"Ms. Guo, pwede bang umamin ka na ng totoo...tatay mo ba si Roa Duterte?" The senator asked in a calm tone, but beneath the surface, I could sense her irritation and simmering anger.

"No. Po. Talaga. Your Honor." I replied to her, wanting to provoke her even more, along with the other senators who were questioning me harshly.

"Ms. Guo, paanong hindi e andami na ngang pruweba na hawak namin oh." Sen. Jinggoy spoke while shaking the papers in his hand. "Alam mo, napakasinungaling mong babae ka!" He shouted.

I just laughed and smiled in response, which only intensified his irritation.

Bakit ba kasi pinagpipilitan nilang tatay ko ang Digong Roa Duterte na 'yon eh sa ganda kong to kukuha ako ng genes dun? Iww! Kilabutan nga sila.

"Hey, will you be able to handle this, my siobe?" My ate Sheila asked, her voice a mix of concern and encouragement.

She was right there beside me, and I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me for her unwavering support.

Throughout this painful chapter of my life, she had been my rock, always ready to stand by me no matter how tough things got.

I reached out for her hand, feeling the warmth of her presence. As I clasped her hand in mine, I offered her a reassuring smile, hoping to convey that I was stronger than I felt. But as I looked into her eyes, I noticed a flicker of dissatisfaction in her expression. It was as if she could see through my facade, sensing the turmoil I was trying to hide. Her concern only deepened my resolve to face the challenges ahead, knowing that I had her support, even if she wasn't completely convinced of my strength.

I don't know if I could, but I'm trying to.

"Ms. Guo, one more chance. Please, just tell us the truth. Totoo bang tatay mo si Digong Roa Duterte? Totoo bang ikaw ang kanang kamay niya at ngayong nakakulong siya ay ikaw ang nagpapatuloy sa mga illegal na gawin ng POGO hub dito sa bansa natin?" Sen risa asked in a calm tone, but I could see how she clenched her jaw tightly.

I kept my expression blank, not giving her the satisfaction of knowing how much her presence affected me.

They're all crazy, I swear! What do they expect me to admit? What they want to hear? I have no idea about this background they think I have tapos sila ay may alam. That's absurd!

I could feel my sanity slipping away.

"Madam Senator, wala po talaga akong alam tungkol dyan. Hindi ko po talaga alam ang pinaparatang ninyo po sa aken. Opo, I visited the POGO hub once po because I got invited po by Mr. Duterte. He just offered me a position there but I refused it and that's the first and last ng aming pagkikita po." I gritted my teeth.

I don't understand why they came up with the idea of me having a connection with Digong Roa Duterte and worse was, him as my father? Tf! Like for real, that fucking asshole was famously known as a criminal and most wanted sendicate in China, I don't remember having an interaction with him, personally.
