Chapter 1221 Unveiling Deceptions
“Not acquainted,” Lizbeth shook her head, “and the moment I first saw her, I felt that she was strange.”
“I had the same feeling, Mrs. Murphy mused, “her gaze reminded me of someone, but I can’t recall
who.”
“Mom,” Lizbeth grabbed Mrs. Murphy’s hand, “doesn’t her expression resemble Evelyn Murphy’s?”
“…” Mrs. Murphy took a breath, “Evelyn Murphy?”
“I felt that way. Lizbeth said, “could it be my imagination?”
“You’re right,” Mrs. Murphy furrowed her brow, “it’s that feeling! Although this Erin looks different from
Evelyn, her gaze is eerily simr to Evelyn’s!”
“Now that you mention it, I also had that thought,” Paul said, “the first time I saw her back in Struyria, it

caught me off guard.”
“This can’t be a coincidence, can it?” Mrs. Murphy said, “This woman doesn’t look much like Evelyn,
but her gaze, it’s that same cunning and malevolent look.”
“And I sense a deviousness in her, Lizbeth said, “that day, she even mentioned being pregnant with
Edmond’s child, wanting to be the Murphy family’s young mistress.”
“How could that be?” Mrs. Murphy exchanged a nce with her husband, “We don’t even know who
she is! The doors to the Murphy family are not open for just anyone to enter! We can’t let Murphy’s
family’s bloodline be scattered outside.”
Mrs. Murphy stood up from her chair, her expression angered, “I’ll talk with her. She’s getting ahead of
herself!”
“The thing is, Edmond dotes on her, Lizbeth said, “you and Dad don’t need to strain your rtionship
with Edmond because of her.”
“The selection for the position of Murphy family’s young mistress won’t be so casual!” Mrs. Murphy
said. with a cold face, “Even if Edmond gets her pregnant, it’s nothing special. We can give her money
and send her away!”
“But there’s a child involved, right?” Lizbeth frowned, That’s an innocent life too, part of the Murphy
family’s blood.”
“She says it’s Edmond’s, so it must be Edmond’s?” Mrs. Murphy snorted, “This kind of loose woman,
who knows who she got pregnant by, maybe she’s trying to pin it on Edmond! Besides, we can’t even
be sure if she’s pregnant! Theplexion andziness of a pregnant woman, those can’t be faked
easily! Your mother gave birth to you three, don’t I have that experience?” CD
Lizbeth, “…” She hadn’t thought about these aspects, her mother’s words seemed reasonable.
“Let me handle this!” Mrs. Murphy said with a cold snor, “Watch how I’ll get the truth out of her!”
Lizbeth, “… Mother’s still as sharp as ever!
During dinner, Paul asked Lizbeth what kind of dowry she wanted.
Tll follow Mom and Dad’s decision,” Lizbeth said, “whatever they think is best.”

“Mom and Dad won’t treat you unfairly,” Mrs. Murphy said, her eyes slightly teary, “You’re their flesh
and blood, yet you’ve suffered so much outside. They feel sorry for you.”
“I’m doing fine.” Lizbeth’s eyes were also a bit watery, but she smiled. “Mom and Dad shouldn’t dwell
on those things. I’m here with you now, and I’m happy just the same, right?” It’s just that this happiness
came
a bitte.
Thinking about the days she endured hardships in the countryside with her foster parents, it was truly a
difficult time.
“Though that’s what you say,” Mrs. Murphy held her daughter’s hand, “if we hadn’t discovered the
mistake with Evelyn and hadn’t quickly found the hospital records and located you in time, you would
still be suffering in the countryside. And by then, your foster parents had already passed away, you
would’ve been
all alone.”
“My foster parents treated me well,” Lizbeth said, “at least they gave me a home, helped me grow up
smoothly. I just didn’t expect them to pass away so soon.”
“Those two years were tough,” Mrs. Murphy served Lizbeth a dish, “your foster parents falling ill and
passing away, with no one to support you, how did you manage all alone?”
