Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 130

When Adeline said this, Julie was initially taken aback, but then, it kinda made sense.

Because the first time she laid eyes on Adeline, she could tell that Adeline and Elliot were nothing alike.

Whether it was their mannerisms, their looks, there wasn’t an ounce of similarity between them.

Even for fraternal twins, there should be some common ground.

Julie couldn’t understand how two people who weren’t related by blood could become twins. Knowing that Elliot was eavesdropping. Julie deliberately said to Adeline, “Mr. Sanches cares about you so much, and you just up and left. He must be worried sick…”

“Don’t you dislike Elliot? What’s his feelings got to do with you? Adeline looked up at Julie, “Are you actually kinda into Elliot?”

“We’re talking about you, not me,” Julie retorted.

Adeline chuckled, “We are talking about Elliot. Besides, how do you know I ran away suddenly? I left a letter.”

Elliot’s veins on his forehead popped as he heard it outside. That’s what she called a letter?

She only left one line: Elliot, I love you, goodbye.

Julie decided to change the subject, “Ms. Sanches, I crashed your car, so I owe you compensation. But my financial situation doesn’t allow me to pay you all at once. So, I can only pay you bit by bit every month. But a couple of days ago, you returned all the money to me at once. L.”

‘That was Elliot’s idea. We agreed not to take your money. If you’ve got something to say, take it up with him.”

“But…”

“There’s no but. Elliot loves you, doesn’t he? He wouldn’t mind doing things for you. Just accept it.” Adeline suddenly looked at Julie with great interest, “Do you know why I ran away from home?”

Julie didn’t answer right away. In fact, she was kinda curious. Although Adeline wasn’t a biological child of the Sanches family, they had raised her for so many years. She wouldn’t run away because of that, would she?

Even though she was curious, she felt that she shouldn’t ask Adeline directly.

Adeline didn’t pay attention to Julie and just began to tell her story. “Ten years ago, before Victoria married into the Sanches family. I knew that Elliot and I were not blood related. I overheard Walker and his first wife, Elliot’s mother, Kathy, talking on her deathbed. I was picked up from a hospital dumpster by the Sanches family. Walker and Kathy had twins, but due to complications, they chose to save their son. The daughter didn’t make it. I don’t know where my biological parents are. They left me, a newborn, in the trash. Can you believe it? I’m so pretty, how could they just abandon me?”

Adeline’s expression was cold, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

Julie quietly watched Adeline. She thought she should be sympathetic, but facing the calm and indifferent Adeline, she was somewhat
