Twins Secret (Tiffany)

Chapter 196 Suspicions About Tiffany's Family Lauren knew exactly what Tiffany was talking about. She just curled her lips and smiled, "Miss Grey, are you sure you're not mistaken about something?" "Stop pretending, Ms. Simpson. I know it was all your doing. Of course, you can do whatever you want, but this is my personal business. Isn't it a bit intrusive for you to get involved?" Tiffany's eyes were cold and sharp.

Lauren chuckled softly, walked up to Tiffany, and lightly patted her shoulder.

"Miss Grey, I did promise not to tell anyone about your family matters, and I kept that promise. I never mentioned it to anyone. It was your parents who spread the word, not me." Lauren added, "Besides, I brought your parents to Harmony City as a big surprise. Isn't it a good thing for you to reunite with your family? Why are you so resistant, Miss Grey?" After hearing Lauren's words, Tiffany couldn't tell if she was genuinely clueless or just pretending.

Vernon was a jerk, and Leila... she didn't deserve to be called a mother! Tiffany would rather not have such a family! But Lauren's words made it clear she didn't understand that sfamily relationships are better left in the past. "Ms. Simpson, I don't need a family, especially not them. Do you understand?" Tiffany lowered her voice, glanced at the wall, and pointed in that direction. "If you insist on siding with them, then I have nothing more to say to you." Lauren's eyes flashed with confusion as she watched Tiffany leave, utterly perplexed. Why did Tiffany hate her family so much? Lauren didn't understand. She had seen so many heartwarming family reunions, but Tiffany and her parents seemed different.

After a moment, Lauren walked outside, closed the door, and returned to the wall. She knocked on the wall, hearing a hollow sound, and pressed down.

The wall slowly opened from the middle, revealing a passage.

Lauren walked through and arrived at a room. She opened the door to find Leila and Vernon sitting on the bed, looking delighted.

"Ms. Simpson, has Tiffany left?" Leila asked with a smile.

"She's gone," Lauren replied coolly, watching their expressions.

Leila extended her hand, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "Ms. Simpson, about the money you promised us..." "Here you are," Lauren said, pulling a card from her pocket and tossing it to Leila.

"There's a million dollars on this card, no password. You can use it as you wish, but I need you to answer something seriously." Lauren's eyes bore into Leila's, trying to see if they were lying.

Leila looked uneasy and quickly averted her gaze.

"Ms. Simpson, what do you want to ask?" Leila stammered, her expression unnatural.

Lauren took a photo from her pocket. It was a family photo of four.

The parents were Leila and Vernon. The other two were a baby Connor and a thinly dressed Tiffany, standing far from the others. Leila and Vernon held Connor, smiling warmly.

Lauren gently touched the photo, staring at Tiffany's malnourished, frail face.

"When I found you, you said you were Tiffany's parents and that you treated her well. If you're such a loving family, why did Tiffany run away from you? Why does she get so angry when she hears about you?" Lauren's questions turned into accusations.

She didn't understand human emotions well, but she could see and feel.

She could clearly sense Tiffany's rejection of her family, which didn't match Leila's description of a harmonious family.

Lauren had brought them to Harmony City after hearing rumors of Tiffany being disrespectful to her family, thinking it could be used against her.

But after meeting Tiffany, Lauren realized the thing wasn't what it seemed.

"Ms. Simpson, you know Tiffany is ungrateful. She's mad because we exposed her. We cto Harmony City to help you, Ms. Simpson. How can you doubt us now?" Leila pretended to be angry but clutched the card tightly, afraid Lauren would take it back.

Lauren gave them one last look and didn't ask further.

"You can go." Leila sighed in relief and hurriedly left with Vernon.

When Tiffany knocked on Lauren's door, Lauren had hidden them in the secret room.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for Don't miss out on the for free D next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Now, Lauren dismissed her doubts as mere overthinking.

Leila and Vernon left the neighborhood, grinning from ear to ear.

Leila kissed the card, barely restraining herself from shouting about their windfall.

But she chose to be discreet, quietly putting the card back in her pocket.

"We made a fortune in Harmony City, Leila. Shouldn't we head back now?" Vernon asked.

Leila rolled her eyes and poked his forehead.

"Vernon, are you stupid? We just got $1.5 million. Didn't you hear Connor? Tiffany has her own studio. That as ungrateful girl wants to make money and hide from us. We can't leave now. That would be too easy for her." Leila didn't want to leave after getting such a benefit. Staying in Harmony City meant more money, and she wasn't ready to return to their poor village.

But Vernon was still worried and tugged at Leila's sleeve.

"What if Ms. Simpson finds out we're lying?" "Don't forget, we never told Ms. Simpson how we mistreated Tiffany when she was little..." Vernon felt uneasy, but Leila cut him off.

"Enough, Vernon. Ms. Simpson hasn't found out. As long as we're careful, no one will know. People sympathize with the weak, so we just need to keep playing the victims. Ms. Simpson and others will believe us." Leila's words eased Vernon's worries, and they quickly took a cab back to the hotel.

But they didn't know that Lauren, always meticulous, had started re-investigating Tiffany's family history.
