Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 67
Chapter 67: The Real Life
Eloise’s POV:
I knew the only reason Soren came at this time, but I still didn’t dare to face it.
On the one hand, if I weren’t the heir of their family, these things would have brought us too much trouble. I wouldn’t even have time to explain it to Chloe. But, on the other hand, if I was, then…
“However, this is something you must go through. You have no choice but to face him.” The wolf urged me to open the door. I took a deep breath and quickly pulled it open.
This time, it was not just Soren who stood outside the door. Instead, a group of people looked like guards behind him. They looked very anxious as if they were in a hurry to do something.
It made me feel very uncomfortable, like an animal in a zoo.
“Do you need something?” When I asked this question, I felt I was foolish. Wasn’t this the exact thing he would ask me?
“The results are out.” He sounded like he had just finished exercising.
“But I think you should be the first to know.”
He handed me an envelope. I looked at it and suddenly felt full of energy. I tore it apart with all my might.
My parents were no longer alive, so this test was done on Mr. and Mrs. Cotton and me.
The facts had proven that we were indeed related by blood.
I looked up at Soren with my eyes widened and turned the report to him. “1 am indeed a family member of the Cotton family,” I said with great difficulty
“What? My dear, what did you say?” When he saw what we were doing, he let out a cry of surprise and fell to the ground.
A few minutes later, she slowly woke up. She seemed to be completely shocked by the news.
“1 thought you would marry into a wealthy family or something, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. You are from a wealthy family!”
“Do I need to go to your place now?” I raised my head and looked at Soren.
“No, of course. There’s no need to rush. But have you ever thought about how you will deal with Atticus? This is going to be very complicated.”
I could understand what Chloe was thinking. This had now become a matter between two families. But I thought this happened after the mate connection was broken.
Chloe stood up slowly. It seemed like she had finally digested this information. She looked even happier than I was. She hugged me, almost lifting me and spinning me around.
“Alright. No matter what, you’re no longer in any danger. This is the best news I’ve received today,” she said softly.
“Now, you should do what you need to do… Don’t worry. If you need me, I’ll be there.”
“Really, thank you so much.” I hugged her.
“Soren said he’ll be holding a party to celebrate my return in two days.”
I could already predict who would be invited.
Of course, Atticus was also invited to this reveal. He stood there and looked at
Although he still looked very calm, I could already see the disbelief in his eyes. In fact, I felt the same. I simply couldn’t believe that I had such a fate.
But I was very grateful he remained calm and didn’t say anything to me the whole time. This was the best situation I could imagine.
After that day, I remained in my job because I really liked it. However, my colleagues’ attitudes were different from before. Those who couldn’t stand talking to me had become more enthusiastic.
I could understand this very well. After all, my current status was different from the past. Therefore, I was happy to interact with those who came up to chat with me. After all, this was a professional consideration, so it wasn’t a bad choice.
But before I could get over it, I received an unexpected call on my first morning back at work. Someone wanted to see me at the front desk and needed me to go down.
I didn’t know who it was, but I had to go. When I reached the door, I was almost ready to escape.
‘Vlt’s Atticus.” My wolf howled in surprise.
‘VHow could he still be here?”
“I’m here to discuss the matter of removing the mate connection,” he looked at me and said calmly.
“I think now is a good time..”
