In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 406 The Truth

Adeline was shocked when she saw this. Was this really her son, Reggie?

Was this the Reggie who didn't want to interact with other people and who was always lost in his own world?

Adeline couldn't believe this!

Then, she looked at Grace gratefully.

Grace held Reggie's hand. "Good boy, Reggie! You're the best!"

Reggie nodded obediently.

Adeline was extremely emotional. Reggie had never interacted with a stranger like this in his entire life, but Grace had managed to do it.

This made her feel extremely grateful to Grace.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Grace shook her head slightly. "You're welcome. There's nothing wrong with Reggie, so let's not treat him as a problematic child."

Adeline nodded vigorously. "I know. I know about it all …"

Even though Xander and Grace hadn't managed to find out about Jessica from Adeline, they still felt that it had been worth the trip.

"Ms. Wentworth, if there isn't anything else, we'll take our leave. Thank you for your time today."

Grace and Xander turned to leave when they had finished speaking.

The two of them had just reached the entrance of the bookstore when Adeline rushed up to them. "Wait!"

Grace stopped.

Adeline ran in front of her and said, "You're right, the current Jessica is a fake!"

When she said this, Grace's heart skipped a beat. Although she had guessed that this was a possibility, she still wanted to know the entire truth of the matter.

Adeline looked around and said in a small voice, "Come with me. I'll take you somewhere."

Grace looked at Xander in surprise, then nodded at Adeline, who turned and shut the bookstore's front door. She told the staff to look after Reggie and then went out with Grace and Xander.

…

On the way there, Grace couldn't help asking, "Ms. Wentworth, where are you taking us?"

Adeline just said, "You'll know in a moment."

Grace's curiosity grew even stronger, and she began to feel a little excited. The car drove steadily on, and they finally reached the city's outskirts as per the location that Adeline had given them.

When the car stopped, Grace saw several huge letters some distance away, and a bold theory began to form in her mind.

"Ms. Wentworth, is this a cemetery?" Grace asked uncertainly.

But this time, Adeline didn't try to hide anything. She murmured in assent, "The answer you want is here."

Then, she got out of the car first.

Grace and Xander followed closely, and the three of them climbed down some stairs. They kept going until they reached a point halfway down the hill, where Adeline stopped.

She didn't say anything but continued walking straight along the path that ran beside the right side of the cemetery. After about ten paces, she stopped in front of a tombstone.

"What … what's going on?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Adeline didn't answer Grace but reached out to clean off the dust on the tombstone instead.

When she had finished cleaning, she said slowly, "You're right. The current Jessica isn't the real Jessica. My friend died five years ago in that car accident."

Her words shocked Grace. Although Grace had thought of many possibilities, she had never thought that the real Jessica had already died.

Then, who was the current Jessica?

Grace had clearly felt that there seemed to be a huge feud between the current Jessica and her, judging by the latter's animosity toward her.

Grace looked up and asked, "Then, do you know who the current "Jessica" is?"
