Chapter 444:

Weldon’s words left Amelia’s face caught in a tangled expression.

Deep inside, she had already suspected as much. But now that the truth stood confirmed, surges of emotion overwhelmed her.

“Amelia, return with us to Hans. You are the rightful daughter of the Chadwick line; Brielle is nothing more than an impostor. We p>

“I will not return to Hans with you p>

Before Weldon could finish, Amelia cut him off, her tone frigid.

Witnessing the defiance in her gaze, Weldon felt anxious. He opened his mouth to push further, but before he could, Shepard spoke.

“There’s another side to the account of how your mother was abandoned p>

“What are you talking about?” A dangerous spark flashed in Amelia’s eyes at Shepard’s statement. Suspicion edged into her tone as she looked at him. “Don’t think you can trick me into going back to Hans with fabrications like that p>

“I wouldn’t mislead you regarding something this serious,” Shepard answered firmly. “From what I’ve uncovered, it was your mother who ended things first. She left my father a letter of farewell p>

“That can’t be true p>

Amelia knew Katrina’s character well. If her mother had truly left Weston of her own accord, she never would have carried her to term, nor spent the remainder of her life in sorrow.

Observing Amelia’s turmoil, Wyatt pulled her into his embrace and turned toward Shepard. “What else did you discover p>

During the past week, Shepard had drawn upon every tie he had in Hans, gradually assembling fragments of the past.

The reason Weston and Katrina had broken up was that Weston had received a breakup letter from her.

That day, Weston had intended to bring Katrina back to the Chadwick estate, but after he had waited for hours at their meeting place, she failed to show up.

Believing she was merely nervous, Weston had stayed the entire day without calling to pressure her.

Only when night descended did he finally decide to seek her out — only to be handed a letter from a stranger.

In the letter, Katrina declared she had never loved him, claiming their connection was only about his role as the Chadwick heir.

Shattered, Weston went on to wed Danielle.

Three years after that, at a business gathering, he encountered Katrina again. The instant his eyes fell upon her, nothing else mattered — he rushed forward to hold her.

When Katrina learned Weston was married and the father of two sons, she disappeared once again. Later, Brielle was sent into the Chadwick family.

“Don’t you want to learn the truth of what truly happened back then?” Shepard asked Amelia.

Amelia had always assumed Weston had ruthlessly abandoned her mother. She had never imagined there had been far more behind the matter.

“But… even if the truth is revealed, it cannot bring my mother back,” Amelia said.
