Chapter 269
Fredencks gaze was as sharp as a hawk “Can you stand by your words?”
“Absolutely?” Theima affirmed, her eyes twinkling with unhidden ambition as she glanced of her hand, which was held by Chuck “I wouldn’t cross anyone, especially
not moner
Understanding the hint in Frederick’s eyes. Chuck slowly let go of her hand
Thelma, eager as a beaver, quickly grabbed the bank card and lovingly examined it before carefully tucking it into her purse
In a hushed voice, Chuck muttered, “So Yuna’s sister is adopted Adoption is fine, but why would Mr Winston be deceived?”
With a smug grin, Thelma parted her purse, “Who knows what that couple was thinking. They often do strange things”
Fredenck seized the opportunity “Such as?”
Thelma looked up at the distinguished man. Figuring she had nothing to lose now, she decided to spill the beans. “Like they had a fortune teller predict the girl’s future. The fortune teller said that the girl was bom to be their nemesis. They got scared and tried to give her away, but no one wanted her
But what you don’t know is that ever since the girl came to their home, the Lockwoods became nch! They opened a casino in Stonebridge City and even bought a car Sc, the girl was not a nemesis, but a lucky charm
Fredenck pondered. “So, who did the girl end up with? Was it an old lady?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
You mean Laverne? Yes she took her in! The Lockwoods dumped her in a trash heap, and Laverne saved her
That girl was a real looker when she was young, with pretty eyes and thick eyebrows. She is as beautiful as Yuna, but somehow, she stands out more.”
These charactenstics should have excluded Marguente, but for some reason, Frederick couldn’t shake her image from his mind.
He paused for a moment before asking. “Does she have a name?”
Thelma shrugged. 1 don’t know I didn’t interact much with Laveme. Plus, the year they were bom was the millennium, a lot of women in llage were pregnant and i was always busy. A year later I moved to Brightwater Cove, so I don’t know much about what happened to them.”
Fredenck asked, “When did the Lockwood family move to Stonebridge City“”
Thelma’s voice was filled with disdain for the Lockwoods. They moved as soon as they hit the jackpot! Even sooner than mel i heard from the mi replaced me that the Lockwoods hadn’t retumed to Manna Shores Village for seven or eight years
After that, it was just Laveme and the girl. Then, I heard Laverne’s old house caught fire, and she and the girl were homeless and had to move to the slums of Stonebridge City with the help of the community”
Fredencks thoughts were racing. “Are you sure it was the adopted girl who moved with Laverne to the slums and not Yuna?”
“Of course! It’s obvious if you think about it. The Lockwoods pampered Yuna, and they would never let their daughter live in the slums!”
A fire. The slums.
So the girl adopted by the Lockwoods was the one who had saved his life fifteen years ago!
Frudenck’s eyes were shining with anticipation, and the image of Marquente kept floating in his mind. “After the fire, was the girl’s face disfigured
No, just the house was destroyed Laverne and the girl werent severely injured”
This was the last piece of information Frederick needed
nema, fearing shed said too much, quickly added, “But these are all rumors. I didn’t see anything with my own eyes!”
