Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1744

At that moment, Lucas was alone in his office.

He stared at the documents on his desk, a flicker of confusion crossing his expression.

He hadn’t expected things to unravel into something this complicated.

All Aurora wanted was to sort through her belongings, yet she had uncovered one of her family’s darkest secrets.

Lucas thought it over and ultimately decided not to keep anything from her.

After all, this involved her family directly. She had every right to know, not be kept in the dark by him.

How she chose to handle it would be entirely her decision.

She was an adult now—capable of dealing with her own problems.

Still, Lucas had already mapped out a safety net for her.

If things turned bad, she could come to him, and he would step in.

When that time came, he would be her strongest shield.

With that resolve firm in his mind, he knew exactly how he needed to approach the conversation.

Lucas picked up his phone and dialed Aurora without hesitation.

On the other end, she answered almost immediately.

She had been waiting anxiously for news.

Aurora knew very well that she alone couldn’t uncover the person pulling the strings so quickly.

Just as Megan had said, with Lucas’ influence, everything became less complicated.

The things that seemed impossible for her were easily within his reach.

He would investigate thoroughly, down to the last detail.

That was why, after thinking it over, Aurora had entrusted the matter to him completely.

“You mean… she’s not my mother’s child either?”

Aurora couldn’t stop herself from asking.

If that was the case, then hadn’t her mother been raising someone else’s child all these years?

Aurora couldn’t understand it. Her mother was such a strong-willed woman, so why would she do that?

What purpose did it serve? What sense did it make?

Had her mother ever considered her feelings?

She was the one who was biologically hers, yet from childhood to now, the way she’d been treated was completely different from Tessa.

No matter what she did, her mother always had something to criticize.

Back then, her mother would always say, “Your sister isn’t in good health. You should give in to her.”

But she had never once considered how Aurora felt.
