Chapter 13
He understood that the incident had happened three years ago, and he knew that it would take some time to find out.
As time passed by second by second, his heart was still beating fast.
He stared at the phone screen without blinking, so restless that even the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
He almost instantly picked up the phone and asked, “Did you find it?”
On the other end of the phone, the butler’s respectful voice came through: “Mr. Malfoy, the master requests your immediate return to the old mansion.”
Sebastian frowned, “Is Grandpa not feeling well?”
“The old man didn’t say, but his tone was very urgent.”
He hung up the phone and started the engine.
The Malfoy’s manor was brightly lit.
As Sebastian stepped into the living room, a stack of photos flew towards him and landed on him with a loud crash, scattering all over
the floor.
What kind of person have you been chasing after all these years? The old man, leaning on his cane, had a grim expression on his face. “Mr. Malfoy, a man of your stature, working as a bodyguard for a woman

like her?!“”
Sebastian bent down to pick up the photo, his pupils suddenly constricting.
In the photo, Sophia was wearing a sexy short skirt, leaning in the armst of different men, including wealthy men in their fifties and notorious. playboys.
The most dazzling one was when she tiptoed to kiss the side of a married business tycoon, with a calculating look in her eyes.
“Do you think she is a pure white lotus flower untainted by mud? The old man sneered, “The Rowland family’s background is so shallow that they can’t even reach the threshold of high society! This woman will do anything to climb the social ladder!“”
Sebastian clenched the photo, his knuckles turning white.
He suddenly remembered the words he heard at the beauty salon today, thinking that was the limit, but he never expected she would give him. another big surprise.
“Grandpa, I…”
He was about to speak when the butler hurried in: “Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Sophia from the Rowland family has sent a note, saying tomorrow is your birthday and she wants to come personally to give you a gift.”
Sebastian was taken aback.
Tomorrow is his birthday.
He had originally planned to announce Sophia’s identity to everyone at the birthday banquet directly after successfully confessing his love.

Tell everyone, he was indispensable to her.
Now…
The old man slammed the table and stood up, saying, “No way!”
“Let her come, Sebastian suddenly spoke, his voice as cold as ice, “And please, have Mr. Rowland come along as well.”
Just as the butler was about to leave, Sebastian called him back. “Go and find out how Elodie has been doing all these years with the Rowland family,” he said.
The old man squinted his eyes and asked, “What idea do you have now?”
“There are some things I need to confirm. Sebastian raised his gaze, with a tumultuous emotion in his eyes. “Grandfather, give me one more day, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory
answer
The old man snorted, leaning on his cane as he left and threw out a sentence: “Remember, the Malfoy family will never allow such a woman to enter the door!”
It was late at night.
Sebastian stood in the study, looking at the thick stack of documents brought by the butler.
The Kraft paper bag was very light, yet heavy as if weighing a thousand catties.
He took a deep breath and untangled the twisted cotton thread.
Immediately after, with each page turned, the heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Chapter 13
–
The first page is Elodie’s medical record at the age of seven “Reactive mutism, lasting for three months“.
Next to it were the notes of the psychologist: “The patient witnessed his mother’s difficult childbirth and death, which caused severe trauma. On the same day, the father brought his illegitimate daughter home, and the patient showed strong resistance reactions…”
The paper trembled at Sophia’s fingertips.
Turning back, it was the year when Sophia transferred to the prestigious elementary school.
David bought Sophia a custom–made backpack worth one hundred thousand, while Elodie carried the old backpack her mother had bought before she passed away, which had been washed so many times. that it had turned white.
At the age of twelve, Sophia’s birthday banquet was set up with thirty tables, while Elodie was locked in the attic.
At the age of fifteen, Elodie got into a prestigious high school. David refused to pay the tuition, citing “girls reading too many books is useless” as the reason. It was actually her grandfather who secretly gave her the money.
At the age of eighteen, David forcibly took the study abroad spot that should have belonged to Elodie and gave it to Sophia…
On the last page was the diagnostic report from when Elodie was 20 years old.-
Moderate depression with self–harm tendencies.
Sebastian slammed the file shut, his chest aching so much he could barely breathe.
Chapter 13
He suddenly remembered the day of the Rowland family’s birthday. party, Elodie’s hysterical appearance.
At that time, he only thought she was making trouble for no reason, even when Sophia was whipped, he had someone retaliate against her with ninety–nine lashes…
Just before, he was very eager to get the surveillance footage quickly, wanting to know who the person was that had captured his heart.
And now, he suddenly dared not know the answer to that question –
If the person who saved the bird’s nest three years ago was not Sophia
at all…
If that person was Elodie…
If she was the girl who caught his eye at first sight, what did he do to her?
He dared not think further!
