章節 1588: The Mystery of Bella's Background

It turned out that the child was not Shelly's biological child, and here he was, thinking that Shelly had a child with a random man.

He did not know what he was feeling at the moment, so he listened quietly as his mother said, "I did have my own concerns at that time. On the one hand, I thought Shelly bringing a child back would inevitably cause controversy, such that it would be bad for the Winters' reputation and it would also affect your relationship with Zoe. So, I told her to send the child to the orphanage and I'd think of a way to get a good family to adopt her. On the other hand, how could Shelly marry into a good family if she raises that child? Upon considering her happiness for the rest of her life, I insisted that she handle things according to my methods, and only then would I agree to let her return to our family. However, I didn't expect my good intentions to hurt Shelly instead and make her hate the Winters so much."
