Chapter 108

Matthew's words silenced Benedict.

Indeed, he had suspected it.

Before Eliza's birthday, they had never realized there was a problem with the order of their birthdays.

It wasn't until Nolan pointed it out that they realized that, despite being the same age, Sophie's birthday was earlier than Eliza's. Sophic should have been the older sister, but she was the younger one.

And they had never paid attention to such a detail before.

The guilt-ridden Benedict quickly figured out why.

Since they had even forgotten Eliza's birthday, there was no way they could have noticed the order.

Although their father later explained to them that Sophie had changed her birthday to their mother's death anniversary.

But he never told them about this before.

Benedict thought, 'Die he not tell us because he didn't think it was a big deal?

'Or... is there really some unspeakable secret?'

Benedict tossed and turned all night after returning that day.

In the end, he spent the entire night convincing himself.

He thought to himself, 'Father has always been a man of high moral character and integrity. Moreover, when Mother was alive, they were deeply in love. Therefore, Father would never betray Mother'

Holding onto this thought, Benedict did not doubt anything again.

He even persuaded Dylan, who had the same doubts, telling them not to overthink it.

After all, Nolan and his father were rivals in the court, so Nolan must be trying to slander his father's character.

Today, Matthew was used by Eliza to deliberately expose all of this.
