Delayed Regrets: He Regretted Only After Her Death-Chapter 100: I Want to See Tiana

The sound at the door made Vivian Linden jump.

With a loud crash.

The glass in her hand fell to the ground.

Shards of glass splattered, cutting the fair and delicate skin on Vivian’s calf beneath her hem.

Blood oozed out.

Yet Vivian didn’t notice at all.

Her heart skipped a beat out of fear, panicking as she looked at Daniel Linden and James Linden pushing the door open and coming in.

The father and son couldn’t believe their eyes as they looked at Vivian.

James Linden walked in slowly.

His eyes held too much disappointment, shock, disbelief, and deep pain.

"Vivian, Aiden Grant was right."

"You were afraid to do a paternity test with me, and indeed, you swapped the cup to be tested."

He stepped closer to the table where Vivian was.

An old man whose bones were about to collapse.

Even his voice sounded like it was about to collapse:

"Vivian, years ago, did you swap out the paternity test between Tiana and me the same way?"

"Did you use the same trick on Daisy?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He couldn’t believe this was real.

Clearly, his Vivian was so obedient, sweet, understanding, considerate.

However, just moments ago, Vivian swapped out the cup meant for the DNA test.

The trust James Linden had in Vivian for years suddenly crumbled.

It wasn’t just the father-daughter trust that collapsed, but also the paternal love he had upheld.

He trusted Vivian so much.

Vivian was raised outside from a young age, and he owed her so much.

To make up to Vivian.

His affection for Vivian almost exceeded that for the daughter he raised from young, Tiana.

But this father-daughter relationship turned out to be fake in the end?

Fake, fake!!

Hahaha... James Linden burst into a low, maniacal laugh.

This laughter made Vivian suddenly burst into tears.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She blinked hard.

Tears fell.

"Dad, how can you wrong me like this?"

"I was just curious when I saw the box, thinking it was a gift from you, and just wanted to take it out for a look."

The collapse of trust wasn’t just with James Linden.

Also with Daniel Linden, whose forehead was tightly furrowed beside him.

He supported James Linden, who was about to faint with anger, looking at Vivian with extreme disappointment.

"Vivian, then why did you swap the cups inside?"

"If it wasn’t out of guilt, why did you swap it?"

"And, did you indeed install a listening device in the amulets you gave me, Dad, and Aiden Grant?"

"So that’s why you knew Dad wanted to do a paternity test with you."

"So you swapped out the cup with your saliva on it."

Daniel Linden was deeply disappointed.

For Vivian, he had forced his most beloved sister, Tiana, time and again.

To fulfill Vivian and Aiden Grant, he even sent Tiana to Harvey Patton, that bastard’s bed.

Catastrophic doesn’t suffice to describe his mood now.

Slap!

A slap landed Vivian on the table.

Vivian got up, covering her burning cheeks, tears streaming, "Brother, you’re slandering me. I was just curious and came to see."

"Still making excuses!"

Slap!

Another slap.

Daniel Linden’s palm turned red.

The pain was in his palm, but even more in his heart.

He had deeply hurt his most dear sister over such a scheming woman.

At this moment, Aiden Grant walked in from outside.

"Do you believe what I said now?"

His gaze fell coldly on Vivian.

He grabbed Vivian’s collar, mercilessly pulling her up.

"Aiden Grant, you’re hurting me, let go."

That large hand showed no sign of letting go.

Instead, it tightened more.

Vivian’s collar was tightened.

She couldn’t catch her breath.

Her face flushed red.

But Aiden Grant didn’t have a shred of pity.

He threw her to the ground.

"You’re the one who stole the secrets."

"You’re the one impersonating the Linden family’s daughter."

"You’re the one who harmed Tiana."

"Vivian, how much good have you done, you’d better confess truthfully."

Vivian, lying on the ground, was still crying.

She was extremely frightened in her heart.

