The first ti Selena Kensington ca over, she left so money for her.
She originally planned to use this money as Miranda Kensington’s dowry, but she didn’t expect Miranda to do such a thing.
Selena shook her head slightly, "As long as she tells so things, I can let her go."
Cassia Lawson looked puzzled, "Miranda, does she know sothing else?"
Selena smiled a little, "You’ll have to ask her about that."
Cassia Lawson was taken aback for a mont and quickly called Miranda over.
Miranda Kensington ca over reluctantly, "What is it, Mom!"
Cassia Lawson pulled her and forcibly pressed her to sit down.
"Sit down! Don’t move!"
"If you try to run, I’ll smack you!"
Realizing that Selena and Hugh Kensington ca for so important matters this ti, Cassia Lawson put on a rare serious expression.
Miranda Kensington shrank a little, still sowhat afraid of her mother.
Once Miranda sat down, Cassia Lawson smiled at Selena.
"You can ask whatever you want."
Selena raised her eyes and looked at Miranda, "You just said I’m not your cousin, what does that an?"
Miranda muttered discontentedly, "Just what it says!"
Cassia Lawson angrily slapped the back of her head, "You brat, speak properly!"
Miranda glared wide-eyed, very displeased, "Mom! Are you actually hitting for an outsider?!"
"Selie is your cousin!"
"I said she’s not my cousin!"
Miranda shouted sharply again.
"You!"
Cassia Lawson was furious and instinctively wanted to find sothing handy like a stick...
For a mont, Miranda was also frightened.
Selena stopped Cassia Lawson’s actions, "Auntie, don’t rush, let talk to her."
"Catherine Blanchett previously transferred so money to you, right?"
Miranda looked at her warily, "What are you talking about, I don’t know!"
Selena chuckled, speaking leisurely, "Whether you know or not doesn’t matter; I just want to tell you, the bank used for her transaction is from my mother-in-law’s family side, retrieving your money is quite effortless."
Miranda said incredulously, "You?! Impossible!..."
Even as she spoke, there wasn’t much confidence in her tone.
Even the defiance in her movents gradually slowed.
Seeing this, Selena knew Miranda was giving in.
"Of course, if you’re willing to tell so things, I not only won’t mind what happened before but can also give you another sum. Enough for you to live comfortably."
Selena continued to increase the stakes.
Upon hearing this, Miranda was already tempted.
She had been on edge before, fearing Selena’s retaliation.
But now Selena said she wouldn’t mind and would additionally give her so money...
Miranda looked at her, "I can’t guarantee I’ll definitely know what you want to ask..."
"I know that; just tell what you do know."
After Selena said this, Miranda stopped struggling.
"Go ahead and ask."
"Back to the previous question, why are you so adamant that I’m not your cousin?"
Selena asked.
From the mont Miranda uttered those words, Selena started to ponder.
She knew clearly that Miranda couldn’t have said such things so confidently.
Even if Miranda refused to acknowledge, their blood relation was undeniable to her, unless...
Miranda paused for a mont before revealing shocking news to those present.
"Uncle isn’t Dad’s real younger brother."
"So, you’re not really my cousin, nor my cousin brother!"
After sharing this news, Miranda abruptly felt much lighter.
"What?!!!!!"
But none of the people present felt lighter.
Cassia Lawson widened her eyes, "Miranda, you can’t just say things like that!"
Unhappy with Cassia Lawson’s doubt, Miranda bluntly revealed the secret hidden in her heart.
"Mom, I’m serious! This is sothing Dad admitted himself when he was drunk!"
At the ti, Miranda didn’t expect that her father would say sothing like this in a drunken stupor.
Selena’s eyes darkened, "Tell us more."
Miranda huffed lightly, "One ti, Dad got drunk. I was originally going to give him so sober-up soup, but he wouldn’t listen to and kept muttering odd things."
"I got closer to hear and managed to make out so of it."
"Turns out, Uncle was picked up by Grandpa in the snow years ago, back then Uncle only had a few belongings on him. Grandpa thought it was fate that Uncle shared the surna Kensington, so he took him in."
"Later, when Grandpa and Grandma passed away due to illness, only Dad knew about this..."
Having finished, Miranda glanced at them, noting their still incredulous looks.
She quickly added, "These words are absolutely true! Dad himself admitted he was always jealous of Uncle, claiming Uncle was better in every way, since Uncle ca, Grandpa and Grandma focused solely on him..."
Hugh Kensington’s expression was complex, never having expected that his father was actually picked up by the Kensington Family.
And what was his father’s true identity then?
Cassia Lawson was equally shocked, "This... Soren never ntioned anything like this to ..."
Miranda looked at her, "Mom, this was Dad’s deeply hidden secret. If it weren’t for catching him drunk, I might not have ever known!"
Selena hadn’t anticipated discovering such things from her visit.
She had already been suspicious deep within, and after Miranda’s confirmation, she couldn’t help but believe it.
"Sis..."
Hugh suddenly spoke up.
Selena reassuringly patted his hand, continuing to ask.
"That car accident ten years ago was a conspiracy, wasn’t it?"
"And... your father was involved, right?"
The latter part of Selena’s statent was affirmative, prompting the look of complete panic on Miranda’s face.
"I... I... I don’t know!"
Miranda hurriedly grabbed onto Cassia Lawson, retreating in alarm.
"You know."
Selena locked her gaze on Miranda, the oppressive stare preventing Miranda from moving another step.
Cassia Lawson also soothingly patted Miranda’s shoulder, "Miranda, just say it."
"It’s okay."
Selena waited patiently for Miranda to speak.
After a while, Miranda spoke.
"It was a conspiracy."
She quickly added, "But it wasn’t done by Dad! Dad only provided them so information..."
"Like, the flight and vehicle details of Uncle and Aunt..."
Miranda pondered for a while before speaking.
"What are you saying?!"
’Bang!’
Hugh suddenly slamd his palm on the table.
His gaze was dark and intimidating, a look Miranda had never seen before.
Startled, Miranda flinched and backed away.
"I overheard Dad’s phone conversation as a kid; it had nothing to do with ..."
Cassia Lawson sternly asked, "So your father truly was involved in this matter?!"
Miranda hesitated for a mont, then nodded.
Selena’s face was grim.
But she held back without losing her temper.
