"..."

For a long time, Conor did not dare to speak.

Wendy sniffed and continued, "Dad, I know that you must be more unwilling than anyone else to see the car accident happen. I just want to tell you that no matter what happened, I can only remember what you have done for me in the past more than 20 years."

"..."

"Dad, even if you were blamed for the car accident that happened to my biological parents, I will forgive you. I don't blame you, Dad. I really don't blame you at all."

"Wendy..." Conor suddenly choked with sobs and could no longer make a sound.

Wendy smiled and said in a solemn tone, "Dad, promise me one thing!"

"Go ahead." Conor choked with sobs and said word by word with difficulty, "As long as I can do it, I will promise you."

"You can do it." Wendy said seriously, "I want you to be my father forever. In the future, can we get on with each other in the same manner as before?"

In the end, Wendy asked a little cautiously. Just like Conor had been worried that she would not forgive him in the past 20 years, she was worried now.

Conor was already middle-aged. He had achieved success in his enterprise and was living a bright and perfect life in the eyes of others.

Now, the successful entrepreneur was choking with sobs on the call with his daughter.

"Okay, I promise you." After crying for a long time, Conor finally calmed down and said, "Wendy, thank you."

"It's me who should thank you." Wendy cried and laughed, "Dad, I am grateful to you and Mom for taking care of me for so many years."

If it weren't for Conor's kind decision to adopt her, she might have grown up in a welfare institution and would never have a chance to meet Gavin.

No matter what had happened in the past, it had passed. Some accidental mistakes could never be overturned but be made up for.

Conor tried his best to make up for it, so she had lived a carefree life for more than 20 years.

Now, she simply wanted to see the happiness and luck in front of her.

After chatting with Conor for a long time, Wendy hung up the phone, lowered her head, and shed tears silently.

Joanne handed Gavin a baby handkerchief. Tacitly, Gavin took it and helped Wendy wipe away her tears.

Freya, who was sitting on the sofa, subconsciously touched the corners of her eyes, and her fingertips were slightly wet.

Alas, the last time she was moved to cry was when she married Chris.

Wendy, this little girl, was really melting people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Freya couldn't help nudging Chris with her elbow. "Are you done with your business?"

Chris and Brian were dealing with their business.

"Almost," Chris said, "ten more minutes."

Just then, Wendy finally stopped crying. She raised her head and gave everyone a bright smile.

Dolly's face was covered with tears.

From the first day when Wendy was adopted, Conor had been very fond of her. Later, Wendy grew up day by day, and she had to be strict with her, lest Wendy became arrogant.

Conor would occasionally chat with her, thinking that she was too strict with their daughter.

He always said a little girl's requests should always be met, whatever they might be, so that she could find a man who really loved her when she grew up.

However, Dolly thought that no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they had to be strict with him or her. The kids must develop good character and excellent habits from a young age.

She had also asked Conor why he never asked for anything from his daughter.

Once, Conor finally revealed his idea and said, "Mostly, I'm afraid that Wendy will know her family background before graduating from college. If she refuses to forgive me, maybe she will never want to call me father again. I'll meet all her requirements while I'm still able. I hope that she'll come to see me occasionally after she's independent."

"Mom."

Wendy called Dolly and gave the phone back to her.

Dolly came back from her thoughts and took the phone with a pleasing smile. "Your father finally doesn't have to worry anymore. Wendy, thank you for forgiving us."

Wendy shook her head and said with a teary smile, "Mom, maybe we shouldn't have hidden anything from each other at the beginning. From now on, we cannot hide anything from each other, okay?"

Dolly had planned to promise Wendy, but upon remembering Gavin's illness, she paused. She looked at Gavin and nodded. "Okay, I promise you."

Wendy had just calmed down, so she didn't notice anything wrong with Dolly. She pursed her lips and smiled.

"That's great. Everything has been solved."

She accepted her own family background. Also, she didn't blame Conor and Dolly, and Gavin didn't have to leave the company.

In the future, even if she and Gavin were wearing lover's clothes while going shopping, no one could have any objection to it, let alone lover's pajamas.

The plot of that guy surnamed Kang had been ruined. There should be the sound of firecrackers here!

Thinking of this, the twists and turns of her destiny were not simply frustrating.

Wendy seemed to suddenly think of something. "Mom, where are my... biological parents buried?"

"After the car accident, the police couldn't get in touch with any of their relatives. Your father buried them in a cemetery outside Sydney City." Dolly said, "Your father would worship them every year. Do you want to worship them?"

