She knew her father’s personality, if he truly wanted to keep a secret, he wouldn’t tell anyone.

Upon hearing this, Elia Parker was stunned, unsure of how to continue the conversation for a moment.

“I told you, I overheard it accidentally. Why did my father tell my mother? Because he let it slip, so my mom just questioned him,” Iris Carter said.

“Yes, yes, I forced it out of him!” Hearing her daughter say this, Elia Parker immediately chimed in!

Despite how well she went along with it, the slight panic on Elia Parker’s face was clearly seen by Emily Walker. She laughed, “No matter what you say, I won’t believe you.”

Having said that, she turned to Elia Parker, “Are you okay now?”

“What?” Caught off guard by her sudden question, Elia Parker was puzzled and asked in response.

“Since you’re fine now, may I leave?” Not wanting to deal with the mother and daughter duo any longer, Emily Walker turned and walked out of the private room.

The mother and daughter did not react for a while. By the time they snapped back, Emily Walker had already disappeared through the door.

“I can’t believe we let her go just like that!” Iris Carter stomped, blaming herself for her momentary panic that had given Emily Walker the upper hand.

“Never mind. Although we didn’t get to teach her a lesson, I’m not hurt either. Next time, we’ll deal with her properly!” Elia Parker said with a joyful expression as she approached her daughter. “Leanne, you’re really so clever! I never thought of such a great strategy. Claiming she wasn’t their real child, that move was just too brilliant!”

However, she soon grew worried again, “But it seems like she didn’t really believe it.”

“No worries. Even if she isn’t convinced, this matter will be a thorn in her heart. As long as she has doubts, I believe she won’t investigate the will anymore!” Iris Carter confidently spoke, looking at the private room’s entrance.

“That’s true. Even if she investigates, there’s no solid proof now, so she can’t find out the truth!” Thinking about this, a smug smile appeared on Elia Parker’s face.

Leaving the Rice Restaurant, it was already 9:30 PM. Emily Walker walked under the moonlight-colored streetlights, lost in thought, completely unaware of the man following behind her.

Baron Stuart had initially just gone to use the restroom, but upon coming out, he received a call from Zachary Stuart who was traveling overseas. He ended up speaking for ten-plus minutes before returning to the restaurant, only to find the woman gone.

Just as he was frowning in confusion, he saw the slender figure walk out of the private room area, directly out of the restaurant, completely ignoring his presence!

“Hey.” Feeling too hungry, Baron Stuart decided not to accompany her aimless walk any longer, calling out to her.

Still immersed in her thoughts, Emily Walker hesitated before turning around, just noticing this man had been following her since she didn’t know when.

“Do you have an umbrella?” he asked.

“What?” Emily Walker paused, then looked around, only to realize that raindrops had started falling from the sky at some point.

The raindrops grew heavier, and before Emily Walker could react, a sudden heavy downpour drenched her white chiffon blouse.

Having been soaked in this kind of downpour for the first time in his life, Baron Stuart couldn’t help but feel extremely upset!
