Chapter 3

On the big screen on stage, countless photos of Skylar and David Harrison appeared.

From her childhood princess dresses to her current school uniform, they clearly showed their bond as parent and child.

A elegantly dressed woman came onto the side of the stage, holding a marriage certificate, showing it to everyone.

"This is my marriage certificate with David Harrison. I am Skylar's mother. We are a family of three!"

How was that possible? How could this woman have a marriage certificate with my dad?

I wanted to snatch the certificate and examine it, but she projected it onto the big screen. It even had an official seal!

I was instantly panicked, remembering that all these years, I had indeed never seen my parents' marriage certificate...

"Look at her. She won't believe it until it's staring her in the face. She finally believes it now, right?"

No, I didn't believe it. I called my dad with trembling hands, but it went straight to voicemail.

"Why aren't you answering at a crucial moment? Your daughter is being bullied right now!"

"Answer the phone!"

My heart hammered, my mind a chaotic mess. I forced myself to calm down.

He had just finished work this morning; he should be resting now.

All work during his rest time was handled by his assistant. Thinking of this, I immediately called Leo, his assistant.

When he picked up, I put it on speaker.

"Leo, am I my dad's biological daughter?"

Leo chuckled at my question.

"Miss Autumn, you called so urgently just to ask that?"

"You're Mr. Harrison's only biological daughter. Everyone in the company knows that. Who's upsetting you?"

"Do you want me to wake Mr. Harrison up for you?"

Everyone present's expression changed. I finally let out a sigh of relief.

Leo was Harrison Holdings' PR wizard, and he had even become a minor celebrity in his own right, with more followers than my dad.

His words were undeniable.

The students below began to doubt.

"That's Leo, right? I listen to his interviews every day. I couldn't mistake him. Could Autumn be telling the truth?"

"But Skylar really looks exactly like Mr. Harrison, and her mom has a marriage certificate. That's an undeniable fact, right?"

A faint smile played on my lips.

"There are so many fake documents these days. Who knows if that certificate is real or fake?"

"We can get it professionally verified. I have all the time in the world to prove it."

Hearing this, Skylar showed no sign of backing down. Instead, she raised an eyebrow mockingly, a sneer twisting her lips.

She took out her phone and video-called my dad. He picked up immediately.

That face was all too familiar.

He had handed my call off to his assistant but picked up Skylar's call instantly?

Blood rushed to my head. My confidence from a moment ago vanished completely.

"Hello? Skylar, isn't it class time? Why are you calling your dad?"

Seeing me stunned in place, Skylar glanced at me triumphantly and said with a smile.

"Something happened at school, and Mom is here too."

Victoria walked over and affectionately called out, "Honey."

David Harrison asked with concern.

"What happened? Do you want Dad to set things right for you?"

Skylar sweet-talked him.

"It's nothing, just a minor thing. I'll handle it myself. Dad, am I your favorite daughter?"

David Harrison laughed heartily, dotingly saying.

"Our Harrison family only has one precious gem, and that's you! Who else could it be?"

Skylar's face crumpled in a pitiful pout, and she whined.

"But today, someone came to our school saying she's your daughter, and even said you and Mom are fake married! I'm so upset!"

David Harrison frowned, his entire demeanor consumed by anger.

"Where did this imposter come from, daring to cause trouble right in front of you? I think your school doesn't want to operate anymore. Was that building donated for nothing?"

"My only and legal wife is your mom, and my only and beloved daughter is you, Skylar. Don't be afraid. Fight back! Your dad's got your back!"

After hanging up, Skylar immediately rushed up to me and slapped me hard!

"Did you hear that? My dad said it himself! Are you still going to find Leo or some other assistant to argue?"

I didn't have time to react and was slapped to the ground. I loudly retorted.

"No, it's not! That was an AI! I can tell! You're lying!"

"Give me the phone! I know the loophole!"
