Chapter 1125
Cornelia asked, “Remember that will in my granny’s diary?”
Marcus nodded, “Yeah, sure.”
Cornelia went on, “Do you feel sorry for the mother who wrote that letter? If she were still alive, she would’ve
raised her kid well,”
Marcus cut her off, “You found out, didn’t you?”
Cornelia was taken aback for a moment, then after a few seconds, she came back to her senses, “When did you
find out?”
Marcus replied, “When I saw that letter, I suspected it might have been written by your granny. So, I had same
people look into it and they found some bits and pieces.”
Cornelia asked urgently, “What did they find?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarcus answered, “Turns out, your grandpa Walter never existed. He was a figment of your granny’s imagination.
She came to Rosenberg with your father and told everyone her husband had passed away. And this unseen
husband was Walter.”
Cornelia bitterly said, “You saw through it, but I didn’t.”
Marcus comforted her gently, “You got too caught
caring for your granny and forgot to think critically. Don’t beat yourself up.”
Cornelia asked, “So how did you find out who my real grandpa was?”
Marcus replied, “I haven’t found out who your real grandpa is yet. After your granny got to Rosenberg with your
dad, she changed their names. You know, back in those days, identity verifications were pretty lax. Your granny
coughed up some dough, found a sponsor, and easily got a new identity. So, nobody in Rosenberg who knew her
had any idea who she was before. Without a trace of her old identity, I couldn’t find your real grandpa.”
Cornelia knew why Marcus couldn’t find out, but Alfredo could. Because Alfredo knew her granny, had seen her,
and knew about her past. As long as he saw a photo of her granny, he would know who she was.
But Marcus was different. He hadn’t seen what her granny looked like when she was young, so naturally, it would
take more time, money, and effort to
find out.
Cornelia said, “You don’t have to dig anymore. None of this matters.”
Marcus asked, “Did you find it?”
Cornelia said, “Jeremy, can you not be so damn smart? I didn’t even say anything, yet you know everything.”
Marcus hugged her and chuckled, “Did Alfredo help you find it? Was he worried about you having some wicked plan
for Grandpa Augustine?”
“Yes, he helped me find it.” Cornelia didn’t want to hide anything from Marcus, but she had to keep this secret from
Alfredo. She would keep the secret that Grandpa Augustine was her real grandpa forever and act as if nothing had
happened
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut the next second, Marcus revealed the secret Cornelia wanted to hide, “The first time Grandpa Augustine saw
you, he took a real shining to you. I guess that’s the power of blood ties.”
Cornelia looked at him in surprise, “Who told you Grandpa Augustine was my real grandpa?”
Marcus said, “I just figured it out.”
Cornelia asked. “How did you figure it out?”
Marcus continued, “If we look at it from different perspectives, we can see that what’s recorded in Grandpa
Augustine’s and Granny Rebecca’s diaries. actually matches. Granny Rebecca’s diary said your father was a
foundling, but the DNA test results between you and Granny Rebecca show you’re related. There must be a
contradiction somewhere. But if we follow this lead, everything becomes clear.”
Cornelia couldn’t help but admire, “I’m so lucky to be your wife, not your enemy. Otherwise, I might’ve died at your
hands without even knowing”
Marcus laughed, ‘Does Alfredo not want you to tell Grandpa Augustine the truth?”
Cornelia asked, “Jeremy, are you even human? Were you by my side when Alfredo talked to me?”
Marcus replied, “It was the distraught look on your face when you came back that tipped me off.”
