"Dad!"
"If I say she's adopted, will people believe it?"
The old master replied, but the identity of an illegitimate daughter is unfair to Serena Sullivan.
If it weren't for the incident with The Ford Family back then, Claire Sullivan would definitely have married Simon Sterling, but there's no "if."
"This matter is decided." Not giving James Sterling a chance to resist, the old master directly had him seized and sent to the police station to resolve the household registration issue.
James had heard of people being forced to accept a mistress, but never of being forced to accept a daughter.
The whole situation was indeed strange. If the old master really liked a girl he picked up, he could have adopted her as a goddaughter, but insisting she's an illegitimate daughter is just causing trouble!
The old master finished handling the matter of recognition with James and returned to the ward.
Serena Sullivan sat in her wheelchair looking out the window.
