After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 349

Seeing that Charles was still willing to defend her, Flora felt a wave of relief.

She nodded quickly. “The wind is a bit strong out here anyway. I’ll go inside and rest for a bit…”

As Flora was leaving, she happened to overhear Ivy's voice.

“Aunt Roxanne, are you really going to announce Lilith’s true parentage on the day of her funeral?”

Flora stopped in her tracks.

True parentage?

What other parentage could Lilith possibly have?

She couldn’t help but continue listening.

Ivy spoke again.

“Aunt Roxanne, since Lilith was already accepted into the Rowan family and is now deceased, why can’t this secret just stay hidden?”

Bradley interjected, “Ivy, Mrs. Brent must have her reasons for doing this.

Besides, Aria and the Rowan family are on such bad terms right now. This might be an opportunity to reconcile.”

What on earth was the issue that Ivy was so opposed to it?

After a moment, Flora finally heard Roxanne speak.

“Who could have imagined that after the two children were switched at birth, they would, by some twist of fate, be switched back again?”

Flora’s eyes widened in shock.

What did Roxanne mean by that? Could it be that Lilith wasn't actually Roxanne's child? That Aria was?

That was too absurd!

She remembered that when Lilith was first brought back into the family, a DNA test was done immediately. How could there be a mistake?

But…

Flora suddenly recalled something Lilith had told her. Lilith had said that the DNA test was done, but she had never once seen the results herself.

Everything was based on what Roxanne had told her.

If Roxanne knew Lilith was an impostor, why did she acknowledge her as her daughter back then?

If he hadn’t come here this time, he might never have known that Nathan had kept Sylvia as a mistress.

That kind of thinking would make him pay dearly!

“Honored guests, thank you all very much for attending the funeral of my daughter, Lilith.”

Roxanne stepped forward and bowed deeply.

Aria had already walked through the entire funeral, but she hadn’t found anyone suspicious.

The only people who knew about Sylvia were a select few.

It wasn’t Flora, it wasn’t Charles, and it wasn’t Gideon. That only left… Roxanne and Nathan, didn't it?

Aria watched the tearful Roxanne speak, a sense of surprise welling up inside her.

With Nathan's male chauvinism, would he actually allow Roxanne to speak on his behalf?

In all her years with the Rowan family, Roxanne had always been like the model wife from some old storybook, making Nathan the center of her universe. Anyone who knew her praised her devotion.
