Chapter 84 Sheâs Your Sister
She hesitated and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Seeing her like this, Derrick thought she didnât dare to speak up, and his face darkened with anger.
âJust say it directly, donât be afraid. Both mom and dad are here, if thereâs really something, they will
stand up for you.â
Elva glanced at Ervin and bit her lower lip hard, wanting to speak but hesitatingâ¦
The night fell, enveloping the Lamontâs manor.
A Maybach just drove into the parking garage.
The maid hired by the Lamont family hurriedly followed along, âMr. Lamont, your mother has returned.â
Edmondâs eyes darkened.
Recently, my mother has been very well-behaved in the hospital. She hasnât caused any trouble and
obediently undergoes examinations. The main reason is that she sees herself as her older brother.
Mother liked my older brother and always listened to him.
Before my brother died, they lived in a different place. The place they moved to after my brotherâs
death.
Since the mother found this place, it indicates that her memory has been restored.
âWhere was she?â

âIn the living room, I have been waiting for you for over three hours.â The maid felt a bit scared,
considering Cicelyâs attitude.
Edmond frowned and walked quickly into the living room.

In the hospital, urged by Derrick, Elva took a deep breath and said in a mosquito-like voice, âI donât
know how I fell eitherâ¦â
In front of everyoneâs eyes, she added another sentence, âBut it seemed like someone touched me at
that time!â.
Derrick stood up abruptly.
âIt is indeed her!â he coldly looked at the expressionless Ervin, âYou and your brother are still defending
her. Hasnât Elva made it clear enough? It is her, this treacherous woman!â
âOver the years, she hasnât been by our side, who knows what kind of person she has become.â
Without much thought, Derrick was already so angry that he couldnât control his words.
âSince she came, our home has never been peacefulâ¦â
âShut up!â said Thomas, his brow furrowed deeply, his tone stern. âThatâs your sister.â
âWhat about my younger sister? Why should I bother with such a wicked-hearted sister? Itâs better not
to come back at all with someone
like herâ¦â
With a loud âsmack,â a slap interrupted his words.
Derrick covered his face and looked at the person who had hit him in astonishment.
âMomâ¦â
âDonât call me mom!â Emily trembled with anger, âShe is your sister, she has suffered so much outside
for many years, and finally came back, and this is the attitude you have toward her?â
âAre you suitable to be a big brother?â
This slap woke up Derrick and also woke up the other people in the
room.
Especially Thomas, when he saw his wife hitting someone, he walked over excitedly as if he had
discovered a new continent.
In front of everyoneâs eyes, Thomas held his wifeâs hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, exclaiming with
overwhelming joy, âEmily, you could hit someone now!â
âHahaha! You actually started hitting people! Hahaha!â
âI was so happy, hahaha! My wife knew how to fight!â
In the past, Emily was mostly like a wooden person, living in her own world, and it was even rarer to
see her being emotionally expressive like this.
The wife started hitting people, and Thomas was both happy and pleased.
Emily withdrew her hand uncomfortably and stammered, âWhat nonsense are you talking aboutâ¦.. the
children are here!â
âWhatâs the big deal? You used to hit people, and you enjoyed it. Everyone felt reassured watching.â
The crowd: â
â¦
âDerrick dared not get angry,â Thomas said, giving his son a warning glance after speaking.
Derrick couldnât help but smile bitterly, what could he say?
Mother recovered from her illness, so he was naturally happy.
But he also felt uncomfortable when he was beaten in front of so many people!
The only person he could blame was his mother, who had been sick for many years. No matter how
bad he felt, he had to endure it.
âMom, donât hit Derrick. Itâs all my fault. If you want to hit someone, hit me instead.â Elvaâs face turned
pale, she covered her mouth and choked out a s ob, like an abandoned child, tears streaming down her
face. âItâs all me, if I hadnât gotten hurt, Derrick wouldnât have been so angry.â
Emily stared at her without saying a word.
Elvaâs heart was in turmoil.
She thought about the last time Emily heard her phone, although now Rosalie has been taken away by
the police, the fact that she heard the phone still poses a great danger.
Especially now that Emily has recovered from her illness, will sheâ¦..
When she was worried, Emily walked over.
Emily picked up a tissue from the side and handed it to her. Sitting by her bedside, she asked softly,
âElva, honestly tell Mom, did you really fall down the stairs and was it Seraphina who pushed you?â
Elvaâs crying abruptly stopped, and her cheeks suddenly turned bright
red.
She hurriedly lowered her head and stammered, âI⦠Iâm not sure eitherâ¦â
Just now, Emily slapped Derrick, her thunderous temperament made her dare not accuse Claudia.
But she had already said that someone had pushed her before. If she denied it now, it would be clear
that she was lying.
Once a lie is told, countless more lies are needed to cover it up, and the arrow on the string has to be
released.
âBut someone did push me back thenâ¦â he paused, then continued, âIt might not have been my sister,
I believe in her character, so the person who pushed me must have been someone else.â
At that time, there were only her and Claudia on the steps. If it wasnât Claudia, who else could it be?
This statement seems to defend Claudia, but it indirectly accuses
Claudia as the murderer.
Emily looked at them and said, âYou guys go out first, I need to have a few words with Elva.â
Thomas hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded and said, âWeâll be waiting for you at the door.
If you need anything, just let us know.â
After finishing speaking, Derrick took the lead and walked out. Ervin dragged him out before he could
say anything else, saying, âLetâs go.â
After everyone had left, the door closed and Emily finally took a good look at her foster daughter.
Although she was sick in these years, she had not lost her memory yet. She still had the memories she
should have.
This girl has been wholeheartedly devoted to the Friedan family over the years, which is also the
reason why they love her.
As for whether she had any ulterior motives, or whether she later developed any ulterior motives, it is
unknown.
âMomâ¦â Elva sat up nervously, always filled with a sense of inexplicable fear toward her suddenly
recovered mother.
âDo you have anything to say to me?â
Emily nodded, her beautiful brown almond-shaped eyes squinting, exuding elegance and nobility. All of
her children inherited her stunning appearance, especially those eyes.
She used to envy the good looks of her three brothers in the past. Later, she specifically went to get
plastic surgery, trying to look like a younger version of Emily. It was not until she saw Claudia that she
realized that fake cannot become real. Some people are naturally born with good looks, and even if she
tries to adjust it later, it would just be imitating others.
âElva, Iâll ask you again, was there really someone who pushed you back then?â
Elva nodded, âIndeed, someone did push me, thereâs no need for me to lie⦠Mom, donât you believe
me?â
Emily lightly murmured, âI indeed didnât believe.â
In Elvaâs astonished gaze, she said meaningfully, âI saw it.â
I saw it!
What did you see?
Did she see herself fall down?
Did you still see that it wasnât Claudia who pushed?
âMom⦠Iâ¦â Elva panicked, her head starting to buzz.
