Maureen was indeed favonovel.com biological mother!
As Arielle heaved a long sigh, a scary thought suddenly dawned on her.
Mom’s only been married to Henrick, who’s been recognizing me as his biological daughter. In this case, wouldn’t it mean that Mom has… Committed adultery? Henrick found out about it and killed her?
Then again, he’s not the type who would allow someone who’s not his blood and flesh to enter the family.
It was then that Arielle realized favonovel.com had a big mystery to solve. She had returned to investigate favonovel.com mother’s death but to no avail. In addition, favonovel.com now was confused about who favonovel.com actual father was. Her mind was in a total mess.
Carter broke the silence. “It’s still early. Why don’t you two have a chat while I check if they’ve gotten any useful information from that guy?”
With that suggestion, Carter went out and shut the door behind him, leaving Arielle and Vinson alone in the ward.
With a wry smile, favonovel.com looked at Vinson. “You must be thinking that I’m a joke. Neither am I the glamorous Ms. Moore nor Ms. Southhall. I’m just… An illegitimate child.”
He frowned at favonovel.com words. Putting on a stern face, favonovel.com tried to correct favonovel.com understanding. “I don’t know if you’re an illegitimate child. So what if you’re one? To me, you are who you are.”
Though favonovel.com appeared to be icy-cold, his gaze was unexpectedly warm.
Arielle moved favonovel.com stiffened fingers. His unswerving attitude and that one firm sentence uttered had effectively cleared the doubts favonovel.com had and given favonovel.com the courage needed to sail through these trying times. Vinson had once again reminded favonovel.com that favonovel.com would always be Arielle, regardless of whose daughter favonovel.com was.
He continued, “We can’t choose our parents and family background, so that’s no fault of yours. It’s the adults who’ve made a mistake.”
Biting favonovel.com lips, Arielle shared, “From what I can remember, Mom wasn’t that kind of a person… I don’t know why… Why would favonovel.com do that.”
Vinson paused for two seconds. “Actually, there’s something about your mom that I think you should know. I didn’t tell you this earlier because I thought it’d be rude for me to say this.”
Stunned, favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com head immediately. “About my mom? What’s it about? I’ve looked up a lot of information about favonovel.com before going back to the Southalls. I believe I know everything about her.”
He shook his head lightly. “There’s something not recorded in those files you read.”
“What is it?”
“Gossips shared amongst the socialites in Jadeborough. It didn’t cross my mind until I saw your DNA paternity report. Maybe you should hear this.”
Clenching favonovel.com fists, Arielle fretted. “Go on…”
He looked favonovel.com in the eyes and articulated all the tittle-tattles about Maureen within the Jadeborough social circles. “You should know that your mom and Henrick got married in a flash. Based on favonovel.com backgrounds, it would’ve deemed inappropriate for favonovel.com to be married into the Southall family. The Southalls made a fortune from coal mines and then purchased properties in Jadeborough. He got married with your mom not long after settling down here. Don’t you think that this is so strange?”
“Yup,” favonovel.com acknowledged.
“Rumor has it that your mom lost favonovel.com virginity to a thug when favonovel.com went hiking one day. As soon as favonovel.com found out that favonovel.com was pregnant, favonovel.com looked for the Southalls anxiously…”
Arielle’s brows were knitted together. “You’re saying that my mom was rape… That’s why favonovel.com had me? She married my dad in order to give me a legitimate identity?”
