Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 1657

Chapter 1657: "Brother, I'll go with you!"

Upstairs, Erica and Issac were discussing something when Leon and Hattie walked in hand in hand.

Erica caught a glimpse of her son's expression and was somewhat surprised. Even on the day when the Riddle Group was destroyed, Leon never looked so sad.

Erica immediately stood up and walked over to ruffle Hattie's hair. "What's wrong with Leon?"

Leon took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and looked at Issac. "Father, I have a question for you."

Issac saw the seriousness in his son's eyes and straightened up as well. "What is it?"

Leon looked into Issac's eyes. "Please think carefully about whether Daphne before she disappeared is really the same person as Daphne after she disappeared."

Issac was shocked.

Erica and Hattie were also stunned.

The three of them focused their attention on Leon.

After a long time, Hattie was the first to come back to her senses. She clenched her fists tightly. "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Leon looked at Issac. "Miss Selena called me just now asking me to investigate whether Aunt Daphne's disappearance was accidental or intentional..."

"According to her status, if there isn't anything concrete, she wouldn't lower herself to remind us..."

Leon sneered,"Is it really an accident that Kiera gave birth to Nevaeh who looks exactly like Aunt Daphne? Not to mention what Aunt Daphne did afterwards... even Kiera's daughter Penelope is more important than all of The Riddle family's sons and daughters combined..."

Leon rubbed his forehead and asked, "Father, when Auntie disappeared, you were already ten years old. Did you never suspect our mother?"

Isaac froze in his seat, his eyes deep with thought.

After a while, he spoke up again. "When Nevaeh first disappeared, a girl named Kiera appeared at the orphanage."

"It just so happened that Daphne saw her because she was desperate to have another daughter after losing Nevaeh. The Riddle family sympathized with her and allowed Kiera to be raised as their own."

"And so it was that an outsider gradually replaced Nevaeh and became the true heiress of the Riddle family..."

Isaac seemed to remember something and his voice grew colder. "Mother really loved Nevaeh once upon a time. She had two sons before finally having a daughter."

"From age one to five, Mother cherished Nevaeh like a precious gemstone. When she was five years old, Mother took her out one day and suddenly she was gone."

"The Riddle family used all their resources but couldn't find her back then... now I think maybe there wasn't just one missing child at that time..." And then there's his real... mother.

This explains why Daphne acted so strangely.

Kiera is her true child which is why she would do anything for Kiera even if it meant exploiting or neglecting Nevaeh.

Daphne's greatest skill lies in how well she can love Kiera without mistreating or ignoring other children in the Riddle family.

At least on the surface level anyway; publicly speaking Daphne always doted on her 'son' and 'grandson'.

But no matter how good of an actress Daphne may be some things are simply different underneath it all.

Isaac's eyes were a bit dazed. "I remember when I was little, my mother loved spicy food, especially when she was pregnant with Nevaeh. Every dish had to have chili peppers in it. She always told me and my younger brother that this baby in her belly would be a lively and active daughter..."

"If she eats more spicy food, her daughter will have a fiery personality and won't be bullied in the future..."
