NovelUpdateChapter 494 Simms just ignored everyone, tears streaming down his face.
"You've been withever since you were a child. How could you turn onlike this, stabbingin the back for someone else? I don't even know these women! You know your father has money, and everything I earn is for the Turner family- it's all yours.
I don't know where these two cfrom, but they're clearly after my money. They're trying to frme and drive a wedge between us. Vicky, your mother's gone. Now I only have you-my only daughter-by my side..." Simms cried so convincingly, even the judge looked like he might believe him. Victoria's lawyer, however, presented a thick stack of evidence showing Simms had been embezzling company funds for years. Yet Simms denied everything, breaking down so tically that he could barely speak through his sobs.

Golden Era Enterprises has always been yours. All the hard work I put in was for you. I never asked you to hand the company over to me—I just wanted to make a living, to save up a little for my retirement. Can't you let your father have that much?" Simms' act of playing the victim was truly Oscar-worthy.
Standing at the plaintiff's table, Victoria was momentarily stunned by his words. Emily's face was set in stone; she slipped off her high heels and gripped them tightly, ready to hurl them at Simms. But before she could act, Violet rose to her feet.
"Dad, that's not quite right. You only have one daughter? Then who am I? Who's my mother?" Everyone in the courtroom stared at Violet in shock. Simms' mind raced, cursing inwardly as he tried to cup with a response.
Even Simms' lawyer seemed at a loss, but Simms managed to keep his composure. "You're just con artists. I don't know you, and you have nothing to do with me." But Violet was prepared. She pulled out a paternity test.
"It's not up to you to say whether we're related. Let the judge decide." Simms' mask slipped completely. He leaned in, voice low and trembling with anger. "What are you trying to pull? That test is a fake." Violet met his gaze coldly. "You don't get to decide what's real or not. Isn't that right, Dad?" Yulia, arms crossed, watched the whole spectacle from the gallery. What started as a corporate fraud case had turned into a full-blown family .
The judge rapped the gavel. "Court is adjourned. We'll reconvene in thirty minutes." Victoria hadn't expected Violet to land such a blow.
Violet shot her a triumphant smile. “Ms. Turner, seems like you can't just take whatever you want. I'm his real daughter. If my father has anything left, it should go toand my mother.
