Chapter 376

Hearing that, Gregory smiled slightly, his hazel eyes fixed on me as he spoke softly but clearly, “Yes, you’re Lily, my fiancée.

It was a confirmation, a proclamation.

“Gregory…” My thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions, yet relief washed over me. “Thank you for never, ever giving up on me.”

Every time I needed help, Gregory was there, right on time. Even when someone else took my place, he schemed and plotted. Everyone else had given up on me, but not him,

Gregory took me to a cozy diner near the Myers Mansion. The waiter led us to a private booth. Only then did I realize it wasn’t just me and him. Farley was there, too.

Seeing us enter, Farley immediately stood up, his gaze fixed on me. The man, nearly sixty, suddenly started to cry. In his hands, he held the report from an international institute. Farley must have read it.

Farley addressed me, “Miss Lilliana!”

That title startled me, not because it was unexpected, but because it felt all

too familiar,

It felt like I had heard that countless times before.

All the emotions I had held back all morning suddenly crumbled, and tears rolled down my cheeks. “Farley…”

“Oh God!” Farley choked up, hastily wiping away his tears. “Thank goodness you’re safe and have grown. It’s good, really good!”

“Farley, take a seat. She’s hungry.” Gregory pulled me to sit down.

Soon, we ordered food.

After the waiter left, Farley got straight to the point, handing Gregory two sealed powder packets. “We did find something, but it wasn’t in Dorothy’s room. It was in Susan’s…”

Hearing that, I sharply asked, “Is this… poison?”

“It seems so.” Farley nodded with resentment. “Thank goodness, when you went to the hospital, Greg stopped me and told me to search the house. If I had gone to the hospital, this would have been destroyed.”

Gregory took the packets. “Did you catch the person?”

Farley answered calmly, “We did. We’ve locked her up at the address you provided.”

Gregory nodded. “Good.”

Farley asked, “Do I need to continue watching her?”

“No, you need to return to the Myers family.” Gregory served me some salad. “Eat while you listen.”

Then, he continued to Farley, “Ramona is still unconscious. It’s not my place to get involved in the Myers family matters now. As for Lily, you’ve probably guessed she can’t return to the Myers family just yet. We have to wait until Ramona wakes up.”

Farley hesitated, “But with me searching the house and catching someone today, the surveillance caught something…”

Gregory reassured him, “Don’t worry about going back there. I’ve had someone wipe the surveillance.”

Farley asked again, “What do you need me to do next?”

“Just keep an eye on the imposter still at the Myers family. Try to find out if anyone else is in besides Dorothy and Susan.” Gregory methodically instructed.

I was somewhat surprised.

There hadn’t been much time from Ramona’s collapse to the meal. But Gregory had arranged everything before Dorothy and her cronies could react.

While eating, I couldn’t help but ask Farley, “Farley, Lilliana, I mean me. Am I Susan’s biological child?”

I learned how chaotic affluent families could be when I was with the Ferguson family. Families like the Ford and the Myers families probably weren’t much better.

I wouldn’t deny when I first considered the question, the answer I hoped for

most was a no.

Unfortunately, the truth didn’t grant me my wish.

Farley sighed, “When you were born, Lady Ramona was waiting outside the delivery room. There shouldn’t be a mistake. It’s just that, over the years, Susan might have invested too much emotion in Dorothy, leading to the current situation…”
