Compared to the sound of that loud slap, Richard Donovan’s words just now were even more stunning.
Yvonne Donovan montarily disregarded her reddened, swollen cheek from Richard’s slap and rushed to him.
"She’s your daughter? How could she possibly be your daughter?"
From as far back as she could rember, she had never seen any intimate behavior between Richard Donovan and her mother Jenna Sawyer. How could a sister suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Jenna Sawyer said nothing, only stared intently at July Quinn’s beautiful yet familiar face, her long painted nails digging deeply into her palm.
Laura Quinn!
From the first mont she laid eyes on July Quinn, Jenna Sawyer was reminded of Laura Quinn.
But Laura Quinn had been gone for many years, and the age didn’t match!
So she comforted herself, certain that Richard had found a girl from sowhere else who looked remarkably like Laura Quinn to keep around and compensate for the regret of losing Laura back then.
If that were all, Jenna might not have minded turning a blind eye since a woman kept outside couldn’t threaten her and Yvonne’s position.
But the result was that July Quinn turned out to be Richard’s biological daughter!
This ant not only her and Yvonne’s family status would be threatened, but Jenna was also more worried about the secrets from back then being exposed...
"Is she Uncle’s daughter? So we now have another cousin?"
"Richard, I think it’s too soon to conclude she’s your daughter. You’re soone many would want to attach themselves to, so I think it’s necessary to thoroughly investigate."
"I don’t care; I only acknowledge Yvonne as my cousin!"
The Donovan Family had various opinions, but most were questioning July Quinn’s identity.
Old Master Donovan was no different: "Have you done a paternity test? Don’t let soone with ulterior motives take advantage!"
When saying "soone with ulterior motives," Old Master Donovan gave July a pointed look, clearly referring to her.
"Dad, I’ve done the paternity test, and I personally arranged for it to ensure there’s no mistake, absolutely no room for manipulation."
When Richard Donovan brought the paternity test results to July Quinn, he had already told her: "I know you’re my child because I know Laura isn’t the type of woman to fool around. This test is just to shut others up."
Seeing the reactions of the Donovan family mbers now, July’s previous confusion was all cleared up.
But seeing everyone look at her with such an invasive gaze, July suddenly started to doubt whether entering the Donovan family was the right choice.
Amidst July’s confusion, Richard Donovan announced again: "So starting today, July is a mber of our family, my most beloved daughter. She will live with us, and I’m preparing a dinner party to announce her identity to the public."
On top of that, Richard Donovan announced that he would transfer half of his movable and immovable assets directly to July Quinn’s na.
July’s room was arranged next to Yvonne’s, the largest room with the best lighting.
Moreover, Richard assigned ten maids, two drivers, and six bodyguards to her.
The car was the best in the garage, the one Yvonne had always wanted but never got.
In short, Richard Donovan spared no effort in giving the best part of himself to July Quinn.
This was also the reason why Richard was so eager to bring July ho, wanting her to feel the warmth of family and to do his best to make up for the fatherly love she’d missed for so many years.
This indeed made July feel his attention, but it left his other daughter feeling discontent.
Sure enough, with reddened eyes, Yvonne Donovan questioned Richard Donovan.
"And what about ? She’s your most beloved daughter, so what am I? What does Yvonne Donovan matter to you?"
