Chapter 1865:
Since Belinda had come to ask, Kenia chose to voice her thoughts candidly.
Belinda blinked. So, she had guessed right.
Now that the truth had come into sharper focus, Belinda felt there was no point in keeping it from Kenia any longer.
She released a quiet sigh.
“When Lucas’ people were digging into Holley’s past, they uncovered that a nurse who delivered her baby abruptly resigned just days after the birth. So Lucas’ team tracked her down, and they also found the doctor who performed Holley’s C-section…” She went on to lay out the situation in brief.
When she mentioned that the doctor clearly remembered Holley’s newborn having a distinctive dark red birthmark on the right side of her lower back, Kenia’s face changed in an instant. No wonder Belinda had suddenly asked her about the birthmark the other day.
Kenia knew with certainty that when she had first seen Belinda, there had been no such mark on her body.
If that were true, then perhaps Belinda was not Holley’s daughter…
As the possibility sank in, Kenia felt her breathing quicken.
“Could… could there be a mistake?”
Belinda pressed her lips into a thin line and then said calmly, “Today, Lucas’ people located the nurse who had been in the operating room at the time. She admitted she resigned because she realized the baby had been switched. The infant delivered from Holley’s womb was not the same child kept at her side afterward. For her own safety, she chose to resign after discovering that. Later, someone approached her, offering half a million dollars to buy her silence and warning her never to tell a soul about the matter.”
She fixed Kenia with an unreadable gaze.
“When one person says this, it could be a mistake. But when a second person backs it up, the odds of an error are very slim…”
Kenia said nothing, her complexion gradually draining of color. She found it hard to accept this.
Belinda lowered her lashes, a faint, bitter smile touching her lips.

“In the past, I could never understand why my own mother would pump me full of hormones to force my weight up or smear an ugly black spot on my face to destroy my looks. Now, I understand everything…”
At those words, Kenia’s expression shifted again.
That was also a question she had never been able to answer before.
She had turned it over in her mind countless times and found no way to explain it—until now.
But after she finally understood everything, she felt even more distressed, because the truth was so vile that it sickened her.
She now realized why Holley had chosen to leave home at that time, only summoning her to Owathe days later, after giving birth.
Covering her face with her hands, Kenia sat there, still stunned. Her daughter had committed something monstrous, something unforgivable. How could she ever accept that?
But she wasn’t ready to give in. She lifted her head, her voice trembling.
“Is… is it confirmed?”
