Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 384

"I tried to sneak out for a sip of water, but the moment I opened the door, a drunk Lucian kicked me back inside. He said, 'Don't be an eyesore, you jinx. Get back in there!'"

Grace took a sip of champagne before continuing.

"That was when I swore that one day, I would stand taller than all of them and watch them rot in the mud."

Damien kissed her cheek, his heart aching for her. "You did it," he said in a low voice. "And no one will ever let you go hungry again."

"Mr. Clarke, Ma'am."

Felix, the special assistant, approached them, his expression somewhat grave.

"What is it?"

"Someone just delivered this letter, addressed specifically to you, Ma'am." Felix handed over a black envelope. "Security scanned it, no dangerous materials. But the person who delivered it... is untraceable."

Grace took the envelope.

There was no stamp, only a gold wax seal with an intricate crest—it looked like an eagle entangled in thorns.

She broke the seal. Inside were just two faded photographs and a sheet of paper.

"Miss Hart, congratulations. But your true identity is far more than just a daughter of the Hart family. Your mother was adopted by the Hawke family."

"She actually came from a reclusive, overseas family of researchers. When your biological grandmother returned to the country with her at the age of two, it was to escape being hunted by the family."

"The family has taken notice of you. Be careful."

"—M"

Grace's hand trembled.

"What's wrong?" Damien sensed her distress and immediately took the letter from her.

After reading it, his brow furrowed tightly.

The background of one of the photos was a grim, ancient European castle, with ivy swallowing nearly half the wall.

A beautiful young woman was pushing a wheelchair, in which sat a foreign old man with a sinister gaze.

That woman looked remarkably similar to her mother, Lauren Hawke.
