Chapter 10 " Grandpa , don't listen to Julia's nonsense ! " " Bridget indeed sold skewers at the night market , but she earned that money through her own hard work . I don't see anything shameful about that ! " George nodded in agreement , then had someone bring me a photo immediately . It was a picture of a little girl , about four or five years old . " Do you recognize her ? " he asked softly . I froze . The child in the photo looked exactly like me when I was little . My family had an old photo album , filled with pictures my grandmother took of me every year after she found me . She said she wanted to keep them as mementos for when I grew up . I instantly understood something and looked up at George in disbelief . The old man spoke , " She is my youngest granddaughter . She got kidnapped by human traffickers and we put in a massive effort , but could never find her . " " Seeing you today , I just inexplicably felt that you look very much like her , so ... " As he finished speaking , George's voice was trembling . " She looks exactly like me at five ! " I blurted out . So , I pulled up the original photo I'd taken on my phone to show him . George gasped the moment he saw it . But instead of immediately confirming my identity , he asked , " Would you mind if I took a strand of your hair for a DNA test ? " I nodded . I also wanted to know if I still had any family left in this world . George immediately took a strand of my hair and handed it to his assistant . " Quickly . Make it urgent ! " What began as a birthday party had suddenly turned into a family reunion . Everyone wore mixed expressions . Especially Jeremy , who was gripping his wine glass so tightly he seemed even more nervous than I was . After a long wait , George's phone rang . Then , his assistant's delighted voice came through . " Sir , the results are out ! The DNA match between you and Miss Lockhe shows a 99.9 % probability of a blood relation ! " The moment those words were spoken , George's phone clattered to the floor . The woman beside him also rushed forward , embracing me and calling out tenderly , " My little sister ! " 9:22 Thu , Oct 16 94 Julia's face turned deathly pale as she murmured , " How is this possible ? How could a street food seller be the missing youngest daughter of the Shelton Family ? Jer , say something ! What should we do now ? " Jeremy crushed his wine glass in his hand with a loud crack . The shards of glass quickly pierced his skin , covering his hand in blood . Not long after , the Sheltons held a grand party to officially welcome me back and , at the same time , announced my engagement to James . Yet , on the eve of that engagement , Jeremy kidnapped me . On the roof of the Fosters ' company building , Jeremy removed my blindfold , gripping my leg as he looked up at me with such a maniac's expression . " Bridget , don't marry James ! He knew your true identity all along ; he's only trying to marry you to take advantage of the benefits your status can bring him ! " Otherwise , why would he take you to the banquet ? Why would he personally bring you to George Shelton ? " I just smiled and replied , " If my status can bring him benefits , I am willing to let him profit ! Just like back then , when you were my boyfriend , I was willing to support you . " Jeremy froze . After a long moment , he spoke incredulously . " You don't mind that his love for you has ulterior motives ? " I directly countered , " Wasn't your pursuit of me back then also driven by ulterior motives ? " Yes , because of that three - thousand - dollar compensation money . During university , Jeremy thought being with me would make his life easier . It's a pity that even though I agreed to be his girlfriend , no matter how much he coaxed or tricked me , I never touched that money , even in my hardest times . Because to me , that money was my grandmother's life . Jeremy slumped onto the ground after hearing my words , right as James arrived with the police . Chapter 10
