Chapter 402
By now, it seemed that there was no point in them keeping the secret any longer.
If they didn’t spill the beans to Yuna and she inadvertently blew their cover, it would be the end of their family!
Moreover, the act of adopting Marguerite was far more serious than having her wear a disguise.
If they were exposed, they would be offending two of the top families in Stonebridge City!
Frederick, being Robert’s friend, would never side with them!
By then, even if they ran away, Robert and Frederick would definitely hunt them down!
The couple quickly summoned Yuna to the front yard and anxiously locked the main door.
Zoe was at a loss for words.
Yuna was getting impatient, her tone was full of irritation, “What’s all this about? Calling me out here and not saying anything! If Jocelyn sees us, shell tell Freddie!” Since they had to tell her anyway, Ablett looked around to make sure no one was around and dropped the bombshell, The sister Robert is looking for, is Marguerite!”
Yuna was taken aback and her brain froze, unable to comprehend, “What did you just say?!”
Her high-pitched voice put the couple on high alert. Zoe, in her anxiety, scolded Yuna, “Are you trying to get us killed? Keep it down! What if that old hag Jocelyn hear us?*
Yuna rubbed her aching arm, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, “How could Marguerite be Robert’s sister? Aren’t we twins?”
Ablett sighed, his face twisted in distress, “Marguerite is adopted. Your mother and Marguerite’s birth mother look alike, and they were pregnant at the same time. Who would have guessed that you two would look exactly the same when you were born! Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
When I went to adopt Marguerite, I was taken aback by her looks too!”
Yuna was unable to recover from the shock.
“Why did you bring that bitch home in the first place?”
“When Marguerite was born, she had a valuable bracelet on her foot, the original one on Hayes’ hand. At first, we only wanted the bracelet on Marguerite’s foot, not to adopt her. But who knew that the bracelet had a password and couldn’t be removed immediately, so we had to adopt her along with it. Our fortune from the casino is because we sold that bracelet.”
Yuna, shocked, stepped back until her back hit the cold wall. She felt lost and jealous, “So, Marguerite isn’t my twin sister, and she’s the heiress of a top family in Stonebridge City, right?”
Zoe and Ablett glanced at each other and nodded in unison, “Right. So you have to keep this a secret. If the Fitzgeralds find out that we adopted their heiress and treated her so badly, we’ll all go to hell! Understand?”
Yuna’s face fell, and she could only express her emotions with a cold laugh.
Why was it that she, who looked exactly like Marguerite, was born into a lowly casino, while Marguerite was born as the heiress of a top family? It was all so unfair!
But then, she looked at Zoe and Ablett with hope, “Mom, Dad, since you were able to get close to Marguerite so easily back then, does it mean you had a good relationship with the Fitzgerald family? Do they trust you? Why don’t you go find the Fitzgerald family again, maybe they can help us?”
Upon hearing it, the couple exchanged glances. Their low status in the Fitzgerald family was hard to admit, even to their daughter.
Zoe cleared her throat, “It’s not what you think!”
“Then what is it?” Yuna was getting anxious.
“Don’t ask too many questions, it’s not good for you to know too much. You’re always around Mr. Winston now, don’t let anything slip!”
Ablett quickly took over the conversation, not giving Yuna any chance to speak.
Suddenly, Yuna had a strong sense of danger.
If Marguerite and Robert recognized each other, and considering Marguerite’s constant contact with Hayes Winston, wouldn’t it be easy for Marguerite to find Hayes with the power of the Fitzgerald family? By then, her situation would be even more difficult!
She couldn’t interfere with the Fitzgerald family’s search for Marguerite, but she could deal with Hayes, couldn’t she?
Right! She absolutely couldn’t let that bastard Hayes stick around!
She had to find a way to get rid of this trouble!
