Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1585 - 1557 This plot is really... Ah!

Chapter 1585: Chapter 1557 This plot is really... Ah!

Spectators were expecting a grand science fiction drama, preferably with some mysticism-spiked super science—soul swapping, how cool is that, ask yourself, isn’t it cool!

But after such a long wait, with conspiracy this and that, betting lives and whatnot, out comes Sonya Cornelle declaring that this is actually a family ethics drama, sparked by a case of assault that led to a child swap incident.

When these words were uttered, it truly was a mix of joy and sorrow for different families.

Kiara and Yuzo Joel shared a heartfelt look through the screen. Kiara wished she could rush over immediately—this was her genuinely authentic Dad!

Yuzo Joel instantly felt clear-headed and invigorated, as if all his ailments had ceased to ache!

This was his child, absolutely genuine!

It’s as if his back was no longer sore, his legs no longer ached, even terminal diseases were no scare, he felt like he could climb five floors without any effort. After searching high and low, it turned out the truth was this sweet and satisfying!

Both of them were so moved they were beside themselves, while Thomas Norris was dumbfounded.

How could this be?

Sonya Cornelle spoke again.

"After meeting Kevin, I felt Kiara’s features just didn’t match the child I had seen before. Something felt off, and just around that time, I heard about Thomas Norris targeting Kevin and Kiara, so I followed the clues I had... I found the nanny as well, she’s just concerned her privacy would be compromised by coming forward, but when necessary, she can also testify."

Now there was both human and material evidence, entirely irrefutable, leaving no room for doubt.

Apart from Kiara’s relatives who were delighted, the rest of the conglomerates were extremely disappointed. They didn’t care who was whose child, they were only interested in the soul swapping business, and now that everything was clear, everyone’s expectations were dashed—there was nothing left to watch, it was time to disperse.

The most disappointed among them was Thomas Norris.

He had spent a lifetime scheming and plotting, thinking he had caught his victims’ fatal weakness, but it seemed not only did he fail to deal a blow, but he also ended up being a catalyst for a father-daughter reunion?!

He tried earnestly to be the villain, but ended up ineffectually becoming a facilitator of their emotional connection—how utterly frustrating!

Seeing the situation slip away, Thomas Norris was so enraged that he spewed out blood and fainted from sheer anger.

There was another person who was quite frustrated—Mario Yuno, who was all set to make a killing.

Just when he had gotten down to business again, with the pricing and discounts all set, Sisi’s Auntie could have come at any earlier or later time, but no, she appeared just when he was all ready to make big money for his daughter-in-law.

This left Camden Yuno no choice but to lament and despair.

Seeing the Spectators about to depart in disappointment, Mario Yuno was still there shouting.

"The number is 139xxx... Those who need a paternity test, contact us quickly, there’s a discount for the early birds, I said a discount—"

"Langa, stop making a fuss, it seems like they’ve all logged off already," Aka couldn’t bear to remind Mario Yuno.

This storyline really is...

You might guess the beginning but never the end. Kiara’s identity secret, starting from Thomas Norris and Yuzo Joel’s life-risking struggle, to Mario Yuno’s openly priced testing services, and now to Mario Yuno’s discounts being ignored, life is truly full of surprises...

Now it’s not just Mario Yuno wanting to sell DNA testing for money—even if he were to offer it for free, people are no longer interested.

Who cares about these ethical dramas? Money doesn’t grow on trees, and it’s not like anyone would go through the trouble of kidnapping Kiara. Sonya Cornelle came with solid evidence, and since it had nothing to do with eternal life, it didn’t matter who the real father was or who assaulted the woman.

All bets were off, and this high-stakes final showdown concluded with the mystery of Kiara and Yuzo Joel’s relationship being solved.

Thomas Norris was apprehended by Mario Yuno and handed over to the police on kidnapping charges, after having tied up three hostages and wagered their lives against Kiara’s. This had already breached the law, and what awaited him was the sanction of the law.

Moreover, these three cases were just the tip of the iceberg. Once he was behind bars, a continuous stream of JR’s dark secrets came to light. According to foreign punishment standards, he would be locked up for life without a chance of release.

Of course, Kiara wouldn’t let him off easily in the aftermath. She still planned to deal with him, but that was a matter for later. Right now, Kiara had more pressing matters to attend to.

The competition had ended, and the screen had gone completely black. Only Kiara and a few others remained in the room. Kiara still sat stiffly in her seat, staring blankly at the now darkened screen.

Sonya Cornelle gently patted her, "Child, are you very shocked?"

"It’s more like a huge surprise... not a shock... Auntie, did you really find all this through facial analysis alone?" Kiara felt as if she were dreaming.

"Uh, not really... but you can think of it that way," Sonya replied.

Sonya Cornelle had been entrusted with a task by someone, and that person was—she shifted her gaze to the Fox Cat.

"Fox Cat, Auntie hasn’t read your fortune for a long time. Would you like a reading?" Sonya asked.

This statement felt odd. Kiara’s recognition of her family was the main event, yet Sonya Cornelle was asking the Fox Cat?

"Auntie, go ahead," the Fox Cat knew Sonya Cornelle had a hidden meaning in her words.

The Fox Cat received as much shock today as Kiara did, leaving his mind in a blank state. He would respond to Sonya Cornelle however she prompted him.

"Come, draw a stick," Sonya Cornelle presented a fortune-drawing cylinder. "This is the Guanyin fortune stick. While drawing, silently think about what’s on your mind, and then I’ll interpret the one you pick."

The Fox Cat put his hands together in a prayer but his mind was a blank slate.

What should he do now? His father had fallen from grace, Kiara was now truly his sister, his enemies were gone, and romance was out of the question. What direction should his life take now?

The stick was drawn, and Sonya Cornelle glanced at it before speaking.

"This is number forty-five, an auspicious stick. ’Benevolence encounters the sage, gentleness has triumphed since ancient times; the doors of accumulated virtue bring great fortune and prosperity; if someone draws this fortune, it’s like quenching their thirst with sweet nectar.’ Congratulations."

"What does that mean?" the Fox Cat asked.

"This fortune signifies accumulated kindness and gentleness. With such a temperament, you will be surrounded by benefactors and harmony. Child, the pain you’ve endured in the first half of your life will dissipate as soon as the evildoer leaves. When that truly despicable person is punished, the one you’ve yearned for will enter your life, providing the warmth you need."

"Heh, that’s impossible," the Fox Cat said with a bitter laugh.

Kiara could never be his, so who else could bring him warmth?

"Silly child, there’s so much love to experience in life; how can you assume it’s only romantic love? Of course, you will have romantic love, but not now. This person I speak of is not a wife, but family."

"Family?" Was she referring to Yuzo Joel? Or Kiara?

"It’s a kinship that will benefit you for life, not Kevin or Kiara. She left when you were very small, not because she abandoned you but because she has always been watching over you. Just as Mr. Joel treats Kiara, each child is a precious treasure to their parents; no one is abandoned."

"Auntie, I don’t quite understand..." A vision of a woman holding him seemed to form in the Fox Cat’s mind, but it was too faint to recall.

"Not understanding is okay, you’ll know when the time comes. Now, I must go—"

"Wait! Auntie! I still have something to ask!"
