"Mr. Aiken..." Ivan Horne opened his mouth to say something, but Tom Aiken raised his hand to stop him. Tom looked at Lia Aiken with a bitter smile, a smile that was uglier than crying. He said, "Lia, I've told you everything you wanted to know."
"You are not my biological daughter. You should call me Uncle. Your real father and I are brothers."
Lia Aiken pressed her lips tightly together.
Tom Aiken continued, "However, I still owe you an apology. Regardless of whether you are my biological daughter or not, you are innocent. I should not have taken my anger out on you, retaliated against you all these years, made things difficult for you, even stood by while they bullied you, or tried to use you to help the Aiken Family through tough times. Lia, I'm sorry!"
Lia Aiken shook her head but couldn't say a word.
Anyone who has just gone through this would be in total disarray.
Her mind was so confused right now that she didn't know what to say.
