Isabelle Willow stared at the DNA paternity test report and forgot to breathe. Over the years, both she and Zelda Willow firmly believed in the trap he had set. She always thought that Zane Crawford was his and Zelda Willow’s son. "Madam, back then your second pregnancy was not a daughter but a son. No matter how ruthless Mr. Crawford was to you, he couldn’t bear to touch your son. Probably... he didn’t dare to touch him." "Over the years, Mr. Crawford always kept Master Zane by his side. Because of Master Zane’s origins, he treated him very coldly on the surface, but... every year at Master Zane’s graduation ceremony, Mr. Crawford would secretly attend, not letting Master Zane know, just standing behind him. Mr. Crawford never forgot Master Zane’s birthday. No matter where he was on that day, he would eat a piece of cake and then say into the... air... happy birthday." "I have followed Mr. Crawford for so many years, and I deeply understand how he both hated and loved Master Zane. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, Master Zane has accompanied Mr. Crawford through many long nights, Madam, because he is your son. So, Mr. Crawford has treated Master Zane as his own son for all these years." "Sometimes... I feel like I don’t know Mr. Crawford anymore. Such a decisive and shrewd business monarch, indifferent to everyone else, has repeatedly compromised his principles for you, leaving himself defenseless and utterly defeated." So this is the real Jude Crawford. Isabelle Willow felt as if a sharp blade had pierced her heart, twisting with both blood and flesh, causing her unbearable pain. She didn’t know that it could hurt this much, overwhelmed by immense grief. Zane Crawford is her son... "Madam, these are the two things Mr. Crawford left for you: a divorce agreement and a DNA paternity test report. Chase Sullivan is outside right now. You can leave and regain your freedom. Before his passing, Mr. Crawford had already divided his estate, and his legacy will be equally split between Master Hayden and Master Zane. Regardless, these two are your biological sons. Mr. Crawford also dealt with Zelda Willow, and with a flick, the Willow family’s empire in Aethelgard has turned to ashes. This is the last thing Mr. Crawford did for you, clearing all obstacles on your path and returning your freedom and happiness." said Butler Thorne. Jude Crawford acted against the Willow family, and with just one applauding gesture, the entire Willow family could be obliterated. These past people, past events, the entangled grudges of wealthy families over the years, have disappeared along with his departure. In life, he shielded her from the world’s storms. In death, he took all the storms with him. Zelda Willow seemed to have been pushed into an abyss; Zane is not her son, and the Willow family is gone. In the blink of an eye, she lost everything. Everything she clung to, everything she greedily sought, vanished like foam. That man Jude Crawford... truly heartless. Zelda Willow found an unknown surge of strength, pushing away the two bodyguards beside her and snatching the DNA paternity test report from Isabelle Willow’s hands. She still couldn’t believe it, unwilling to give up, and needed to see it with her own eyes. The two bodyguards wanted to step forward, but Butler Thorne raised a hand and stopped them. Zelda Willow turned to the last page, confirming that Zane Crawford is indeed Isabelle Willow’s biological son. She was stunned. This update ıs available on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 "So it’s true. Zane is really not my son. Jude, why did you treat me ? You deceived me for all these years. I invested all my energy and effort into Zane, but in the end, I raised Isabelle Willow’s son for her. Ha, hahaha..." Zelda Willow’s hands fell limply as she laughed maniacally, losing her sanity. Quickly, Zelda Willow looked up at Isabelle Willow, and her eyes suddenly brightened, "Isabelle Willow, do you think you’ve won? No, you are the one who lost the most, because you lost the man who loved you the most!" "Of course, Jude Crawford didn’t win either; he’s also miserable. He had a DNA test done for you and Zane but never thought to test himself and Zane. Jude Crawford probably never knew you maintained your innocence with Chase Sullivan and that Zane is his biological son. You’ve always loved him, haven’t you?" Butler Thorne’s face changed in shock, "Madam!" Even Butler Thorne didn’t know Zane Crawford was his master’s son. To have missed it ... Butler Thorne’s lips moved, but no words came out, tears already blurring his vision. "Isabelle Willow, I have several things I want to tell you, things I originally planned for you to never know, but now I see it’s more fun to tell you." "Back then, the marriage between you and Jude Crawford started with the Willow family’s financial crisis, and you kneeled in front of the Crawford family’s door. You probably didn’t know, that crisis was manipulated by someone, and that person was Jude Crawford!" "Jude Crawford was deeply in love with you even when you didn’t know it. The Crown Prince of the powerful Crawford family in Aethelgard turned the world upside down to marry you, setting you up in a trap for a marriage he devised." "That time when you jumped from the high platform at Jill’s house, diving into the roaring river, so determined, you probably didn’t know that Jude Crawford jumped in after you, searching for you!" "Later, it took us two days to find him washed ashore on a beach, unconscious. During that time, he was undergoing treatment, suffering from a high fever for a month, disoriented, but day and night, in dreams and reality, he called for you!" "I bet you know your son Hayden Crawford was sent to a mental institution for two years, right? Did you blame Jude Crawford for that, question where he was, or say he was an unfit father? Now I’ll give you the answer: he woke up once during his treatment to arrange your funeral. Right after the ceremony ended, he collapsed into a deep coma. In the following two years, doctors issued several critical illness notices. He hovered at the edge of life and death multiple times. He couldn’t even take care of himself, let alone your son." "It was me. I took advantage of Jude Crawford’s coma to send your son Hayden Crawford in, having him tormented. I wanted to turn him into a madman!" "Isabelle Willow, you see, there are so many things you didn’t know. Jude Crawford, what kind of person was he? He schemed to win the world for you, but in the end, you made him lose you. Twenty years, a full twenty years have passed. You left when he was in his prime, and when you returned, he was already in his twilight years."
