In fact, all of this was premeditated, and they didn't just find me on the street by chance.

But before I returned to China to record the variety show, I secretly sent someone to find out that I was a member of the Thomas family.

Afterwards, I instructed others to spread the news, claiming that the Thomas family's daughter who was lost many years ago had now become a spicy hot pot stall owner.

Domestic media heard the news and made a big fuss about the incident, with public opinion overwhelmingly calling on the Thomas family to reacknowledge their biological daughter.

If it weren't for the pressure from public opinion, the Thomas family might never have taken the initiative to take me home.

My original intention of returning to the Thomas family was, firstly, to see with my own eyes what this family was really like, and secondly, to find out the truth about why they cruelly abandoned me.

I coughed lightly and said calmly, "If that's the case, I'll leave."

"You dare!" Raymond Thomas grabbed me suddenly, and I looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong? Since you don't welcome me, can't I just leave?"

Raymond Thomas hesitated to speak. I fully expected him to give a reason for staying, but he chose to remain silent.

At this time, Evelyn came over and gently held my hand: "Okay, Cynthia, don't be angry. It's just a room. The conditions of the guest room are much better than your accommodation outside."

"Your father said that he doesn't want you to take over and manage the family business because it's actually for your own good. After all, you know nothing about it. If he leaves it to you, won't the company go bankrupt?"

Evelyn avoided the question and the answer she gave did not satisfy my curiosity at all.

But it doesn't matter, I will find out the truth sooner or later.

Seeing that my attitude had softened, Raymond Thomas put on a fatherly look again: "Just stay here and relax. As long as you're obedient, it's not impossible for Dad to let you manage part of the company."

"Be good and move your things to the guest room next door. Dad will teach you everything from now on."

I had no intention of continuing to tangle with these three people, and I didn't come back to compete with Luna Thomas for favor anyway. So I stood up, picked up my bag, and walked straight into the guest room.

The next morning, I was still half asleep when I heard a knock on the door and got up to open it. Unexpectedly , two tall doctors in white coats suddenly rushed in and pushed me down on the bed without saying a word.

I was terrified and struggled desperately: "What are you going to do?"

At this time, Raymond Thomas came in and comforted me with a fake smile: "Don't be afraid, this is the doctor Dad hired to give you a physical examination."

I had a bad feeling and struggled even harder: "I'm healthy, I don't need any medical examination!"

Evelyn also came in to comfort me: "It's just a few tubes of blood, don't be afraid, kid."

Under the control of two tall male doctors, I was eventually forced to have my blood drawn.

After the blood was drawn, I was left in the guest room coldly, with no one paying attention to me.

When I put on my clothes and wanted to go out for a walk, I was stopped by the bodyguard in the villa: "Sorry, Miss, Raymond Thomas has said that you cannot leave the villa without your permission."

"Where is Raymond Thomas? I want to find him and ask him clearly. I am his adopted daughter, not a prisoner!"

The bodyguard looked at me expressionlessly: "Raymond Thomas has gone to work at the company, you should stay at home."

I returned to the room helplessly, and I became more and more convinced that the reason they took me back was not just because of public pressure.

Maybe there is a deeper, more ulterior purpose, but I haven't discovered it yet!
