Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 996

Chapter 996

While they were talking, Cornelia's phone started to buzz. The caller ID showed an unknown number.

Since it was her work phone, getting calls from unknown numbers was a common thing. Thinking it was a client, she picked up the call and politely said, "Hello!"

The voice on the other end was Clair's, "Nelly, it's me, your mother! I bought loads of presents to visit you and your sister, but the security won't let me in. Which building do you live in?"

Hearing this voice made Cornelia want to hurl, "Don't call yourself my mother, I don't have a mother like you:"

Cornelia's disgust and rejection didn't faze Clair, “I think there's a big misunderstanding between us. We should sit down and hash it out.”

Cornelia retorted, "Buzz off!"

Clair responded, "My blood runs through your veins. You're my flesh and blood. Can you deny that?"

With every word Clair said, Cornelia felt more nauseous. She abruptly hung up the call and blocked the number. Just as Cornelia hung up, Tahlia's phone started to ring.

Seeing the caller ID, Tahlia's expression instantly changed,

"Cornelia..."

Cornelia took Tahlia's phone, intending to hang up and block the number as well. But then she had a thought, if Clair was so keen on buttering them up, why not use her to their advantage. So, she answered the call, "If you want to meet us, bring Tahlia’s property deeds and unfreeze her bank cards.’

Clair replied, "That's no big deal, sure thing. So can you tell me which building you live in now?"

Tahlia took out her phone, found the picture in the album and sent it to Cornelia, "She loves using this to manipulate me, making me look at it every day to make me feel indebted to her.’

Cornelia looked at the picture over and over again. The woman in the picture was much younger than the Clair she knew now, which was only natural. But Cornelia felt that the woman in the picture was more attractive than the present Clair. The woman in the picture was touching her pregnant belly with a look of warmth and gentleness.

Cornelia couldn't find any trace of the woman in the picture in the Clair she knew now. "Tahlia, look at this picture closely, don't you think the woman in the picture and the Clair we know have completely different vibes?"

Tahlia replied, "Yes, I've had that feeling more than once. I've always wondered what happened to her to make her change so much."

A daring and unbelievable idea started to form in Cornelia's mind,

"Is it possible that she's not our real mother? Could she just be a woman who looks like our mother, just pretending to be her?"
