The observant netizens soon figured out the mysterious woman’s identity. It turned out she was one of the Wynters from D City.
The Wynters was affiliated with the Smallwoods. The ones affiliated with both families were none other than Kayla and her daughter, Shermaine.
Shermaine was a renowned celebrity who had been thrown behind bars for attempted murder. The person she had been going after was none other than the talk of the town—Clarissa.
Oh, God! What a surprise! It turns out they’re related to one another one way or another! This is even more epic than the year’s blockbuster movie!
Why has this mysterious woman made up her mind to defend her niece’s foe? Has Clarissa always been such an amiable woman? Is something wrong with Mrs. Wynter?”
Some of the netizens found out about how the Wynters had picked on Tyson Corporation after Matthew turned down Shermaine’s proposal.
I’m confused by the things going on! Has something occurred within the past few years? Why has Mrs. Wynter changed her mind and started siding with their foes?
The netizens couldn’t wait to figure out the things going on behind the scenes amongst those from the upper echelon.
The topic had taken the internet by storm—all sorts of conspiracy theories could be found. Nonetheless, most of the netizens found the theories unreliable.
As they couldn’t get their hands on any useful intel, they had no choice but to wait. They had a hunch it would soon blow up and take everyone by surprise.
Once again, Hilary’s effort was to no avail. To her surprise, the mysterious woman who had shown up out of nowhere was Shermaine’s aunt.
Initially, she was clueless about Sandra’s identity. However, when the netizens shared their findings with others on the internet, she had a bad feeling about it.
Why is Mrs. Wynter trying to defend Clarissa? She’s Shermaine’s aunt! Isn’t she supposed to pick on Clarissa and defend Shermaine instead?
Hilary was utterly confused as she couldn’t figure out the sort of relationship Sandra and Clarissa had. It was then she received another call from Shermaine
Shermaine didn’t bother to hold back with her words and took her anger out on Hilary.
“Have you lost your mind? What are you trying to do? Can you stop making a clown out of yourself? Will you ever stop making rash decisions?”
Hilary was taken aback by Shermaine’s response as the young woman was no longer the same.
The last time Hilary dropped by the prison to visit Shermaine, the latter had a calm and collected front as if she couldn’t be bothered by anything.
That was precisely the reason Hilary thought Shermaine had learned her lesson after spending such a long time behind bars.
To her surprise, those were nothing more than an act. Shermaine’s response had indicated she was aware of something important.
Hilary asked, “S-Shermaine, have you figured out—”
“What am I supposed to have figured out? Hilary, you’re the only fool who thinks you’re able to keep everyone else in the dark! Do you really think Clarissa won’t retaliate against you? Do you think you get to take advantage of her just because you’re her mother?”
“I-I—I’m her mother!”
“How are you going to convince others when you can’t even convince yourself! Clarissa won’t even bother to waste her time with you!”
“H-Have you guys figured it out? I-It’s impossible! It’s fine if you’re aware of the truth, but she can’t have figured out too! N-No way!”
Shermaine sneered and ridiculed Hilary on the other end as she finally regained composure after taking things out on her.
She couldn’t stop making fun of the helpless woman who had been expressing her disbelief over and over again.
Hilary thought Clarissa would never figure out the secret she had intended to take with her to her grave.
As a result, she stuttered, “N-No! It’s impossible! If she’s aware of the truth, she’s not going to play along with me!”
Clarissa will definitely come after me and confront me in person if she’s aware I’m not her biological mother! In fact, she’s going to approach the Smallwoods and tell them the truth!
There’s no way she’s going to keep them in the dark when she can easily get herself another strong backing in life as the sole heiress of the Smallwoods! It’s impossible for her to remain one of the Quigleys who possess nothing!
Hilary thought she would get to take the secret to her grave with her as she did a great job keeping everyone in the dark.
Judy was the only one she could think of as she was one of the mere few who were aware of the truth.
“Nothing is impossible! Otherwise, why has the Wynters done Clarissa such a huge favor? You don’t think they have nothing better to do, do you?”
“She’s your aunt, isn’t she? Why has she—”
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re the only foolish one who thinks you’re doing a great job keeping others in the dark! Since you have gone overboard, Clarissa won’t even hesitate to take you out!”
Hilary was intimidated by the things Shermaine had brought up.