"Yeah," Wendy nodded and said.

Although she had no recollection of her biological parents, they were related by blood.

Now that she knew the truth, she should go to their graves at least once and tell them that Conor and Dolly had taken good care of her so that they could rest assured and forgive Conor.

If the car accident had not happened and her biological parents had brought her up, she would certainly have loved them.

However, the car accident changed everything. Although Conor was blamed for it, the person whom she had deeper feelings for was indeed Conor.

As for her biological parents, who gave birth to her, she wouldn't forget them. She would worship them every year, praying for their happiness in heaven.

"Okay." Dolly nodded. "When you return to Australia, just ask your father to take you to worship them."

Wendy pursed her lips, and finally, the bright smile returned to her white and delicate face.

Joanne breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, everything is settled."

Only then did Wendy find it strange. She looked at Dolly in confusion. "Mom, you just arrived in Arlington today. How did you hold a press conference early in the morning, even in the company of my cousin-in-law?"

Dolly said honestly, "Only when I received a call from Connell did I know that you and Gavin were in trouble. I asked the secretary to book the quickest flight for me. Next, I went home to find something and then rushed to the airport. Two minutes before I got on the plane, I just had time to call you. After the plane took off, I considered that holding a press conference was the best solution to clear your names, but I was not familiar with the domestic media, so I asked Brian for help."

Hearing Connell's name, Wendy and Gavin were both surprised.

Wendy asked Dolly in confusion, "Why would Connell call you?"

Dolly thought for a moment and guessed, "Connell must have learned from his father that you're not siblings. But realizing that I didn't tell you the truth, he didn't dare to reveal the truth without my approval, so he contacted me."

Wendy suddenly understood. No wonder that when Brian and Chris were at a loss, Connell called her early in the morning and said that he could help her.

It turned out that Young Master Wesley had long known the truth.

Gavin also suddenly understood why Connell had provoked him again and again. Connell had even taken the initiative to tell him that his relationship with Wendy was fake, and that Wendy liked him.

It turned out that Connell had been helping them and using all kinds of methods to get them together.

It was a pity that he was too sober and too timid at that time. He didn't dare to throw caution to the wind for the sake of Wendy.

Joanne looked at Gavin and said with a gloating look, "Well, you owe Connell a big favor."

"In addition to the favor, I still owe him a 'thank you'." With that, Gavin raised his eyebrows. "But I still don't like him."

Joanne couldn't help laughing and asked Brian, "Are you done?"

Brian closed the thin notebook and looked at Joanne. "It's done."

Wendy couldn't help being curious. "Cousin-in-law, what are you and Cousin doing?"

Joanne handed the tablet to Wendy and asked her to find the answer herself.

Wendy turned on the tablet and was surprised to find that more than half of the attacks on her and Gavin on the Internet had been deleted. A small number of people even apologized to her and Gavin concerning the topic.

But those were secondary. The most important thing was that the Public Relations Department of the Lambert Group had released a piece of evidence on the Internet.

It was revealed that the account that had first reported the incestuous relationship between Wendy and Gavin had the same IP address as the registered account of Blake.

What was even weirder was that a few days ago, Blake had come into contact with those Big Vs' who reposted the news.

If that was just a coincidence, the fact couldn't be explained as a coincidence that an additional sum of two or three million had been transferred to those Big Vs' bank accounts at the same time.

Everything came to light. It was all because Blake had a grudge against Wendy that she maliciously exposed the relationship between Wendy and Gavin and employed some people to attack and condemn Wendy.

This was also the reason why all the curses were concentrated on Wendy when the news were just revealed.

This was also the reason why all the curses were concentrated on Wendy when the news was just revealed.

Unfortunately, bitch Lin didn't expect that there was no blood relationship between Wendy and Gavin.

After the press conference this morning, Dolly reported the case to the police. The evidence that Lambert Group had released had been handed over to the police. At the moment, Blake and the several Big Vs who had reposted the news had been "invited" to the police station.

While Wendy was browsing through the news, more than seven-tenths of the attacks had been deleted and replaced by apologies and blessings from the netizens.

Wendy turned off the tablet computer and stopped reading.

It was the greatest luck for her to be able to stay with Gavin.

She didn't mind others' blessings or negative views on their love.

She only wanted Gavin to stay with her all the time.

Wendy smiled and looked back at Gavin behind her. "Gavin!"

She expected Gavin to respond to her with a smile as usual, but she saw him close his eyes tightly, with slightly knitted brows and a complicated expression...
