Chapter 67

Perhaps Rena’s deception was so artfully executed that Eloise found herself believing it.

Following their dinner, Rena retreated to her room and retrieved a large box, from which she extracted a photo album.

Carefully opening its pages, a photograph of her mother during her youth graced its surface.

Rena caressed it gently, a touch filled with longing.

Her mother had passed away when she was merely ten years old.

A year later, her father married Eloise.

Rena could vividly recall the frequent quarrels between her father and Eloise during that time.

On one occasion, Eloise wept inconsolably and queried why her husband treated someone else’s child so well while refusing to let her bear their own child.

It was then that Rena discovered she was not Darren’s biological daughter.

Fearful of sudden abandonment, she would sometimes indulge in childish demands for a sibling whenever Darren and Eloise did not quarrel.
