The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 964

Chapter 964 The Owner of the Number

Mona’s tear–streaked face froze. She looked at Holt as if seeing a glimmer of hope.

Marie: “Enough of what? I’m finding out exactly who was calling today.”

Finished

Seeing Holt defend Mona, Marie decided to get serious. She had originally planned to wear her down slowly. But seeing Mona’s smug look after just one word from Holt, she wasn’t having it.

She immediately dialed a number. “Get over here, now.”

Mona: “What are you doing now?”

She was truly on the verge of collapsing. She had always heard the Dawson family’s daughter was difficult, but she never imagined she’d be this difficult. Was she trying to hound her to death?

Mona felt like she was suffocating.

Marie: “Didn’t you hear me? I’m going to get to the bottom of this.”

“Holt!”

Unable to do anything about Marie, Mona looked at Holt furiously. She just wanted this farce to end, immediately. She understood it now: Marie was not to be trifled with, not even a little.

Marie: “It’s no use calling him. I’m the one who wants answers.”

Mona: “…”

Her eyes were instantly laced with poison, the daggers in her gaze wishing they could kill Marie on the spot.

Holt looked at Marie, his eyes filled with impatience. “Marie, can you stop this (farce)?”

“No. This outsider is in our home, thinking she can get away with anything. I haven’t even settled the score with her for the snake incident yet.”

“It’s just as they say, stepmothers are vicious. The things she does aren’t even human. What? She’s allowed to be vicious, but I’m not allowed to hold her accountable?”

Holt: “…”

Mona: “It wasn’t me!”

“If it wasn’t you, who was it? For something like this, I don’t even need evidence to know it was

you.”

Finished

Marie was in top form, steamrolling anyone who came at her. Mona really couldn’t withstand the assault. Holt’s head was throbbing, too.

Soon, the person Marie had called arrived.

Marie immediately recited the phone number from Mona’s call log. “Find out who owns this number. Right now.”

The man who arrived was Kiel, Marie’s most capable technician, highly skilled in investigation.

Hearing the number, Kiel immediately took out his phone and first checked the number’s origin. “It’s a Hamlin number.”

The location was confirmed. Next was the identity.

Checking an identity took longer, but for Kiel, it was only a matter of ten–plus minutes.

During that time, Marie looked at Holt. “She’s been going to Hamlin constantly for the past two years. The person who just called her has a Hamlin number.”

“Dad, care to guess what the owner of this number’s relationship is to her?”

Holt, Mona: “…”

They looked at each other. Mona shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears. Holt had been arguing with her for days about the Hamlin trips. She was really going to be driven mad.

Marie: “A lover? An illegitimate child?”

Gary returned from outside just in time to hear Marie utter the most venomous words in the most casual tone. He flared up. “Marie, that’s enough! Why do you keep clinging to this?!”

The family had been fighting about this for days. Gary was traumatized. It hadn’t even been settled, and now she was stirring it up again? This bitch… she just didn’t want anyone to have a moment of peace.

Marie scoffed. “I’m ‘clinging‘ to it because it hasn’t been cleared up. We don’t have the facts.

Gary’s face turned livid. “You… you’re going too far!”

“If the Tom family’s money has been spent all these years raising an illegitimate child that has nothing to do with Dad, you’re the ones who have gone too far!”

Mona: “…

Her heart pounded in her throat. She looked at Marie, suffocating, desperately trying to read something in her eyes. She suspected Marie knew something.
