Chapter 141: To seduce me?
"Grandma wanted to kill our mother in the past. That’s why Father sent her to Elmswood on Alora’s request," Elliot informed Venus, who was on the bed. "We failed to understand our own sister," he added.
"But when did Grandma plan to do all this?" asked Venus with a confused glance. She had caught the cold, so she had a warm cup of tea in her hands.
"Even before Alora was born. The day Mother gave birth to our sister, Grandma had instructed the midwives to kill our mother later. However, they both perished thanks to our sister. This is what a Lunar Goddess, Stella, told Alora and Prince Magnus. She is the one, who blessed Alora with those eyes," Elliot explained to his sister.
Venus was upset to learn that. She never thought her grandmother would think something like this for Rhea. She sipped the remaining tea and placed the cup on the bedside table.
"So, Grandma won’t ever return," Venus inquired.
"I don’t think so. Father will go to see Grandma, but she’s not allowed to come here. If Sister Venus noticed, the hatred we carried in our hearts for our big sister was because of Grandma," Elliot opined.
"Hmm. You are right." She recalled how Madam Aubrey always told her to stay away from Alora. She used to call Alora a jinx. And she learned only to carry hate toward her sister in the process.
Elliot felt that his sister needed rest. He told her he would leave and stood up. "Take some rest," he said and he left her room.
As the doors shut, Venus blankly stared at the ceiling of her room. Silent tears escaped her eyes, which she didn’t wipe. She didn’t even realize the presence of her mother in the room unless Rhea pronounced her name.
