All Chapters of The Woman I Became After You: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I could not move. My father’s words remained lodged in my mind. Your mother killed your biological mother. I stared at Adrian, hoping he would tell me that I had heard incorrectly, but he did not.“Elena,” he said softly.I stepped away from him. “No.” My voice shook. “No, that cannot be true.”My father was still on the phone. “Dad, you need to explain.”“I will.”“Now.”He took a breath. “Your biological mother’s diary contained several entries about the days before her death. The final entry mentioned your mother.”“What did it say?”“I cannot tell you everything over the phone.”“Then read it.”There was silence.“Dad.”He finally spoke. “She wrote that your mother came to see her on the night she died.”My heart tightened. “Why?”“We do not know.”“Did they argue?”“Yes.”“About me?”“Yes.”I closed my eyes and remembered my mother’s tears, the way she had held me whenever I was afraid, the way she had protected me, the way she had sacrificed everything for me. I could not make t

I could not stop hearing my uncle’s words. The person who introduced Adrian to you was Evelyn. I looked at Adrian, and he appeared as shocked as I was. “Evelyn introduced us?”He nodded slowly. “Yes.”“But I met you through the business meeting.”Adrian looked confused. “I thought the meeting was arranged by your father’s company.”“It was.”I looked toward my uncle. “Then what does Evelyn have to do with it?”My uncle shook his head. “She arranged the meeting.”Adrian’s face hardened. “I did not know that.”“I believe you,” my uncle said.Adrian looked at him. “Then tell us everything.”My uncle closed his eyes. “Evelyn worked for Margaret for years.”I stared at him. “I knew she had been paid by my grandmother.”“That was only part of it.”“What else?”“She was responsible for watching Elena.”My heart tightened. “Watching me?”“Yes.”“Since when?”“Since you were a child.”I felt sick. My entire childhood had been monitored by people I thought were family friends. “Why?”“Because M

For several seconds, nobody spoke. I kept staring at the letter in my father’s hands. Clara had another child. The words refused to make sense.I looked at my father. “Who is the child?”He shook his head. “We do not know.”“But the letter says the second heir is already beside me.”“Yes.”“Then somebody here must know.”My eyes moved around the room. My mother. My father. Adrian. Evelyn was gone. Daniel was not there. My grandmother had remained at the estate. My uncle was still in the hospital. None of them seemed to know what I was thinking.Then Adrian stepped closer. “Look at me.”I did.“You know I am not hiding anything from you.”“I know.”“Whatever this is, we will find out together.”I nodded, but before I could answer, my father’s phone rang. He looked at the screen. “It is the hospital.”He answered. “What happened?” His expression changed. “Which patient?” He listened for several seconds. “Do not let anyone leave the building.” He ended the call.“What happened?” I asked.

The moment my grandmother finished speaking, the room fell completely silent. I stared at her, trying to absorb what she had just revealed. For weeks I had believed that every secret had already been uncovered, yet every time I thought we had reached the end, another truth appeared and changed everything I thought I knew about my family. Now she was telling me that my uncle carried the final proof of who had ordered Clara’s death.I looked at my father and asked where my uncle wanted me to meet him. My father hesitated before admitting that the location had been sent to his phone. I told him we should go there immediately, and my grandmother shook her head at once, insisting that I did not understand what I would be walking into. I told her that I understood my uncle had answers, and she reminded me that he also had secrets. I said that so did she, and though my words clearly wounded her, I did not take them back. I had spent too many years being protected with lies, and I was finishe

The room became completely silent. Adrian’s grandfather stood across from us with a gun in his hand, his expression calm despite the anger burning clearly in his eyes. My mother stepped in front of me and told him not to hurt me. He laughed softly and said that after everything she had done, she still wanted to play the protector. My mother did not move, and simply said she had promised Clara. He replied that she had failed her, and my mother insisted she had kept Clara’s daughter alive. He said coldly that she had kept a problem alive instead.I stared at him and said I was not a problem. His eyes moved toward me as he said I was the reason everything had fallen apart, and I told him it was the other way around, that he was the reason everything had fallen apart. His jaw tightened. Adrian stepped beside me and told his grandfather plainly that he had killed Clara. His grandfather looked at him and said she had been about to destroy both families. Adrian accused him of murdering her f
