Chapter 1237 Killing three birds with one stone
However, what surprised Amelia was that Alice didn’t
know that Sumasa wasn’t from the Clark family.
But Herb had mentioned that he had overheard his
grandparents talking when he was a child, which was
how he found out. It was normal for Alice, who was
only one year younger than Sumasa, not to know this
secret.
Amelia thought that giving Alice a tube of blood
and letting her personally test that she wasn’t from
