Chapter 1404

Sonia’s eyes flickered. “Are you referring to their love for me?”

Charles nodded. “That’s right. Although the Grays are unscrupulous people, no one can deny their love for their children. They’re famous for doting on their children, and their unconditional love is partly responsible for the way Tina turned out. Even though their love resulted in raising an immoral person like Tina, they can’t be faulted for loving their child. And, compared to Tina, the one they love the most is still you.”

Sonia lowered her eyes.

Charles continued, “Because you’re their biological daughter, they didn’t suspect Taylor when she pretended to be you and reunited with the Grays. They showered her with even more love than they showed Tina. It proves that they truly love you, their only biological daughter. It’s just that they didn’t know you’re the real Rina, so that’s why they gave all their love to Taylor instead. Deep down inside, you know full well that the person they love isn’t Taylor, but Rina, whom Taylor is pretending to be. In fact, you know full well that if you stood in front of them and told them that you’re Rina, their love for Taylor would go to you instead. This love they have for their daughter is also the reason why you can’t hate them as much.”

“You’re right,” Sonia admitted with a bitter smile. “If they had shown no regard for Rina and hadn’t treated Taylor that well, I wouldn’t have broken down over the knowledge of my true identity. My hatred for them wouldn’t have diminished. I could’ve even convinced myself that I’m not their daughter and that they had merely given me a shell to live in. If they didn’t love me, then I wouldn’t have to hesitate when it comes to taking my revenge. Yet, they love Rina so deeply. I’m sure that if they found out I’m their daughter, they would still be able to love me unconditionally.”

The knowledge of this was Sonia’s greatest burden.

If the Grays showed no affection for Rina, then even if Sonia found out that she was their biological daughter, she wouldn’t feel the need to stop her plan for revenge. She would be able to carry on without a care in the world and act as if she wasn’t their daughter.
