Chapter 99 How Could She Be So Evil?
“You’re the best, Selina,” Amanda said. “I am already embarrassed by how much you had to take cale of me years ago. Now, you’re taking care of my son in the same way. Thank you so much,
Selina.”
Suddenly, Amanda thought Selina was just like a mother with her kind and warm aura.
“Oh, right. I’ve always wanted to ask you this; who is the boy’s father? Are you… divorced? The question had been bothering Selina the entire time, but she just could not find a chance to pop the question.
Amanda’s smile slowly faded away and she sighed. Yes. We’ve been divorced for four years. Aiden had never seen his father before, but he is always yearning for one. Sometimes, I feel guilty for what I’ve done to him.”
She glanced out of the kitchen into the living room where Aiden was intently watching his
cartoons.
Sympathy flashed in Selina’s eyes. “I see. Well, children all need a father. If it’s possible, let him meet his father. Over the past few days, whenever I dropped him off at kindergarten, he would always stare in envy at the other children’s fathers.”
That tugged at Amanda’s heartstrings.
Aiden had recently stopped talking to her about looking for his father. He had also started to avoid telling her she had to make Frederick his father. She thought it was just a phase like most children would go through.
She did not expect to hear him… admire others for having fathers.
Selina continued, “Aiden is such a considerate young man. When I asked him why he doesn’t tell you he wants a father, he replied that you are going through your own difficulties as well, that it’s hard to be a mother. He said that no man alive was a good match for you. Once, he had a suitable candidate in mind, but you didn’t like the man. Since you don’t like the man, he wouldn’t like the man either. He only wants you to be happy.”
Tears swelled in Amanda’s eyes by the time Selina finished speaking.
Her son was very considerate and mature.
Her love for him had not been in vain.
“I suddenly feel immature. How is a child more considerate than I am?” She felt a lump in her throat
Selina smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder. “You have such an amazing son, making me

green with envy. Your relationship with him is literally two hearts united in love.” She sighed.
Two hearts united in love?
Amanda could not resist chuckling-
He had certainly given her hope in the darkest moments of her life. In the past four years, she had only lived because of him.
She headed to the couch in the living room and wrapped her arms around Aiden.
“What are you doing, Mommy? I’m watching cartoons!” Aiden shoved at her with a look of disdain on his face. His eyes remained trained on the television.
His response did not irritate her, and she ducked her head down to kiss his chubby cheek. “What present would you like. Aiden? I’m free to go shopping with you today.”
“Really? Don’t you dare lie to me, Mommy!” Aiden’s eyes lit up with glee.
“Of course! When have I ever lied to you?”
Then, the commercial break started, making him panic. “I want cartoons, Mommy! I don’t want
ads!”
As she moved to the remote control to skip the advertisement, she grumbled under her breath, “Why are there advertisements? I paid for membership. What a scam….
Suddenly, he pointed at the person showing up on the television screen and screamed, “That’s her, Mommy! That’s the evil woman!”
She turned to look at the advertisement being played. It was a skincare brand advertisement featuring Grace.
Confused, she asked, “Evil woman? Do you mean the woman in the advertisement? Why is she
evil?”
“That’s the woman who shouted your name outside the kindergarten gates and pulled on my hair. Mommy!
Amanda was shocked.
At that moment, there was a ringing sound in her ears as her mind went blank. She felt her head going numb as if a bomb had exploded in her mind.
“Wait. Do you mean the woman in this video shouted my name outside the kindergarten and pulled on your hair? Why would she pull on your hair?”
She suddenly recalled that Aiden had told her about a mean woman who had pulled on his hair in

kindergarten. She had assumed he was making up a story back then. After all, who would pull ar his hair for no reason? It might have just been a fight between the children. She had not expected.
it to be Grace!
His black eyes solemnly stared at the television as he continued to point at it. “That’s the woman. She said she knew you. I don’t know why she pulled my hair, though. She ran away soon after.”
Grace ran away after pulling Aiden’s hair.
Why would she do that?
Why did Grace’s weird actions sound so horrifying when he spoke of them?
Amanda’s hair was standing on its ends. Did this mean Grace knew about Aiden?
Suddenly…
Her heart skipped. Did Grace grab some of Aiden’s hair for a paternity test? Was Grace trying to confirm if he was Elias’ child?
As she felt even more certain of her guess, her heart began to race.
Just then, her phone rang.
She had planned to end it since she was not in the mood for a phone call.
However, one glance down at the phone screen revealed that it was a call from Grace. After a few moments of hesitation, she answered the call and held her phone up to her ear.
What she heard was Grace talking to a man.
“I’ve paid you, so go away! Even if they do pinpoint you as the ultimate culprit behind the car crash, you are not allowed to betray me, Grace said.
“Don’t worry. It will never happen. I cleaned up after myself. You know how good I am,” the man
said.
“Hmph! Yeah, right! Remember the trash you hired last time? I told him to kidnap the child and abandon the boy in the mountains. In the end, the child returned safe and sound. Meanwhile, the guy disappeared! Of course, I would worry!”
“Ah, well… I didn’t expect him to be so unreliable either. He was already in the designated area. He just needed to abandon him there. The people who forced him to hand over the boy must have been hired by someone very powerful. He is also a well-known gambler. He would never turn away from more money.”
“Enough with the excuses! Disappear from my sight right now. Do not let anyone know you were involved.”

Doot. Doot…
By the end of the call, Amanda’s hands were trembling, and her face went stark white.
What she had just learned was just too overwhelming.
Did this mean Grace was behind Aiden’s kidnapping as well?
She abruptly felt the urge to charge over to Grace and tear her apart. How could she be so evil?
Grace was going to abandon Aiden in a remote mountainous region only occupied by the poorest villages in the nation. Did she want Amanda to lose Aiden forever?
Grace Murphy!
How could she be so very sinister?
Amanda’s breathing began to come out in harsh pants as her fingers curled into fists. Currently, hate flashed in her eyes.
Since Grace had grabbed a few strands of Aiden’s hair for a paternity test, then she knew the relationship between Aiden and Elias. That was why she hired someone to kidnap Aiden.
That meant Grace would continue to target Amanda and Aiden.
She was certainly capable of anything and everything just so she could marry into the Winters Family to gain Elias’ love.

She sprinted down the stairs but suddenly remembered her pregnancy and slowed down. Clutching the test strip in her hand, she wondered what Elias Winters' reaction would be once he heard the news.
Yet, when Amanda was halfway down the stairs, she saw two figures in the living room—Elias and a sexy woman. Slowing down her steps, she held the handrail tightly and felt her heart sink. That was because she saw her husband and the woman behaving affectionately as though they were a smitten couple.
