Chapter 674: She gave me life, she is my biological mother
Ivy was very satisfied with the current situation. The more people gathered around, the more publicity there would be, and her mother would soon be able to shed the label of being a "mistress".
After clearing her throat, she continued, "The news is that Scarlett's biological father, Mr. Simmons, has tragically passed away..."
"Tragically passed away?"
"Definitely caused by that vixen Isadora!"
"Yes, it must be!"
Ivy continued, "Even more astonishing news is that as soon as her father's body turned cold, Isadora brought another man into the Ross family, and this man is Marcus, the man Scarlett has been searching for for ten months!"
"Despicable woman!"
"Shameless couple!"
"They deserve to die!"
The onlookers couldn't help but angrily curse.
Ivy sighed and continued, "Scarlett is truly pitiful. Her father has died, her mother has died, her best friend betrayed her, her beloved man abandoned her, her family mansion was occupied, and all her possessions have become someone else's. As the Ross family's young lady, she can't even support her own daughter. If it were any of you, what would you do?"
"Of course, we would take back our family property!"
"And make the shameless couple pay the price they deserve!"
Ivy helplessly smiled and said, "Scarlett is a weak new mother, holding two newborn babies in her arms. What can she use to fight against these scumbags?
Back then, Isadora was properly married to Mr. Simmons, and Scarlett herself broke off the father-daughter relationship in front of everyone. Even if she is Mr. Simmons' biological daughter, once the relationship is severed, she has no way to claim the property that rightfully belongs to her."
"What should we do then?" someone asked anxiously.
"If you can't get it, then destroy it!"
"You're right, we can always sacrifice everything!"
Hearing the discussions of the onlookers, Ivy's lips curled up slightly, "That's exactly what Scarlett did. Unable to claim her inheritance, she gave her children to others and returned to the old Ross family mansion alone in the middle of the night, setting it on fire!
That night, Isadora perished in the flames, Scarlett herself was severely burned, and Marcus..."
"What happened to him?"
"He must have been burned to death, right?"
"A person like that deserves to die in the fire!"
Ivy shook her head, "His... whereabouts are unknown!"
"Unknown?"
"He didn't escape, did he?"
"That kind of person didn't die in the fire?"
Seeing the indignation on the faces of the crowd, Ivy felt a great sense of comfort.
Facing everyone, she said, "Everyone, you all now know the truth about the old lady being disfigured. I hope that if you ever see her again, you won't harm her or attack her.
Please inform me of her whereabouts as soon as possible. If she still refuses to see me like today, then please help her in any way you can.
If she's hungry, give her something to eat; if she's thirsty, give her a drink... Let's be compassionate and understanding towards her."
"Drink water. She fell ill, so I took her to the hospital. I will definitely repay you at all costs..."
Ivy said, tears streaming down her face.
She bowed deeply to the crowd and said, "Thank you all!"
Curious, someone asked, "What is your relationship with that old lady? Why are you so kind to her?"
With tears in her eyes, Ivy replied, "She gave me life. She is my birth mother."
"I see!" the crowd suddenly realized.
The owner of the steamed bun shop frowned and said, "Since she is your birth mother, why didn't you bring her back home earlier? She has been living outside all these years!"
Tears shimmering, Ivy said, "I grew up in an orphanage, thinking that I had no family. I only recently discovered the truth about Scarlett.
After finding out about my origins, I have been searching for my mother. When I met her just now, I strongly felt that she was my mother, but she refused to acknowledge me and ran away.
When I chased her to a corner, she suddenly disappeared. You have no idea how anxious I was. I wished she would come back with me immediately so that I could care for her properly..."
At this point, Ivy couldn't hold back her tears.
