The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Secret of Estelle’s Parentage?

Estelle Lockwood was intrigued. "A secret about me?"

Stella York chuckled lightly. "I happened to stumble upon it. I don’t know if it’s true or not. You can believe it if you want, Miss Lockwood. If not, you can just listen to it as an amusing story."

Estelle Lockwood nodded. "Please, go on."

"Aren’t you curious, Miss Lockwood, why the Lockwood Family treats you this way even though you’re their biological daughter? I believe Rose Lowell told you it was because of that fortune teller, correct?"

Estelle Lockwood’s eyes narrowed. It seemed Stella York really did know quite a lot.

Yes, there was indeed a fortune teller.

After she was born, the story went that Rose Lowell found that fortune teller, who predicted she was a Jinx. That’s why Rose Lowell abandoned her and brought back the "Lucky Star," Noelle Lockwood, from an orphanage.

Estelle Lockwood asked, "So, was there no fortune teller at all? Was it just an excuse for Rose Lowell to get rid of me?"

"No."

But to her surprise, Stella York shook her head. "That fortune teller did exist, and Rose Lowell did abandon you because of what he said."

Estelle Lockwood raised an eyebrow, sensing there was more to the story.

"However..."

As expected, Stella York continued, "But that fortune teller was hired by Austin Lockwood."

Estelle Lockwood’s eyes narrowed sharply.

Stella York said, "All I know is that the day before the fortune teller met with Rose Lowell, he met with both Austin Lockwood and Old Mr. Lockwood. After that, the rumors started about you being a Jinx and Noelle Lockwood being a Lucky Star."

"The outside world believes that abandoning you was Rose Lowell’s doing alone, and that Old Mr. Lockwood and Austin Lockwood knew nothing about it. They say that only after they couldn’t find you did they go to an orphanage to adopt Noelle Lockwood."

"And the reason for adopting Noelle Lockwood was supposedly because Rose Lowell had a master determine she was a ’Lucky Star’ and insisted on the adoption. They say Austin Lockwood had no choice but to agree."

"Throughout this whole affair, it seems Austin Lockwood never expressed any opinion of his own."

"Whether it was abandoning his biological daughter or adopting a fake one, it was all supposedly Rose Lowell’s doing."

Stella York said slowly, "But if we assume that Austin Lockwood was the one who hired the fortune teller... Miss Lockwood, don’t you think this whole situation seems rife with conspiracy?"

Stella York said it all in one breath, and Estelle Lockwood’s eyes narrowed.

’She has a point...’

That woman, Rose Lowell... to put it nicely, she was a worrier. To put it bluntly, she was a fool, easily manipulated.

Rose Lowell believed in fortune-telling, so she couldn’t wait to get rid of Estelle after hearing she was a ’Jinx.’

She was afraid the Jinx would bring her misfortune.

So, as her husband, did Austin Lockwood know this about her?

Austin Lockwood knew.

So, Austin Lockwood bribed a fortune teller to exaggerate things, forcing Rose Lowell to abandon Estelle...

’But why would Austin Lockwood do that? And Old Mr. Lockwood, too...’

Estelle Lockwood suddenly had a thought: the ones who had wanted to get rid of her the most were actually Austin Lockwood and Old Mr. Lockwood, not Rose Lowell.

Rose Lowell had been used from start to finish, but the masterminds were that father-son duo!

Yet Rose Lowell was the one taking all the blame, while Austin Lockwood and Old Mr. Lockwood acted as if they were invisible.

But logically, she was Austin Lockwood’s biological daughter. What reason could he and Old Mr. Lockwood possibly have to abandon her?

Unless...
