The Duke studied the girl.

He could see that the girl didn't like to be a chatterbox and only liked to be a listener, so he told her everything in one go.

"If you've heard anything about Impes, you should know that only those who are smart friends of Impes or who can make contributions that will help Impes' development can leave this place alive.

"Since my wife has offered to adopt you, I hope you won't let me down."

"Uh-huh."

The girl nodded like a chick pecking at the rice.

"Matthew (Earl Connor) should have told you what 'equivalent exchange' is, and your response was 'a scavenger finds a treasure and exchanges it for money'? This is indeed a simple exchange,"

The Duke tried to explain to the girl what "benefits" were in simple terms.

“Naturally, the equivalent exchange I reached with you is that we provide you with the identity of Impresi, and you use your abilities to contribute to Impresi.

"do you know?"

The girl has been wandering around for a long time, and she has never learned what "family love" means:

"Okay, I know."

The girl answered coldly.

"Huh..." The Duke sighed.

"It seems we still have to teach you to love others and accept their love."

"What is it?" The girl was a little confused.

"talk about it later."

The Duke curled his lips.

Since girls understand what interests are very early, it is better to start with topics that interest her.

"I almost forgot, I have to tell you a premise. That is,"

There was a hint of coldness in the Duke's dark green eyes.

“You have to learn to let go of your expectations of your biological parents.

"They have abandoned you, so naturally you don't have to lower yourself to please them.

"Although you are a girl, you don't have to be a saint. This is your moral issue."

"To be kind to someone who hurts you is to take revenge on yourself. Do you know that?"

"Duke..."

The girl's eyes were full of disregard, and she pounded her weak legs with her hands.

"Do I look like I'm going to find my biological parents?"

The Duke listened to the girl's complaints with great interest.

"I even feel that my biological parents were irresponsible in bringing me into this world."

The Duke was silent:

"I overthink it. Sorry."

For the first time, the girl heard a stranger who had never abused her and even gave her good food and drink.

Say "sorry" to her.

The Duke was not surprised:

"Well, in order to live a meaningful life and let that negligent couple know the price of losing you, you should become stronger instead of complaining about yourself. Isn't that right?"

The Duke spoke calmly.

The girl was helpless:

"I agree with the Duke's perception. I must let them experience what 'regret' is."

The Duke raised his lips slightly and slowly put his hands together and clapped:

Pop, pop, pop.

"Okay, then run towards your goal - I'm not talking about physically, of course, but mentally."

The Duke looked at the girl in the wheelchair and changed his words faster than anyone else.

The Duke realized that the girl in front of him was a sober and far-sighted girl. Adopting her would bring benefits to the family.

"I will adopt you, and you have to work hard for yourself."

...

Not long after, the butler handed the Duke an adoption document, and the Duke showed it to the girl himself:

"Your name from now on will be Florine Impes..."

"Florine" is a variation of "Flower", which means that the girl should "bloom" like a flower.

"Although your legs are disabled, it does not prevent you from blooming with your own colors."

(End of memory)

Scott popped up:

"It can be seen that no matter who my father is, he always keeps an icy face when he first meets someone. But if he gets to know them well...

"Take Florin for example, who would have thought that the Duke of Impes is now a daughter..."

The Duke suddenly scooped a large spoonful of the patch and stuffed it into Scott's mouth:

"Ah, Scott, you must not have tasted such delicious pudding yet? Come, Dad will feed you some..."

"Slave (connected with the previous word, it means 'daughter slave')..."

Scott tilted his head upwards, spoon still in his mouth.

"..."

Sheen was completely stunned:

Fortunately, I wasn't the one who said this.

When Mrs. Nora was recounting the process of their adoption of Florine, she did not tell Sheen that it was because she was traumatized at the time that she adopted Florine to comfort her heartache of "losing her daughter."

She just said, “I feel lonely because I didn’t give birth to a daughter.”

Although Sheen felt that it was absurd that "they adopted Florin just because they were lonely", he didn't seem to dare to ask whether what they said was true or not.

All he needed to know was that Florine was doing well in Impes.

"but..."

Nora felt something was wrong.

"Sheen, why are you suddenly asking about Florin?"

Sheen knew the fun was about to begin, so he straightened his back a little:

"That's because I think Miss Impes looks a bit like someone I know..."

Sheen used magic to summon a photo -

This was a photo he had secretly taken out of the photo frame in the Duke's Mansion before leaving the Duke's Mansion.

Then he handed the photo to Mrs. Nora.

Lady Nora took it in both hands and turned it over. The Duke also came over to look.

Both of them stared at the woman in the photo:

Lady Susan Haines, Lady Haines.

Florin looks 70% similar to her - the kind that would definitely be kicked out if doing a paternity test!

The Duke adjusted his glasses:

"Who is this..."

"Of course she is from the Haines family. She is Lady Haines..." Sheen smiled and told the couple a fact.

"I knew long ago that Lilibei was a fake virgin."

"Cough cough,"

Sheen clenched his left hand into a fist and put it to his mouth to clear his throat.

“Although I know it’s not a good idea to do this, but…”

"Can I talk to Miss Florin alone?"

Florin is Haines' bloodline?

The implication...

The Impers looked at each other.

But on second thought:

Sheen is Haines' "abandoned child" and he can never like the Lord and his wife.

"After all, the lord's child has taken over the position that belongs to Xien, and Xiren thinks that 'everything is as it should be'."

The people present thought about it:

Instead of letting Florin grow up in confusion, it is better to let her prepare mentally early.

Impes fully respects Florin's decision.

...

This photo appeared on the coffee table in Florin's room, and Sheen was sitting beside the coffee table with an expressionless face.

Florin, who was sitting opposite Sheen, said nothing but stared coldly at the photo.

Of course, she was looking at the woman in the photo—Florene herself thought that this woman was her biological mother...

It should be said: the vicious woman who abandoned her.
