A familiar scent greeted her nostrils, but this time she wasn't just relying on her nose to study her surroundings. Today, she could use her pair of eyes to see what kind of place it was, and that was why she kept her eyes fixed on surveying her surroundings.She was in a spacious room that looked like a living room. There was a set of black leather sofas along with a coffee table, there were two large glass cabinets displaying various items, and everything was so neat and clean that not even a speck of dust dared disturb the harmony.If she could use three words to describe this place, then she would use “simple, classy, and elegant” after she managed to see everything she couldn't see before."You can rest in one of the bedrooms in this place," Steen broke the silence in the room when he could see how the girl standing beside him couldn't stop looking around her."Which room?" Vivian replied. "Is that where yRelated chapters

Steen looked taken aback, but he didn't say anything and just took his phone out of his jacket pocket, then he opened the gallery app on his phone. His thumb moved swiftly across the screen to find something, and after finding what he wanted, he used his index finger and thumb to zoom in on the image displayed on the screen, and he was once again dumbfounded when he finally understood the meaning behind Vivian's words. After finding his mother's treasure box, Steen focused more on the diary and phone his mother left behind, and because of that, he paid little attention to the photographs left by the woman who gave birth to him years ago. He thought those photos were only treasured by his mother and wouldn't be able to provide him with any information, and that was why he ignored them and didn't look at them carefully unlike how Vivian did when she looked at the photos one by one with extra attention. Finally, Vivian found something from one of the photo

She looked confused. She looked confused as two pairs of eyes continued to stare at her intently ever since she arrived at this place. "What... what happened here?" Previously she only called Vivian when she had something she wanted to ask, but then Vivian asked her to come somewhere without letting her voice her question. In the end, Elena went to the penthouse, and she was currently sitting across from Vivian and Steen in the living room. She also looked surprised at how Vivian and Steen were together at the moment, but when she could see how the two looked like they had serious matters they wanted to discuss with her, she decided to hold back her curiosity and didn't immediately ask for more explanation on why they could be together at this time. She only asked about what was going on, but she did not immediately receive a verbal answer to her question. Instead, Vivian simply pushed a piece of paper on the coffee table towards her, and she

Vivian had told Elena that she was not her mother's real daughter. Her mother only found her in a car accident two decades ago, and because she wouldn't let her go, she started raising her as her own child. Vivian had told Elena that their parents had died in the accident, and until now she still didn't know their identities because Steen also didn't know the woman who posed alone with his mother in front of the camera. Vivian also told Elena that her mother had hidden everything very neatly until now. If it weren't for the photo left by Patricia Dahl, she might not have known the truth until now. Vivian had revealed everything in front of Elena, but the girl sitting across from her still didn't give a response. Elena just looked blank, and it was clear she was shocked by the story she had just told. Sure enough, it was hard for Elena to believe everything, right? “Perhaps this truth will be bitter for you, but I have to tell you tha

Sarah did not mention any other toddler who was involved in the car accident that occurred two decades ago besides Vivian. The woman seemed convinced when she said that there were only three adults and one child in the car at the time of the accident, and that was why they still didn't know Elena's whereabouts at the time. Lily did say that she only adopted Elena because her parents didn't want her anymore, but that was also questionable. After all, Elena, Vivian, and Steen knew how sneaky the curly woman was, and that was why they agreed to ask Lily for an explanation one more time instead of taking her word for it. That was the reason why the three people were now standing at Vester's doorstep, and it was Elena who rang the doorbell next to the door. They waited for someone to open the door, and when two minutes passed without anyone opening it for them, Elena decided to ring the doorbell again, and this time she even pressed it many times. “Why do yo

Lily's eyes once again widened in shock after hearing Vivian's cold command. Not because Vivian dared to order her like that, but because of the order that had just left the girl's lips. "What... what are you talking about?" Nervously, Lily responded to Vivian. “I am Elena's mother, and I never abandoned her! How can you carelessly say that I dumped her twenty years ago?" Lily tried to deny the accusation, but she looked really nervous at this time. Cold sweat had even started to coat her forehead, and the three people sitting with her in the living room could definitely see how she was trying to hide something. "Vivian didn't speak carelessly," Steen responded to the curly woman, and before he continued his words, he took something out of his jacket pocket before shoving it to where Lily was sitting. “Look at the woman in the photo, the one who has two toddlers in her lap, and tell me whether or not that woman is you.” It was a photo found in

