Carillos City, the Glenn residence.

"Wah...wah..."

Eva Hill was woken up by the crying of a baby before eight o'clock.

Despite not having enough sleep, she turned her head to glance at the baby next to her before getting up to prepare the baby's food.

The baby asleep immediately after eating.

Just as Eva was about to lie down, her foster father, Thomas Glenn, stormed into the room, furiously.

Her stepmother and stepsister followed closely behind.

Bang!

With a face full of rage, Thomas forcefully threw a DNA test report at Eva's face, then glared at her pale and cold face as he roared, "It's 99.99% DNA match that she's your biological daughter. What else do you have to say?"

Eva let the DNA paternity test report slide off her body. "I've never given birth to a child, whether you believe it or not."

Three days ago, on Eva's 19th birthday, the only gift she received was a newborn baby and a printed letter stating that the baby was her biological daughter.

Afterwards, she did three DNA tests, and all three reports showed that the baby was her biological daughter. However, she didn't have a boyfriend, didn't sleep with any man, hadn't gone to an egg donor, nor had she been pregnant or given birth before. The baby's background was mysterious.

"You're still lying when there's evidence. How did I end up raising such a shameful daughter? You're a disgrace to the Glenn family. Mr. Denz, take that illegitimate child on the bed and throw her away."

Thomas's last sentence was directed at the Glenn family's steward.

"Whoever dares to touch a single finger of hers, I'll cut off their arm!"

Eva seemed to speak casually in a gentle voice. However, she looked fierce and didn't appear as if she was joking.

She has a slender figure, fair and delicate skin, exquisite and pretty facial features. Despite being only 19 years old, a dangerous aura that could chill one to their bones wreathed her. She was like the king of Hell.

Although she'd only been with the baby girl on the bed for a few days, she felt an inexplicable affection for her - whether it was due to the innate maternal instinct in women, or the sense of familiarity she felt the first time she laid eyes on the girl. There's even a slight resemblance between her and the girl.

Witnessing the overwhelming aura Eva emitted, Mr. Denz didn't dare approach her.

Thomas was also startled and after regaining his composure, he pointed at Eva and bellowed, "How dare you!"

"Wah…"

The baby on the bed was awakened by the noise.

Eva glanced at the baby before bending over to pick her up.

The baby girl was rather cooperative. She immediately stopped crying when Eva held her.

Thomas was frustrated. "You've given birth to a child for a man before you turn 20 years old. You're nothing but a..."

"Watch your words," Eva's sharp gaze swept over Thomas. "Since you can’t accept this baby girl, there’s no reason for me to stay here any longer."

"What do you mean?" Thomas asked.

"She's supposed to replace me to marry that old deadbeat from the Owens family, who has already had three wives died. She can't leave," Tiff, her stepsister who had been silent, quickly tried to interfere.

Eva's cold gaze swept over the stepsister. "Why should I marry a man that even you look down upon? What right do you have to make me marry him?"

"You...what exactly do you mean by that? Who do you think you're disparaging? Mom, Dad, tie this ingrate up and give her a good beating!" Tiff said angrily.

"I haven't picked a fight in a long time, and my hands are itching for one. Are you going to come at me one at a time, or all at once?"

"You...you disrespectful girl. Do you dare to lay a hand on me?" Thomas asked angrily.

"If one doesn't offend me, I won't offend them."

Having said that, Eva walked towards the bedroom while carrying the baby in her arms.

Knowing that Eva was determined to leave, Emma Burnett thought for a moment, smiled smugly, and said, "You want to leave, huh? Fine. But you must pay off all the money your adoptive father spent on you in one lump sum. Otherwise, don’t even think about stepping out of the Glenn residence."

Eva was adopted by the Glenn family. To be exact, it was actually her adoptive mother, Lucy Hill, who adopted her.

When she was five months old, Lucy passed away.

Less than a month later, her adoptive father married Emma.

When Emma moved in, she brought along Tiff Glenn, who was four months old at the time.

After Emma moved in, Eva was left to the care of the servants of the Glenn family.

Thomas went about as though nothing had happened.

When Eva was ten years old, under the persuasion of Emma, Thomas sent her to a rented house in the countryside to fend for herself.

When Eva was almost nineteen, under the instigation of Emma, Thomas finally brought her back from the countryside. The purpose was to let Eva replace Tiff in a marriage to a man over sixty, who had already lost three wives, in a business marriage alliance.

Eva carried her adoptive mother's last name.

Tiff assumed that Eva, who had grown up in the countryside, never studied, and didn't have a job, wouldn't be able to come up with the money. Hence, she curled her lips into a smile and agreed, "That's right. If you want to leave, pay back the money first."

Eva turned to look at them. "I can pay back the money, but a 'Dissolution of Relationship Agreement' must be signed. Dare you sign it?"

"Why wouldn't we dare? On the contrary, do you have the money to pay us back? Are you willing to sever ties with the Glenn family?" Tiff contemptuously asked.

Eva shifted her gaze to Thomas. "To my knowledge, you spent no more than ten thousand on me."

Thomas had stopped caring for her after she turned ten.

It was her foster mother who bought her the milk powder, clothes, and other necessities with her premarital assets before she turned one. Thomas did not spend a single cent on her.

"What do you mean? Who told you that the money your father spent on you doesn't even add up to ten thousand? It's undeniably an enormous favor even if that's the case. You're not even his biological daughter. If it wasn't for his mercy to let you stay in the Glenn residence, you'd be dead by now. How can ten thousand be enough to repay kindness?" Emma said with a dark expression.

Ignoring Emma, Eva asked Thomas, "How much money do you want me to pay back?"

Thomas's face was extremely ugly.

He looked at Eva contemptuously, "One million, not a penny less."

"Hehe..." Tiff sneered and said mockingly, "Dad, look at her poor appearance. She probably can't even afford a hundred dollars. Asking for a million might be too much, don’t you think? Be careful not to drive her to death."

Emma also showed a mocking expression.

She didn't believe that a country bumpkin who never studied could come up with a million.

She thought that Eva would not leave the Glenn residence no matter what.

Eva smirked as she answered, "Okay, let's get the lawyer over then. Without a lawyer, I won't pay a cent."

Thomas, Emma, and Tiff were utterly shocked by what they heard.

"What did you say?" Tiff asked, thinking she must've heard wrong.

"I want a lawyer. Don't make me repeat myself."

...

Half an hour later, a lawyer arrived at the Glenn residence.

Under the witness of the lawyer, Eva and Thomas signed an agreement severing their relationship. Only then did Eva hand over a million to Thomas in front of the lawyer.

Seeing the transfer confirmation, Thomas was dumbstruck.

Tiff and Emma were equally taken aback.

None of them could believe their eyes.

Regaining her senses, Emma asked Eva, "Where did you get the million from?"

Eva ignored Emma and held the baby girl in her arms. She walked away without looking back.

"Mom, if she's leaving the Glenn residence, who will take my place and marry that old man from the Owens family?"

Tiff had just finished talking when Thomas received a call from his assistant. "What's up?"

"Mr. Glenn, the stocks you bought yesterday made a profit earlier on and then lost 900,000 dollars the next."

"What?"
