Chapter 1683 Do You Have A Misunderstanding About Me

Alison's nose twitched.

She had never cared for being one of the Closes and preferred to be Tracy, the child who grew up in
the orphanage and took the surname of the orphanage director. But at this moment, she knew that her
cold heart warmed up.

"I'm going to get some water."

Alison turned around in a hurry and took the opportunity to wipe away the tears from the corners of her
eyes.

Seeing his daughter like this, Clark didn't feel good either, but that was how the tradition of the Close
family was. So many people had worked for the ancestors' teachings of the Close family for their
lifetime, and no one would be willing to give up on it.

But Alison was his daughter.

She did not grow up in the Close family, and why should he ask her to carry on the ancestors'
teachings of the Close family?

Alison didn't know what was going through Clark's mind right now, but she couldn't stay here any
longer. So she hurried out of the room but met Ebby at the door.

"Alison, the results are out."

Ebby said kindly.

Alison didn't feel anything.



After all, it was already an established fact that she was a descendant of the Close family. She could
not change her bloodline, so even if Ebby took ten more paternity tests, the result would still be the
same.

She took the paternity report from Ebby's hand, but threw it into the trash without looking at it, then
walked away.

"Alison, do you have a misunderstanding about me?"

Ebby looked at Alison and seemed a little anxious.

Alison, however, didn't say anything and just stared at her coldly, as if she was looking at a stranger.

Ebby instantly felt terrible.

"Alison, you have to understand that I am doing this all just in case. People on the outside are checking
out the Close family pretty hard right now, and you used to be a member of military, so ..."

"Then wouldn't it be better if you just arrested me?"

Alison said coldly.

Ebby froze for a moment.

Through Alison's cold eyes, it was as if she saw her ex-husband.

Her ex-husband had looked at her with the same look after he knew who she was and what she had
done.

It was as if all those years of their love were fake and all gone overnight.

Ebby's heart ached.



"Alison, we're family. Do you have to talk to me like that? There's no deep hatred between me and you,
right?"

Hearing Ebby say this, Alison suddenly smiled and said in a low voice, "Ebby, I suppose to call you
Aunt. But don't you really have any complaints at all about the Close family after all these years of your
hard work? I heard that you abandoned your husband for the Close family. You even left your child
unattended and scalded to death in a hot tub because you were so busy with affairs of the Close family
just a few months after giving birth. As a mother, weren't you upset at all?"

"Alison!"

Ebby's eyes were red, and even as her body tensed up.

The child was the deepest pain in Ebby's heart.

If it wasn't for the child, perhaps she and her husband wouldn't have turned against each other.

But she didn't want it either.

Her son was just seven months old, and she could still recall his sweet, smiling face. She could even
hear her son's cries every night.

She was only out for a short while and her son fell into the hot tub and died.

She could barely remember why she was boiling a pool of hot water at the time. Later, she
remembered that it was to bathe her son.

Everyone in the Close family knew that this was a taboo for Ebby and no one dared to mention it. But
Alison mentioned it and in front of Ebby.

If she wasn't her brother's long-lost daughter, Ebby would really kill her.



Alison, however, seemed not to see Ebby's pain and sorrow, and said with a cold smile, "What? You
can't stand it anymore? Why did you guys leave Country Z back then and how did I get lost? Everyone
didn't talk to me. What about you? You do know, don't you? You said you lost me on the move, so why
didn't you say you lost me because there were pursuers behind you and my mother was weak and
entrusted me to you, but you left me alone in front of the supermarket to stop the pursuers? How old
was I then? Three years old? Or four? Or a little younger? You were deliberately close to me after you
knew I was Clark's daughter. Was it really because of affection? Or do you think you lost me and that's
why you feel guilty now?"

"Alison, you ..."

Ebby froze.

How could Alison know about what happened back then, which she had kept from everyone?

Even her brother and sister-in-law thought that Alison had wandered off on her own, but Alison could
actually tell the details so clearly. She couldn't help but be a little stunned.

But after being exposed, Ebby felt a lot more relaxed instead.

"Yes, I lost you back then, and I didn't dare to tell the truth to my brother and sister-in-law. At that time, I
didn't really want to stop the pursuers, but just wanted to go back and see my child, even if it was just
to spend some time at his grave. Because I knew I would never be able to return after I left. And if I
took you with me, I would attract a lot of attention and you might not be safe, so that's why I left you in
front of the supermarket. I thought I'd be back soon, and I instructed you to wait for me."

"I'm a three-year-old child. What could I understand? Waiting for you? How long have you been gone?
Even if I wanted to wait for you, what if there were traffickers? Would they have abducted me? Do you
have any idea what I've been through? If you couldn't protect me, why did you promise my parents to
take me away? And if you promised, why did you go off and do your own thing halfway through? Ebby,



you are not a good mother to your son and you are not a good aunt to me. Are you going to tell me that
you've been running around all these years looking for me? Are you trying to help my parents find me
or are you trying to ease the guilt in your heart? In fact, this is all just an excuse for you. You traveled
from country to country selling arms and amassing wealth, but under the guise of searching for me only
to make my parents grateful to you and thus espouse your position in the Close family. How can you be
so shameless?"

Every word of Alison's was so unrelenting that it directly tore through Ebby's hypocrisy on the surface
and exposed the darkest part of her heart to the sunlight, which immediately made Ebby frown.

She felt that Alison was too hostile towards her.

But it was true that she had lost Alison back then. She owed her that!

"Alison, no matter what you say, it's good that you're back now. I'll make it up to you later."

"How can you make it up? Do you know what I've been through since I was abducted back then?"

Alison's eyes deepened as she saw a woman behind her hiding quickly, and the familiar shirts caused
tears to well up in her eyes.
