Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Fiancé Uncle 173

Chapter 173

[The present Emmalie strikes me as utterly unfamiliar. Thea, in Grandpa's absence, you must be more circumspect, observant, and cautious.]

Thea gingerly sealed the envelope. By the time she placed it back into the box, her face was already streaked with tears.

She opened the stack of photos. Most of them were snapshots of her and her grandfather, while some were family portraits.

One photo depicted her and Emmalie at the age of four. Both of them had eyes full of innocent naivete as they were causing a ruckus in Grandpa's garden.

When discovered, their grubby, mud-splattered faces were beaming with smiles.

Emmalie was still hiding behind Thea, and the two of them were grinning merrily at the camera.

Her gaze, however, wasn't drawn to their smiles but instead lingered on Emmalie's slightly chubby hand.

There was a ghastly scar on it.

Some long-buried memories from the recesses of her mind suddenly came flooding back.

One day, while everyone was asleep, Emmalie had sneaked into the kitchen, intent on showing off her culinary skills.

Coincidentally, the servant who was boiling water had left, and Emmalie Rowland ended up with a large burn scar on her

hand.

The following year, Thea was abducted and sold.

When she was retrieved, the once adorable and innocent Emmalie had undergone a drastic change in temperament. Her arms had also become incredibly fair, with no trace of the scar remaining.

Thea was suddenly intrigued. 'Could a scar as severe as that really vanish without a trace?'

Suspicion notwithstanding, without any evidence, she didn't dwell too deeply on it.

After all, when she was found, a DNA test had been specifically conducted, and Emmalie was indeed a child of the Rowland family.
