who she truly was.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"Elvira, you
should know why I've come to you. The Willis family raised you, but it's a fact that you're not one of us. So I hope you can repay the Willis family," Karen said, dropping any pretense of courtesy and getting straight to the point. Elvira snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her, nodding in agreement. "Fine."
If she truly wasn't a Willis family child, then the Willis family had no obligation to raise her. That meant her previous declaration of severing ties didn't hold, and she would need to offer some form of compensation to clear things up. Karen breathed
sigh of relief when she saw Elvira's quick response.
Elvira said, "You can state what you want. Consider it compensation for the years the Willis family raised me. But let me make it clear. This will be the only time."
She continued, "After this, I will have no further ties to the Willis family." She just wanted to resolve this entangled relationship once and for all.
As for who her biological father was, she would have to ask Rowena.
But now that she had grown up and become independent, who her biological father was didn't matter much to her
anymore.

"I want two million dollars. After that, you can sever ties with the Willis family!" Karen had already set the price, so she didn't hesitate. Elvira thought for a moment and found the amount reasonable. Alright, I'll have someone transfer it to your
account."
"Don't transfer it to my card, it'll just be frozen. I'll give you an account number, just transfer the money there," Karen said, handing Elvira a card number. Elvira took a picture of it and sent it to the finance department to arrange the transfer.
The finance team was quick, and the money was transferred in less than three minutes. Elvira and Grace stood leaving Vincent and Karen behind.
up and left,
Vincent was still in a frenzy, while Karen gave him a speechless look. "You should be satisfied. Although Elvira isn't your biological daughter, she's Marsh's real sister."
Karen added, "She's successful in her career and married into the top circle. She can support Marsh, which means she'll be helping the Willis family."
Karen had a well-thought-out plan. The Willis family needed money, so she asked Elvira for it. Two million dollars wasn't a small sum, but it wasn't much either given Elvira's current worth
For someone like her, who had gone bankrupt and was looking to make a comeback, it would be a substantial amount to
start over.
Moreover, Karen had seen how much Elvira cared for Marsh. If Marsh returned and wanted to build a career, Elvira would help him. So no matter what, as long as Marsh was a Willis, Elvira couldn't completely sever ties with them.

On the way back, Elvira remained silent, trying to wrap her mind around the fact that she wasn't a Willis family child. Grace, thinking she was upset, tried to comfort her. "It's okay. You still have us. We'll always be your family." Elvira smiled and explained, "What are you thinking? Now that I know I'm not a Willis family child, I'm happy. If Rowena wasn't my biological mother, I'd be even happier. I'd set off firecrackers to celebrate!"
"I'm glad you think that way. Otherwise, if you weren't happy when you get home, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Zach," Grace said playfully, sticking out her tongue.

Elvira told Zach everything. Sitting on his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck, she asked, "What do you think is going on? I don't want to contact Rowena anymore. It would be perfect if she wasn't my real mother!" "Right now, it seems that Rowena is your real mother since Marsh is your real brother," Zach said, helplessly dispelling her fantasy.
Elvira's face fell. "Yeah, you're right."
"If you want to know the answer, you'll have to ask Rowena. But no matter who you are, you'll always be my wife and the mother of my babies," Zach said, gently placing his hand on her still-flat stomach.
"Sometimes I think that my background isn't that important. I'm just a bit curious to know who my biological father is," Elvira said, resting her head on his chest. She felt the strength of his heartbeat, which made her feel much more at ease.
"I understand. If you really don't want to meet your biological mother, I can have someone meet her for you," Zach said, not
wanting Elvira to do anything she wasn't comfortable with.
