“Enough.” Lisa patiently announced the end of their act. “What fart of a Second Uncle are you, ‘Shuhai Bruschweiler’? I should be addressing you as Yang Xueyao, shouldn’t I?”

She brought out a stack of documents with a passport photo attached to the very first page, and slammed it on the coffee table.

The passport photo was of Shuhai’s face, however the photo was a black and white shot taken more than ten years ago.

“Let me tell you a story.” Lisa began indifferently. “Many years ago, a couple named Lee Huaitian and Zhao Yun gave birth to a beautiful pair of twin girls. They named them Lee Lilan and Lee Liyin. Since young, Lilan was sensible and thoughtful. Her younger sister, Lee Liyin, however, was always disobedient. During her school days, she smoked, drank, fought and even caused trouble outside. Eventually, when she turned fifteen, she eloped with a gangster named Yang Xueyao. Due to this matter, Lee Huaitian and his wife were angered to the point where they disowned their daughter, Liyin. Five years later, Lee Lilan turned twenty-five and she married Marco Bruschweiler. They both adopted a boy named Lee Sehun. As for Lee Liyin, she did not have a good life after eloping. She wrote letters on multiple occasions to her elder sister seeking help. Her sister naturally lent her money behind their parents’ backs. In the fifth year of her marriage, Lee Lilan was pregnant. Unfortunately, it was a stillbirth.”

Lisa then brought an old hospital document out and placed it on the table. “These are the records from Lee Lilan’s hospital visit that year.”

She paused for a moment before continuing. “Lee Lilan was heartbroken over this. At the same time, her younger sister and Yang Xueyao had a daughter. Unfortunately, the two of them barely had enough money for themselves. How could they possibly raise a child? Thus, Lee Liyin sent her daughter to her elder sister for adoption.”

She had heard her elder brother, Lee Sehun, mention this in the past. Her mother had indeed been pregnant that year. This was also why both of them had never suspected Lee Eunha’s background.

Lisa’s gaze shifted onto Eunha, who appeared as pale as a sheet of paper. “Lee Lilan named her young sister’s daughter Lee Eunha. Ever since then, Second Sister, you became my parents’ child and led a blissful life.”

Eunha fell down on the ground. “How did you find out about this? How…”

Lisa paid no attention to her and continued. “My parents have never lied to you about your birth. Thus, you always knew that you were not my parents’ biological daughter. In fact, you even met Lee Liyin and Yang Xueyao secretly on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, my elder brother and I did not know of this. Our parents were worried that we wouldn’t treat you well if we knew about this. Thus, they kept this truth from us. In fact, among all of us, you received the best treatment in the Fang home.”

“Enough!” Eunha raised her voice. “What do you mean by the best treatment? Since Lee Lilan claimed she would treat me as her birth daughter, why did she still give birth to you!”

‘Lee Lilan’ tried to stop her immediately. “Eunha, what are you talking about?”

But Eunha could no longer control herself. “Mom, Lalisa clearly already knows everything. What’s the point in denying this any longer?”

When ‘Lee Lilan’ heard this, her legs weakened and she nearly fell down.

“That’s right, at this point, what’s the use in trying to lie?” Lisa had a faint smile on her lips. “Why weren’t my parents allowed to give birth to me? Lee Sehun is an adopted child. Lee Eunha, you also weren’t their own child. My parents loved each other dearly and they only gave birth to me as a representation of their love. Were they out of line in doing so?”

Eunha had no way of refuting this.
