Chapter 946

Marcus said, “Recently, I noticed that granny acts weird whenever she hears the name Clair. She told me she knew someone by that name. So, she asked for a picture of Clair to see if it was the same person. I got the picture and had someone look into Clair’s background. Turns out, she’s from Rosenberg, was married once, and has a daughter there”

Cornelia asked, “You knew all this and didn’t tell me?”

Marcus replied, “I didn’t want you to know you have a mother like that. I hoped you wouldn’t ever have to know who your mother is, that you wouldn’t have to suffer like I did”

Cornelia gave a bitter smile, “Now we’re in the same boat, nobody’s looking down on anyone anymore.”

Marcus said, “If you want, I can keep Clair away from you, so she won’t bother you.”

Cornelia responded, “No worries, I actually want to see how shameless she can be

Marcus asked, “She knew you were her daughter but denied it. I don’t understand why she suddenly came to Rosenberg to recognize you?”

Cornelia replied, “Seems like you, the big boss of the Hartley Group, only care about making money and don’t understand the ugly people’s mind”

Cornelia continued, “She didnt want to recognize me before because she didn’t know my husband was you. To her, I was of no use, and could even be a hindrance to her success, so she wanted to get rid of me. This morning her daughter Natalia video called me. You were in the video, and then Clair came running to Rosenberg. Clearly, she came for you. She wants to recognize you as her son–in–law, not me as her daughter.”

Mentioning Natalia, Marcus thought of something, “Cornelia, you might have a sister out there.”

The news left Cornelia blank, and it took her a while to recover, “What did you say? Can you repeat that?”

Marcus said, “Ayden overheard Clair talking to someone, she said your father never knew he had another daughter.”

Cornelia grabbed Marcus’s hand anxiously. “Tell me, where’s my sister?”

Marcus said. “I’ve sent people to look, but the timeline doesn’t add up.”

Cornelia asked, “Explain.”

Marcus said, “Clair left Rosenberg in September 2000. She was pregnant when she left, and your father didn’t know. She wouldn’t have given birth until seven or eight months later. Natalia was born in January 2002. There’s only a year and three months in between, and it’s impossible for her to get pregnant twice in that time.”

Cornelia asked, “You mean she might have left Rosenberg pregnant with my dad’s child, and possibly aborted the baby to marry a rich man?”

Marcus replied, “That’s one possibility”

Cornelia asked, “Any other possibilities?”

Marcus said, “We can’t rule out the Reese family faking Natalia’s birth date.”

Cornelia said, “So Natalia could be my dad’s daughter, my real sister?”
