Chapter 257
As soon as the plane was ready.
Alexander and Judith, with their luggage in tow, set off immediately.
When Penny returned home, dinner was already prepared, but Alexander and Judith were nowhere to be seen.
Penny asked a servant curiously, “Where are my parents?”
The servant hurriedly informed her, “Your Highness, the King and Queen have departed for Coraland.”
“Is it some official engagement?” Penny asked casually while taking a bite of her food.
The servant shook their head. “No, it’s a personal matter. The King mentioned that he received news about the missing princess, so they went to verify it. They might not return for several days.”
The missing princess?
Penny was stunned for a moment, then realization dawned on her.
The fork in her hand clattered onto the table.
“What’s wrong, Your Highness?” the servant asked, a bit anxious.
“It’s nothing,” Penny replied, masking her complex emotions. “The news about the missing princess is it about the one who disappeared years ago? There have been so many false alarms over the years. Aren’t my parents setting themselves up for disappointment again?”
The servant shook their head. “This time seems different. The King appeared to have received concrete information, otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the Queen with him.”
Penny pursed her lips.
Yes, her mother had been mentally fragile these past years. Though her father and brother had tirelessly searched for the lost daughter, they never dared to raise her mother’s hopes, fearing it would worsen her
condition.
Chapter 257
Given her father’s concern for her mother, his decision to take her along this time suggested that he might indeed have found the right person.
Penny’s expression became distant.
The real princess was coming back?
What would become of her, the substitute?
Collecting herself, Penny asked, “What about my brother? Does he know about this?”
The servant shook their head. “Mr. Landor hasn’t been home and is unaware of the situation.”
Penny nodded and lowered her gaze.
Eason would probably be overjoyed upon hearing the news.
She had seen firsthand how desperately this family had searched for their lost daughter.
And now, she was finally coming home.
Did that mean she, Penny, would lose her value?
Penny’s hands trembled slightly.
But what could she do?
Penny thought about the fortunate turn her life had taken thanks to the missing princess.
Now that the real princess was returning, she knew she should leave and be grateful for the time she had.
But Penny didn’t understand.
But deep down, Penny couldn’t help feeling a strong sense of injustice.
In Tonico.
At the testing center.

Chapter 257
Eason had been waiting at the door for days, full of hope for the results.
Only eight more hours, he would get the result.
Was Susan my sister?
Everything would be clear soon.
He had a gut feeling that this time, he wouldn’t be disappointed.
It was a long journey.
Alexander and Judith, traveling incognito on a private plane, were on their way to Tonico.
The Miller residence

Carl and Jane were nervously waiting for their arrival with Yana.
Carl reminded them again of their story.
“Remember! We picked up this child outside. At that time, the weather was very hot, and she was almost out of temperature. We saved her life by picking her up. This bracelet was also on the child at that time.”
Jane and Yana nodded nervously.
“The most important thing,” Carl said, looking at Yana, “You are that child. Do you understand, Yana?”
Yana clenched her teeth and nodded. “Don’t worry, Dad, I won’t give us away!”
“You don’t need to worry too much. The Nicholas family, feeling guilty about their biological daughter, will be too happy to see you to suspect anything,” Carl said calmly. “When they request a test, I’ll find a way to get some of Susan’s hair. Then our plan will be foolproof.”
Yana nodded, though a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. “Dad, why is Susan so lucky? Not only did she marry Ben Landor, but her father turns out to be the King of Tonico!”
Carl had explained Susan’s background to Yana the previous night.
Yana was shocked and envious.

Chapter 257
Finally, she understood why her parents had always favored her.
She had thought it was because of her illness.
But now she realized it was because Susan wasn’t her biological sister.
If Susan’s real family would have been worse off than the Miller family.
Yana might have been pleased.
But Susan’s biological father was the King of Tonico!
How can she be happy about that?

“What’s so good about her luck?” Jane held Yana’s hand. “Yana, you’re the lucky one now! Have you forgotten that you’re the princess of the Tonico!”
Carl said, “That’s right! You are the princess of Tonico. Remember this and don’t slip up.”
Yana nodded. “I understand.”
She subconsciously clenched her fists, still a little nervous.
She was about to meet the King and Queen of Tonico.
What sort of grand character were they?
Could their plan really fool them?
Yana wasn’t confident.
But she knew this was her only chance.
Her only chance to surpass Susan.
Her only chance for revenge for Timothy.

Carl immediately stood up and said, “They’re here. Let’s go to welcome them.”
Jane and Yana quickly followed.
At the Miller family’s doorstep.
Judith couldn’t stop wiping her tears as she looked at the Miller family’s mansion.

“Alexander, our daughter has been living in such a house? They don’t even have a decent–sized garden. How
hard her life must have been.”
The gatekeeper from the Miller family was speechless.
Emm.
f
If this kind of life was hard, what should people like them do.
Alexander, too, was wiping away tears. “Indeed. Such a small villa, they probably don’t even have fifty servants. Our daughter has suffered so much.”
Judith kept nodding, her tears unstoppable.
Alexander continued to comfort her.
The gatekeeper was speechless.
Listening to this conversation was infuriating. Could he think of a way to cover his ears?
What even more infuriating was that the way the two of them spoke, their mannerisms, and the way they spoke, actually didn’t seem to be incongruous at all.
Even if she felt that it was inappropriate, the row of nervous bodyguards behind them would teach her how to
behave.
Just who were these people?
The gatekeeper subconsciously tensed up.
At this moment, Carl, Jane, and Yana appeared to greet them.
Alexander and Judith’s gazes quickly swept over the three of them, and then they shot their gazes at Yana in
unison.
Alexander looked at Yana with slight surprise and bewilderment.
“Is… this my daughter?”
Why was her belly so big?
Judith looked at Yana’s face seriously.
She had fantasized about the scene of her meeting her daughter countless times.
She thought that they must have been connected by mother and daughter at that time. As soon as they met, they couldn’t help crying.
But looking at Yana.
Judith was a little confused.
