Mrs. Allen carefully watched Poppy’s expression.

Poppy quickly presented herself as a fierce figure. “Who are you to spout such nonsense? Miss Isla is the daughter of the Olsen family. How could she possibly be my daughter?!”

Yet, Mrs. Allen sensitively caught a flash of panic in her

eyes.

She stepped forward and said, “You’re so protective of Isla but so hateful toward Keira. What kind of mother would act like this toward her biological daughter?”

A fierce look flashed through Poppy’s eyes, and then she lifted her head with a cold laugh. “What’s wrong with hating her? It was so difficult to get pregnant, and when I did, it turned out not to be a boy, which ruined my chance of gaining status through my child! A losing proposition, I was generous not to drown her right then and there. I was kind enough to raise her! As for Miss Isla, Taylor loves her so much, and only by currying favor with Miss Isla can I have a good life in the Olsen family! What do you know, meddling in our

That attitude was the epitome of a woman who favored sons over daughters and was selfish to the

She continued cursing toward the doorway.

Mrs. Allen turned around and walked toward the car

Mr. Allen frowned. “It sounds like what she said makes

“Indeed, it does.”

Mr. Allen sighed. “Am I overthinking?”

“On the contrary, I think your speculation is even

more accurate,” said Mrs. Allen.

Mr. Allen was startled. “Why?”

Mrs. Allen looked at Poppy. “She acts really convincingly, but have you ever seen a shrew speak so logically? And patiently explaining so much to us?

When a woman explains too much, there’s only one thing it may indicate.”

“What is it?”
