?Chapter 877:
Lance, not receiving any animosity, kept up his smile and said warmly, “Excuse us for the disturbance. Our cat slipped into your yard. Would you mind if we stepped in to search for it?”<fnd06e> Th?s chapter is updated by find(?)ovel</fnd06e>
Damian gave a slow blink, surprised by the mention of a cat. It clicked instantly—Darling had only moments ago darted back into the house. Still, the choice to allow them inside wasn’t his to make; Elliana alone had that authority.
“You’ll need to hold on a moment,” Damian replied evenly.
Lance offered a polite smile and said, “Of course. Thank you for your time.” As Damian walked back toward the mansion, his thoughts shifted to Jason, already settled in the living room. A smirk tugged at his lips—what were the odds that the Evans’ family members kept showing up at Rosewood Vi one after another?
Once Jason had been brought inside, Elliana addressed him with a courteous smile. “Mr. Evans, make yourselffortable for a moment. I’ll go change and return shortly.”
Nodding, Jason sat on the plush sofa, scanning the spacious living room stretched quietly around him. Death Thorn’s thoughts remained a mystery he couldn’t unravel. Earlier, when their eyes met, he found no spark of joy or affection from her—only a cold indifference that snuffed out his eagerness and left him fumbling over how to reach her. For now, waiting was all he could manage, biting back the flood of questions pressing against his tongue.
Elliana climbed the stairs and slipped into her room to change her clothes.
Adah walked into her room, curiosity spilling into her voice as she asked, “Elliana, what’s this about? Why did you bring Jason back?”
Pulling old clothes from her closet, Elliana slipped on the unruly wig she once wore and said casually, “Jason already saw my real face back in Podgend. He’s here today chasing after the Death Thorn, convinced I am madly in love with him.”
Sharp as ever, Adah caught on right away. With a burst ofughter and a sly grin, she teased, “So what’s your n? Going to toss him aside?”
M??? ??d???? ?? g????????.????
Adjusting the wig and smudging on her hideous makeup without care, Elliana responded, “No. I’m going to show him exactly who I am—Elliana.”
As Lh’s beauty faded beneath the heavy makeup and messy wig, Adah’s eyes widened, and she asked, “So you’re done with hiding?”
A quietugh slipped from Elliana as she answered, “I staged my death and lived as Lh in Ublento to stay out of the Campbell family’s hunting. But that threat doesn’t haunt me anymore. Hiding has lost its purpose. If Jason learns I’m Elliana, so be it.”
Baffled, Adah tilted her head and asked, “What are you getting at?”
Elliana finally revealed the truth, telling Adah that she was the rightful heiress of the Campbell family.
Adah’s eyes widened in disbelief, and her hands shook with excitement. “Wait—you’re saying your father runs Sun Group, and instead of hunting your mom, he actually loved her and cares for you too?”
Elliana nodded lightly, a smile tugging at her lips. “Yes.”
Adah grabbed her hand, nearly bursting with excitement. “Elliana, does this mean we’ve finally uncovered our mothers’ pasts? You have to tell me everything!”
“Nah. We still don’t have that answer,” Elliana replied as she gave Adah’s hand a gentle pat. “My dad never knew where my mom came from. All we’re certain of is that your mom worked as my mom’s personal assistant and never left her side.”
Adah sat stunned, overwhelmed by how tangled the truth really was.
