The Forgotten Heiress Returns Chapter 57: The Confession
"Did you push her?"Elizabeth froze at the question, her body suddenly becoming rigid as she stared at Cornell without knowing what to say next.Her eyebrows furrowed deeply, and for several seconds, she remained completely silent while the weight of his question settled between them.Cornell watched her closely, his eyes filled with fear and disappointment as he waited for his mother to answer him.The woman who had always appeared strong in front of him suddenly looked vulnerable, trapped between her past and the truth now standing before her."You have to trust me." She finally said, nodding her head. "I had to push Roslyn. She was going to use my affair as leverage. If your father finds out you're not his kid but another man's, we'll be kicked out of the Winchester family."Her confession left the room feeling painfully still, while Cornell sat motionless and absorbed every word she had just admitted.Elizabeth's voice trembled as she explained herself, her eyes repeatedly moving

"You remembered something, didn't you?" She asked, a bit agitated. "From sixteen years ago, the moment you lost your voice?"Amber kept her eyes fixed on Cornell, watching his face carefully as she waited for an answer.Her heart was beating faster than before, and the silence that followed her question felt unusually heavy inside the room.Elizabeth slowly turned toward her, her eyes boiling with rage as she realised Amber was getting dangerously close to the truth.Cornell looked from one woman to another, studying their expressions while trying to understand the sudden tension between them.'Mom's nervous.' He said in his mind, looking up at his mother and noticing how restless she had suddenly become.'She's hiding something about Lady Winchester. If I speak up, if I tell the truth, Amber and I will be over before we even begin.'The thought frightened him, yet another part of him knew that remaining silent would only allow the truth to remain buried.Amber widened her eyes at him

Elizabeth entered the room moments later, walking toward them with furious steps that made her anger obvious from the instant she crossed the doorway.Her face was tense, and her eyes immediately settled on Amber, who was still sitting close to Cornell while trying to calm him."Amber." She called furiously as she marched in. "What are you doing?"Her voice cut through the room sharply, making Amber turn toward her with surprise written across her face.Elizabeth did not wait for an explanation before moving closer, her anger becoming more obvious with every step she took.She reached Amber and pushed her away from Cornell, placing herself between them as though protecting her son from something dangerous."Is this what you call therapy?"Amber stumbled backward slightly from the sudden force, her expression tightening as she tried to understand Elizabeth's reaction.Oliver immediately moved toward Amber, and she instinctively stepped beside him, keeping a small distance between herse

"Some snacks." Roslyn said excitedly as she dropped the tray before them, her face brightening as she arranged the plates neatly across the centre table.The afternoon still carried an easy warmth, and nothing about the peaceful room suggested that something terrible was already unfolding quietly around them."Thank you." Both Elizabeth and Marian said together.Marian stretched her hand forward and picked up her glass of wine, then reached for the other glass before extending it toward Roslyn."Thank you." Roslyn said gratefully as she accepted it, her fingers wrapping comfortably around the glass.She settled back into the couch, looking pleased to have her guests enjoying the afternoon with her inside the estate."Cheers." The three of them said as they clicked their glasses.The sound of the glasses touching together was light and cheerful, creating an ordinary moment that would later become one of Cornell's darkest memories.Roslyn raised her glass to her mouth and took a long si

Sixteen years earlier, Roslyn was only twenty-three years old, while Elizabeth and Marian were both thirty-four years old.The Winchester estate looked peaceful that afternoon, with sunlight falling gently across the wide entrance and surrounding gardens.Roslyn stood near the doorway with a welcoming expression, still unaware of the danger that had quietly followed her visitors into the house.Elizabeth walked out from inside and immediately joined them at the entrance, her expression brightening as she looked between the two women.She appeared completely comfortable, carrying herself like someone welcoming a close friend into a familiar family home."Roslyn, this is my good friend, Marian." Elizabeth said excitedly.Her introduction sounded innocent, and nothing in her cheerful expression suggested that something dangerous had already been planned."Hi." Marian said happily, stretching her hand toward Roslyn for a handshake.Marian smiled warmly while extending her hand, carefully

Cornell slowly pulled off his suit coat and hung it carefully over the back of the couch before sitting down with an uneasy expression.The room was quiet and comfortable, yet the silence seemed to make him even more aware of what Amber intended to do.He adjusted himself on the couch, his eyes remaining fixed on Amber as she moved calmly across the room.Amber walked slowly and took the couch directly opposite him, creating enough distance to make him feel safe and comfortable.She studied his face for several seconds, noticing the nervousness behind his otherwise composed appearance.She understood that hypnosis could only work properly if Cornell trusted her enough to surrender control of his thoughts."We're going to try some hypnosis." She said, keeping her tone calm and assuring. "It'll work best if you're in a completely relaxed state."Cornell was just staring at her like someone going for a heart transplant.His eyes remained wide and uncertain, and the tension in his shoulde
