"Are you really telling the truth?" Harris suddenly raised his voice, making Nadine startled.

Aiden suddenly grabbed Nadine's neck angrily, "Tell me. Who changed the test results?"

​​

"A..." Nadine's face flushed and she stared at Aiden's face with horror. "Uncle, I... I am your niece!"

However, Aiden seemed unable to hear her. He roared loudly. "Who changed it?! Who told you to do all this?"

Nadine turned to ask Harris for help, but the man could only lower his head. "I can't help you. Miss, you have made a grave mistake this time,"

"Say it!" Aiden's grip strength grew as if he wanted to crush Nadine's neck.

"Keara!" Nadine finally said it.

"Sir!" Harris saw Nadine was about to run out of breath so he immediately warned Aiden.

Aiden let go of his hand. Meanwhile, Nadine could only lean back in her chair weakly, trying to inhale the air from her surroundings with a gasping breath.

Harris immediately gave her a bottle of drinking water, "Miss, drink it."

Nadine just looked at Harris, but she did not take the water bottle that he gave her. If only Harris had let her go, she wouldn't have been caught by her uncle like this.

"You still dare to look at Harris like that. Once we're back, I'll punish you," Aiden snorted coldly. He grabbed the bottle in Harris's hand and threw it at Nadine.

Seeing Nadine's enlarged stomach, Aiden could feel his eyes heating up.

If only…

If only the DNA test result weren't swapped, his child with Anya wouldn't have died.

Harris pulled his hand back and sat in the front passenger seat without daring to look back.

He and Aiden were always in sync, sharing the same thoughts. Just now, they were just trying to trick Nadine. But unexpectedly, it turned out that someone had manipulated Anya's DNA test results and that person was Keara.

"Uncle, my stomach hurts. Maybe because I fell earlier," Nadine said, holding her stomach with a pained face.

"Sir, what should we do?" Harris looked back at Nadine in panic.

Aiden's cynical eyes fell on Nadine's face, and then turned to her niece's enlarged stomach. Without warning, his hand immediately hit it.

"Sir!"

"Uncle!"

Harris and Nadine shouted together and then, however, Aiden's hand that landed on Nadine's stomach sounded like he was hitting something soft.

"Stomachache? Do you need to go to the toilet?" Aiden said sarcastically.

Nadine grinned sheepishly. She stretched out her hand and took out the pillow that was on her stomach.

"Miss, you're not pregnant?" Harris' eyes widened.

"I'm just kidding," Nadine said shyly.

Just like Nico, Nadine also shared the same traits. They were both naughty and liked to do unexpected things. She used the pillow as a cover to disguise herself so that her family couldn't find her.

"Why don't you come home?" Aiden asked.

"When I met Harris in Hong Kong, I planned to investigate something first before going home. But as it turns out, I know that I'm not mother's daughter and they have found the real Nadine," Nadine lowered her head. "Uncle, I had no intention of doing it,"

"Did Keara tell you that you are not Sister Maria's child?" Aiden asked with a grim face.

Only few people knew the secrets of the Atmajaya Family.

Since both Maria and Indah lost their daughters, they would exchange information when they found the missing girl. That was why the Pratama Family knew that Nadine was not Maria's real child.

That way, Aiden could conclude that Keara instigated Nadine and sent her to Harris to change the DNA test results.

"Miss, how did you change the DNA test result?" Harris asked.

"When we met, I asked for your room number. At that time, Sister Keara's guards were sitting beside our table. After that, it's my job to divert your attention so they could enter your room and check the DNA test result. I just want to know if mom had found her real daughter. If the real Nadine had been found, I would not return home," like a guilty child, Nadine sat against the door, not daring to look at Aiden.

Aiden could feel his anger rising. His hands were tightly clenched as he said, "If Sis Maria finds her daughter, does that mean she doesn't want you anymore?"

"Over the years, you have lived with her. She has treated you like her own daughter. When you disappeared, she could no longer hold her brush and couldn't paint anymore. Did you know that she was looking forward to your return? But you are really stupid! Keara played with you and you foolishly let her take advantage of you!"

"What do you mean, uncle?" Nadine looked at Aiden in surprise.

"If those people did enter my room, chances are the test result had been exchanged," Harris said.

"What? Sister Keara would never do it. She just wanted to help me check the DNA test results!" Nadine shook her head continuously, not believing that Keara would manipulate the result.

Aiden didn't want to look at Nadine anymore. He was really angry.

"Do you know who the biological daughter your mother found?" Harris asked when he saw Nadine still trying hard to defend Keara.

"Sister Keara showed me the photo of the DNA test result so that I knew that mother had found her biological daughter. I was so sad and thought that mom wouldn't want me anymore. So I did not ask who mom's real daughter was," Nadine whispered in a low voice.

"She didn't even tell you such an important thing?" Harris looked at Nadine in disbelief.

"She just said that my mother has found her biological daughter and that my family was happy. I'm not my mother's daughter. If I come back, I'll only embarrass them," Nadine said softly. Every now and then, she stole glances at Aiden. "Uncle, did I do something wrong?"

Aiden took a deep breath. "You are not Sister Maria's real daughter, but you are still my brother's daughter. Keara deliberately lied to you so you wouldn't come home. It's all my fault for protecting you too much, so you were easily tricked like this."

"Harris, what really happened? What is my uncle talking about?" Nadine began to panic, especially when she heard that Aiden said that she was not her mother's daughter, but that she was still her father's daughter.

"Miss, even though you are not Mrs. Maria's biological daughter, the blood of the Atmajaya Family is still flowing in you. You are not adopted," Harris said calmly. "You are Mr. Ardan's biological child and your birth mother has died. While Madame Maria lost her child and was drowning in sorrow, Mr. Ardan brought you home, hoping that your presence would heal some of her wounds. To cover up all these problems, the Atmajaya Family announced that the missing child has been found."

Nadine couldn't believe all these stories. She was not her mother's real daughter, but she was still part of the Atmajaya Family. Then, why had she been trying to avoid it all this time?

"Over the years, the Atmajaya family has been secretly looking for Sister Maria's biological daughter. She hated my brother for having an affair behind her back. But she still loved you and raised you like her own daughter," Aiden said angrily. "Even if Sister Maria finds her biological daughter, she will never just throw you away. All this time, she has considered you like her own flesh and blood. How can you break her heart like this?"
