Celine's face was filled with sorrow and distress.
"As the only surviving bloodline of the Pierce family, I had to shoulder the responsibility. Rory's wife passed away suddenly from grief, leaving two children in the mansion. As their aunt, I took over the care of the children and temporarily stayed in this mansion." I seized on the loophole in her words and asked, "Temporary?" She glanced at me, not responding directly, and continued, "It was chaotic at that time." Celine calmly recounted the events, and if I didn't know the whole story, I might have been moved by her kindness.
Suppressing my inner anger, I maintained a faint smile, watching her continue performing.

"Little did we know, that night, someone took Rory's daughter away during the chaos. It wasn't until morning that she was discovered missing, and the Pierce family immediately sent people to track her down. Many days later, they found the child in a welfare institution in the west." "Are you sure she was taken away and not sent away?" I asked with a smirk.
She looked atfirmly and said, "Yes, she was taken away." Then, she shifted her gaze and continued, "I intended to bring the girl back, but just as my men arrived, someone tried to take her away again, resulting in her falling off a cliff and dying." There was a collective sigh from the crowd.
"I felt guilty because my father had orderedto bring the girl back at all costs, especially since she had grown up with the members of the Pierce family." I narrowed my eyes at Celine, who showed no signs of panic. She remained calm, like a screenwriter laying out a plot with logical clarity and no loopholes.
Everyone in the room was completely absorbed in her interpretation of the events. Especially the younger generation, they were undoubtedly misled and thoroughly convinced by her explanation of the incident.
"My father intended to use this to lure out Rory but with the girl's death, I knew I couldn't escape blame. I had to suppress the incident and bring back anotherorphan from the swelfare institution, who is now my adopted daughter to replace Rory's daughter." Content belongs to en.kikistories"Aunt Celine, it seems you put a lot of thought into this," I praised her.
Celine was shameless indeed, presenting her reason for taking over the Pierce family's mansion back then as if it were the most natural thing.

They were earnestly watching her perform like they were all brainwashed fools.
I had to admit that she was a great actress.

"Unfortunately, we've had no news of Rory. However, someone pretending to be Rory's daughter has appeared frequently, hoping to join the Pierce family. For so many years, she's been relentless Content belongs to en.kikistoriesSW As she spoke, she sneered, clearly insinuating that I was one of those impostors trying to be a part of her family.
"What a shameless and despicable woman!" A middle-aged woman looked atand cursed, then stole a glance at Atlas, who had been watching all this with cold eyes.
Celine immediately added, "Furthermore, the Pierce family has never given up on finding Rory, but this person is cunning. He was always eluding us with the help of his classmate, Clark." I was speechless. She had a convincing argument. Even the despicable man whom she had bought off had, in her words, becmy father's accomplice.
How impressive. I scrutinized her coldly as she continued to tell her story.
"I had tried every means to find Rory through Clark but failed repeatedly. However, the investigation at the trevealed that Clark had seen Rory the night before my brother's plane crashed." She stared into my eyes, smiling. "After that, the person on the plane was replaced with a double. Yes, it wasn't Rory at all." Her revelation elicited gasps from the crowd.
