Outcast Queen: Her Return from Hell novel Chapter 345

"Are you absolutely sure about this, Vanessa? Are you really willing to swallow all this humiliation just for him?"

"Yes!" Vanessa lifted her chin, her eyes filled with unwavering conviction, playing the part of the ultimate martyr. "To save this family, I'm willing to give everything!"

Hearing this, Phoenix's lips curled into an incredibly vicious smirk. She opened her mouth and dropped a bombshell: "Is that so? Even though Warren has been having an affair behind your back for years? Even knowing that Phoebe... is actually his biological daughter?"

"!!!"

Boom!

The words detonated in Vanessa's mind like a massive explosive, leaving her ears ringing and her vision spinning. It felt as if her entire world had collapsed in a fraction of a second.

"Phoenix, what kind of absolute garbage are you spouting?!" Warren's face drained of color, and he began roaring in a panicked frenzy, like a man whose darkest secret had just been exposed. "How could Phoebe possibly be my flesh and blood?! She's just an adopted daughter!!"

"Did you honestly think the rest of the world was as stupid as Vanessa? Did you think you could just spin a few lies and fool everyone?" Phoenix sneered, every word striking like a dagger. "Even the most carefully groomed adopted daughter is still an outsider. But your favoritism toward Phoebe crossed the line a long time ago."

She pressed forward aggressively, ripping away his hypocritical disguise. "No matter how massive a disaster Phoebe caused, no matter how profoundly stupid her mistakes were, you always bailed her out without a second thought. You even trampled your own biological daughter into the dirt for her. There is only one explanation for a man going to such insane lengths—Phoebe isn't some random orphan. She's your illegitimate daughter!"

"Shut up! Shut your mouth!!!" Warren completely snapped, screaming frantically like a cornered beast. "Phoenix, you bitch, shut your mouth!"

His eyes nearly bulged out of his head as he lunged forward, claws bared, ready to tear Phoenix apart. But before he could even reach the table, several black-clad bodyguards materialized from the shadows, instantly pinning him to the floor.

"Warren... is it true?" In the dead silence, Vanessa's trembling voice floated through the air.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at the husband she had shared a bed with for decades, looking at him as if he were a repulsive stranger. "Is Phoebe... really your bastard daughter?!"

"Honey, don't listen to her!" Warren yelled desperately, panic consuming him. "It's a smear campaign! She's trying to drive us apart and destroy our family!"

"If you think it's a lie, just look at this." Phoenix casually tossed a file onto the coffee table.

Before Warren could even attempt to snatch it, Vanessa had already grabbed the document. As soon as her eyes landed on the words 'DNA Paternity Test' on the cover, the room began to spin.

Flipping to the final page, the glaring conclusion—'Paternity Confirmed'—slammed into her chest like a sledgehammer. Her vision went black, and she nearly collapsed.

"Hahaha..." Vanessa suddenly began laughing hysterically, her entire body shaking. "All these years, I tormented my own flesh and blood for the sake of an illegitimate daughter! I'm a monster! I'm an absolute monster!"
