Yale was stunned, but he quickly returned to his senses. That cunning Mason had struck the heart of the problem.
Yale refused to believe that Mason would truly disown his daughter. Mason must be testing him.
“Of course. I love Krystal as a person, not her status.”
Krystal said angrily, “Dad, what do you mean by this? Didn’t you say those words out of anger, and you didn’t mean them at all? You’re my biological father. How could you abandon me?”
Mason sneered. “Do you think I’m as childish as you are? Why would I say things like that out of anger? All these years, you have been doing whatever you like just because of your status.
“So what happens now that you’ve lost that status?”
Krystal’s expression stiffened. “Dad, haven’t you cooled off? If not, why would you ask me to come back for dinner?”
“I called you back here to announce one thing. It was also to erase you from our family tree.”
Krsytal’s body swayed. “Dad, you must be joking.”
“Why would I joke about such things with you?” Mason’s expression was cold, and he looked at her like she was just a stranger.
Krystal shook Tatiana’s arm. It was only at that moment that she felt true fear. “Mom, speak up for me.”

“An outsider?” Mason snorted. “Who said that she’s an outsider?”
Tatiana looked at Mason. She suddenly realized something. Didn’t Mason just say that he was about to announce something?
She thought of the changes in the home these days, and she realized that they were all related to Olivia. Could it be?
Gripping her clothes tightly, Tatiana looked at Mason. “Mason, what are you announcing? Does it have something to do with Ms. Fordham?”
“Her? What does she have to do with our family?”
Getting up, Mason waved Olivia over. “Child, come here.”
Olivia obediently walked over to him. Taking her hand, Mason said gently, “We have verified that Olivia is related to me by blood. She is not an outsider. She’s my bona fide granddaughter.”
