Chapter 536: The Explanation

Selma Payne’s POV:
She waved the letter and said in a low voice, “Now 1 know that my guess is true…
“As for my biological father, I won’t hide it from you, Your Highness. I’ve never heard of such a person in the family. I was once puzzled about what gave my people the courage to reach for the throne. The answer was my father, and even me.
“I… I’m sorry, Your Highness, 1 don’t know what to say. All of this is too absurd, it gives me a feeling of illusion. I even felt like 1 was dreaming. 1 actually have… 1 don’t know how to put it. Are you going to kill me, Your Highness?”????????????????????????????????.????????????
I shook my head and asked, “Of course not. Why do you ask? In fact, I’ve long known that the previous head of your family had an affair with my great-grandfather, and even secretly gave birth to an illegitimate child. Otherwise, why do you think I want the Evaria Family never to rise again? As for your life, it doesn’t matter anymore. Kid, I’ll deal with you when you plan to do something.”
“I have no second thoughts, Your Highness,” he immediately clarified. 1 don’t dare to express my loyalty to you, but I still have the most basic self-awareness.”
However, having one’s family scandal exposed in public, even Sisley felt his face heat up, not to mention the am 1 dreaming’ expression on Casti’s face.
“So, so, Sisley is actually…”
I ignored him, but that was enough to answer my question.
Putting aside how much of a shock Casti had received, I looked at Sisley and stated my purpose for coming. “I hope to go to your father’s grave and look.”
Without asking why he immediately agreed.
The Evaria Family’s cemetery wasn’t too big, and most of their family members were transported back to their hometown for burial after death. The grave of the sickly man who died early was not eye-catching. Compared to the grand expectations he had carried when he was alive, this ordinary tombstone was ironic.
“This is it, Your Highness.” The grave he had been guarding all this time belonged to his biological father. He couldn’t help but look at the tombstone with a complicated expression.
The tombstone was very simple. There was nothing but the photo, name, and year of birth and death of the deceased.
“Jack Evaria, a very ordinary name.”
The man in the photo looked ordinary, and his slightly sunken cheeks showed that he had been suffering from illness and pain in his life.
For some reason, I had a feeling that he looked a little familiar.
Of course, 1 knew what my great-grandfather looked like, and I’d also seen the photos of the former head of the Evaria Family, who had long passed away. As their descendant, Jack could be said to have no similarities with his own grandparents, which meant that he didn’t inherit his father’s looks, and his mother’s genes were more apparent.
Who exactly did he look like? Why did he look so familiar to me…
I noticed the date of birth on the tombstone, which made me suddenly recall some details.
Over thirty years ago, Julie had gone to the Lycan pack alone. After that, there was no news about her until she went to the manor to be a servant.
Jack Evaria’s birth date coincided with the time of Julie’s disappearance.
Looking at the photo again, I finally realized where the sense of familiarity came from. Slightly pointy ears, a high nose, and the corners of the mouth drooped down unconsciously when he was expressionless. All these details seemed to have been copied and pasted from Julie’s face.
A creepy guess gradually formed…
Could Julie be Jack Evaria’s biological mother?
However, it was impossible for the two parties involved to verify it now. We couldn’t do a paternity test for the two cans of ashes.
I turned my gaze to Sisley.
Upon closer inspection, he looked quite similar to his father, but some details had been diluted by other genes and had become blurry. If a professional were to adjust a portrait of him, he would be almost 90% similar to his father.
If, just say, Julie and Jack Evaria were mother and son, and the son harmed the mother, would she remember the memories of when she was alive when this tragic mother saw her ‘son’?
No matter what, it was worth a try.
My strange gaze made his hair stand on end, but he quickly realized that something even more terrifying was about to happen.
I left without a word and ordered him to be secretly invited to the Sorcery Research Association at night.
There were many special personnel in the army who were good at disguising themselves, and I asked Aldrich to pick someone I could trust. He quickly solved the problem and asked me, “Do you really think this will work?”
“I’m not sure, but we can only try this as a last resort.” I leaned on him and sighed tiredly. “In fact, Layla’s can be concluded now. It must be the Evaria Family. But I have to investigate further because too many innocent people are involved. Not only Layla but also Master Kevin, Julie, and many others whose memories were taken away without them knowing. Since I can dig out the truth, 1 must carry it out to the end and give everyone an explanation..”
