Everyone’s gaze fell on Annalise. Some were shocked, some were surprised, some were in disbelief, some were enyious, some were jealous, and some were envious… Some gave their blessings, such as Lianne. Some were gratified, such as Sybil. Some gave congratulatory messages, such as Trevor and Henry. Many people whispered to each other. “Annalise is popular recently. It generates more news than a popular celebrity. There were so many talks about her.”
“That’s right. First, she is Master Quigley’s proud disciple, and now it was announced that she’s Mr. Xander’s daughter. No wonder she is so beautiful and has such a good temperament?” “I feel like I’m dreaming. I can’t believe this is happening.” “Don’t say that. Annalise does bear slight similarity to Mr. Xander.” “She’s my biological daughter. She looks like me for sure!” “Are you kidding me? For a wealthy family to acknowledge a child, they must have done a DNA test. How can it be fake?”
“Julian’s good at making choices. When he first got married, I thought he must be blind. He married an uneducated woman from the countryside. Now, I realize that he’s amazing. He can pick out an unpolished jade from a pile of rocks at just a glance.” When Nancy saw Annalise being the center of attention, the disparity in her heart increased. She did not believe that was true. Seeing Sybil standing not far away, she immediately went over and asked softly, “Aunt, is this true?” “It’s true,” Sybil said.
Synil would support any decision her brother made. Whether it was true or not, everything was for the best as long as Lee had faith in his heart. Nancy bit her lip subconsciously. Sybil turned to look at Nancy, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?” How could that be? I was just a little surprised.

“Yeah, I will,” Nancy replied. On the stage. Annalise had gone up the stage. Lee’s eyes were filled with affection. He handed the microphone to Annalise and said gently, “Annalise, come. Say a few words to everyone.” Annalise took the microphone and said, “I’m not good with words of gratitude. Anyway, thank you, everyone. Thank you for everything!” Below the stage, Julian smiled dotingly.
No matter how she looked, he felt that she was very cute. Trevor looked at the scene on the stage and was slightly moved. Family members were always the closest and warmest. Lee looked at Annalise with a doting smile. He took the microphone from her and said, Thank you again!” Lee held the microphone and bowed slightly on stage.
Then, he handed the microphone to the host and walked off the stage with Annalise. As soon as Annalise left the stage, many people tried to talk to her. “Hello, Ms. Xander. I’m Jill Selley!” “Hello, Anna. I’m Jenny Jackson!” Julian was already waiting below the stage. As soon as Annalise got off the stage, he came over to protect her and led her away.
If someone tried to come close, he would give a cold attitude so that no one would disturb Annalise. When Annalise saw Julian acting that way, she smiled and whispered to Julian, “You look so cool and handsome acting like this!” Julian’s gaze instantly became fervent. He whispered into her ear, “Don’t flirt with me. I won’t be able to control myself at night.” “Haha!” Annalise laughed. She knew him well. She was pregnant. No
Lee did not know what Annalise and Julian were talking about. But, when he saw Annalise smiling happily, he could not help but smile. It was as if he could see Heather and him through them. Unfortunately, his relationship with Heather was short-lived. He hoped that Annalise and Julian could live happily together for a long time. “Mr. Xander, Old Mr. Xander wants to see you.” The butler hurried over to look for Lee.
Lee nodded slightly and said to Annalise, “Annalise, please eat something. Wait for me. I’ll be right back.” He would bring her to officially meet the members of the Xander family. “Okay,” Annalise replied. Mr. Xander followed the butler to meet his father, who was dozens of meters away. “Lee, what’s going on?” Old Mr. Xander looked very serious. He observed Annalise from afar, and his eyes filled with hatred. past, she disappeared suddenly to elope with someone.
If Heather had not suddenly eloped with someone back then, Lee would not lose his determination to fight on and would not be bedridden for 20 years. 20 years. Lee had spent the prime 20 years of his life in a hospital bed. When he thought of the past, he was furious. In that case, even if Heather gave birth to a daughter, she would not be Lee’s.
Lee saw that his father was looking at Annalise with hatred. His eyes darkened and he said, “Dad, no matter what kind of issues I have with Heather, Annalise is my biological daughter. It’s already negligent on my part not to protect and take care of her when she grew up. I hope that no one in the Xander family will treat her badly and make her sad from now on.” Old Mr. Xander’s tone became even more serious. “How could she be your biological daughter? You know very well that Heather had already cheated on you before your surgery,” “I’ve done the DNA test. Annalise is my biological daughter.” Lee looked at his father. rival’s daughter?”
Old Mr. Xander showed some uncertainty. “Is she your biological daughter?” Old Mr. Xander knew Lee well. Lee would not tolerate any wrongdoings. “Yes!” Lee said firmly. “There’s nothing wrong with the report?” Old Mr. Xander still did not believe it. Lee asked, “Dad, do you think I’m easy to fool?” Who could fool him if he was unwilling to be fooled?
Mr. Xander frowned. “She doesn’t look like Heather at all.” If they looked alike, they would have recognized each other when they first met at Samuel’s birthday banquet. “She looks like me!” Lee said. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Annalise bore at least 70% similarity to Heather. Otherwise, he would not have recognized her at a glance. Other people could not recognize the similarity because when he brought Annalise back to the Xander family, Heather already Heather was very fat. Although she was still cute in his eyes, her appearance had changed. She was different from when she was thin.
When Old Mr. Xander heard that Annalise looked like Lee, he frowned again. He looked at Lee and thought about Annalise’s appearance. She had a slight similarity to Lee. His expression softened. “If
she’s your daughter, you have to acknowledge her.” No matter how ridiculous Heather was back then, the Xander family bloodline had to be recognized.
“I just did the public acknowledgment,” Lee said. “Yes, let’s arrange a family dinner for her. She has to know her family. Let’s arrange a room for her at the Xander’s residence. She can stay near my place, ” Old Mr. Xander said. “Dad, there’s no need. She can stay at my place. We haven’t seen each other for 20 years. We need to build our relationship,” Lee said.
