?<strong>Chapter 667:</strong>


    Susan, equally stunned, stood frozen. Although she had prepared herself for this moment, the truth still unsettled her. She realized just how far Mara had gone in her attempt to secure her marriage to Esteban—stooping so low as to falsely im Jada as his child.


    A flicker of sympathy for Esteban washed over Susan. “Call the police! They should arrest Jada!” Estebanmanded, his voice cold and resolute.


    Dane nodded in agreement immediately.


    Panic overtook Mara as she dropped to her knees, her voice breaking with desperation. “No, I’ll take Jada and leave! I’ll divorce you. Just don’t get her arrested!”


    She believed that with Jada’s looks and talents, she could easily find a wealthy suitor elsewhere, ensuring their lives wouldn’t be so miserable. But if Jada ended up with a criminal record, it would truly ruin her future.


    Jada, who had been lost in a haze, suddenly snapped back to reality. She rushed to the bedside, tears streaming down her face as she cried, “Dad, I’ve always thought of you as my father! I didn’t know I wasn’t your daughter. This has nothing to do with me!”


    A surge of rage red within Jada, directed squarely at Mara.


    Madisyn’s voice wasden with significance as she asked, “Did Esteban do anything wrong? Why did Esteban have to raise a daughter who isn’t his own?”


    Jada spun around to face Mara, her expression fierce. “It’s all her fault, Dad! She’s the one who’s been evil, the one who taught me those dishonest ways. I promise I’ll stay by your side and learn from you. I’ll never do anything immoral again!”


    Everyone was left speechless by her words. In such a crucial moment, Jada was ready to cast aside her own mother.


    Mara was equally taken aback, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, she pped her own face hard. “It’s all my fault. Esteban, I’ll divorce you. Jada is innocent! I’ll leave after the divorce. You’ve watched Jada grow up; she’s no different from your own daughter!”


    Mara firmly believed that no man could ept being cheated on, nor would they want others to know. However, Esteban was clearly different.


    “Since Jada isn’t my daughter, why would I continue to keep her?” Esteban’s voice was cold. “Divorce is inevitable, and you must face the mess you’ve created. You also need to repay every penny I’ve spent on you!”


    Esteban felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He had indeed struggled with guilt over not raising Jada properly. As a father, he naturally felt responsible for her misdeeds. But now, that guilt was gone.


    Mara, on the other hand, was devastated. “Pay back the money? Where on earth would I find such funds?” she cried. “Esteban, are you trying to push me to my end? Would you really be happy if I died?” She banged her head against the wall, leaving a crimson streak behind her.


    Jada gasped in horror.
