Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 140

Tiffany's expression didn't shift. She merely tapped her manicured fingers twice against her knee.

"How can you prove this?"

"I had people run background checks on her!"

Serena quickly pulled out her phone, opened a folder of photos and documents, and shoved it toward Tiffany. "Look at this. These are the school records I dug up from Northampton. Eleanor Vance, Northampton Central High. It has her name and photo printed clear as day."

Tiffany took the phone and scanned the screen.

The photo showed a middle school-aged Nora wearing a blue and white uniform, her hair in a ponytail, standing on a track field with a bright, untainted smile.

Her facial features hadn't changed much; they were just far more youthful back then.

She swiped to the next slide. It was a scanned copy of a household registration file, clearly bearing the name 'Eleanor Vance,' alongside her parent's information.

Father: Arnold Vance.

Mother: Penelope Reed.

Tiffany's brow furrowed slightly.

She continued scrolling, but the very next page made her thumb freeze.

It was a scanned copy of a court ruling. The paper was yellowed and the text was slightly blurred, but the crucial lines were circled in bright red ink.

[The Defendant, Arnold Vance, is found guilty of the statutory rape of a minor and is hereby sentenced to fifteen years in prison...]

Tiffany's pupils contracted sharply.

She snapped her head up to look at Serena.

Serena had been waiting for precisely this reaction, unable to suppress the vindictive sneer twisting her lips.

"You see it now, don't you, Ms. Lancaster? Eleanor Vance. When she was ten years old, she seduced her own biological father. She's a filthy slut, just like her shameless mother. Her own mother eventually found out and called the cops. Arnold Vance got fifteen years and is still rotting in a cell."
