Chapter 256 The Truth Gradually Uncovers (Part Two)

Daniel walked towards the small kitchen and Molly followed him and went to the inner room. When she
entered the room, she saw Steven smoking at the corner. The room was full of smoke and it smelled
like tobacco everywhere. Sharon was sitting near the bed. She did not look well.

Steven and Sharon knew that Molly had come back. But they did not go out to greet her and had
instead waited quietly in the room.

"Molly," Sharon finally said,"come here."

Molly was engulfed by the serious atmosphere in the room. She walked uneasily towards Sharon. She
pulled Molly to her side. Molly looked at her in confusion and then looked towards Steven. She then
took out her phone and typed,"Did Dad lose money by gambling again?"

Sharon looked at the phone and then looked back at Molly.

"Why can't you speak?" asked Sharon worriedly. Molly was her daughter. No matter how unwilling she
was to face her ordinarily, Molly was still her daughter. Sharon asked,"Is there something that you are
not telling us?"

Molly shook her head with a smile. She typed,"It is only temporary. I ate something bad and hurt my
vocal cords. I went to see the doctor and he said that I shouldn't speak for a while. It will be fine later."

Seeing how calm Molly was about it, Sharon did not press the matter again even though she still
doubted if Molly was being honest.

Molly typed on the phone again,"Mom, what happened? Does Dad owe anyone money again ?"

Even if it was a case of gambling money, she was more than accustomed to it by now. It was like a
habit for her to make money for Steven.



"No," answered Sharon. She shook her head and stayed quiet for a while. Finally, she just said,"Ask
your father."

Molly looked at Steven in confusion.

Steven seemed a little angry. He twisted the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said,"Molly, I will take
you to see someone."

Molly looked at Steven with a frown. Steven looked serious. Molly typed onto her phone and showed it
to him,"Who?"

Steven was silent for a moment, and then said,"Rory Yan."

The moment Molly heard his name, she stood up quickly. The first thought on her mind was that she
would never go to see that man.

"Molly," Sharon said nervously,"Rory said that it was just a misunderstanding what had happened that
year. It was Donna Xue who had deliberately cheated him. Rory wants your custody back."

Molly looked at Sharon in disbelief. She wondered if it was April fool's day and if they were playing a
very bad joke on her.

"Rory found the DNA test sheet from that time and also got hold of the doctor who had done the test. It
turns out that Donna Xue had done something to forge the test," said Steven angrily. His eyes looked
saddened. He continued,"He has come here to get custody of you."

Molly listened to them quietly. She pressed her lips together. She hoped that they were joking.
Yesterday, when she had heard Brian saying that Steven might not be her biological father, she
pretended to be calm. But now, those same words were coming out of Steven. Even though she was
not Rory Yan's daughter, she was also not Steven's daughter any more.



Molly sniffled as sorrow struck her hard. She slightly raised her head up and held back the tears that
threatened to burst out. Her eyelashes quivered. She typed,"I am already twenty years old. I do not
need a guardian. I don't care who my father is anymore. Please don't involve me in your adult's game. I
am not a ball which can be rolled around wherever you want to. Have you ever cared about my
feelings?"

"Molly..." Steven started to say, but Molly grabbed her bag and turned around to run towards the door.

"Molly, I don't want to give you to Rory Yan,"

Sharon's voice came from behind Molly. Molly stopped as she was about to open the door. She did not
move, but she did not turn around either.

"Molly, Rory Yan threatened us. He said that if we don't give you up, he would upset our whole family."
Sharon's eyes turned red. She hated herself. She hated her cowardice. If she had not been raped by
Rory at that time, she would not have ended up with him and living under Donna Xue's torture.

She would have ended her own life if she had not given birth to Molly.

But later, when the DNA identification report had come out, she was kicked out of his home. At that
moment, everyone despised her. It was an insult which she had not forgotten until now.

If truth be told, she never liked Molly. Moreover, she hated her. If it hadn't been for Molly, she would
have killed herself at the time. She wouldn't have become a burden to Steven.

Molly slowly turned around. She looked at Sharon, who was crying now. Suddenly she felt as if the
woman she was looking at was not her mother but a stranger. She and her mom had never been close.
No matter who her father was, Sharon was still her mother. Ever since her childhood, Sharon had been
indifferent to her. She tried her best to please Becky and Donna Xue. At the same time, she also tried



to please Sharon. She did not dare make her angry because she was afraid that Sharon would
abandon her. After they had left Yan's family and had come to A city, Sharon married Steven. Steven
was Sharon's childhood sweetheart. And Molly had thought that this man was her real father. She was
thrilled about it. After all, Steven was always nice to her. He was such a good father and that was why
she was willing to hold up this home. No matter how much money he lost in gambling, she was willing
to pay off his debt. She even went as far as to being a plaything of Brian's. But in the end, Steven was
not even her real father. Sharon put her on the edge of abandonment again and again.
