Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 268

"A single kid?" Chuck's voice broke in shock, and it took him a while to stutter out, "Does Yuna not have a sister then?"

Frederick was just as shocked as Chuck, but his shock was overshadowed by his anger.

If Zoe only had one child, then why had she previously claimed to have two?

And she even provided detailed descriptions!

What was this family trying to hide?

Thelma, however, didn't have time to ponder over the men's shock. All her attention was on the bank card in front of her.

She had no intention of telling them everything. After all, she had no idea how much money the man had given her.

If they wanted more secrets, they would have to pay up!

"I've answered your questions, the rest you can ask her yourself!"

Thelma said while subtly pressing her hand on the bank card. As she was about to pocket the card, Chuck's large hand slapped on top of hers, holding it in place.

Chuck curled his lips into a smirk, leaning in close, his voice barely above a whisper, "Thelma, we gave you a whole five million dollars. That should set you for life, right? So, does this one piece of information we got worth our five million dollars?"

Five... million?

Had she heard right?

This tiny bank card contained five million dollars?

Thelma was dumbstruck. She had never seen this much money before!

Thelma animatedly recounted her story, her words painting a vivid picture.

The old events of the past gained a mysterious and fantastical hue as she narrated them.

Chuck's heart raced as he instinctively turned to look at Frederick. However, Mr. Winston was not looking at him, but rather was scrutinizing Thelma, trying to discern the truth.

"The eyes, the nose, and the mouth were identical. They claimed that Zoe had twins.

But I knew something was off. I was the one who delivered the baby, so how could I not know if it was a single birth or twins?

I confronted them, but without a word, they gave me ten thousand dollars to keep quiet!

So, Yuna doesn't have a sister. They only have one child!"