"YOU ARE THE REAL CRIMINAL, LILY VESTER!" Elena even got up from her sitting position pointing at Lily who was still sitting on the sofa in front of her. Lily had just confessed her crime two decades ago, and it was Elena who reacted immediately to the confession. "Calm down, Elena!" Vivian replied as she too stood up from her seat and walked over to Elena before trying to push the girl into the sofa again. “She has confessed what she did to you many years ago, but we still need to hear more from her, right? That's why we shouldn't be shaken by our emotions." At this time, Elena finally learned of her origins. She wasn't part of the Vester family, but she was part of a family that had bad luck years ago. By now, Elena was truly furious, but she still listened to Vivian as she once again sat down on the sofa behind her. Seeing how well Elena was listening to her, Vivian finally breathed a sigh of relief before returning to her seat next to Stee

Steen never liked driving a car when someone else was in it. He would think that he was no different from a driver if there were other people in the car while he was driving, and that was why he always hated the idea of driving when he wasn't the only one in the car. That was also the reason he initially didn't want Vivian to come with him in his car to go to her college for the first time a few months ago. Vivian couldn't drive, and that was why Steen had to be the one to drive the car even if he didn't want to. But that was what he had thought in the past, and today he no longer felt the same way even though he was the one driving the car when some people were also in the vehicle. Sitting in the passenger seat next to him was Vivian, while sitting in the back seat was Elena. The black car had just left the Vester residence after Steen warned Lily one last time. It was not an empty warning because he had reported Lily's crime to the police, and that wa

Her mother was named Gabriella Lancrose, while her father was named Paul Lancrose. They came from a wealthy family who lived in Tharns City, a town very far from Haston, and it so happened that Patricia Dahl was born and raised in a big house right next to the Lancrose mansion. It could be said that they were living in a luxurious neighborhood at the time, and that was why it was no wonder only rich people could live there. Maybe how rich they were was also shown by the way they dressed outside the mansion, and maybe that was the reason why Gabriella and Paul had become Lily's targets two decades ago. Sure enough, Lily knew that the couple had huge pockets of money at home, and that was why they had decided to kidnap one of their children. Lily must have wished she could get one of the bags of money in her hands then, but she wasn't lucky enough as Gabriella and Paul ended up meeting a tragic end because of what she did to one of their daughters.

A name. It was not just a group of letters used to address someone so they would turn to the caller and not ignore the caller. A name had a deeper meaning than that. A name was used to identify a person, used to distinguish someone from other individuals. A name would always stick with a person from the time they were born until the day they last breathed, and even at their final resting place, their name would also be written or engraved to let everyone know that the body buried underground belonged to the owner of the name. A name was indeed an important part of one's life, and that was why one would not feel happy if someone called them by the wrong name. Perhaps that was also the reason why Vivian had returned to wearing a wedding dress today. It was still the same wedding dress she wore months ago when she officially became Steen's wife, but because she was using someone else's name then, she and Steen decided to have another wedding ceremony to announce to everyone that it was

Their next stop was the penthouse at the Golden Roof Apartments, and it might also be their last stop. Only three people entered the penthouse after Elena was sent to her family's residence. After Lily and her family were arrested by the police, the house was empty, and that's why Elena lived there temporarily. Yes, only temporarily because Elena planned to move after finding a suitable place to live. Vivian had actually invited her to move in with her and Sarah in the small house, but Elena rejected the idea, saying that she didn't want to disturb the two of them and that Sarah might be uncomfortable if she joined them to live in the cramped house. Vivian said that Sarah wouldn't feel that way because that woman also wanted to meet Elena and wanted to live with her too, but Elena still resisted the idea. In the end, Vivian only said that she would try to find a bigger house, and if that could happen, the three of them might be able to move in together.

Someone was standing in the middle of the mansion's stairs. With teary eyes, he looked at the people standing in the living room one by one. His eyes were not only filled with tears, but the two of them were also filled with fear and confusion. He looked lost and lonely even if he wasn't alone in the big building. Maybe the adults in the living room kept talking about Stanley before, but they probably forgot that the kid was also in the mansion the whole time, and they also weren't aware of the possibility that the innocent boy had heard everything from the second floor. But maybe Steen was aware of the possibility, but he simply didn't care at all. That was why he looked away from the boy before saying, "Let's go." Both words were aimed at Vivian and Elena, like how he had suggested the three of them leave the mansion immediately. But neither Vivian nor Elena moved from their positions even after hearing the order, and they both focused their

