From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 583 You Are the True Heiress of the Mitchell Family "Dad, there's no point in hiding anything anymore," Penelope said. "I deserve to know the truth. I need to know who I really am." Connor's eyes started to tear up. "Penelope, it wasn't like we wanted to keep it from you. Your mom and I just wanted to give you a good life, one where you could be happy and carefree. But life threw us a curveball. Vincent's death almost tore our family apart. We failed you. We couldn't protect you, and you went through so much with us. Every tI think about it, I feel so guilty and ashamed. We thought adopting you would change your fate, give you a normal life. But instead, we dragged you into our mess." The words "adopting you" hit Penelope like a ton of bricks.

She was adopted. She wasn't Connor and Grace's biological daughter! She stared at Connor, watching his mouth move but barely hearing the words.

"Why did you adopt me? And why just me?" Penelope asked. "Did you and Mom never plan to have your own child?" "Your mom had surgery when she was young and had her uterus removed, so she couldn't have kids. But she really wanted a child. To make her happy, we went through the adoption process and chose you from the orphanage." So that was it.

Penelope finally understood the truth that had been hidden for over twenty years.

She wasn't who she thought she was. She was someone else.

All these years, she had been living in a fog, not even knowing who she was! "We raised you as our daughter with no selfish motives," Connor said. "I even suggested adopting a boy too. We could afford it. But your mom refused. She said raising two kids would divide the love and make it hard to focus. She just wanted to love you, spoil you, and pour all our love into you." Grace really did what she said.

From childhood to now, she never got mad at Penelope, never raised her voice, never scolded or criticized her, let alone hit her for being naughty.

She was the perfect mom.

Every tPenelope thought of her mom, she got teary-eyed.

She was such a wonderful mom, even better than a biological one! The love and care she received were beyond repayment! Connor continued, "We thought living with us was the best for you. Who would have thought there was such a sudden change and that your true identity is far better than just being our daughter?" "No, no," Penelope choked up, shaking her head. "Dad, being your daughter is my luck and my blessing. I've never regretted it, never blamed you." "But Penelope, if what Brandon said is true, then your real identity is that of the Mitchell family's daughter!" Connor said.

The Mitchell family was loaded, with assets worth hundreds of millions, enough to last several generations. This was something the Cooper family could never compare to.

Plus, the Mitchell family had already picked a future husband for their daughter from the equally prestigious Walker family.

Brandon was a talented guy who had grown up with Isabella.

Even though Nathan was head over heels for Penelope, the Smith family always looked down on the Coopers. They had this air of superiority and didn't think much of Penelope.

When the Cooper family hit hard times, the Smiths wasted no tsending Nathan abroad, cutting ties with the Coopers overnight, scared that their bad luck would rub off on them.

The disaster that struck the Coopers turned Penelope's life upside down! Just thinking about it made Connor's heart ache with guilt.

"I thought adopting you was saving you, giving you a new life. But instead, we hurt you," Connor shook his head over and over. "If we hadn't adopted you, the Mitchell family might have found you and taken you back long ago." "Dad, don't say that," Penelope said.

"Brandon ctoa while back, asking about your background," Connor remembered. "I didn't give him a straight answer, but I didn't hide it either. He figured it out. So he cto you today." "I didn't know you were the Mitchell family's daughter. Brandon didn't say; he just asked if you were my biological daughter. Penelope, if I had known, I would've worked with Brandon to get you back to the Mitchell family as soon as possible!" Connor said. Connor and Grace really treated Penelope like their own daughter. They were willing to do anything for her.

"Dad, I get it. You don't need to explain. I don't blyou, and I never will. I'm just confused." Penelope lowered her head, tugging at her hair.

She always thought she knew who she was, what she wanted, and what kind of life she was aiming for. But it turned out it was all just an illusion! She wasn't who she thought she was. She was someone else.

Everything Penelope thought she had never really belonged to her.

Connor looked at her with love. "Don't be conflicted, Penelope. Now that you know your true identity and Who ve your biological parents are, you should see them and reunite. Dad supports you, and I believe your mom would too." "Dad, can I really fit into that family?" Penelope asked.

When Penelope went to the Mitchell family, she saw how much Brent and Nicole cared for Isabella.

They knew Isabella was adopted and not their biological daughter, but they still cherished her.

They even arranged for Isabella to marry Brandon.

They treated Isabella like their own daughter.

Even when Isabella angered Kelvin and made an unforgivable mistake, the Mitchell family still tried to protect her. They didn't abandon her just because she was adopted.

"Silly child," Connor said, wiping his tears and smiling warmly. "They're your biological parents. There's a blood bond. How could you not fit in?" "I met them once," Penelope said.

At that time, Penelope felt a special connection to Nicole.

She always felt that Nicole was particularly gentle and familiar.
