The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2297

Chapter 2297

After finding out where they were, Silas brought people with him to bring Millicent back to the Yards' residence, but she was already pregnant.

Silas was furious. He tried getting Millicent to get rid of this disgraceful child again and again, but Millicent avoided him every time. Under my adoptive mother's protection, Millicent gave birth to a pair of children in October. Silas was furious when he discovered this. He not only imprisoned Millicent but also took the children away from her. My adoptive mother was worried that Silas would treat the children badly and wanted to take them away secretly, but it did not go well. She was only able to retrieve me. Millicent then committed suicide and died.

Millicent was a stain on Silas, who had been clean his entire life. It was a scandal that could not be known by the public, so he used his influence and got people to suppress information about Millicent.

As time passed, Silas began to think that what he did back then was too decisive and began to feel regret and grief, but it was already too late for that.

"I'm following my grandfather's order to search for my sister, and I found you after a bit of investigation. You attended many dinner parties and auctions with Theo before. I knew you had that sandalwood box and made this a deal to sound you out." Cole was looking into my eyes with a serious expression.

I frowned, still feeling confused. "This is too much information. I can't digest it. I don't know if what you said is true or not. I've done a maternity test with Petra, and we share the same blood. I'm her daughter. I'm not from the Yard family."

Cole was not surprised by what I said. He was still looking at me calmly. "You mentioned this to Petra last time. You should remember her reaction."
