Chapter 7

Gloria’s father left two bodyguards to watch over Gloria. After the door of the ward was closed, Gloria contacted another hospital again.

At that time, she was currently working under the Norton Group and she did not want to have anything to do with Manuel and those biased parents anymore.

After contacting the hospital, Gloria changed out of her hospital gown and quietly left while the bodyguard at the door went to eat.

However, at the corner of the hospital corridor, an argument between her father and Slyvia was heard.

Gloria paused.

“Sylvia, you are too impatient. It is easy to find someone to set the fire. Fortunately, I stopped Manuel and did not let him pursue the matter. 

“Otherwise, I can’t protect you anymore once he knows the person behind the scenes is you. Don't be so reckless next time,” Gloria’s father advised in an angry tone.

“Humph, it's because you are too incompetent! You promised my mother that you would give me everything in the Huerta Family, but what happened? Are you reluctant to part with your daughter? You should know that not only Gloria is your biological daughter, but me too!” Sylvia sneered.

“How can I be reluctant? If I was really reluctant, why would I have personally designed that car accident three years ago? Sylvia, you have to know that I will always love you and your mother.”

A satisfied chuckle finally rang out from the corner, “And Manuel, I want his people and I also want the Norton Family behind him.”

The conversation between the two was like thunder exploding in Gloria's ears.

For a moment, she felt the blood in her body stagnate.

The truth was too shocking.

Gloria could not help but take a step back, her nails digging into her palms.

She seemed like a frozen sculpture with only her pupils trembling and expanding and contracting.

Her biological father actually wanted to kill her for Silvya, her father’s illegitimate daughter.

Gloria suddenly found that she seemed to have never known her sanctimonious father.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the hall. Gloria could not help but shiver and suddenly realized she should leave the hospital quickly.

The next second, she rushed towards home.

Gloria’s mother and Manuel at home were both stunned when they saw her.

Then Gloria’s mother's expression quickly turned cold as she asked, “Why did you come back?”

Manuel also frowned.

Gloria tightly grasped her mother's hand and said in a trembling voice, “Mom, Manuel, I just heard the conversation between Dad and Slyvia. It turns out that Dad planned our car accident three years ago and Slyvia is his illegitimate daughter!”

The expressions of Gloria’s mother and Manuel both changed.

“Are you telling the truth?”

Gloria nodded. Even though she was disheartened, when she knew the truth, she subconsciously wanted to remind them not to be fooled.

But behind him came Slyvia's collapsed voice, “Sister?”

Gloria's heart tightened and she turned around to meet the gaze of her father and Slyvia.

Slyvia shook her head in disbelief, as if she was finally completely disappointed in her. She looked at Gloria with tears of pain in her eyes.

“I didn't expect you could make up such a lie. Isn't your father's love for you enough? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, let alone your father!

“And me, I know that I was accepted into the Huerta Family as your substitute because I look like you. If it weren't for this face, I would never have the chance to have a father, mother and brother who loves me so much.

“But you can't slander me just because I look like you, sister!”

Hearing her words, Gloria’s mother, who was originally in doubt, immediately threw away her doubts and quickly told Slyvia, “No, I never doubt you and my husband. So, please don’t worry, okay?”

Manuel also looked at Gloria and said, “You can even come up with such a childish way of alienating us, Gloria.”

It was like a bucket of ice water was poured over her head.

Gloria moved her lips. After calming down, she felt that it was a mistake for her to run back.
