334.Chapter 334
Martin and Matthew weren’t James’ sons.
That was why, even though James had always been so cold to her, she still showed him some respect. He was just as much a victim as anyone else.
He got played when he was young, and that one scheme ended up haunting him for his whole life.
Of all four kids, only Nina and Ethan were actually James’ real children.
But even Nina and Ethan weren’t born because James wanted them.
It was only because Vivian drugged him that they were born.
Seeing Nina’s calm face, Sarah let out a long sigh. “I really wanted to help you, but I guess I’m just too old to be of any real help now.”
“Grandma, just taking care of yourself is the best help you could ever give me,” Nina said gently. “I’ve got a ton going on lately, so I might not always be around for you.
“As long as you’re okay, I can handle everything else without worrying.”
That’s exactly why she’d bumped up her plans to deal with Martin and Matthew. With so much on her plate, she couldn’t afford to drag things out any longer.
Matthew, that lunatic, had been a lot quieter lately.
At home, he treated himself like a ghost, acting like he didn’t even exist.
But Nina knew this psycho wasn’t the type to give up that easily
If he could try to kill Sarah once, he’d have no problem taking ou the whole family.
He didn’t care about the Swanson family at all. He only killed for fun.
Sarah gently squeezed Nina’s hand. “When we did those paterny tests, I kept hoping you wouldn’t turn out to be Vivian’s child. But life just loves to play cruel jokes, doesn’t it? Nina, I know you’ve been feeling down lately because of everything with Vivian.
“Having a mom like her is rough, and I wish I knew how to make it better for you. Maybe I’m not much help, but just remember, no matter what, I’ll always love you more than anyone else ever could.”
Nina lowered her gaze. Back then, she’d also wished that Vivian wasn’t her real mom.
Maybe then, she could’ve told herself it wasn’t her own mom who didn’t love her, but a stranger who’d hurt her.
But reality had other plans.
She really was Vivian’s daughter. No matter how much she wanted to run from it, that blood bond was something she’d never shake off, and it’d disgust her for the rest of her days.
“By the way,” Sarah said, “I’ve been digging into Lily’s parents lately. Anna suggested maybe it was one of your mom’s former lovers, but I couldn’t find anything else. You’re way better at this than I am. Can you look into it further?”
“Former lover?” Nina scoffed. “Come on, she was just the side chick. That guy probably never even considered marrying her.” “Side chick?” Sarah was stunned.
‘Vivian’s a college professor. Why would she ever stoop to being someone’s side piece?’ Sarah thought, totally baffled. ‘ Given her looks and status, landing a good man shouldn’t have been hard at all. How did she end up as someone’s side chick?
‘But the real kicker is that after the guy ditched her, she went after James. Was she really just after the Swanson family’s formula?’
“Let’s not talk about her anymore. I know what I’m doing, and I’ve already tracked down Lily’s parents Grandma, don’t look into it any further. It’ll only alert them,” Nina said, her tone calm ut firm.
“Okay,” Sarah replied. She thought about how she’d been digging for days, thinking she was helping Nina, but in the end, she’d probably just made things worse.
Sarah paused, her mind racing as something c help you out.”
