Chapter 996
While they were talking, Cornelia’s phone started to buzz The caller ID showed an unknown number
Since it was her work phone, getting calls from unknown numbers was a common thing Thinking it was a client, she
picked up the call and politely said, “Hello”
The voice on the other end was Clair’s, “Nelly, it’s me, your mother! I bought loads of presents to visit you and your
sister, but the security won’t let me in Which building do you live in?”
Hearing this voice made Comelia want to hurl. “Don’t call yourself my mother, I don’t have a mother like you”
Cornelias disgust and rejection didn’t faze Clair, “I think there’s a big misunderstanding between us. We should sit
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdown and hash it out”
Comelia retorted ‘Buzz off”
Clair responded. “My blood runs through your veins. You’re my flesh and blood. Can you deny that?”
With every word Clair said Cornelia felt more nauseous She abruptly hung up the call and blocked the number Just
as Cornelia hung up. Tahlia’s phone started to ring
Seeing the caller ID, Tahlia’s expression instantly changed, “Cornelia…”
Cornelia took Tahlia’s phone, intending to hang up and block the number as well. But then she had a thought, if Clair
was so keen on buttering them up, why not use her to their advantage So, she answered the call, “If you want to
meet us, bring Tahlia’s property deeds and unfreeze her bank cards,”
Clair replied. “That’s no big deal, sure thing. So can you tell me which building you live in now?”
“First bring what I asked for, then we’ll talk.” After saying this, Cornelia hung up the call and told Tahlia, “If you don’t
want to answer her calls, you don’t have to Tahlia nodded, put away her phone, and muttered, “I often wonder if
she’s truly my mother. Which mother would treat their child like this?”
Though she said it in passing Cornelia pondered, “Is it possible that she’s not our real mother?”
Tahlia thought for a moment, “I was born from her womb. There are pictures of her pregnant at home, so it
probably isn’t fake.”
Cornelia responded, “Who knows if it was you she was carrying”
Tahlia replied, “That’s true.”
Cornelia asked, “Do you have that picture on your phone? Can I have a look?”
Tahlia took out her phone, found the picture in the album and sent it to Cornelia, “She loves using this to manipulate
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme, making me look at it every day to make me feel indebted to her”
Cornelia looked at the picture over and over again. The woman in the picture was much younger than the Clair she
knew now, which was only natural But Comelia felt that the woman in the picture was more attractive than the
present Clair The woman in the picture was touching her pregnant belly with a look of warmth and gentleness
Cornelia couldn’t find any trace of the woman in the picture in the Clair she knew now. Tahlia, look at this picture
closely, don’t you think the woman in the picture and the Clair we know have completely different vibes?”
Tahlia replied. “Yes, I’ve had that feeling more than once. I’ve always wondered what happened to her to make her
change so much”
A daring and unbelievable idea started to form in Cornelia’s mind, ‘Is it possible that she’s not our real mother?
Could she just be a wornan who looks like our mother, just pretending to be her?”
