Chapter 461 I Didn’t Know Her

Hayley’s POV:

As Shereen stood there, her face frozen in shock, Benjamin and I exchanged a glance, both confused by her sudden reaction.

“What’s going on, Aunt Shereen?” Benjamin asked, his voice filled with concern.

Shereen quickly composed herself, shaking her head. m fine, I’m fine… Sorry, Hayley, I just lost my composure for a second.”

She avoided looking directly at me, and I couldn’t help but notice how her body seemed to shake ever so slightly.

Her behavior felt strange, like she wanted to say something but was holding back. I felt a sense of unease creeping in.

In that moment, Hera whispered in my mind, “Hayley, her scent… it feels so familiar.”

I didn’t understand. I didn’t know her, so how could that be?

Ben … Hayley … Please sit down. I’ll go change and be right back,” Shereen said, hurrying toward the stairs.

I pulled on Benjamin’s sleeve and quietly asked, “What’s going on with Aunt Shereen?”

He seemed to sense the oddity in the situation too. “It’s nothing,” he said calmly, trying to reassure me.
