CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 222: TANYA SINCLAIR IS THE REAL IMPOSTOR!

Vincent Hawthorne remembered that many years ago, he had fallen seriously ill and sought medical help. He was recommended to the Sinclair Family Clinic, which was just an ancient, old house, with the pharmacy serving as the consultation room.

They couldn’t even afford to hire an assistant; Old Master Sinclair handled all the medicine on his own, and Tanya...

Twelve-year-old Tanya, Vincent Hawthorne hadn’t thought about her for a long, long time.

At this moment, he was looking at the woman standing beside Old Master Kendall, about ten meters away, with everyone’s eyes fixed upon her.

She was not intimidated in the slightest, calm and serene, completely different from the Tanya in his memory who always stood in the corner, smiling at him, cheering and applauding for him.

Vincent Hawthorne’s Adam’s apple moved slightly.

Those years she truly gave up everything, becoming his ladder to success, a silent background behind him...

But now Tanya met the scrutinizing looks of everyone, and spoke, clearly and determinedly, word by word.

"Thank you, Grandpa Kendall, for your kindness. It’s nice to meet everyone for the first time. I am Tanya Sinclair, tracing back to the Kenwood Sinclair Family. We moved to Aris forty years ago."

Tanya had heard when she was very young that their ancestors were in Kenwood, but her grandfather left Kenwood during the last days of grandmother’s illness, relocating to Aris to live a discreet life.

The words "Kenwood Sinclair Family" caused a stir; the younger generation was confused, but delicate changes appeared on the faces of the older generation.

"It was once the first family in Suthern, the Kenwood Sinclair Family, renowned for its scholarly and medicinal legacy. But afterward, the family head sold off assets and left Kenwood. After that, they disappeared."

"Truly unexpected that the Sinclair Family moved to Aris!"

"Then isn’t Tanya Sinclair the only current heir of the Sinclair Family..."

Sean Lynn stood up abruptly at this moment, as if he could no longer bear it. He glared at Tanya Sinclair with the eyes of someone facing a murderous enemy!

"Old Master Kendall." Sean Lynn strode toward Old Master Kendall, suppressing his anger, and spoke loudly, "Today is your birthday banquet, being a junior, I first wish you longevity and good health!"

Tanya Sinclair couldn’t help but scoff coldly in her heart; indeed, Sean Lynn couldn’t sit still!

Old Master Kendall was slightly displeased by the interruption, but it wasn’t appropriate to show it. After all, Sean Lynn was here to offer birthday wishes.

He said coolly, "Thank you, you’re very thoughtful."

Sean Lynn’s gaze pierced sharply across Tanya Sinclair’s side profile.

"Old Master Kendall, there’s something I think I should inform you." Sean Lynn said in a low voice, "For years, I’ve been busy with business out of town most of the time. I just returned to Aris a short time ago, planning long-term development here. I heard from friends about a ridiculous matter, someone posing as my biological daughter, lying and cheating everywhere. I was worried about not being able to find the person, now it turns out she’s fooled her way into Old Master Kendall’s residence!"

Sean Lynn spoke with righteous indignation.

His words insinuated that Tanya Sinclair was the fraud!

"Twenty-seven years ago, I married the only daughter of the Sinclair Family, Charlotte Sinclair. Six months after Charlotte Sinclair passed away, I married my current wife. But I, Sean Lynn, only have one precious daughter in my lifetime, who is now Cindy! Today, I take Old Master’s birthday banquet as an opportunity to remind everyone, don’t be fooled by people with impure intentions, who use unscrupulous means!"

Tanya Sinclair was uncontrollably cold all over, not out of anger, but utmost disappointment.

She had thought countless times of meeting her father Sean Lynn again, who abandoned her back then, and wondered what kind of scenario it would be.

She thought he might feel ashamed, guilty, or he might avoid her... but ultimately, she overestimated humanity!

Sean Lynn wanted to completely erase her existence!

’Daddy’s little Tanya princess will be the happiest in the world...’

’Tanya dear, what birthday wish did you make? Can you tell Daddy? Aren’t you and Daddy the world’s first, best friends?’

’I wish for our family to be together forever, for Mommy and Daddy to love me always~’

In her memories, the sun was warm, her father smiling as he lifted her up, throwing her high into the air, catching her steadily.

’Of course, Mommy and Daddy will love you forever...’

Tanya Sinclair clenched her fists tighter with each sweet memory becoming more ironic.

Old Master Kendall’s keen eyes gloomily stared at Sean Lynn, "Are you implying Tanya is a liar?"

"Exactly. Old Master Kendall, everyone, this woman named Tanya Sinclair is an outright fraud!" Sean Lynn pointed at Tanya Sinclair, scolding furiously, "Shameless scoundrel, posing as the daughter of my deceased wife Charlotte Sinclair, the granddaughter of my father-in-law Horace Sinclair, exploiting your sentimental longing for old friends to garner sympathy! She’s simply despicable!"

Sean Lynn spoke with such conviction, causing many present to waver.

After all, what father wouldn’t recognize his own daughter...

Only Vincent Hawthorne knew Tanya Sinclair wasn’t lying. If this were really a lie, would she have schemed since she was a teenager? What would she gain?

Vincent Hawthorne’s dry lips slightly parted, wanting to say or do something, but the next second, Cindy Lynn suddenly brought a full cup of tea to his lips.

"Vincent, your mouth is all dry." She looked at him with full concern, speaking softly, "Drink some water. Dad will handle a scheming woman like her, it won’t affect our further cooperation with the Kendall Family."

Vincent Hawthorne: "..."

Cindy Lynn looked straight into Vincent Hawthorne’s eyes, "Vincent, did you forget why we came today? Silas Hawthorne may have replaced you, he’s now on the board, but even he couldn’t find a way to attend Old Master’s banquet."

She was indirectly reminding him not to act impulsively.

Today, he attended as Cindy Lynn’s fiancé, his fortune was tied to the Lynn Family’s prosperity!

"..." Vincent Hawthorne’s eyes showed struggle, caught in extreme conflict.

He stiffly took the water Cindy Lynn handed him.

Just when Cindy Lynn thought he was going to drink, Vincent placed the cup down and abruptly stood up, leaving his seat directly.

The smile that had begun to form on Cindy Lynn’s face froze, and hatred filled her eyes!

Vincent Hawthorne... he chose not to stand by her side!!

Even if he didn’t stand up for Tanya Sinclair, he couldn’t bear it and left because of that woman!

In his heart, there was indeed always a place for Tanya Sinclair, that despicable woman!

Tanya Sinclair didn’t have time to notice Vincent Hawthorne leaving the table.

She thought being yelled at as a shameless lowlife, cursed to death by her own father might be a rather rare "privilege" for daughters in this world.

"..."

Sean Lynn spoke so assuredly, swearing like he wanted to take an oath, and it made Old Master Kendall have a hint of hesitation; his gaze began to scrutinize between Tanya Sinclair and Sean Lynn.

Sean Lynn spotted that hint of wavering in Old Master Kendall, and grew more confident and composed, taking the opportunity to throw out another bombshell.

"As for what Old Master Kendall mentioned, why this woman possesses your old belongings and those of bygone friends, I believe I know the answer!" Sean Lynn glanced disdainfully at Tanya Sinclair, speaking with a deep voice, "Old Master Kendall, if you don’t mind, my bodyguards have captured a suspicious person nearby! He’s at the back door right now, waiting to be called in, then everything will be clear!"
