Chapter 522
Shirley froze. As she followed Grace’s line of sight and met Anathe’s half–stilling expression, a bad feeling rose from the pit of
her stomach.
Hannah sensed something, too. She suddenly looked at Anathea, Binking in surprise.
Gregory fixed his gaze on Anathea, his eyes gradually darkening.
Sure enough, in the next second, Grace walked over to Anathea and grabbed her hand.
Then, she announced to the guests, “As you can all see, Nat is thy long–lost daughter. She’s the heiress of Lancaster Group!”
The moment the words left her mouth, the guests burst into a commotion. They looked at Anathea in shock, confusion, and disbelief–every emotion imaginable.
But no one was more shocked than Theo. Beyond the surprise, the eyes that had once lost all hope suddenly lit up again.
If Anathea was the heiress of Lancaster Group, then… wouldn’t that mean he was engaged to Anathea?
His heart skipped a beat, and his breathing quickened. He felt as if he had aced an exam perfectly despite having given up and chosen the answers at random.
Theo was so excited that his hands were trembling. He was staring at Anathea with longing and hope.
Louie took in Theo’s reaction, then glanced at Gregory.
Gregory’s expression was unreadable, his eyes dark. But he was clenching his fingers, which gave away his feelings.
Gregory never expected things to turn out like this.
Louie sighed silently.
Back when Dominic had gone to the hospital to look for Anathea, he had already sensed something was wrong, but he hadn’t thought it would lead to this moment.
After all, he had heard about how much Adam and Fiona doted on their daughter, and Anathea didn’t seem like an adopted child.
But reality often defied expectations.
Anathea and Grace looked at each other smilingly.
Anathea thought back to the time from over three months ago when Dominic came to find her.
He had presented two paternity tests to her, the data showing 99.6% and 99.8% respectively, which confirmed the father- daughter and mother–daughter relationships.
At that moment, Anathea looked at Dominic strangely. “Mr. Lancaster, it’s not April Fool’s Day. You can’t pull a joke like this.”
“I’m not joking. I’m serious,” Dominic said solemnly.
“I’ve done these reports using blood samples from you and my parents. With this high similarity, you should already know where I’m going with this, right?”
In other words, Anathea was actually the biological daughter of Grace and Zach Lancaster.
“That’s impossible!” Anathea retorted.
“I have parents! My dad is Adam, and my mom is Fiona. I’m their biological daughter! They were the ones who was little!”
“Since you were little? Then, do you remember anything before you were six years old?”
Anathea was stunned because everything before the age of six was a blank in her memory.

Also, Adam and Fiona were the kind of people who loved to document life with a camera. The photo albums at home were filled with pictures of Anathea from elementary school, middle school, gh school, all the way through college, except for before she was six.
She had asked Fiona about it before. Fiona told her they had accidentally lost the physical photos during a move and had accidentally deleted the raw files in the camera.
While Anathea was lost in thought, Dominic pulled out some more photos–photos of her before the age of six.
Anathea’s eyes trembled slightly.
“You have a small mole on the bridge of your nose, Just like our mom.”
Anathea instinctively touched the mole on the bridge of her nose, and Dominic then took out a photo of Grace.
