Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 578
A flicker of joy stirred in Penelope's chest. She truly believed it was some sort of gift prepared for her. After all, even a property deed amounted to little more than a thin booklet.She stepped forward briskly, smiling as she picked it up and opened it. When she drew out the contents and saw what they were, her expression froze."What's this?"Seeing her reaction, Megan finally felt a hint of relief.'This idiot. How could Raymond possibly treat her any differently?'Yet in the very next second, she froze as well."This call log," Raymond said lazily, the corners of his mouth lifting into something that was not quite a smile. "You really don't remember it?"He fixed his gaze on Penelope and spoke slowly, each word deliberate. "Then surely you remember a man named Thomas Setford."At the sound of that name, Penelope showed no immediate reaction, but a cold sheen of sweat broke out across Megan's back.Eliana had been poisoned yesterday. And today, Raymond had already traced

Julian knew her too well. When it came to herself, she was never careful. At times, she even leaned toward self-destruction.But the child in her womb was different. That child was the family she had longed for.Sydney did listen. "All right. I promise.""Look at this number." Julian handed her his phone. A string of digits filled the screen.Sydney glanced at it and frowned. "Whose number is this?"She recognized only Julian's and Tiffany's numbers."Penelope." Julian spoke the name without hesitation. "The day after Thomas was released from prison, he received a call from her. They talked for almost 30 minutes."Sydney froze. She had never suspected Penelope, not even once.Penelope held no grudge against Eliana. During this period, Sydney had even deliberately kept her distance from her.So why?Before her emotions could swell, Julian continued in a calm voice, "I already called Raymond. He's on his way back to Seraph Villa."Penelope was staying with the Hutton family. I

At that point, no further explanation was needed. Florence immediately understood what her daughter intended to do. Diana did not merely plan to shatter Adeline's illusion. She also intended to slap her publicly.Florence was usually reserved rather than cold, and certainly not soft-hearted. After hearing that, she raised no objection. She only offered a calm reminder. "Don't let this drag Sydney into it."Adeline was not an easy person to deal with. If she lost control, she might turn around and target Sydney instead.Diana had already thought it through. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."Florence remained uneasy. "Any news from James about the paternity test?""If there is, you'll be the first to know."Diana understood her mother's anxiety. She shared it herself and had been waiting for the result just as long.Worry, however, would not speed anything up. The samples had been sent overseas, which alone took a full day. Only three days had passed. A delay was perfectly nor

Diana lowered her gaze with calm composure. The chill in her eyes vanished without a trace, and her voice remained steady and even. "Very well. One willing, one consenting."It was a pity for Sydney, to have once stepped into such an unbearable family.The image of the young woman's gentle patience surfaced in Diana's mind and tightened her chest for reasons she could not explain.Only Florence grasped the deeper meaning behind those words.Adeline, however, was overjoyed. "I've already consulted a pastor and chosen an auspicious date. Why don't we finalize the engagement at the charity gala in a couple of days? Both families can settle everything then."Adeline wanted to see whether Sydney and Julian would still dare look down on her after she formed ties with the Hutton family in full view of the elites of Jouleston and Brimcrest. The Hamptons might not rival the Sterlings now, but an alliance with the Huttons would change everything.Florence understood her intentions at once,

Late at night, Julian finally noticed that Sydney's breathing beside him had evened out. He released a silent breath of relief.He waited a little longer, until she had fallen into a deep sleep, then carefully lifted the blanket and slipped out of bed.Back in the study, Julian stood on the balcony for a long while before taking out his phone and calling Elliot."Has Caleb been in contact with anyone unusual recently?" His instincts told him that this matter could not be separated from Caleb.Yet based on what Julian knew, Caleb was a man with two faces, but not the kind who committed outright evil. Poisoning someone did not align with his usual methods.In the early years, the Sterling and Hampton families had been evenly matched. Now the Sterlings held the upper hand, but both sides were long accustomed to watching each other's movements closely.Elliot replied quickly, "No. Just ordinary business contacts.""No?" Julian's brow twitched slightly. The suspicion in his chest did

Adeline frowned, a cold tremor running through her from head to toe.The son she had carried to full term and raised with such effort now treated her with open indifference because of a woman."What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? I'm your mother. Is it wrong for me to worry about your marriage?" she demanded.Caleb’s expression turned even paler. "You're my mother. Of course you're not wrong. But when you went behind my back to handle the divorce paperwork, you should have expected this outcome. You also know I'm your son, not a puppet you can control."Adeline froze, while Caleb strode away without looking back.Timothy came charging downstairs like a cannonball and latched onto her leg. "Grandma, Grandma, was Uncle Caleb just back? Why didn’t he come upstairs to see me?"Adeline snapped out of it and gathered her only grandson into her arms, her voice heavy with heartache. "He was busy today. Next time he comes back, he’ll see you before he leaves.""You're not lyin
