《The Forgotten Heiress Returns》全部章節：第 51 章 - 第 59 章

Just then, Cornell appeared and froze with a gasp as his eyes landed on the two of them.The sight before him was confusing enough to make him stop completely, because Oliver and Amber were standing together in a secluded corner behind the hall.Immediately Amber saw him, and her eyes went wide with a gasp.She turned instantly, instinctively hiding her face from Cornell because she had not expected him to follow them.Oliver turned to face Cornell, his expression changing immediately as irritation replaced the surprise that had briefly crossed his face."What the fuck." He cursed. "Didn't your European education include lessons of privacy? Get lost!"Cornell remained frozen, staring at Oliver with confusion because the situation looked completely different from anything he had expected to find.He looked around as though trying to understand whether he had somehow walked into the wrong place.'I know I saw Amber just now, but why is Oliver hiding this woman?' He thought in his mind.

At the Winchester estate, Oliver sat alone inside his private study, scrolling through his tablet while the quietness of the room allowed him to think.The evening had already become eventful, and several thoughts continued moving through his mind despite his attempt to concentrate on the documents before him.Every few seconds, his fingers moved across the screen, reviewing messages and reports from his business associates without showing any particular interest.His thoughts eventually drifted toward Amber, and the faint smile that appeared on his face revealed exactly where his attention had really gone.He remembered their dance, her stubborn attitude, and the way she had eventually agreed to spend another moment with him.A soft knock sounded against the door before it opened, drawing Oliver's attention away from the tablet.Eric Painter, his assistant, walked into the study carrying a small box carefully between both hands.The box looked expensive, and Eric's unusually careful

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

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

"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
