Chapter 1775


    Chapter 1775 Ellinor studied Bertha for a long moment before saying, “If what you’re telling me is true,


    then I’ve misunderstood you.” Bertha responded with a bitter smile. “Ellinor, I understand your


    skepticism towards me. But I just wanted to warn you. Sophia is maniptive. She’ll do anything to


    keep Marcus by her side, and Thaddeus will fall for her pitiful act. You must be careful.” Ellinor seemed


    somewhat convinced by Bertha’s sincerity. She nodded. “Thanks for the warning. I’ll be careful. Is there


    anything else, ma’am? If not, I should return to my office. I have work to do.” As she spoke, Ellinor


    nced at her wristwatch. Bertha, aware that Ellinor was eager to leave, scanned the room one more


    time. Marlinie was still nowhere to be seen. She sighed. “Alright then, Ellinor. If you have things to do,


    go ahead. When you’re free, I’ll introduce you to that old friend.” At the mention of this mysterious old


    friend, Ellinor squinted. She was intrigued, but not overly interested. “Okay, I’ll take my leave now.” She


    bid her goodbye as she politely nodded at them. Lea waved goodbye reluctantly. “See you, Ellinor.”


    Without turning back, Ellinor raised her arm in a casual wave before pushing the shop door open and


    stepping out onto the street. While watching Ellinor’s retreating figure heading towards the nchet


    Building, Lea grimaced. “Ah… Mom, we finally managed to meet with Ellinor, but we didn’t achieve


    anything. And we still can’t find Ms. Marlinie.”Bertha sighed and rubbed her forehead. “Let’s go, honey.


    Let’s check the restroom for Marlinie.” The mother-daughter duo headed to the restroom. Books

    The restroom was empty, apart from a few closed stalls. Bertha called out, “Come on out! She’s


    already left!” Lea blinked, looking at the stalls. Sure enough, a stall door opened. Marlinie emerged,


    looking distraught. Her eyes were red and glistening with tears. Lea rushed over. “Ms. Marlinie, what


    happened? Weren’t you supposed to meet with Ellinor? Why did you hide here?” Marlinie’s voice was


    hoarse. “I didn’t know how to face her… I… I owe her an apology… I couldn’t face her…” Lea’s eyes


    widened. “Ms. Marlinie, are you saying that you’re sure Ellinor is your long-lost daughter?” Marlinie


    covered her mouth to stifle her sobs, nodding, “It’s her. I didn’t need to ask her anything. I recognized


    her at first sight. She’s my Pearl…” Lea beamed. “That’s great!” Bertha patted her friend’s shoulder,


    trying to calm her down. “Isn’t it a good thing? Your daughter is alive, so you should be happy.” Marlinie


    closed her eyes, trying to swallow back her tears. “I’m so d she’s alive, but I also feel so guilty. Why


    didn’t I investigate properly back then? Why did I so easily believe what others told me?!”
