A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 219

Emily's identity as Mr. and Mrs. Tao's daughter had set the Internet on fire, gathering the attention of all netizens.

"Wow! How can that be? The news of Emily's dating Jacob alone was enough to make me envious, and now with her parentage she'll become a hot sensation on the Internet again!"

"She is so lucky! Now the ugly duckling has transformed into a lovely swan. Soon she will marry Jacob and unite two of the most powerful families in the city!"

"Oh! How I envy her!"

"..."

As a matter of fact, Abbott was deliberately spreading the news so as to put pressure on Jacob. 'Jacob will not be able to keep Emily at his home, ' Abbott thought wisely, 'when everyone else learns that Emily is my daughter.'

To some extent, Abbott had succeeded in getting what he wanted. Although, Jacob tried hard to keep the secret from Emily, the news still found its way to Emily's ears.

The moment Emily heard the news, her mind got muddled completely.

'What does Mr. Tao mean by making that declaration? "Emily"? Is there another "Emily" in Jingshi City? No... It can't be me!'

While still in a state of both shock and doubt, Emily suddenly got a call from Bess, who at last managed to bypass Jacob.

Staring at the number, puzzled, Emily accidentally answered the call, and a female voice came from the other end of the phone, at once.

"Hello. Is that you Emily? This is...I..." The voice on the phone sounded, cautious, as if she was nervous of speaking with Emily.

"I know who you are, Mrs. Bess," Emily said, trying to make her voice sound calm, even though she was biting her lips tightly. "What can I do for you?" asked Emily.

Bess's voice paused for a while before she continued, "Have you read the news?"

"... Yes," answered Emily.

"It is true. You are my daughter. I know that we owe you an explanation for all of these years, but..." Bess said, as her voice trembled. However, as she went on, her voice turned softer and gentler like a cool breeze.

Bess's words, however, did not register on Emily's mind, because Emily was completely floored when she heard that she was Bess's daughter.

In truth, Emily, at first, was very sceptical about what was written in the news. However, when she heard Bess's words on the phone, she had no choice but to accept the truth.

But she was still confused.

Debby had told Emily that she was an orphan they had adopted and there was no clue of her birth parents. 'How could I became the daughter to Bess and Abbott almost overnight?' wondered Emily.

But then again, she took into consideration the fact that, no one would make a joke about a noble family.

'If Abbott and Bess are my birth parents, then Tina must be the daughter of Debby, ' Emily thought, 'and this could only be explained by the fact that I was exchanged for Tina when we were born.'

With this conclusion, Emily realized that she was fooled by another one of Debby's lies.

"Do you have any proof?" asked Emily, as she interrupted Bess. Emily took a deep breath. All this was a little too overwhelming for her casual evening.

Somewhat guilt-ridden, Bess answered, "We have the results from a DNA paternity test. Do you want to read the report?"

Instead of answering Bess directly, Emily threw another question to Bess in an inquisitive tone as she asked, "Was it made on the day you drew my blood to save Tina's life?"

"... Yes. But if we hadn't drawn your blood, we would not have found out about the truth. I know you have suffered a lot, and it was all your adoptive mother's fault! Oh, I can't explain everything to you in just a few words. Emily, I wish to see you again, may I?"

However, there was no answer from the other end of the line.
