At the time, Tessa was only sixteen years old and looked almost no different from Margaery, so Raul never associated her with that woman’s daughter.
He still believed that Tessa was his obedient daughter.
He even nervously stepped forward, wanting to personally pull Tessa back from the kidnappers.
However, Tessa turned her head to look at him and laughed sarcastically.
“Raul, do you really like it when I act as I used to, sweetly calling you ‘father, with tears streaming down my face in front of you?”
Her former frailty was gone. Her entire demeanor now appeared crazed, and the mockery on her face was especially striking.
“Let me tell you the truth. All of that was an act!”
“I am not your daughter at all. I am the daughter of the woman you killed more than twenty years ago!”
“I am here for revenge!”
She pointed at Keaton, who was writhing on the ground, and unleashed all the words she had been holding in, directing them at Raul. “Today, you have killed your own biological daughter in the same way. Are you happy?”
“Hahaha!” Tessa laughed sharply and madly.
Her words struck Raul like a bolt of lightning.
Raul was stunned. “W–what did you say?”
He glanced at Tessa, then at Keaton on the ground, unable to believe what Tessa was saying. “But the blood test proved you are my daughter…”
His body began to tremble, on the verge of collapse.
Although he said this, Tessa’s reaction forced him to doubt whether what she said was true.
If what Tessa said was true, then Margaery was his biological daughter.
‘What have I done!‘
‘For the sake of an impostor, did I kill my own daughter?‘
Raul felt a buzzing in his head, as if all the blood in his body rushed to his crown.
“Hahaha!”
Tessa burst out laughing, her laughter wild and uncontrollable.
That laughter made Raul and his sons feel cold all over.
She was different now.
She was completely different from Tessa at the Chancellor’s estate before.

The girl in front of them seemed like a different person, like a vicious madwoman.
All her reactions pointed to one thing. They had all fallen into Tessa’s trap and wrongly accused Margaery.
It was even more than just a wrongful accusation.
They had killed her.
Raul and his sons felt as if struck by lightning, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Yet on the ground, the sight of “Margaery” was so tragic.
But Tessa just kept laughing, her laughter unrestrained and utterly deranged.

After laughing enough, she looked at Raul and mocked, “Surprised? I switched the water for the blood test, and Halle and Mark are both my people.”
She snorted, her eyes full of scorn, “Halle lost three daughters. As long as I call her ‘mother, she will fawn over me, wishing she could give me her life.”
“Mark was abandoned by the Chancellor’s estate and Lady Alicia years ago, and he has been resentful ever since. You never comforted him, promised to let his son join the Royal Medical Hall, but in the end broke your word and sent Avery in instead!”
“He has long since become one of Callum’s people.”
“Only you still think you have everything under control, hahaha
Tessa’s words made Raul and his sons‘ faces livid.
“How could I have a father like you?”
After she finished speaking, she pointed at Keaton, “She is your biological daughter, the child Wrenna risked her life to give birth to!”
“The other twin died long ago. The midwife was simply bribed by me to make up nonsens
believe it. Hahaha!”
“You are truly laughable!”
The Wallen family trembled all over.

Andrew fell to his knees with a thud, staring blankly at Keaton’s shattered body, completely at a loss.
Avery was also somewhat intimidated, instinctively hiding behind Raul.
Joshua stood there like a wooden post, watching Keaton, uncertain whether to step forward, and even if he did, he didn’t know what he could do.
Raul was on the verge of collapse, staring at Tessa, “You… you… what did you say?”
He truly never expected to be played in the palm of Tessa’s hand after living so many years.
And he had killed Margaery.
He could not face such an outcome.
The secret demons within his heart began to clamor again, as if wakening those sordid things and disgraceful thoughts from his youth.

Tessa stared at Raul, her smile fading, her voice suddenly turning cold and sharp, “Raul, in truth, you hate Wrenna, don’t you?”
Margaery, watching from above, was startled.
All these years, Raul had never remarried, always claiming he could not forget his late wife. ‘Is there some hidden truth behind this?‘
But then Tessa sneered, “You despise all women who live well, because at that time, you weren’t with her out of love.”
“Instead, as a penniless man, you coveted the Seacrest Guild in Wrenna’s family in Clearbrook, wanting to seize it for yourself!”
“For this, you did not hesitate to abandon Bertha, who once saved your life, exiling her along with the Schneider family members!”
Tessa’s gaze turned sharp, like a knife stabbing into Raul’s eyes, “Unfortunately, despite all your scheming, you never obtained the Seacrest Guild.”
“In the end, you could only withhold twenty percent of the treasury fraud, to bribe court officials and get promoted to Sinderin City.”
“On the surface, you dote on Margaery, claiming she is a reminder left to you by your late wife.”
“In reality, deep down, you simply do not like her.”
“You dislike her living the life of a wealthy young lady, just like your late wife did, because it always reminds you that, when you were young, you were nothing, unable to hold your head high before any heiress.”
“It reminds you of how you had to grovel before Wrenna for money!”
“So, even if the midwife was spouting nonsense, even if there were countless loopholes, you still preferred for me to become your daughter, so you could put on a show for Sinderin City, acting as a loving husband cherishing the daughter left behind by your late wife.”
“And you did not want that person to be Margaery.”
“Margaery looks so much like Wrenna, yet you claim to doubt the resemblance, because the woman hanging in your study is not the real Wrenna at all. She has been deliberately altered and disfigured by you!”
“The woman on the study wall is a fusion of Wrenna and Bertha More than twenty years have passed, and after staring at that portrait for so long, have you even lost track of who she truly is?”
“In the end, you actually believed Margaery did not resemble the woman in the painting, so she could not be your daughter.”
“In the end you naturally abandoned Margaery, and today, you killed her. Hahaha!”
On the cliff, amidst the wind and snow.
Tessa’s laughter was like a vengeful spirit, piercing sharply through the air and everyone’s hearts.
Margaery felt a chill penetrate her entire body.
Many mysteries were revealed at this moment.
She had never seen her mother. Her mother died sixteen years ago on the afternoon she was born.

Judging by the woman in Raul’s study alone, she truly did not resemble her much.
Raul told her, that was a portrait of her mother.
When their mother died, even the eldest, Joshua, was not yet ten years old. Under their father’s deliberate manipulation, it was possible for the Wallen family’s sons to gradually distort the image of their mother.
Especially on the day Tessa arrived…
‘No! That’s not right!”
