You Are Not My Daughter,” Her Dad Said and Cut Her Out of His Will — But Went Pale When EPISODE 5

• The discovery shakes Emily. Was Richard suspicious even back then? Did Vanessa plant the doubt so long ago? The thought makes her stomach twist. Emily reaches out to another family friend, Mr. Adams, who once worked with Richard. over coffee. His eyes darken as he leans close. Vanessa never liked you, Emily, he says. I’ve seen her whisper things in Richard’s ear for years.
• Little by little, she turned him cold. It’s not about money. It’s about control. She wants everything for Michael. So, she lied to him. Emily asks. Wouldn’t surprise me, Mr. Adams replies. But Richard let her do it. He chose to believe her. These words sting more than Emily expects. Even if Vanessa is manipulating her father, Richard didn’t defend her.
• Didn’t even ask for proof before casting her aside. That betrayal cuts deeper than anything Vanessa could say. Days turn into weeks. Emily works her shifts, but every free moment goes into the investigation. She calls distant relatives, tracks down people who once worked for her parents, and keeps following the trail. The picture grows clearer.
• Vanessa has been at this for years, slowly turning Richard against his own daughter, convincing him that Emily didn’t belong. The weight of it all begins to crush her. One night, after another unanswered call to her father, Emily sits alone in her apartment, her hands shaking. “Why am I even fighting?” she asks herself out loud. “He doesn’t want me.
• Maybe it doesn’t matter whose blood runs in my veins.” But then she looks at her mother’s letters at the gentle handwriting full of love. No, she can’t stop. This isn’t just about her. It’s about protecting her mother’s name from a terrible lie. The more she uncovers, the more dangerous things feel. Vanessa starts showing up at the hospital, pretending to check on Emily, but really spreading gossip among her co-workers.
• Michael posts cruel things online, calling Emily a fraud. Richard refuses every request to meet. Emily feels like the walls are closing in. Everyone either believes the lie or is too afraid to speak up and yet she keeps pushing forward. Late one night, while going through the papers again, Emily notices something she missed before.
• One of the medical documents is recent, far too recent to have come from her mother’s old files. It’s a copy of her own birth records and Richard’s request for a DNA test years ago, but there’s no result attached. Why wasn’t it completed? Did Vanessa interfere back then, too? Emily feels her anger harden into resolve.
• If Richard once questioned her paternity, then she’ll settle it herself. Not with whispers or half-finish forms, but with proof. A real DNA test done now with no interference. If she can get Richard to agree, she can finally expose the truth. But convincing him will not be easy. He won’t answer her calls.
• He won’t even open the door. Vanessa is everywhere guarding him, twisting every word Emily says. And still Emily refuses to give up. This is no longer about inheritance. It’s about truth. It’s about her mother’s honor. And it’s about Emily herself, who she is, where she comes from, and whether she’ll let lies define her life.
• She takes a deep breath, clutching the medical documents and her mother’s letters close to her chest. I’m not walking away, she whispers. Not now. Not ever. The fight is far from over and Emily is ready for whatever comes next. Emily confronts Richard again, this time holding a folder full of proof. She has her mother’s love letters, old medical records, and the unfinished DNA test Richard once considered.
