Andrew was shocked and furious. “Even if Natasha has a lot of resentment toward the family, she shouldn’t ruin her mother’s birthday like this.”
A funeral procession! Who was cursing?
Shawn shook his head and said, “That’s not right. Miss Clark spent the past 17 years in the Clark family, and her every birthday was treated as a day of mourning. Now it’s history repeating itself. Why can’t you accept it?”
He pretended to think. “Ah, do you still think it’s not enough? Do you want everyone’s birthday to feel like a death anniversary, too? It would be best to make it a full 17 times. If you have the need, I’m sur、r. Turner and Miss Clark wouldn’t begrudge the cost of the band.”
Upon hearing that, the procession behind him played mournful music with even greater fervor.
The high–pitched and sorrowful sound rang out.
Andrew dared not speak his anger.
He believed that if he said anything, Natasha, his unfilial daughter, and Alexei would truly go through with it.
The gossiping guests on the scene were struck silent.
Good heavens, whose birthday party turned into a funeral scene?
How ominous.
Thomas helped the weak–kneed Madeline, frowning as he looked at Shawn. “Shawn, since you mentioned the death anniversary, you must know the history of the Clark family. There’s a reason Natasha hasn’t celebrated her birthday since
she was six.”
“Oh, difficulties, I understand,” Shawn said, disrespectfully reaching out to tap the photo held by the person next to him.
Shawn continued, “Emilia Sutton, Olivia’s mother. Oliviathe was the Clark family’s

adopted daughter. Emilia was also Miss Clark’s former aunt. Is it true that she died saving Miss Clark?”
He smiled, looking at Olivia, who was stiff. Her face was as pale as her mother’s in a black–and–white photo.
“Miss Sutton, do you think it is true?”
Olivia had a bad feeling ever since she saw the photos they brought in. Her body was trembling.
Ever since seeing those photos in front of the prison, she had been wondering when Natasha would expose it.
However, she never thought Natasha would be so ruthless, exposing it directly at Madeline’s birthday party in such a humiliating manner.
However, Shawn had no intention of letting her off easy. Seeing that she didn’t answer, he casually changed the topic.
“Miss Clark had a question she couldn’t understand, and she asked me to ask about it today. Do you truly believe someone would take another person’s child into their home and raise her as their own because that person saved the family’s child, while their own daughter, who barely survived, lives like an orphan?”
Upon hearing that, the guests began to murmur.
In the past, people didn’t know the Clark family showed such extreme favoritism, or how miserably Natasha lived. They knew the Clark family adopted Emilia’s daughter and even praised the Clark couple for their integrity and loyalty. Andrew, in particular, leveraged that good reputation to secure several major projects, which laid the foundation for the Clark family’s upward rise.
Later, when Natasha publicly severed ties with her family and the Clark family’s grievances became known, there was no shortage of people behind the scenes mocking the couple for their foolishness and ruthlessness.
Something indeed felt off when they thought about it carefully at that moment.
Andrew could be seen as blinded by greed, but what about Madeline, Natasha’s mother?

“Why else? Either insane or hiding something.” A lazy male voice chimed in from
the side.
The Hill family was among the few to receive invitations to both birthday parties tonight. Ramona, the head of the Hill family, naturally went to congratulate Edgar.
She sent Ryan, her cousin, to Andrew’s event to make an appearance.
Ryan felt a sense of ill omen seeing the place, which had ruined his unlucky cousin, Matthew, the second male descendant of the Hill family.
After being disciplined a few times by Ramona, his sweet–talking but ruthless cousin, Ryan truly didn’t dare to defy her arrangements.
Ryan was ready to leave after dutifully delivering the gift and witnessing the drama of the Wright family brothers‘ internal conflict.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing an imposing procession delivering gifts at the entrance, he circled back.
What a timely and fortunate return! Who would have thought tonight’s main event would be there?
Ryan was happily filming, and his resentment about being sent alone to the dilapidated Clark family home disappeared. The event at Ramona’s side tonight was definitely not as exciting as this.
Having worked with Ramona, Ryan recognized Shawn and knew Ramona had a good private relationship with Natasha.
Upon hearing Shawn’s question at that moment, he spontaneously chimed in.
Sure enough, Shawn seemed to recognize him and smiled. “Mr. Hill is right,” he said. “So, what exactly is worth Mrs. Clark treating her daughter this way? We seem to have found something interesting.”
Madeline felt the gazes from all directions and was filled with the horror of her ugliest inner thoughts being exposed. Her body went numb. She wanted to hide, but had nowhere to go.

Andrew also wanted to stop them, but the bodyguards who came with Shawn were watching intently from the side.
They powerlessly realized the show could only continue until he finished.
Natasha sent them today to completely expose the hypocrisy of the Clark family and trample their pretense to the ground.
They would not stop until their goal was reached.
Sure enough, Shawn continued, “Many people know Miss Sutton’s mother is Emilia, but they don’t know who her father is.”
Ignoring Olivia, whose expression changed drastically, he smiled and said, “Carlos Winters–who divorced Emilia when Olivia, oh no, she was called Olivia Winters back then, was 8 years old–was a complete scoundrel. He was a drunkard, a compulsive gambler, frequented prostitutes, and committed domestic violence.”
Olivia clenched her fists. Shawn revealing her unknown background was like endless torture.
