“You—" Derek stammered, his face reddening with anger. “Marissa, stop making things up! When did | ever
make advances on you?”
Marissa’s smile was sharp, her eyes glinting with knowing. “Everyone knows about your advances back then.
The whole Daniels family remembers, even Connor.”
Derek was stunned into silence. The scandal at the Palace Hotel was still fresh in everyone’s mind, leaving him
marked for harassing his uncle's wife. There was no erasing that.
Marissa’s tone turned mocking as she pressed on. “I may not be your aunt-in-law anymore, and | don’t have the
right to lecture you, but letsay this: Derek, you're part of the Daniels family now. It’s tto leave behind
those bad habits you picked up in Adagend.”
Derek's face flushed with anger, his jaw clenched tight. “Marissa, stop twisting things. We're not talking about
my habits. We're talking about you pretending to be Tiffany. You should kneel and admit everything.”
Just then, Camila suddenly rushed forward. She grabbed Derek's sleeve, her voice shaking. “Derek, my
grandson! I've finally seen you again.”
Camila’s love for Derek was clear. Even though her family had little, she had always tried to give him the best
she could.
Since Derek was taken back by the Daniels family, Camila had missed him every day. Her heart ached, and her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteyes were nearly blind from the constant tears she had shed. Derek couldn't bear to look at his former family
again. Seeing Camila only dredged up memories of his painful childhood. When she grabbed his sleeve, his body
reacted on its own—he pushed her away without thinking.

At over eighty years old, Camila wasn’t able to handle the force of his push. She stumbled, losing her balance,
and fell hard on the floor.
Without a moment's hesitation, Marissa rushed to her side, helping her to her feet. Then, her gaze turned to
Derek, sharp and accusing. “Derek, no matter how much you hate your parents for keeping you apart from your
real family, Camila had nothing to do with that. She took care of you for twenty years. How could you treat her
like this?”
Derek's lips curled into a mocking sneer. “Marissa, how can you still deny that you're an imposter? If you're
really not from Adagend, then why do you care so much about this old woman?”
Marissa’s parents jumped in immediately, their voices thick with anger. “Exactly. Marissa, you've always been
close to this old woman. Helping her now? It’s just in your nature, isn’t it?”
The crowd, which had been unsure moments before, now whispered among themselves, certain that Marissa was
indeed an imposter.
Camila was still in shock from the push. Marissa comforted her for a while before arranging for someone to take
her to rest.
Once Camila had been taken away, Marissa turned to face the crowd, her voice steady. “I'm sure you all have
questions about my identity after hearing what these people have said. Letshow you whether I'm truly a
member of the Nash family in Blebert...”
Marissa’s unflappable demeanor had everyone in the room murmuring in confusion.
