The Unwanted Daughter When Love Comes Too Late novel Chapter 274

Daphne shook her head in disappointment. “Liam, I always thought you were just reckless, that you’d grow out of it one day. I never imagined you’d go so far as to deny your own sister. Sometimes I wish you weren’t even my son–like Tracy–that way you could never hurt Erin again.”

Andrew fixed him with the stern, commanding look that had terrified Liam since childhood. “I’ll give you one last chance. Apologize to Erin–right now.”

Even Norris, though technically an outsider, couldn’t hide the anger in his eyes as he looked at

Liam.

Liam stood frozen, staring at these people he’d lived with for more than twenty years. Suddenly, they all felt like strangers. Strangers who refused to see the truth.

The evidence was right in front of them. Erin’s act was transparent–so obviously staged. And yet, they were blind to it, every single one of them.

He stumbled back two steps, pale and shaken. “You’re all… you’re all brainwashed by her! You’ve lost your minds!”

But his words only deepened their disappointment.

“I think you’re the one who’s lost it,” Andrew said coldly. “From this day forward, you’ll move out. You’re not allowed near Erin. Your cards will be frozen, and I’ll make sure no one out there gives you special treatment because you’re a Jackman. When you finally admit you were wrong, then–and only then–will you be welcomed back.”

The last time they’d shouted at him to “get out of the Jackman residence,” it had been in anger, a rash threat. This time, Andrew meant it.

And no one else in the family spoke up to stop him. Their silence was consent.

Liam’s eyes

eyes widened, tears threatening to spill. “You’re really going to throw me out–for her? For some fraud with no real background?”

It was the first time any of them had seen him look so broken.

He had always been impulsive, hotheaded, beaten plenty of times by Benjamin, lectured harshly by Andrew. But even then, he’d never backed down, never shown fear. He had always been defiant. Unshaken.

Seeing him like this, everyone at Jackman family felt a twinge of pity.

Because Erin’s sobs cut through the air again. “It’s all my fault … I’m the reason for this. If I hadn’t come back, my sister wouldn’t be stirring up trouble, turning Liam against the family. It’s me. I ruined everything.”

She buried her face against Norris’s chest, her voice breaking. “Just let me die … if I die, it’ll all be over… let me die!”

She thrashed again in his arms, but her body never once lurched toward the window. Her struggles were all for show. Only Liam seemed to notice.

Norris’s arms tightened around her protectively, his eyes flashing with fury as he glared at Liam. He opened his mouth, about to lash out, but stopped himself.

He wasn’t family. It wasn’t his place.

Instead, he drew in a sharp breath and forced calm into his voice. “If Liam insists the reports are real, and you all don’t believe him, then there’s one fair solution–let’s do another DNA test right now. We’ll all witness the samples being taken together. No one will have the chance to tamper with anything. With the Jackman family’s resources, the results will be out quickly.”

It was the most rational suggestion yet, and everyone agreed.

Everyone except Erin, whose head snapped up, eyes wide, disbelief written across her face.

Wasn’t he supposed to defend her? To scold Liam on her behalf? Why was he helping him?

Norris had stayed silent the whole time, and now that he finally spoke, why was it to help Liam?

For the first time, unease crawled through her chest, sharp and suffocating. Worse than the day Norris had caught her meeting Matthew in secret.

More and more, things seemed to be slipping out of her control.

Still, one thing was in her hands. And that was the DNA results.

The words on the paper cut through Liam like a blade. “Confirmed biological relation.”

His entire body went rigid. “No… No, that’s impossible.”

“You made a mistake! You must’ve messed this up! I was just here a few days ago with multiple DNA samples. Don’t you remember? The results back then were completely different! This one has to be wrong.”

“Do it again! I don’t believe this–do it again!”

And so, under his desperate demands, the tests were repeated.

But no matter how many times they performed the test, the answer remained unchanged. Every test confirmed that Erin was, without question, the Jackman family’s blood.

Liam’s face drained of all color. He stared at the paper, trembling, his voice hoarse with disbelief. “This can’t be real … it can’t be …

He had gone to such lengths, eliminated every possible margin of error. So why was the result still this?
