Chapter 544 WelcHAt that moment, a quiet stillness swept over the four young men of the Ginger family. A flicker of stunned confusion crossed each of their faces, subtle but unmistakable. This wasn't what they had expected.
They had braced themselves for it-for the possibility that this unknown girl might indeed be one of them. And if it turned out she truly shared their blood, then fine. That was Sienna's call to make. She would never abandon someone who belonged to the Ginger bloodline, no matter how unexpected or disruptive her arrival might be.
They would've accepted that.
And if she stayed out of the way, they could've easily pretended she didn't exist.
But this... this involved Jean.
The moment her nwas uttered, something inside them twisted.
It wasn't just shock-it was pain. And something else they couldn't yet name. Something colder. More bitter.
If this was the truth, then they would rather that girl had never cat all.
They didn't want the balance disrupted. They didn't want the Ginger family-the real Ginger family as they knew it-to change.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese past few years had been harmonious. Warm, even. They had learned to smile, to soften, to be brothers. But deep down, each of them knew that warmth had a single source.
Jean.
Their so-called gentleness had never cfrom smiraculous transformation. It wasn't about family. It wasn't about blood. It was about her.
Jean had made them human.
And now, everything that humanity had been built upon-her presence, her laughter, her place in their lives-was being questioned.
They didn't care if Jean was real or fake. What they cared about was her heart..
And what this revelation might do to it.
As if drawn by the sthought, all four men turned in unison and looked toward the second-floor window. Behind the glass, hidden from view, Jean saw them.
She didn't flinch.
From where she stood, she could see everything outside-every shift in expression, every flicker of their gaze. But they couldn't see her.
Their faces were hard, brows drawn, eyes shadowed with a kind of quiet fury. She couldn't tell what they were thinking. Were they struggling to accept that the sister they loved might not be theirs? Wondering how to feel about this stranger who claimed her place? Chapter 544 WelcHJean said nothing. Her expression didn't change.
And down in the hall, Sienna silently accepted the papers from Sarah's outstretched hands The room had fallen deathly quiet again, every breath held.
Though Sienna had already understood the truth in her heart, she still needed to see it-needed the final blow to land cleanly. She unfolded the documents with slow, deliberate care and read every line of the paternity reports.
There were no surprises.
The truth was laid bare.
Her expression didn't flicker, but her hands betrayed her. Her fingers trembled faintly, the paper rustling between them.
Sarah had cprepared. That much was clear.
It hadn't just been the painting-symbolic and bold-but the tests. Somewhere along the way, she had managed to get samples of hair or blood from both Sienna and Jean. She'd gone and done the tests on her own, with no one the wiser.
Smart girl.
Talented, too.
But as Sienna stood there, something tightened in her chest. Because Jean... Jean was brilliant too. Jean was capable, thoughtful, resilient. But more than that-Jean had always been good.
She was the kind of girl who used her strength to help others, never to push them down. The kind of girl who opened her heart without expecting anything in return.
Maybe that was why Sienna had always felt so drawn to her. Because Jean had never been manipulative. Never calculating. She wore her soul like glass-honest, clear, and warm.
The girl in front of her now... she was different! Not bad. But different.
There was calculation behind Sarah's eyes. Ambition in the way she moved.
And yet, the truth could not be denied.
This girl standing here-this stranger was her daughter by blood.
A daughter who had spent her life far away in a remote mountain village, lost and forgotten."
Sienna's heart was caught in a storm of conflicting emotions. Pain, guilt confusion. all of it tearing through her at once. How long she stood there in silence, even she didn't know.
But finally, she lifted her gaze and met Sarah's eyes.
Her voice was soft when it came, but steady.
