They Forged My DNA Test–Fine, I’m No Longer Your Daughter Chapter 08

Morn and Dad soon heard what Caelan had uncovered.

At first, they refused to believe it.

But after a full investigation, they had no choice but to accept the truth.

The accident, surgery, and years-long coma had all been staged.

Seraphine couldn’t stomach the grueling training expected of her.

So she bribed her doctor, and together they faked the entire coma.

Whenever Mom and Dad were away, she spent her time partying.

The moment her doctor warned her that family was coming to visit, she raced back to her

hospital room.

To protect the lie, the doctor claimed Seraphine was so fragile that no one could touch her or

get too close.

The millions of dollars the Valens had spent on her medical care went straight into the pockets of Seraphine and her doctor.

But when she learned Mom and Dad planned to give me a ten-percent share of the pack’s land

trust, she panicked.

She couldn’t keep pretending, so she staged a “miraculous recovery.”

Every lie she’d told came to light, including the truth about the necklace.

She had schemed so hard to drive me out, only to expose herself in the end.

Caelan severed their mate bond at once.

Dad flew into such a rage he nearly collapsed.

Mom sank onto the couch, numb and unable to face the truth.

Stellan personally took Seraphine to the pack’s strictest disciplinary academy.

Once the anger faded, all four of them were consumed by guilt.

Caelan transferred all of his personal assets to me.

Mom and Dad planned to give me everything they’d once promised, along with even more

compensation.

Stellan even offered to step aside and name me the pack’s heir.

But just before they left to find me, Seraphine repeatedly threatened to kill herself.

Their warped attachment to her made them choose her yet again.

They warned her to behave, and for a while, she did.

It didn’t last.

A month ago, Seraphine brought them a stack of photoshopped photos.

“I’ve been so worried about Elowen. I know how much you all miss her, so I hired someone to keep an eye on her.

“I never imagined she would do something like this.”

Seraphine was certain the photos would make them despise me and banish me from the pack.

Instead, she looked up into three pairs of furious eyes.

They exposed her lie on the spot.

I had never been the Valen family’s disgrace. She was.

Because Stellan had quietly assigned people to protect me from the day I left.

He knew where I went and what I did every day.

Everyone except Seraphine knew I did nothing but study and keep to myself.

Her fabricated proof exposed no one but herself.

None of it mattered to me anymore.

But Caelan and the Valens had kept track of me from a distance all this time.

Caelan had tried more than once to find me and apologize in person.

He wanted to place the deeds to his properties in my hands himself.

Each time, Stellan stopped hitn.

A trace of resentment crept into Caelan’s voice.

“Stellan wouldn’t let any of us bother you.

“He said you didn’t want to see us.

“But I truly believe we owe you a proper apology, face-to-face.”

“We should’ve made this right…”

I raised a hand and cut him off.

I met his gaze without a trace of warmth.

“He was right. I don’t want to see any of you.

“If you insist on apologizing and begging for forgiveness, say it to Elowen Valen’s death

certificate.”

Caelan’s face went still.

Past him, I saw the Valens slowly walking toward us.

Stellan was pale, exhaustion carved deep beneath his eyes.

“Elowen, is there truly no way to make this right?”

Mom and Dad looked years older.

They stared at me through tear-filled eyes.

“We were wrong from the very beginning.

“Our favoritism was unforgivable. Every part of this was our fault.

“Elowen, come home, and you can punish us however you want.

“Please come home with us.”

Once, I had wanted nothing more than to hear those words.

On countless lonely nights, I’d woken in tears from dreams of this exact apology.

But the old pain was gone.”

I had already left the past behind.

Now I was letting go of them too.

I looked at each of them without lingering on a single face.

My voice was calm, almost indifferent.

“Move. I have enrollment paperwork to finish.”

A new life waited ahead of me.

The people and pain behind me could stay there.

If they wanted to spend the rest of their lives trapped in guilt and regret, they were welcome to

Because it had nothing to do with me anymore.
