Chapter 226 The Last Person I Waited For
There was a moment of silence in the room.

The female journalist asked sharply, “You knew before me, why didn’t
Hazel asked, “Uncover what?”
didn’t you
you expose her?”
Compared to her stable emotions, the female journalist jumped up directly.
Her voice was filled with anger as she said, “Of course it was to expose Janet’s plot to gain wealth and harm others, and to steal her identity!”
“You were more capable than me, had a wider influence, and she even repeatedly slandered you. Why didn’t you want to take the initiative and directly deal with her?”
Facing the questioning of the female journalist, Hazel slightly raised her head and asked, “Are you questioning
me?”
The calm yet impossible–to–ignore aura from the person across made the female journalist’s heart tremble.
Her voice couldn’t help but weaken: “I just wanted to know where the real Emma is…”
The reason why Janet was able to replace Emma’s identity, apart from her later plastic surgery adjustments, was also because… Emma was her sister sent away by her parents!
She and Emma were biological sisters.
They resembled each other by about seventy to eighty percent in appearance.
As a result, she was able to achieve a similarity of ninety percent with Emma after fine–tuning.
And they were in a completely new environment of going to college, where the friends around them were all
strangers.
It is also impossible to tell whether this “Emma” is real or fake.
During her college years, she rarely went home.
During holidays and festivals, they always used part–time jobs as an excuse to avoid the possibility of going home.
The days passed by, and she managed to live peacefully under the identity of “Emma“.
These are all the pieces of information that Hazel saw from the materials.
As for the female journalist in front of me.
I used to be Emma’s high school classmate and also her best friend.
Hazel looked at her with a half–smile and said, “Margaret, Ms. Payne, do you really dare to know where she was?”
Margaret Payne, who was being watched by her, felt a little nervous.
She pretended not to understand: “Ms. Robinson, what does this mean?”
“Why didn’t I dare to know where she was? Emma is my best friend!”
Hazel had to admit that the female journalist in front of her was much smarter than Janet.
But that’s all.
However, her silent and faint smile still made Margaret feel uneasy in her heart.
She picked up the cup on the table and took a big sip.
Hazel took in Margaret’s reaction and glanced at the video on the computer screen.
As Tony fell to the ground, the camera also became shaky.
This made her think of the new shirt on Tony, which obviously did not belong to him.

Based on the perspective seen in the video at that time, Margaret should have installed the hidden camera inside a button.
And Margaret?
She originally thought that Hazel wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, using her to deal with Janet. But her sudden retort just now, along with the mocking smile at the corner of her mouth, clearly indicated that she still knew something.
Was this her way of testing her? Margaret pondered silently in her mind.
Just then, there came a knock on Janet’s side, accompanied by the bickering of the bodyguards.
Janet was going crazy!
After finally tying up Tony and Mary, they waited for nightfall, so that the bodyguards could take them away and dispose of them properly,
And then Emma’s foster parents arrived again.
“Emma, are you okay?”
“As soon as mom and dad heard about your accident, they immediately rushed over.”
The woman who was speaking was wearing a light blue plain dress, exuding a delicate and timeless elegance. The man who was supporting her arm had a dignified appearance, with silver–framed glasses and an air of scholarly elegance.
He whispered to Janet, “Emma, your mother was very worried about you.”
Last time, Janet was forced to a dead end and had no choice but to return to Emma’s house.
The result of pushing open the door was unexpectedly seeing Margaret, the female journalist from two days ago, which made her realize that the person was someone who truly knew Emma.
In order to avoid being exposed, she had to quickly leave home.
Margaret, who was still in the upstairs room at that time, lowered her head and revealed a smile that showed she knew everything.
Jonathan and Kyla were the ones she brought over to expose Janet’s identity.
But they arrived a little late due to traffic and missed the chance to meet Tony and Mary face to face.
But it’s not too late now either!
Everyone is now gathered in one room, Margaret is eager for the next development, to uncover Janet’s true identity!
desktop.
Hazel’s gaze briefly paused in the bottom right corner of the computer Noticing the silence of the woman beside her, Margaret turned her head to look at her, with lingering anxiety and curiosity in her eyes. Seeing that she remained silent and looked at the computer screen, Margaret breathed a sigh of relief.
Hazel pretended not 16 see her expression and continued to look at the computer screen. The fire had already burned halfway.
The other half that was left should have also been on the way.
Soon, Margaret would find out why.
“What, Emma? This wretched girl is my daughter Janet. Well, I understand now. Since you can’t have children, you want to snatch someone else’s daughter, all for the money in her pocket!”

Although Tony was tied up, his mouth was not gagged.
His words about not being able to have children made Kyla

he’s just talking nonsense.”
She softly asked Tony and Mary, who were tied up on the ground, “Are you Emma’s biological parents?”
Mary nodded and said, “Yes, she was my daughter Janet. She wanted to come back with us to Supai Village to build a house for her brother, buy a car, and get married. You can’t take my daughter away from me!”
Upon hearing Mary’s words, Janet became anxious.
Her voice was clearly

“You’re

Emma!”
Hazel looked into Jonathan’s eyes, such a refined man, but there was no tenderness in his gaze towards Janet, not at all like a father.
The woman in his arms, however, had worry in her eyes.
As Jonathan lowered his head, the coldness in his eyes faded away and was replaced by tenderness. He gently patted her back to calm Kyla’s uneasiness, and they appeared very
affectionate.
The cup next to her was knocked over by Margaret.
She immediately picked up the computer in front of her, afraid of getting it wet, and her gaze never left the man on the computer screen.
Jonathan’s voice was steady and his speech was slow: “Emma was a child we legally adopted from an orphanage, not someone we snatched, as you claim.”
Upon hearing his calm and composed words, Janet and Margaret’s hearts skipped a beat simultaneously.
The former was anxious, while the latter was excited.
“Pah! What orphanage? That wretched girl was raised by my side until she turned eighteen. She never set foot in an orphanage!”
Tony saw Jonathan and Kyla’s attire and they looked wealthy as well.
An idea of exchanging money instantly popped into my mind.
“If you really want this damn girl, it’s not impossible. I’ve spent a lot of money raising her for 18 years. Just give us 500,000, and this damn girl will be yours.”
Kyla and Jonathan frowned.
They spent their whole lives teaching and educating others, always treating people with respect, and had never encountered such a despicable person before.
Janet’s face, at that moment, was as pale as paper.
She dared not let Tony continue speaking, so she directly grabbed the towel on the sofa and forcefully covered Tony’s mouth.
I found another one and blocked Mary’s mouth.
He then turned to Jonathan and Kyla, tugged at the stiff corners of his mouth, and explained, “Mom and Dad, they were sent by my boyfriend’s family to deliberately tarnish my reputation. I don’t even know them.”
She lifted up her clothes and showed them the red marks on her wrist.
“You see, this is what they threatened me with just now, pinched out.”
“If I were really their daughter, why would they treat me like this? It’s clearly slander.” When she said these words, Tony, whose hands and mouth were bound, glared at her fiercely.

Janet put in a lot of effort to calm Kyla’s emotions.

Just as she was about to reach out and touch Kyla, she was subtly pushed away by Jonathan.
I saw this scene.
A dark light flashed in Hazel’s eyes.
Jonathan seemed to care a lot about his daughter on the surface, but his eyes were always cold and indifferent, lacking any warmth of a father–daughter relationship, which was the exact opposite of Kyla’s reaction.
The room fell silent once again.
At the same time as Hazel’s phone vibrated, there came another knock on the door downstairs.
The person she had been waiting for finally arrived!
