Chapter 1227: Chapter 1224: Different from What was Imagined

"But you said Rose Liall isn’t your biological mother?"

Annie Lawrence was taken aback, lifting her head to meet Madam White’s sharp gaze, her back immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.

She stammered, "She, she indeed is not my biological mother. My adoptive father once told me that he was afraid his boss’s enemies would find me, so he sent me away to be raised."

"My actual age is one year older than it is now. I was registered a year younger back then, also out of fear that those enemies would come knocking."

After finishing her speech, Annie Lawrence couldn’t help but sigh of relief.

She felt as if she had just escaped from the brink of death.

Luckily, she and Rebecca Kelloway had guessed what Madam White might ask, so they had already prepared responses.

But even so, she was still so nervous she broke out in a sweat.

At first, Annie Lawrence thought that Madam White might be naive and easily fooled like many from wealthy families.

But now, she completely dismissed such ideas.

She was too careless.

A woman who could survive that disaster unscathed and become the glorious Madam White, she couldn’t possibly be simple.

But, as Rebecca Kelloway told her, as long as she cooperates obediently, this matter would be infallible.

Even if Madam White still had some suspicions about her.

As long as the results of the paternity test came out, it would be able to dispel all her doubts.

Upon thinking about this, Annie Lawrence felt somewhat reassured.

Looking at Madam White again, she wasn’t as nervous as before, she moistened her lips, putting on a sorrowful expression and continued, "My adoptive father told me, my biological parents encountered great trouble back then, so they couldn’t bring me with them. Since they trusted him enough to entrust their daughter to him, he would definitely protect me and ensure my safe and healthy growth."

Madam White pursed her lips, remaining silent.

After asking these questions, it seemed like everything about this girl was impeccable.

All signs confirmed that she could very possibly be her daughter.

However, Madam White still found it hard to believe.

Deep down, she strongly resisted accepting the idea that Annie Lawrence is her daughter.

Her Cecilia would definitely be an incredibly adorable and kind-hearted girl.

How could it possibly be Annie Lawrence, the kind of malevolent person who stole her sister’s fiancé and consistently undermined her sister behind her back?

Even with all these facts laid before her, Madam White still felt that her daughter couldn’t possibly be Annie Lawrence.

If she was her biological daughter, why was she filled with such disgust?

She instead felt a mother-daughter bond with a girl who wasn’t her biological child.

When she only saw Joanna Lawrence’s photo, she had an inexplicable intuition and believed that she must be her daughter.

Later on, when she met her in person, she fell in love with her instantly.

Even before the paternity test, she already deeply regarded Joanna Lawrence as her daughter.

But facing Annie Lawrence, she felt no joy at all.

She even thought, if this truly was her biological daughter, she would be somewhat disappointed...

She knew her thoughts were unfair.

But with Annie Lawrence, she simply couldn’t bring herself to like her.

Madam White fell silent for a very long time. This silence unsettled Annie Lawrence who was confident she would soon become the daughter of the White family.

Why was this situation unfolding differently from what she expected?
