When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1173 Investigate Her

Elliot had been blissfully unaware, but upon asking, he was taken aback.

“Dylan, how are you so sure that Queenie is your granny?”

Dylan paused, gazing at Elliot, taking a moment before answering, “My mommy said that lady is not my real granny.”

“A fake granny?” Elliot couldn’t believe it.

Dylan nodded and lowered his voice. “Elliot, I’m only telling you this. You mustn’t tell anyone else.”

“All right.”

Elliot readily agreed, leading Dylan to a corner to hear him speak.

Dylan then said to Elliot, “I overheard my mommy talking on the phone with my real granny. They were saying that this Mdm. Queenie isn’t my mommy’s mother…”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Initially. Elliot only intended to casually inquire about the situation. Little did he know that he would unearth such at shocking secret. However, Dylan is just a little over four years old, so what he says might not necessarily be accurate. Here could Queenie, a woman as astute as she is, mistake someone else as her biological daughter? Hasn’t she done a DNA test?

“Didn’t your mommy get a DNA test done with her?” Elliot asked.

4 DNA test? Dylan looked puzzled. “Elliot, what is a DNA test?”

“It’s a type of test they perform in hospitals to determine if your mommy and Mdm. Queenie are related by blood,” Elliot explained.

Dylan was still utterly confused. He simply couldn’t comprehend what Elliot was saying, so he shook his head.

Elliot understood as well. This kid probably only knows this much.

After Dylan followed Cassina back, Elliot eagerly sought out Cecilia, sharing his discovery as if he were presenting a treasure.

“Mommy, Dylan told me just now that he’s actually not Queenie’s biological grandson,”

Cecilia couldn’t believe it. “What?”

“He also mentioned that he overheard his mommy speaking with his granny from back then, saying the same thing.” Elliot said.

Cecilia had never even considered this possibility. After all, who would acknowledge a daughter without conducting a DNA test?

After hearing what Elliot said and considering the way Cassina always avoided her gaze, along with other signs, Cecilia felt it was highly probable.

However, Dylan was still a child. The words he spoke held no evidence and were, therefore, unreliable.

“Eli, you should go rest now. Thank you for letting me know about all this.”

“Sure, Mommy. If there’s anything else you want to know, just let me do the snooping. I’m pretty good at it, too,” Elliot said, feeling like he was playing the role of a spy.

“All right, but there’s nothing I need. Sweetie, you go do your homework now.”

Whenever the topic of homework came up, Elliot seemed somewhat deflated.

“All right, then.”

He went about his homework with a heavy heart.

Cecilia was seated on the couch, eyes shut in peaceful contemplation. At that moment, she was mulling over the fact that Cassina was not Queenie’s biological daughter. If that’s indeed the case, Cassina must have deceived Queenie. The reason she didn’t Mdm. Bailey’s disappearance!

At that moment, Cecilia’s mind was a complete mess, unable to make sense of the relationships involved.

She passed on the information to Sven, asking him to investigate it to see if he could uncover anything unexpected.

Meanwhile, Cassina returned home with Dylan. Cassandra pulled her aside into a room and reprimanded her, “Aren’t you scared that Cecilia might find out what’s going on? Why do you keep running off to her when there’s no need?”

Cassina felt somewhat helpless as she said, “Today, I actually tried to stop Dylan from going over there. However, Cecilia brought El over on their own initiative. I didn’t feel right about refusing to let the two kids play together.”

“When are you planning to handle the task I assigned you?” Cassandra asked again.
