novelxo Chapter 566 Tears
George arrived home when Clarissa and Seth reached Seth's house.
Seth brought Clarissa into a cozy room, but she was experiencing jet lag and couldn't sleep. She was nervous as she was about to meet her mother, and that might change her future forever. Anyhow, she stayed awake the entire night.
The next day, she went to Victor's house together with George and Seth.
"This is my son and my daughter-in-law, Betty," George told the butler.
The servant, Mrs. Dane, secretly took a picture of them when Clarissa left for the kitchen.
Clarissa couldn't stop crying when she saw Victor. She had dreamt of meeting him since forever.
Victor, on the other hand, was equally excited.
Then, he took out a piece of paper from under his pillow.
"The key is with Charles, but he doesn't know what it's for."
That was a smart move from Victor, as Charles would only pass the key to his own daughter.
That meant only the daughter and Charles could get the money out.
After that, Victor typed a bunch of numbers on Clarissa's phone along with a message. [Burn the paper and memorize the password. Don't let anyone see it!]
Clarissa did as she was told.
Victor then pointed at the attic, telling Clarissa that her mother was there.
George unlocked the door for her.
There was a woman inside, and she turned to look at the newcomers with a confused expression.
Clarissa's heart broke into pieces at the sight of the real Iris.
That was her mother... Her biological mother!
However, Iris's condition had worsened since the last time she saw Victor. She stared blankly at Clarissa, her face dull and emotionless.
"Mom... Mom...!" Clarissa knelt down and started crying.
She once cried this way when she was with Theresa.
But this time, it was with her biological mother.
Iris remained silent and began to gently stroke Clarissa's hair.
She couldn't stand the feelings whirling inside her, but she instinctively understood that this was her true daughter.
"Mom, I'm so sorry... I should've come earlier!" Clarissa wept.
