My aunt's expression froze. "Who told you this?"
"Aunt Laura, don't hide it from me."
| pressed my lips together. "I cto ask you because | have confirmation. | know that | am from the Shaw
family in Jeswood."
"The... the Shaw family? Is your biological father named Shaw?"
My aunt becinstantly anxious. Despite her weak voice, she bombardedwith questions. "Did they come
looking for you? What happened? Did they treat you badly?"
| was even more certain that my aunt knew something about the events from years ago.
I quickly pressed on. "So, how did | end up with the Wilson family back then?"
"Back then..."
My aunt thought for a moment and looked atwith pity. "Your parents had lost their beloved daughter, and the
doctors said your mother couldn't be pregnant anymore. Later, they went to Jeswood for on a business trip and,

"And then? The Shaw family has been saying all these years that | was kidnapped. Was | really kidnapped. back
then?"
"Yes, you were."
My aunt's becgrew serious. "At that time, your parents were socializing in Jeswood. Your father went to the
car to get swine, and as soon as he opened the car door, you ran inside, asking him to save you. You were
covered in scars, and you know your father is kind-hearted. He couldn't ignore your plea.”
"He had just decided to save you when people started searching everywhere for you. He had no choice but to
lock you in the car, pretending nothing had happened, and went back to the restaurant to continue socializing"
"You were clever and hid quietly under the back seat of the car, covered with a blanket, so you weren't
discovered."
"Those people later searched the restaurant as well. Your parents overheard them mentioning Mrs.
Shaw..."
"Mrs. Shaw?"
My heart skipped a beat.
Was Mrs. Shaw, who was involved in the 'kidnapping' and ‘disappearance’ back then... my mother's doing? "Yes.
But all these years... we thought the Shaw family were your biological parents' enemies." My aunt nodded. "The
people were very cautious and didn't say much, just continued searching elsewhere. After that, fearing for your
safety, they took you back to Jelaston overnight to recuperate. They originally planned to send you to an
orphanage, but your parents couldn't bear to part with you. They decided to keep you and, fearing that those
people might find out, they used their connections to erase

"So that's what happened..."
My heart was a mess as | touched the silver pendant. "So this silver pendant... was the one | wore back then?"
"es."
My aunt looked puzzled. "Your father discreetly investigated and found that among the powerful Shaw family in
Jeswood, there was only one household. But with so many people in the Shaw family, no one with the sumame
Jackson could be found."
"Jackson? What does that have to do with this?" | asked.
"Your silver pendant...

My aunt looked at me. "It has an engraving at the bottom. It's the word ‘Jackson’. Your father discovered it
accidentally, only seeing it clearly with a magnifying glass."
"Jackson?"
| immediately looked down, feeling the base of the silver pendant with my finger. There was indeed an
indentation, but it wasn't very noticeable.
| had thought it was a silver pendant from the Shaw family... but now it seemed like it wasn't.
Doubt began to stir in my heart.
My aunt sighed. "Yes, as for the rest, I'm not so sure."
| composed myself and said, "Aunt Laura, thank you for tellingthis."
This only deepened my suspicions.
It's very likely that Mrs. Shaw wasn't my biological mother.
My aunt shook her head and placed the silver pendant back into my collar. "I'm just glad you don't blme. |
