Chapter 271
Alexander frowned and looked at Carl, asking, “Didn’t you say that Mrs. Landor volunteered to donate blood? Isn’t she your biological daughter? Why would you want to harm her?”
No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t make sense.
Carl’s face turned pale.
He stammered, “I… I treated Yana and Susan as my own daughters. This time, I pleaded with her to donate blood for Yana, but she refused. I was really worried about Yana, so I forcibly brought her to the hospital.”
Alexander stared at him sternly, saying, “Even if you can explain that, why did you still try to harm her?”
Why?
Of course, it was because he was afraid of the exposure of the fake princess!
But he didn’t know how to explain this.
Carl looked at Jane and Yana with a despairing look.
Jane said anxiously, “Misunderstanding, Mr. Nicholas, it’s all a misunderstanding. Carl, he would never kill anyone. It must be a misunderstanding.”
She kept saying it was a misunderstanding but couldn’t provide any valid reasons.
Everyone knows that it was simply impossible.
From the beginning, Carl wanted to take Susan’s life.
Yana had just given birth and was already weak.
At this moment, as she saw Carl unable to speak under interrogation, her face grew even paler.
Yana suddenly had a severe coughing fit.
“Yana, are you alright?” Jane rushed over first.

Yana coughed intensely a few times and then, with an exhausted expression, said, “Dad, everything is my fault. I was not capable enough and almost caused a great mistake for your sake.”
Yana looked at Alexander again, “Mr. Nicholas, you saw it today. This Mr. Landor might be my brother–in–law, but in reality, he is not someone easy to get along with, and my sister is not someone easy to get along with, either.”
Alexander furrowed his brow.
He didn’t know what happened.
Although he knew Yana was likely his daughter, he simply didn’t feel any closeness to her.
Yana didn’t notice this and softly said, “You may not know, but I’ve been seriously ill since I was young and needed my sister to donate blood to me. However, every time she did it, she did so begrudgingly. Because of this, she harbored resentment towards me, my dad, and my mom. After marrying Ben, she became even more vindictive and sought to retaliate against us at every opportunity.”
Judith listened and, for some reason, felt unhappy.
She only saw Susan’s back, but her intuition told her that Susan couldn’t be the person described by Yana.
As Yana continued speaking, her eyes turned red. “That’s not all. Do you know why I gave birth alone while the father of my child is nowhere to be seen?”
Yana wiped her tears. “He’s dead. And the last person he saw before he died was my sister. My husband, gone just like that, and I wanted the truth, but because Ben wields so much power, I can’t get any answers.”
“Yana, stop talking. After all, Susan is still your sister,” Carl understood and sighed, a hint of pain in his eyes.
Ben listened quietly as this family fabricated their story.
He was curious about how they would continue to spin their tale.
“Dad,” Yana cried, saying, “Susan doesn’t want to help with the blood transfusion. Just let her be. How could you knock her out just to save me? And how could you be so afraid of possible revenge that you would do such a thing out of a momentary lapse of judgment?”
Carl now fully understood Yana’s meaning. He wiped away his tears and said with a pained expression, “I admit that I made a mistake in this matter, and I never expected to lose my senses like that. When I went to beg Susan

to save Yana, she refused and even said some words wishing for Yana’s death. I got angry and said I would tie her up at the hospital. She arrogantly said that if I dared to do that, when she was free, our family would be destroyed.”
Carl felt even more anguish. “Although she is my daughter, she has always been ruthless and cruel since she was young. I know that if she said something like that, she will most likely follow through. I… had no other choice but to save Yana, but I was genuinely afraid of her waking up. In a moment of madness, I did such a thing. Now, I realize I deserved it. After all, she is my flesh and blood. Even if she wants my and Yana’s lives, I cannot harm my own family.”
As he spoke, Carl covered his face and began to cry.
“Carl,” Jane cried and ran to his side.
The two of them cried with their heads in their hands.
Yana said painfully, “Mom, Dad, it’s all because of my illness that has caused you and Susan to become enemies. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s me. I shouldn’t… be living in this world.”
Yana said as she used her head to hit the crib’s railing.
Judith couldn’t bear to watch and pulled her away.
Yana then leaned on Judith’s shoulder and cried, her voice filled with sorrow, saying, “It’s because of you all that I ended up wandering into the Miller family and led to today’s tragedy. Now you can disown me if you want, but Mom and Dad are the best to me. If something happens to them, how can I go on living?”
Yana’s face turned pale as she sobbed.
Judith couldn’t help but soften her heart.
Just then, applause rang out.
The family of three stopped crying and looked at Ben.
Ben calmly said, “What are you all looking at? I just think that the performance you put on was quite impressive.
I can provide funds for you to attend film school and further your education. Who knows, maybe you’ll bring glory to our country and win several international awards.”

Carl couldn’t hold back his displeasure. “Mr. Landor, what exactly do
you mean?”

Ben casually replied, “You constantly talk about how Susan holds a grudge against you and how you want revenge. So I’m curious, with my current status, how can you easily come up with 2 million dollars to bribe people?”
Het
He took a step forward.
Carl subconsciously took a step back.
Ben stared at him, revealing a few teeth. “Carl, do you want to know what real revenge is like?”
Carl instantly felt like he was being stared down by a wild beast, and his body involuntarily froze.
“Do you want to know?” Ben laughed and suddenly made a phone call. He casually said, “How is Skyrock Group doing now? Stock prices still falling? Go ahead, add fuel to the fire. Let this company go bankrupt.”
Carl’s heart sank. “You…”
Ben ignored him and made another phone call. “Inform everyone that anyone who cooperates with Carl will become my enemy. Also, release all the evidence of Miller Group’s tax evasion that was discovered before. Furthermore, find people to devalue all the Miller family’s properties. Without my permission, no one can buy
them.”
Ben made these two phone calls in front of everyone.