Today, the swapped cup for the DNA test was discovered on the spot.

It was impossible to argue her way out.

The entrance was already crowded with servants from the Linden Family.

Just like a few days ago when Tiana suddenly returned to the Linden Family.

If she admitted that she did all of this, she would truly be finished.

But they had no substantial evidence.

She would not admit it.

She tearfully crawled up.

Looked aggrievedly at the three people in the study.

"Dad..."

James Linden was so angry he could almost throw up blood, "Don’t call me dad."

"Bro!" She looked aggrievedly at Daniel Linden.

Daniel Linden wanted to strangle her and send her directly to oblivion.

He gritted his teeth, "I’m not your brother."

Tears fell from Vivian Linden’s eyes, one after another.

She cried and sobbed.

Her delicate body was about to faint from crying.

If it were the past, James Linden and Daniel Linden would have felt heartbroken already.

Today, the two were indifferent.

James Linden then realized that each time in the past, Vivian Linden used this trick to make him soften his heart towards her.

She cried and said others mocked her for being an illegitimate child.

He considered no one’s feelings, not even Tiana’s, and brought her back to the Linden Family.

James Linden shouted, "Don’t cry in front of me, if you want to cry, cry outside."

At this time, Sharon Sullivan hurriedly squeezed in from the outside.

She saw the odd expressions on everyone’s faces.

She deliberately asked, "Mr. Linden, what’s going on here?"

"Sharon Sullivan, I ask you, whose daughter is Vivian Linden?" James Linden’s anger was stuck in his chest.

He was about to die of anger!

Wails echoed.

Sharon Sullivan immediately cried out in grievance.

"James Linden, you heartless man."

"I’ve followed you without a name or share for so many years, and Vivian has been despised since she was little."

"Our mother and daughter suffer so much, and you doubt us."

"I don’t want to live."

As she spoke, Sharon Sullivan banged her head against the wall.

A loud thud.

Directly fell.

"Mom, mom, don’t scare me."

Vivian Linden rushed over, holding Sharon Sullivan whose forehead was bleeding.

In panic, she looked up at the unmoved James Linden, pleading, "Dad, call the ambulance, dad, I beg you, call the ambulance."

...

In the hospital, Sharon Sullivan lay alone on the bed.

When she woke up, only Vivian Linden was with her.

Hiss... her forehead hurt while trying to get up.

Vivian Linden quickly stuffed a pillow behind her, "Mom, don’t move, you broke the glass at home, your forehead is hurt, it took more than ten stitches."

Sharon Sullivan asked, "Where’s your dad?"

Vivian Linden choked, "He didn’t come, mom, are we going to be kicked out of the Linden Family this time?"

"Don’t panic, mom will think of a way."

As she spoke, Sharon Sullivan gestured at her daughter.

After a while, Vivian Linden understood that her mom wanted paper and pen.

After getting paper and pen, Sharon Sullivan wrote:

Don’t speak, afraid James Linden might also have surveillance.

From now on, listen to me.

No matter what they say, deny until the end.

After all, they have no substantial evidence.

We still have a chance to turn the situation around.

Starting now, retreat to advance.

...

Star River Bay, Tranquil Villa.

James Linden had been sitting on the sofa all day.

Not eating or drinking, just sitting there dazed.

What he had been guarding was completely collapsing.

Though it couldn’t be proven now, Vivian Linden was likely not his biological daughter.

For such a scheming girl, he sent his beloved daughter to prison.

"Dad, please eat something." Daniel Linden feared for his health, urging him repeatedly with food and drinks nearby.

Actually, he hadn’t eaten much all day either.

James Linden pounded his chest, hating himself for being muddle-headed.

"Daniel, do you know where Tiana is now, how can I contact Tiana?"

Daniel Linden shook his head despondently.

He didn’t know where Tiana was.

"Quick, find Aiden Grant, he surely knows where Tiana is, I want to see Tiana."
