With tears streaming down her face, Heidi cried out, "I beg you to believe me. You're my real parents! How could you not trust me? A DNA test! Take me to do a DNA test right now, then you'll know that I'm your real daughter and she's just a fake. She's the housekeeper's daughter, the one who stands to gain from Petra's scheme!"
She inched closer as she spoke, and Tabitha stepped back in fear.
Hansel immediately said sternly, "That's enough!"
Heidi abruptly lifted her gaze, and Hansel instantly dropped his fierce tone. That was because if what she said was true, then the person standing before him could be his flesh and blood. However, how can it be that our beloved Tabitha isn't our biological daughter? Ho innate bond between parents and their children?

"Hubby, this isn't true, right? Tabitha is our daughter!" The gentle Astrid was on the verge of tears.
""Mom!" Heidi promptly yelled in anger.
"Don't call me that!" Astrid seemed startled, but upon seeing the pitiful look on Heidi's face at suffering such injustice, she dared not speak harshly anymore. "There's no proof yet..."
Heidi glared at Tabitha with resentment, feeling that it was the latter's fault that her parents were not acknowledging her as their daughter.
As for Tabitha, she had not uttered a single word the whole time.
Family members around them started discussing heatedly, unable to accept the fact that Tabitha was not their relative. However, judging by the fact that Heidi solemnly said she was willing to do a DNA test, it seems she did hear what Petra said.
At that moment, Alexander stepped forward. "It's too late now, so there's no point in continuing to talk about it. Uncle Hansel, please let Heidi stay the night. We'll arrange for a DNA test tomorrow and discuss further once we have the results." Hansel turned to look at Alexander, and the latter continued, "Uncle Hansel, you know you need to do it.".
The older man was distressed, yet he could not deny it. He was torn between emotion and reason, and it was truly heart-wrenching.
Meanwhile, Astrid held Tabitha tightly as though she was afraid her precious daughter would be taken away. "Tabitha, sleep with me tonight."
Tabitha was momentarily taken aback. She looked up at her parents, then turned her gaze toward Heidi. The hatred in Heidi's eyes was almost palpable.
"I think... I want to be alone. Mom, Dad, I'd like a little time to myself," Tabitha replied, forcing a smile.
"I'll see you back, then," Astrid responded immediately. I feel that Tabitha is my flesh and blood. I can't accept it. I really can't. All I want to do at this moment is to escape from everything.
She paid no attention to Heidi. Although Hansel felt a pang of sympathy, he found himself unable to

When he looked at Heidi again, she was all alone in a corner, clenching her jaw as she sobbed. Many could not help but feel troubled, thinking that if she was truly the Quirk family's daughter, the situation would be unfortunate indeed. When they had returned, Isabella was in low spirits. Everyone else was also quiet, no one daring to speak.
However, they could not hold it in any longer as they watched Tabitha walking at the front.
"Tabitha, don't overthink things. Nothing is certain yet, Sarah piped up reassuringly.
Tabitha managed a small smile and said, "I've read novels like this before. The plots usually go this way. I always thought Petra's attitude toward me was strange. Is that... Is that why?"
As she spoke, she broke down in tears.
Everyone hurried forward to comfort her, and Janice even hugged her.
"I can't bear it. I can't bear to part with my mom and dad. I can't bear to part with all of you. I'm not the Quirk family's daughter, am I?"
Carlos hurriedly tried to soothe her. "It's not necessarily so."
Both Eula and Jake also moved closer. Only David and his family hung back due to their inner turmoil.
Others might have speculated whether Heidi was the issue or if it was just Petra's delusion. However, having already learned the truth through Isabella's inner thoughts, David and his family knew that at least what Heidi said was true. Therefore, they were even less inclined to harbor illusions than the rest.
If it's true, then Tabitha is to be pitied. However, wouldn't that make Heidi even more pitiable? Alas! When such things happen to others, it's just gossip. But when it happens to oneself, it's nothing short of torment.
Upon seeing Tabitha weeping so sadly, Isabella tugged gently at Alexander's sleeve.
