  At the mention of the word &quot;stepdaughter&quot;, Braylee noticed a thoughtful look in Susan's eyes.
      She knew that to outsiders, Adley was Susan's stepdaughter.
      What she did not understand was why her father wanted Adley to use her identity. What could this reason be?
      Susan replied with a flustered look on her face, &quot;I... we are having some disagreements but Adley is still a daughter of the Ryan family, so it is right for me to be protective of her. Furthermore, it is wrong of you, Cara, to be with this woman and even have kids behind Adley's back. Don't you think you have wronged Adley and the Ryan family as well?&quot;
      At these words, Cara started to look even more intimidating and exuded a frigid vibe. &quot;What right has your Ryan family to blame me for anything? If you want to speak about being wronged, well, the Ryan family has wronged the Nikolai

      Braylee poked his forehead with her fingertip and remarked, &quot;You deserve it. See if you dare to take seafood again in the future!&quot;
      &quot;It's Mr. Cara.&quot; Connor pointed at Cara. &quot;He's the one who let me eat it.&quot;
      Cara looked at him with raised eyebrows but in the end, he took the blame. &quot;He's right. It was me.&quot;
      &quot;That's enough, Mr. Cara. You don't need to cover up for him. Don't I know this rascal enough? He made you bring him to eat that.&quot; Braylee pinched Connor's cheeks.
      Connor stuck out his tongue.
      At exactly this moment, someone knocked on the door.
      Before Braylee could give any instructions, the caretaker had already walked over to open the door.
      A man in a white coat came in. Upon se

  &quot;Susan, you misunderstand me too often, don't you?&quot; Braylee gave a sarcastic laugh as she took back her phone. &quot;Why are you so nervous? Are you worried I'll misunderstand your relationship with the father and son?&quot;
      Susan's heart skipped a beat but she valiantly kept a straight face. &quot;No, I'm not worried, but they are related to me. He is a distant cousin of mine and that is his son. The child is sick so I brought them here for him to seek treatment.&quot;
      &quot;Oh, I see.&quot; Braylee nodded as if she believed what Susan said to her.
      Susan narrowed her eyes and stared at her for a long time. After confirming that Braylee was not pretending, she heaved a subtle sigh of relief and then immediately changed the topic. &quot;By the way, Adley told me that you're back in the country for good and have brought along two children. When will you bring

If you want to speak about being wronged, well, the Ryan family has wronged the Nikolai family terribly. Do you really think I am not aware of the fiancée incident back then?&quot;
