Chapter 538: That Night
The contents of the document had nothing to do with Ella, but it had everything to do with Frank. Frank and his older brother, were twins—but they were not Sean’s biological sons!
Ha! So it turned out that Sean had been manipulated by his mistress, Julia, into swapping out his own biological son and raising someone else’s child as his own.
And now, Sean had suffered a stroke and was left in a vegetative state. Ella realized that it wasn’t because of her—it was because of this very document!
Perhaps, years ago, Sean had managed to track down the original version of the document that Grandma Carter had tried to burn. The truth had hit him so hard that he had suffered a stroke from sheer rage.
Sean had been disgusting, ruthless, and heartless, trampling all over the sincerity and devotion of his legal wife. This kind of karma—truly satisfying.
The Wilson Household.
Leah was in the kitchen, preparing dinner for her two-year-old daughter.
Her little girl was a year younger than Ella’s twin boys. Back when the boys had turned one, Leah had nearly miscarried due to the stress and anger Peter had caused her.
But in the end, her daughter was born safe and sound. However, in the Wilson household, Leah was never truly welcomed.
She had made up her mind—once her daughter turned three and started preschool, she would return to the workforce. She had to earn her own money so she would never have to endure Peter and her in-laws’ mistreatment again.
Tonight, Peter and his parents had gone to a wedding banquet, leaving Leah and her daughter at home. Leah had refused to join them—her appearance was a mess, and besides, sitting beside her mother-in-law would only invite more sneers and taunts. The tension between them was suffocating, and there was no point in subjecting herself to that.
