A chilly tension filled the car, the atmosphere as frosty as the air seemed.
Just as Brian mustered the courage to break the silence, Rosalynn’s phone interrupted with its ring.
She glanced at the screen, her expression softening instantly.
“Hello, Mrs. Moreno,” she answered.
“Rosa, would you and Brian come over to my place tonight?”
A visit to the Moreno family?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe idea caused Rosalynn’s brow to crease, but despite her reluctance to accompany Brian, she
responded with unexpected eagerness, “Sure.”
Curiosity sparked within her. She was keen to discover the patriarch of the Moreno family and to
discern the dynamics of their household.
Arcadia Estates was recognized as the premier location for villas in Skrix, home to the affluent Moreno
family.
Each home stood alone, encircled by tall walls and expansive yards.
The villas, constructed in a picturesque garden-style design, offered a blend of stunning vistas and a
touch of antiquity.
In front of the villa’s garden, Selina engaged in a quiet conversation with her father.
“Did you place the jade pendant inside the grave?”
“Yes,” he confirmed, a look of agitation apparent on his face.
“Selina, can it really be true? Is Rosalynn actually Gail’s daughter?
Is there any mistake?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelina’s gaze was unwavering as she responded, “Calm down. I wish I were mistaken too, but brace
yourself. It appears that Rosalynn belongs to the Moreno family.”
Her father swallowed nervously, his voice barely above a whisper.
“What are the odds she would end up married to Brian?”
A glint of irritation crossed Selina’s eyes.
“You should only blame yourself. You wanted me to take the place in the Moreno family, but why didn’t
you cover your tracks completely by getting rid of the child?”
Her father sputtered, discomfort written all over his face.
“I couldn’t. It was a human life. Our family owed so much to the Moreno family. That’s why I spared the
child.”
Selina’s scoff was cold and mocking.
