Everyone entered the elevator together. As the doors closed, Lillian’s curiosity bubbled over. “Dad, who was that aunt just
Hayden took a moment to think before responding, “She’s just. stranger.”
Lillian furrowed her brow in confusion. “What is a stranger?”
“It means I just don’t know her,” Hayden added..
Still perplexed, Lillian asked. “What are you talking about?”
Stacey couldn’t help but chuckle to herself. She thought, “Children can be so incredibly frustrating at times.”
Hayden patiently explained, “A stranger is someone you don’t know. Just like you don’t know who she is, Mommy and Daddy don’t know her either.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Lillian’s eyes widened as if a light bulb had gone off in her head. She nodded earnestly, “I get it!”
After holding Kevin for a while, Stacey’s arms began to ache. She bent down and gently placed him on the ground.
Hayden thought for a moment and then put Lillian down as well. “Will you be staying in Nostralis for a few more days?” he asked.
Stacey considered briefly before nodding. “Yes, we plan to take Lillian and Kevin to the amusement park tomorrow.”
Recalling the fun amusement park he had recommended, Hayden smiled. “Enjoy yourselves. The day after tomorrow, I’ll take you to meet Mr. Fraley.”
Stacey nodded and said, “Okay”
After escorting them back to their room, Hayden prepared to leave. Stacey wanted to invite him in, but he politely declined. “I need to follow up on some business matters discussed at the new product launch event. I don’t want to forget anything important,” he explained.
As Hayden walked away, Stacey closed the door behind her, her mind racing with thoughts about Eugene. She hurried back‘ to her computer, eager to research more about him.
As Stacey delved into her research about Mr. Fraley, major domestic platforms suddenly erupted with trending topics surrounding Janet, the once–renowned actress. The headlines were shocking and relentless, painting a scandalous picture.
“Janet is not the daughter of the Mitchell family at all!” “Janet and Becky are sisters!” “Becky divorced because her sister seduced the rich brother–in–law!” “Becky was abused by the Mitchell family! These hashtags were on the top list. Stacey, busy with her own career concerns, initially paid no attention to these until she received frantic calls from Lynn and Charlie, urging her not to care about the latest updates online.
Concerned, Stacey opened the social platform and was immediately bombarded with articles and videos dissecting Janet’s life like a subject of a public trial. Her heart raced with disbelief. What do they mean Janet isn’t the daughter of the Mitchell family?‘ she wondered.
Stacey clicked on the news and found a long essay filled with photos and reports. In the end, the story revealed that over 20 years ago, a test–tube baby created by Gary and his wife didn’t work. The doctor mistakenly identified the artificially created baby of another couple, Fraser and Goldie Levine, as Gary and Karen’s and implanted it into Karen’s body.

Nobody would have discovered this secret. However, after Fraser and Goldie had failed” with their test–tube baby for the first time, they tried again and eventually succeeded in having a on named Derek.
A year ago, Derek was diagnosed with advanced renal failure and urgently needed a kidney transplant. Fraser and Goldie were desperate to find a suitable kidney. Suddenly, they remembered a joke their relatives often made about how the celebrity Janet looked like them, almost as if they were family.
In their desperation, Fraser and Goldie wondered if Janet’s kidney could match their son’s. They even considered if the resemblance meant they were related.
After discovering this possibility, the couple began to inquire about Janet and attempted to get close to her. They disguised themselves as hotel cleaners to sneak in when Janet checked out collecting her toothbrush and hair for a paternity test.
Many might think Fraser and Goldie’s actions were crazy and a violation of privacy. However, the paternity test results showed they were indeed related: Janet was their daughter.
Initially shocked, Fraser and Goldie investigated further and learned that more than 20 years ago, they had gone to the same hospital as Gary and his wife for test–tube babies. They had saved a lot of money to go to the best hospital, but it had ended in disappointment when their attempt failed.
With this new discovery, they realized that the embryo they had successfully cultivated was mistakenly implanted into someone else. This revelation led to intense conflict between Fraser, Goldie, and the Mitchell family. After much arguing, the Mitchell family conducted a paternity test that confirmed Janet’s true identity.
When the truth came to light, Gary and his wife were humiliated and became the subject of jokes among the wealthy community. The jokes often involved Rebecca, the adopted daughter of the Mitchell family.
Rebecca, also known as Becky, was a rising star in showbiz, and also Stacey, the daughter lost for over 20 years who had recently been found by the Carter family. After meeting the Carter family, she had changed her name from Rebecca to Stacey.
So why did Becky change her name? Was she ungrateful to the family that adopted her? The bloggers began to dig into the story of the Mitchell family.
The well–known blogger shared serialized essays, and Stacey opened the next short piece. In this essay, the blogger detailed how the Mitchell family adopted her and later bullied and mistreated her after having their biological daughter.
The former nanny of the Mitchell family testified that they often beat and scolded young Becky, sometimes withholding food and even depriving her of a warm blanket during winter, making her shiver and fall ill repeatedly.
