NovelOnlineChapter 287: "Please calm down, Neil." Aelfric stopped Neil from leaving. "At this point, it's not confirmed whether Tiffany is actually the mother of the children. How can you justify taking them to your grandma's?" Neil realized he had been too reckless and gave an awkward smile. "I was too eager to see Connor humiliated. We need to verify if Tiffany really is the mother of these children first.” "They definitely are hers," Melinda interjected, her tone laced with bitterness. Though she didn't have concrete proof that Tiffany was the mother, her conviction was strong. If Tiffany was indeed the mother of the two kids, then she couldn't possibly be Riss. If that were true, then Tiffany remained the good-for-nothing person despised by everyone, which was exactly what Melinda hoped for.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wasn't basing her conclusion on analysis but rather on her intense desire. Worried that Aelfric might disagree, Melinda quickly rattled off ssupposed evidence. "Aelfric, you've been at the Doomsday Base for years, so you're not familiar with Tiffany. Chloe and I have known her since we were kids. I understand her better than anyone. Tiffany has always been a bit of a joke, lacking in smarts. Just think about the countless embarrassing situations she's found herself in. Beyond her low intelligence, she's also got a terrible personality. I'd rather not list all the bad things she's done. All five of her fiancés broke off their engagements. If she was as wonderful as Riss, why would they have rejected her so thoroughly? You might not know the other men, but surely you trust Dennis, your own brother? Dennis couldn't stand her after three months of engagement. Despite what Grandpa said, he insisted on breaking it off. That can't be a lie, right?" At last, Aelfric seemed persuaded by her argument and began to doubt his earlier assumptions. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded and admitted, "Perhaps I've overthought it. She was just fortunate to have saved old Mrs. Arabella Daniels and our grandpa."

Derek was wary of Aelfric getting too close to Marissa, fearing Aelfric might uncover the nature of Derek's relationship with her. Melinda, on the other hand, was merely hoping things would turn out as she had expected. They both felt a wave of relief when Aelfric nodded in agreement.
Aelfric was quite self-assured. Once he decided Marissa wasn't Riss, he dismissed her from his thoughts, deeming her unworthy of further consideration. Glancing at Derek, Aelfric added, “It's getting late. I should head home. Remember the advice I gave you." With those words, he stood up and left.
Melinda exchanged a look with Derek before she too departed. She rode hin the scar as Aelfric, and during the journey, she discreetly texted Chloe. "Chloe, I have good news. My brother looked into Tiffany and confirmed she's not Riss. She's still a failure." To sway Chloe, Melinda claimed the conclusion was based on Aelfric's investigation.
As Melinda anticipated, Chloe accepted this without question upon reading the message. She trusted Aelfric's findings. Like Melinda, Chloe also sighed in relief. As long as the impostor wasn't Riss, everything was fine. She could finally believe that Connor's public affection for Marissa, the village girl, was merely for show. Chloe was confident that getting rid of her would be easy.
