Chapter 1222 The Truth of the Year
She turned to look at Cathleen.
Cathleen picked up the coffee on the table and sipped it: “Go on and tell them the truth of that year.”
As if regaining courage from Cathleen, the old woman nodded: “Mrs. Swift, Yvonne’s father is a famous gambler in
our town. Because of gambling, all the house deposits at home have been lost, and he still owes debts.”
“He is not only good at gambling, but also a rotten wife-beater. Yvonne’s mother left everything at home and ran
away because she couldn’t stand being beaten by him again and again. Since then, she has never come back.”
“Even so, Yvonne’s father still gambles outside all day and owes more and more debts.”

bought for five thousand dollars.”
Margot’s face was blue. She pressed the armrest of the sofa tightly with one hand. She gnashed her teeth, “Then
why did you say she was abducted?”
Looking down, the old woman did not dare to look into her eyes. “It was Yvonne who told us to say so. She said that
if she went to the city and became the daughter of a rich family, she would give us a lot of money in the future.”
“When we have money, we can buy a son.”
“At that time, we were also blindfolded. When we heard her say this, we were interested.”
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Swift, Mr. Swift.” The old woman’s husband buried his head and apologized. “We did it wrong. We
shouldn’t deceive you for money, which caused you to find the wrong daughter.”
“We are here today to apologize and make amends.”
“What did you say? Did Yvonne let you say those words to lie to us?” Patrick was so shocked that he couldn’t
believe.
Yvonne was only six years old.
How can a six-year-old girl have such deep scheming and shrewdness?
This is a huge contrast from the clever, obedient and naive daughter in their impression.
The old couple didn’t dare to look up at them: “Mr. Swift, Mrs. Swift, we’re sorry.”
Then, the old woman turned and looked at Cathleen. She asked in a low voice with some uneasiness: “Madam, you
said that as long as we tell the truth of that year, you will no longer care about the things of that year.”
“Of course. I will not go back on my word.” Cathleen saw the old couple’s fear and worry. She waved and ordered

Moments later…
The assistant left with the old couple.
In the hall, it was so quiet that the sound of a needle fell to the ground can be heard.
Margot and Patrick frowned. Both of them clenched their fists, breathing heavily.
Cathleen is not surprised by the reaction of the two people at the moment.
She tidied up her clothes and hair slowly, took her satchel, and stood up slowly.
“If you still don’t believe it, you can investigate the matter yourself. By the way, Yvonne’s father will be released
from prison soon. If he knows that his daughter has been adopted by a rich family, he will inevitably come to the
Swift family to pester.”
“It’s up to you concerning what to do next.”
