Chapter 278 278: I know who is behind this

"Aunt Belle, there is something I want to tell you," Eveline said, flashing her apprehensive eyes at Belle.

Belle could feel the strain grow in her bones. Eveline's eyes were filled with anguish, squeezing her gut.

"Tell me," she stated.

Eveline closed her eyes and took a big breath."I think Mom is alive," she revealed, shocking Belle.

"Erna? Alive? How is this possible? She got shot in the heart. Her chances of survival were extremely low. How can she—"

Belle abruptly stopped talking when she realized what she was saying, but Eveline's calm expression made her uncomfortable.

"So you know she was shot." Eveline smiled in unexpectedness.

"How many things have been kept secret from me, Aunt Belle?" She inquired, her eyes inquisitive.

Her heart was becoming increasingly unclear, and she suspected that everyone around her was deceiving her in some manner.

Belle dropped her eyes in shame. She understood that no matter how hard she tried to rationalize her behavior, she was at fault for keeping everything from Eveline.

She loves the girl so much that her affection prevented her from confronting the pain. But why would she claim that Erna was alive?

Because that cannot be.

"I won't excuse my conduct, Eveline, because I was merely carrying out my responsibility as your father's friend. And I was aware of why I couldn't decline. But we still want you to believe us."

The secrets we guarded were just to shield you from the person who was after your family."

Regardless, Belle would stick to her decision.

"But concerning your mother, how can you say something like that? Your mother is more."

Eveline was now confident that Belle was unaware of the scheme her father had devised without their awareness. They knew her mother died from a gunshot, but she had no idea she survived.

"I'm not lying, Aunt Belle. "I have proof," she stated confidently.

Eveline couldn't deny that she wasn't completely convinced by her mother's death, but with Kaden confirming her suspicions, she was now satisfied her intuitions weren't entirely incorrect.
