Chapter 829:
Elliana sighed. Now, her own mother was missing. Cole’s mother had also disappeared. Where could they be? The thought settled over her like a heavy shroud.
Sensing her sorrow, Milton took one hand off the wheel and gave hers a firm squeeze. “Hey. Don’t lose hope. We’ll find Mom p>
Elliana gave a small, steady nod. She firmly believed they would find their mother one day.
Then, another thought hit her. Darin had said her mother ran to Ublento with Adah’s mother, Sally Hinks. The name sparked in her mind, and she turned to Milton. “Do you know someone named Sally Hinks p>
Milton answered, “Yes, I do. Sally was Mom’s housekeeper. She was with Mom before Dad even met her. When Mom left, Sally went with her.” He glanced at Elliana curiously. “Why do you ask p>
Elliana was left dumbstruck. A housekeeper? She had only known Sally as the warm woman who often visited her mother with Adah. She had thought they were friends. Realizing their bond was that of mistress and servant changed everything. If that was true, then Adah’s mother and her own had come from the same place.
“Sally followed my mother when she fled to Ublento. Later, after Mom married Darin, Sally married Leonel. Sally and Leonel had Adah—she’s a few months younger than me. We grew up together,” Elliana explained carefully.
She told Milton everything she knew about Adah and her family.
Milton listened with evident surprise. “Wow. I never thought Sally would marry and have a child. I’d like to meet her daughter someday p>
Elliana’s lips curved into a smile. “You will get the chance. Adah’s my best friend. I’ll introduce you p>
As she spoke, a familiar sight came into view. “That’s Rosewood Villa—where I live now. Adah’s staying there with me,” she said, pointing ahead.
Your next favorite is on gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s．𝒸o𝗺
Milton traced the path of Elliana’s outstretched finger until his gaze landed on Rosewood Villa, sprawling in the distance.
Rosewood Villa paled beside premier properties like Harmony Estate, yet it remained worlds beyond any ordinary person’s reach. Only those blessed with considerable wealth could dream of walking its manicured grounds.
Milton realized that his sister had clearly flourished into a woman of substantial means. To think she had wandered this world alone, weathered countless storms, and somehow transformed herself into this extraordinary person. Pride swelled in his chest, mingled with profound admiration.
“Do you want to know why I chose Rosewood Villa when I returned to Ublento as Lilah p>
Elliana’s smile carried mischievous undertones. Milton’s eyebrow arched upward. “Enlighten me p>
Her eyes sparkled with barely contained amusement. “I discovered the Campbells were settling into Harmony Estate. I purchased Rosewood Villa specifically for its proximity. My master plan involved spying on you guys, finding ways to slip onto Harmony Estate under the cover of darkness, and when the moment ripened—extracting my revenge. Perhaps even obliterating you all p>
At this, Milton released a dry laugh that rumbled from his chest. “You possess remarkable audacity.” His grin stretched wide across his face. “Spying on the Campbells? Infiltrating Harmony Estate? Those schemes alone demonstrate impressive boldness. But achieving actual revenge, destroying us completely?” He shook his head, amusement dancing in his eyes. “If one determined young woman could topple the Campbells so effortlessly, do you imagine we would remain the legendary dynasty we’ve been for centuries p>
