The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 587

Victor furrowed his brow slightly, keeping his expression neutral. "He does well for himself. If Riley truly is their daughter, they would certainly reward you generously."

Elaine's eyes grew even brighter. She hadn't been able to wring a single cent out of Riley, and she wasn't about to let twenty years of raising her go uncompensated. If she found Riley's biological parents, she could demand a hefty child support payout from them. "Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."

"Does she have any birthmarks?" Victor asked.

Elaine put on a thoughtful expression. Daphne stared at her intently, her grip on Victor's hand tightening as a thin layer of sweat formed on her palms.

After a long moment, Elaine shook her head. "I can't really remember. Probably not."

Victor frowned. "She's your daughter, and you don't even know if she has a birthmark?"

She didn't know if she wore a necklace, and she didn't know if she had a birthmark. What kind of parents were they? They had to be entirely negligent to be this clueless.

Elaine spoke as if her ignorance was perfectly justified. "She was already seven when we adopted her. She bathed herself. How would I know if she had a birthmark?"

Daphne looked utterly devastated but refused to give up. "Think carefully. Does she have a birthmark on her back or hips?"

"Hips..." Elaine fell deep into thought. A few seconds later, she slapped her thigh. "I remember now! Yes, she has a blue birthmark on her butt. One time she got bullied at school—probably got pushed down and scraped herself. I saw it when I was cleaning the cut."

Daphne sprang to her feet in excitement. "Where exactly is it?"

Elaine scratched her head. "I think it's on the right side. Yeah, the right cheek." She patted her own right hip to demonstrate. "Should be right here."
