Chapter 471

Hearing Adah's shameless words, Claire's disgust toward her only grew.

All that talk about making it up to her-did Adah really not remember how deeply she'd hurt Claire in their last life? Did she not know just how much Claire had come to hate the Linwood family back then?

If Adah truly wanted to make amends, then she should act as if she were dead— never appear in Claire's life again.

Adah gazed at Claire, her eyes brimming with a feigned tenderness. "Claire, I'm your real mother. Come home with me, sweetheart."

"Claire, you have to believe me I love you. I carried you for nine months, how could I ever bear to abandon you? It was your father, that monster! He's the one who left you at the orphanage—I had no idea."

"Now that I've finally found you, can't you just come home with me? Please?"
