Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 530

The snow seemed to have become heavier, but it was warm and cozy in the room. The old man glanced at Clarissa before speaking.

“There had once been a renowned family back in the sixties, and the patriarch was a financier. He had amassed a huge fortune, and his family was high up the social ladder. Later on, because of changes in the nation’s policies, he moved abroad before getting married and starting a family of his own. Though he was highly educated, he was a traditional man. His wife was a woman of similar standing, and she was elegant and proper—the very picture of a perfect wife.”

“After their marriage, the couple got along swimmingly. One year later, the matriarch gave birth to a baby. Unfortunately, she passed away during labor due to complications.”

“The outside world knew she had given birth to a daughter, but everyone in the family knew that she had actually had twin daughters. This was kept a secret from everyone outside of the family, though.”

“Twins?” Clarissa was surprised, perhaps because she herself originally had twins.

The old man didn’t even seem to notice that she had spoken, and continued with his story.

“The younger twin had been born with polio. After an injection, she couldn’t move her legs at all, and she spent all her time in the attic. Her father was a traditional man who wouldn’t allow himself to be humiliated, so he never mentioned that he had twin daughters. This was why the outside world never knew about the existence of the younger twin. Over time, the healthy daughter grew up and blossomed into a beautiful young lady. She was always the center of attention, and eventually caught the eye of a large film production company.”

“A film production company?” This surprised Clarissa again. Iris owned such a company as well. Was there some sort of link between them?
