Jacob saw a furious face that slightly resembled his late girlfriend and stood up calmly. "You must be Naeve's cousin, Moira. Nice to meet you."

Moira Thornborough came over in her high heels and pulled Heidi behind her. She glared at him and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing her treating him as an enemy, Jacob forced a smile and said, "I'm here to see my daughter."

"You don't have a daughter here!" Moira stood tensely, and her eyes burned with fury.

If not for this bastard, my cousin wouldn't have died young!

On the other hand, little Heidi craned her head and looked from one adult to another with confusion in her eyes.

"I know you are lying." Jacob looked down and felt a pang in his heart, seeing his daughter lost and flustered.

Moira gritted her teeth and did not reply. She held Heidi's hand and walked away.

Jacob shook his head and smiled bitterly as he watched them enter a nearby car.

As the car traveled home, Heidi sat on Moira's lap and bit her fingernails.

Moira would usually stop Heidi whenever she started doing that. Unfortunately, Moira was too distracted by her thoughts to notice anything.

Suddenly, Heidi let go of her nails and looked up at Moira. "Aunt Moira, was that man my father?"

Moira trembled slightly before looking down at Heidi's expectant face. She took a deep breath and answered, "He is your father, but he is a bad father. He abandoned you and your mother before you were born."

Heidi's eyes' brightened. "I have a father!"

However, she quickly turned disappointed again. "But my father is a bad father who abandoned mommy and me. Mommy…"

Moira looked pitifully at Heidi, whose mother died from childbirth. She held Heidi tightly and said, "Heidi, it's okay. You still have grandma, grandpa, and me. We love you very much!"

Meanwhile, Jacob followed them in his car a few meters away and listened to their conversation, filling him with guilt and sorrow.

He followed his daughter to her residential area and watched her and Moira enter it. There was a hint of determination as he drove away.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Fernando welcomed Jacob and Jerry into the main hall of Paramount's police headquarters.