Steen somehow could not directly answer his father's question this time. He was still grinding his teeth to suppress his anger, but no words could come out of his mouth at this moment. Recalling the disgusting memory, he remembered how he did not find any used condoms in the hotel room, and it was easy to tell that he had done it without any protection the night before. He wasn't even sure if it was because he couldn't think straight when he did it or maybe it was Kate's intention, but he was sure there weren't any used condoms in the hotel room at the time. He wasn't stupid, and that was why he could see the possibility of her being pregnant after they had a such activity that night, and it was also the reason why he hated that kid called Stanley so much. Even if he didn't try to find evidence that Stanley was indeed his son, he could see the similarities the boy had with him, and it had the power to terrify him. Because of that, he had alway
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 300. THE DISGUSTING MEMORY
Kate had been dragged from the mansion by the police, and even the man named Peter had also been caught by the police. Hence, only four people were left in the living room after Marlon also left the place. There were only Steen, Stefan, Vivian, and Elena in the living room. Everyone still ignored the presence of plush sofas in the living room as they preferred to remain standing rather than sitting comfortably. They all even continued to stand like statues. Even Steen who previously looked the calmest of them, now looked shaken after hearing what Kate proudly said before being dragged away by the police. "I always knew that the child was not mine," Stefan muttered breaking the tense silence in the living room. “I always knew about it, but I didn't expect the child to be yours, Steen. How are you going to explain it to me? Do you like your stepmother? You have treated her coldly all along, but you even got her pregnant with your child. I didn't expect yo

“Recently, that bitch doesn't dare to touch her phone because her phone is haunted by my mother, right? Ah! Even her fear should be enough to tell that she was scared because she had done something to my mother in the past, but I know that such a thing wouldn't be enough to prove that she was indeed a criminal. That's why I focused on finding something on her phones that were ignored by her out of fear in the past week. On one of her cellphones, I found enough evidence to land her in jail.” When everyone was speechless, it was Steen who continued to speak. Turns out that was his real plan. He didn't plan to pressure Kate so she would kill herself just like his mother did years ago, but he just wanted her to ignore her cell phone so he would get a chance to touch it. Yesterday Kate left the mansion without her cell phone, and Steen took the opportunity to look for more evidence in the cell phone. Finally, he found what he was looking for in one of her cell phones.
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 298. KATE'S AFFAIR
"SHUT UP! DON'T TALK NONSENSE IN MY HOUSE!" Kate immediately shouted at Peter, but even her voice sounded unsteady as she looked nervous as hell. Her voice was shaking, her pupils were trembling, and even her breathing was ragged. All eyes suddenly fell on the blonde woman, and it was finally Stefan who opened his mouth to respond to the woman, "Are you sure what he said was just nonsense?" Stefan also looked surprised after hearing what Peter had just said, but he still had time to ask the woman that question. At this moment, the woman no longer glared at the kneeling man, and instead, she stiffly shifted her gaze to Stefan. Stefan was her husband, and he was known for his strict and assertive personality. Many people were afraid of him, even Kate was afraid of him before they got married years ago. But today she somehow looked scared again when she had to face the old man even if the man was her spouse. “D-don't listen to what that

Steen had revealed everything. He had disclosed how Vivian and Elena were actually part of a family living far away from Haston City, but Elena was kidnapped by Lily and her husband two decades ago. At that time, the twins' parents died in a car accident, and little Vivian was found by a couple after the incident, and she was raised by the couple into adulthood. Steen deliberately did not mention how Sarah had purposely taken Vivian as her daughter instead of returning the child to her relatives, nor did he mention the name of the family Vivian and Elena came from. He didn't think that the information was necessary, and that's why he kept it a secret. And maybe Stefan really didn't need that information, and the story Steen had just uncovered had shocked the old man enough. His pair of eyes widened as he looked at the twins, but he still didn't say anything as he still couldn't overcome his shock. Steen could see how his father was stunned by
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 296. THE CULPRIT
It was Marlon who had just entered the mansion, but this time he was not alone. His hand was holding another person's arm, and that person's hands were tied with a rope behind his back. After arriving at the living room, Marlon forced the person to kneel in front of the five people. One person looked confident after seeing the person's appearance in the living room, while three other people looked shocked and confused, then one person looked scared as her eyes widened when she saw the person who had just arrived in the living room with Marlon. "So, he's the person, Marlon?" It was Steen who looked confident upon seeing the person's arrival in the living room, and although his question was directed at Marlon, his eyes were glued to the figure kneeling in front of him. “Yes, sir,” Marlon immediately answered his boss's question. “His name is Peter Ford, and he works in a bar in town. He's the one who posted that anonymous article about you, sir.”
