Chapter 218 Wait for Your Sentence

As soon as Katrina entered the room, she was slapped. She tried to squeeze out a smile, confused. But her smile was stiff and her body trembled.

"Grandma, why are you so mad at me? Did I do anything wrong?"

Alicia took out her phone and opened the surveillance video that she copied before she threw the phone into Katrina's hands. Then, she smashed some printed photos at Katrina with a fierce look on her face.

Alicia was furious. "The Swale family has kindly taken you in and raised you

for so many years. We treated you as our own and gave you everything the best we could!

"When you first came, I was afraid that you wouldn't feel secure and I even told all the Swale family that even if we found our girl, we would still treat you well as our own. But look what you have done, you ungrateful bastard!"

Katrina was so flustered that she dared not to watch the surveillance video but look at the photos on the ground.

In the photo, Katrina stopped the nurse, who was holding Dakota's blood sample, and said something to her.

And the next photo was of her outside the testing room in the middle of the night with Sandra and a man. They sneakily took something from the testing room.

Although they were all wearing masks and the Swale family might not be able to recognize Sandra and the man, it was impossible for them to not recognize Katrina. After all, Katrina grew up in the Swale

family.

Alicia scolded her, "You changed the blood and tampered with the results. If it wasn't for you, Dakota wouldn't have to give Darlene her blood! You nearly killed her!

"Katrina, I underestimated you. Tell me, who are the man and the woman going to the testing room with you that night?"

Katrina's face turned deathly pale. She could not understand how Alicia got the surveillance video. Sandra and she had eliminated the surveillance videos in the hospital that night!

Where did Alicia get it?

Katrina stuttered, "Grandma, the surveillance video must be fake. How could I have done that? I saw the nurse draw blood from Mom's hand that night. But I had no idea what Mom was going to do at all!"

"Fake?" Alicia sneered, "Katrina, the dean is close to your father, and he has always regarded you as his niece.

"He thought you were simple and kind, letting you come to and leave his office as you pleased, which gave you the opportunity to delete the surveillance footage that night.

"But you didn't know that Nathen's computer would save all the surveillance footage in the hospital, including the one that captured you sneaking into the dean's office to delete the surveillance videos."

Katrina could not maintain her smile anymore. She broke out in a sweat as she helplessly watched Alicia open another surveillance video.

On the screen, Katrina entered the dean's office with a decent and innocent smile, then she made an excuse to ask the dean to leave..

After the dean left, Katrina revealed her true face and quickly deleted the surveillance videos on the dean's computer.

After that, she revealed a particularly proud smile. However, on the screen, the smile on her face made her look even more ridiculous than a clown.

Katrina was so embarrassed and shocked that she directly collapsed on the ground.

Dakota had always been soft-hearted, but now she saw Katrina, her adopted daughter, was actually lying to all of them and hindering her from recognizing her biological daughter.

She felt very angry and merely watched Katrina with a cold look in her eyes, having no plan to help Katrina or speak up for her.

Lucian, who remained silent all the time, did not pity Katrina either since Dakota didn't say anything at all.

After all, when Lucian found out that Katrina was not the daughter of the Swale family, he did not even have the intention of keeping her at all. It was all because Dakota and Alicia became soft-hearted that he agreed to keep her.

Katrina found herself high and dry. She sat on the ground, flustered, then she gritted her teeth and pounced on Dakota, clinging to her thigh.

"Mom! I know that I was wrong! I shouldn't have done that! I won't do it again!

"I am an orphan! I was just scared that you would abandon me when you found your real daughter. I just didn't want to leave you, Mom! I know I was stupid. Please forgive me this time! Mom! Dad! Grandma! This is my fault! Please forgive me!"

However, Dakota reached out and shook away Katrina's hands, and said coldly, "This is not the first time you have been stupid, Katrina. You know very well what you have done before.

"You have secretly slandered my daughter and pretended to be innocent in front of Andrew for Avery before.

"There are also many things that I have reminded you of many times before. I told you to be kind and not to be so mean. But you never listened."

Alicia said sternly, "She will never listen, Dakota. Don't waste your time on her. She dared to tamper with the DNA test. It was illegal, yet she still had the guts to do so.

"Adam, chase her out. I don't want her to dirty the floor of this house. She has nothing to do with our family from now on. Let the police take care of this."

Katrina turned to look at Lucian, who had been silent all the time, and begged, "Dad! Dad! Help me! I know I was wrong! Please don't give up on me! I have no family..."

But Lucian turned his back and didn't even bother to give her a look. "Take her out. I don't want to see her anymore. Before I find my daughter, I don't want to waste my time on her. The police can handle it."

Alicia sneered, "You have no family? You have been in the Swale family for too long to remember where you are from, right?

"Your father was a gambler in some village, and he owed so many debts that he had to sell you and your mother out. Your mother committed suicide by jumping into the river because she couldn't bear the humiliation.

"And you were left in the orphanage and adopted by the Swale family. Katrina, the Swale family never failed you. But you failed us. What you have done makes you end up like this."

Katrina kept crying and shouting. Adam had long disliked her and dragged her out. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Save it! You heard what Mr. and Mrs. Swale said. You can't stay here anymore! This is just the beginning. Keep your crocodile tears! You can shed them when you are in the police station!"

Katrina was chased out, and soon she was taken away by two police officers. Because her behavior of exchanging blood samples in the hospital was a crime.

Besides, Katrina was also involved in the suspicion of other crimes, so the police station temporarily kept her in custody for further investigation.

Sandra also received the news in the hospital.

She knew very well how timid and cowardly Katrina was. Katrina had no loyalty to her at all.

After Katrina was taken to the police station and the police yelled at her, she would definitely tell them everything about Sandra.

Even if Katrina had no evidence, the police would still investigate Sandra's background.

Sandra was scared out of her wits. She lost her usual composure and went straight to Avery in a panic..

She had good timing.

Andrew had gone to the company, and the other elders of the Gallard family were also absent.

When Avery learned that Darlene had left with Nathen early in the morning, he knew well what they were going to do. He was worried that Darlene's operation would not go smoothly, so he got anxious to find Darlene's whereabouts.

He was in such a bad mood that he almost drove away everyone around him.

When Sandra arrived, she saw Cyrus standing outside, and Avery was alone in the ward.

Sandra's face was as pale as a sheet when she pushed open the door and she came straight to the point. "Avery, don't forget what you promised me and Katrina before. You said you would cover for us!

"Now that Katrina is taken away by the police, she will confess everything at any time. You have to get her out as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will have to tell Darlene that the one who gave her heart was Nathen.

Avery's face darkened. He was not in the mood to be threatened now. Hearing this, he sneered, "Great, go and tell her now.

"I was just worried that Darlene's operation would not go smoothly, and I

have been trying to figure out where she is. The world is too big, Sandra. If you are really something, go find her and tell her your so-called secret. Otherwise, I think you can just stay here and wait for your sentence.
