Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 1452 Confrontation and Contest

"Aunt Celine, your storytelling skills are truly amazing. You know the details so well, and everything is logically sound. Why do I feel like you are the mastermind behind this whole thing?" Her eyes swiftly locked onto mine before quickly returning to normal.

She remained composed as ever. "Do you think we gave up investigating over these years? It's no coincidence. Later, our people found Clark's body, which finally put an end to any leads regarding Rory."

I smiled. This twist eliminated Clark, leaving me wondering how she'd react if faced with him again.

"Not long ago, there was news that Rory was still alive. Stella rushed to the scene to bring him back but was ambushed by ill-intentioned people, resulting in her getting serious injuries. Her leg still hasn't fully recovered."

Her words were succinct yet captivating, completely changing the facts. Not only did she frame my father as the one who betrayed Louis, but she also portrayed me as an imposter.

In her narrative, the real Stella had long been dead.

I couldn't help but admire her control. Despite being at a disadvantage, she orchestrated a major turnaround.

Her words left me trapped. If I tried to claim my identity now, it would only backfire.
