The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2297



After finding out where they were, Silas brought people with him to bring Millicent back to the Yards' residence, but she was already pregnant.

Silas was furious. He tried getting Millicent to get rid of this disgraceful child again and again, but Millicent avoided him every time. Under my adoptive mother's protection, Millicent gave birth to a pair of children in October. Silas was furious when he discovered this. He not only imprisoned Millicent but also took the children away from her.

My adoptive mother was worried that Silas would treat the children badly and wanted to take them away secretly, but it did not go well. She was only able to retrieve me. Millicent then committed suicide and died.

Millicent was a stain on Silas, who had been clean his entire life. It was a scandal that could not be known by the public, so he used his influence and got people to suppress information about Millicent.

As time passed, Silas began to think that what he did back then was too decisive and began to feel regret and grief, but it was already too late for that.

"I'm following my grandfather's order to search for my sister, and I found you after a bit of investigation. You attended many dinner parties and auctions with Theo before. I knew you had that sandalwood box and made this a deal to sound you out." Cole was looking into my eyes with a serious expression.

I frowned, still feeling confused. "This is too much information. I can't digest it. I don't know if what you said is true or not. I've done a maternity test with Petra, and we share the same blood. I'm her daughter. I'm not from the Yard family."

Cole was not surprised by what I said. He was still looking at me calmly. "You mentioned this to Petra last time. You should remember her reaction." The last time I brought it up, Petra got angry.

Cole could guess the result judging from my expression. He then asked, "Did you mention the name Millicent?"

"I did. She was furious. She also reacted very strangely."

"That's right. Petra knew our mother and was her classmate. As for why she came to you and said you were her daughter, the answer is simple. She wanted to protect you."

Cole's words puzzled me, and I looked at him blankly. "Protect me?"

"As children of the Yards, kidnapping is a common occurrence. Our family gained too many enemies in the early years. I was kidnapped three times when was a child. Fortunately, they were all near misses. Grandpa released news this

you. Our enemies are bound to track you as well. If they find you first, you'll be in danger. As a good friend of my mother's, Petra probably wanted to protect you. She was one step ahead and recognized you as her daughter so that even if I were to come looking for you, those people would not act rashly." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"My mind is a mess now. Let me think about it."

"Yes, I asked you to investigate this so that you wouldn't be confused when you learned the truth. I didn't expect it to still be the same after the investigation," Cole said. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"Let's leave it at this for now. I'm leaving first."

I got up after that and left the coffee house regardless of the situation.

I had been lingering on the road since then.

Whose daughter was I?

Millicent or Petra?

Was Cole telling the truth or not? Should I ask Petra again?

These questions lingered in my mind.

I still had Theo. I could go home and discuss it with him first!

Thinking of this, I quickened my pace and took a taxi back to Regal Villa.
