Chapter 504: The Truth Revealed
After Scarlett finished speaking, she held the baby in her arms and without saying another word, left the Baldwin family.
"Miss...," Beatrice cried out, her voice filled with pain. "Where are you going? Let me take care of you, is that not possible? How can you go on like this without anyone taking care of you? Please don't let the two children be separated, Miss..."
Scarlett left without looking back, fully aware that her face had been ruined. If she stayed, she would become the target of ridicule and a burden to Benny and Beatrice.
Leaving both children and herself behind would be unfair to Beatrice and Benny. They were not young anymore, and raising two infants would be too demanding. If she only kept one, it would be much easier to handle and provide a prosperous life for the child.
As for the baby in her arms, she would find a good family to adopt him or her. Scarlett had to consider the future of the children.
A mansion being burned down would not go unnoticed. The authorities would surely investigate, and she would easily become a suspect with her disfigured face. The fact that Scarlett had given birth to twins was known by her former landlord and the film crew she had worked with, among others. It would only take a little investigation to uncover the truth.
If the twins stayed together, they would always be a topic of gossip for others. Living like that, the children would never be able to hold their heads high. Scarlett did not want them to live in the shadow of their parents.
Only by separating them could they live a healthy and happy life.
Taking the last gold bar with her, Scarlett carried the baby to a foreign land, searching everywhere for a kind-hearted family. But every person who saw her disfigured face immediately turned her away, refusing to adopt the child.
When passing by an orphanage, Scarlett finally mustered her courage and approached.
If no one else wanted to adopt her child, surely the orphanage would?
"Child, do you like it here? There are many caring people here, they will surely love you..."
The child cried loudly, seemingly not willing to stay. Hearing the crying, the staff of the orphanage quickly came out and took the baby from Scarlett's arms, patiently soothing it.
Soon, the child stopped crying.
Scarlett was deeply relieved to see this scene. She put the last gold bar on the child and tearfully said to the staff, "Both her parents have passed away, and she has no other relatives. Please take good care of her..."
"Then... what relation are you to the child?"
"I am her family's servant, I have already quit my job..."
Scarlett's figure quickly disappeared from the memory's scenes.
From that day on, the child was named Luna and received excellent care at the orphanage.
Within a few years, a new headmaster named Richard arrived at the orphanage. All the children took on the surname Foster and were registered. Luna also gained her own name, Ivy.
Under Richard's care, Ivy grew up strong and healthy and even excelled academically, getting accepted into university.
During her sophomore year, she...
I met my boyfriend, Leo. After graduating from college, I applied to a company as a clerk. During this time, Leo has always wanted to live together with her, but she has always refused, insisting on cohabitation after marriage. Leo agreed to her request and decided to give her a romantic wedding. But on the day before the wedding, Ivy encountered heavy rain when she finished work, hoping that Leo could pick her up and take her home. Leo used a business trip as an excuse and told Ivy to take a taxi by herself. Ivy accidentally saw Leo's car and realized that he was lying.
She began to hesitate about whether to continue with this wedding, so she went to her best friend Kayla's house to have a heart-to-heart talk. It was only then that she discovered Leo and Kayla being intimate.
Afterward, it was the scene where she coincidentally ended up with Alexander. In Ivy's memories, Alexander saw how she struggled to raise six siblings alone, how she obtained the Magic Pearl from the river clam, how she was invaded by a snake spirit, and how the flower spirit stole the Magic Pearl from her... It turned out that she ate raw meat because there was a snake spirit inside her. She couldn't explain the reason for her pregnancy because she was controlled by the flower spirit.
And the child she is carrying is not someone else's; it is undoubtedly Alexander's offspring!
