The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) -
Chapter 219
Melissa remained silent while Ashley watched with glee. She had seen the video from THEONE Club already and never imagined that the recording she had posted online would have such a wonderful effect. Arabella was not only disfigured, but she had also miscarried.
And now it had been confirmed that Arabella was not Scott's daughter. She couldn't wait to see Arabella kicked out of the Brooks family.
And then there was Tristan. What would he do if he knew he had become disabled for an imposter? Would he want to strangle Arabella on the spot?
She really wanted to tell Tristan about this immediately.
"Scott, what does this mean?" Paul asked, feeling stunned. "Arabella is not your daughter? She's an imposter?"
"Hmm." Scott nodded.
Paul stood there, deeply shocked.
"Aren't you going to donate blood anymore? The patient is still waiting for a transfusion!" The nurse urged him anxiously.
"I'm not donating anymore!" Paul turned around angrily and walked away. He didn't want to spend another moment here. "Damn it! How dare she trick me?!"
He thought back to how he had tried to please Arabella. He even followed her all the way from Rivenwood to Havenwood.
But did he really like her?
Maybe a little, but the main reason was that she was the only daughter of Scott, the head of the Hawthorn clan and the Brooks family.
However, after being ridiculed online for her and losing dignity in his family for her, he had now been told that Arabella was not Scott's daughter. She was an imposter! Everything he had gone through meant nothing!
His fury was indescribable!
After seeing Paul walk away and realizing that no one else in Scott's group looked like they were going to donate blood for Arabella, the nurse stomped her foot and went to seek help from others. "What do we do now?" Ashley asked Scott with a worried look in her eyes. "If Arabella is not your child, then..."
Scott remained silent as he thought of Karen.
Though he had always suspected that Arabella was not his daughter, he was overjoyed when the first paternity test results came out.
He was happy that his long search for Karen and his child had finally come to an end.
But because he was so happy then, he was incredibly angry now.
He looked around at his family. All eyes were on him, waiting for his response.
His cold gaze fell on the operating room door, and he said coldly, "I will sue her and Beatrice for fraud!"
Ashley could hardly suppress her laugh.
Arabella was only out on bail. Now that she had miscarried and was no longer pregnant, the Brooks family could sue her again, and she would be thrown back in jail immediately.
Ashley hated Arabella. She was a low-born girl with an unknown background, who had dared to covet the position of the Brooks family's heiress and had always been domineering over her. Now that Arabella's true identity had been exposed, she would make sure to get back at her for all the grievances she had suffered.
Two hours later, in the maternity ward.
When Arabella woke up, she found that there was no one around her, not even a nurse.
She struggled to sit up, but the nurse who came to change her IV bag quickly stopped her. "You need to stay in bed. You just had a major hemorrhage and had to have your uterus removed. Don't move around."
"What?!" Arabella's eyes widened. She thought she had just had a miscarriage. Why had her uterus been removed?
Now she could never ever bear children.
What would she do in the future?
If the Ellington family found out about this, they would never let her into the family.
"Where's my family? Haven't they come?" Arabella asked in a panic. How could the Brooks family not show up when such a big thing had happened to her?
"You should check the news." The nurse handed Arabella the smartphone from the bedside table with a complicated look in her eyes, then left.
Arabella quickly opened the phone and saw news updates flashing on the screen.
"Scott, the head of the Brooks family and Hawthorn clan, has publicly announced that Arabella, who was previously accused of murdering her grandmother, is not his biological daughter. Arabella and others had forged paternity tests and deceived him. The Brooks family will sue Arabella and her accomplices for fraud."
Arabella was stunned. How could this be?
She had managed to fake three paternity tests, so how could Scott have found out so quickly that she was an imposter?
She pulled out the IV in her hand, struggled to get out of bed, and decided to go back to the Brooks family to explain. She had to come up with a plausible explanation to convince them to believe her.
But as soon as she stepped out of her room, she saw Jaylan leading a group of police officers coming from the elevator at the other end of the corridor.
She panicked and fled in the opposite direction. She had just had surgery, so her wound was still bleeding, and she could barely stand, but she forced herself to go down the stairs of the emergency exit. She recognized that she was in the private hospital owned by the Pendleton family. Remembering that Tristan was also in this hospital, she decided to seek his help.
Tristan had always doted on her and listened to her; he would definitely help her.
With a pale face and wobbly legs, she made her way to Tristan's room.
After more than half a month of treatment, Tristan could not walk yet, but he could sit up. He was sitting in bed, reading a book signed by Calista.
"Tristan!" Arabella, with teary eyes, rushed towards him. "Dad and the others, I don't know whose lies they have believed; they think I'm not his child! You have to help me!"
Tristan put down the book he was reading and looked at Arabella, who was lying next to his hospital bed. His tone was ambiguous. "So, are you saying you haven't been deceiving us?"
"No!" Arabella shook her head vigorously. "Really, I didn't. I'm Dad's daughter! I'm your benefactor's daughter! You have to help me!"
"Humph!" Tristan angrily threw a new paternity test report at Arabella. "When you were unconscious after the surgery, Dad had an urgent paternity test done in this hospital using your blood!" The report lying on the floor stated that Arabella had no blood relation to Scott.
Tristan's face darkened, and he viciously grabbed Arabella's chin and spoke in a bone-chillingly menacing tone. "You imposter! Look at what you've done to me! How are you going to make up for this?" If Arabella really was his benefactor's daughter, he wouldn't hesitate to give his life for her, even if it meant becoming disabled.
But Arabella was a fraud!
He had foolishly ruined his life for her.
"Tristan?" Arabella was shocked and pushed Tristan's hand away as she fell to the floor. "How could you treat me like this? You promised you'd always protect me and stand by me!"
"Those words were meant for my benefactor's daughter!" Tristan glared maliciously at Arabella on the floor. "You're just garbage to me now."
