Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385

Eloise felt her body freeze at the words Meredith had shouted.

Her hand trembled as it pushed hard at the door to the conjugal room.

The three inside jolted at Eloise’s sudden arrival.

“Mrs. Montgomery… What are you doing here?” Rose shot up from her seat to look uneasily at Eloise.

Meredith looked calm now that the wave of shock had passed. “Are you here to see me, Mom? What happened to your hand? What’s with the bandages?”

Her tone was now kind and the look in her eyes was delicate, leaving no traces of the dominance and bossiness that were there mere moments ago.

Eloise could not care less about Meredith’s false concern and greetings, for her eyes were currently boring into that ever-so delicate-looking appearance. “The words you just said, did you mean them?”

Meredith was stunned. She deduced that Eloise must have heard the words she shouted earlier in unrestrained anger.

“You’ve misunderstood, Mom. It’s just…”

“I did not misunderstand!” Eloise interrupted icily, a mist of wet anger tinting her eyes. “You’ve been lying to me this entire time! You were never my daughter! I can’t believe I let myself believe this horrid lie you fed me!”

“We didn’t lie, Mrs. Montgomery. You’ve misunderstood us.” Rose frantically insisted. “Meredith is your daughter. Don’t you remember her birthmark and the DNA test? Both of which prove that she is yours and Mr. Montgomery’s daughter!”

“Birthmark?” Eloise suddenly scoffed self-deprecatingly. “Now I know why the two of you went to that tattoo parlor the other day.”

“…”

At that, Meredith and Rose turned to share a look.

They had not expected Eloise to know of such a thing.

“It was never a birthmark, but a tattoo! You had someone tattoo a birthmark on you!” Eloise saw through their lie.
