Chapter 252 Half Sister

"Strange. What happened to your neck?" Isabella asked directly.

Elaine looked over. The familiar scene momentarily stunned her.

In truth, Zendaya was already feeling itchy. "I'm fine. It's just an allergic reaction. I'll go take care of it."

Having said that, she left.

"She's allergic? To alcohol?" Elaine asked. "It seems she has a sensitive constitution."

Isabella also thought it quite peculiar. Previously, when they had gathered together, she had never seen Zendaya drink alcohol.

Subconsciously, she used the system to take a quick peek.

Elaine went back to catch up with her old friends. She ranted about Clifford treating Zendaya as a mere substitute, which she found utterly unjust and inhumane.

Everyone was at a loss for words. Clifford's behavior was indeed inhumane, bug Elaine's reaction was also unexpectedly surprising.

While using the system, Isabella was lost in a daze. Hence, Alexander stood up, pulled her back to her seat. and used a towel to wipe off the wine that had accidentally splashed onto her fingers. No way! What are the odds? Isabella widened her eyes.

Alexander had become immune to Isabella's thoughts, so his actions remained calm.

Both of them are allergic to lemons, and they look so similar. Could it be that Elaine has a long-lost sister? Is it really that cliché? Isabella slightly furrowed her brows.

At that point, even Alexander lost his composure. With the accumulation of various elements, it was clearly not a mere coincidence that could be easily explained away.

However, Alexander had never heard of the Graham family losing any family members. Could it be an illegitimate child? Elaine's parents were genuinely in love and doted on Elaine excessively, though. While Alexander was deep in thought, Isabella was replaceing the situation even stranger.

Isabella recalled the initial twist involving Evian and her son. Sometimes, if the matter weren't something the person involved already knew, Isabella would need to dig deep into the system to uncover the truth. Therefore, when Isabella previously looked into the information of Zendaya and Elaine, she only saw the surface details and didn't notice anything amiss.

At that moment, Isabella actually had the patience to take a closer look. Hmm, the details about Zendaya are relatively straightforward. Her parents passed away early in a car accident, and no family members on either side could be reached, so she was sent to an orphanage where she grew up. She did have memories of her parents since she was young, and since she bore a resemblance to her mother, it seems she was the biological child of her mother. As for Elaine... D*wn, is this for real? I didn't expect Elaine's current mother not to be her biological one.

Realization struck Alexander when he heard that, and he suspected a possibility.

I see. This is outrageous. So, tohen Elaine was young, she saw her biological mother having an affair and eloped. She was very young then, so she desperately clung to her mother, refusing to let her mother leave. In a panic, her mother pushed her away, resulting in her tumbling down the stairs. Even after she was injured due to the fall, she still tried to Teach for her mother's hand. However, her mother, with tears streaming down her face, apologized and pulled away. She watched helplessly as her mother ran off with a paramour. That left Elaine not only physically wounded but emotionally scarred as well. Isabella grimaced.

When Alexander saw that Isabella was already consumed by righteous indignation, he couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the vibrant and jovial Elaine. It's impossible to tell she went through all that just by looking

at her.

It's no wonder Old Mr. and Mrs. Graham were livid and forced Mr. Graham to marry another woman. After all, they disapproved of his marriage with his first wife, Elaine's mother. It was only through Mr. Graham's resistance that he could marry her. However, after enduring the betrayal of his wife, he was disheartened, and he no longer had the will to resist. His only wish was for his daughter to be well. Hmm, it seems he was somewhat resistant to his new wife initially, given that his new marriage was essentially forced upon him by his parents. However, to his surprise, his new wife genuinely cared for Elaine. She took care of Elaine for a long time, nursing her back to health. In the end, Elaine accepted her stepmother even before her father did, even going as far as to regard her as her own mother. However, Mr. Graham still hadn't moved on and was still searching for Elaine's biological mother. It's not because he wanted his first wife back. He just wanted closure. However, one day, he told Elaine that her mother had passed away years ago, asking if she wished to visit the grave. Elaine declined outright, emphasizing that she only had one mother. Meantchile, her stepmother, due to her deep affection for her, had decided not to have children of her own. Elaine's relationship with her stepmother was extremely tight, so she had long forgotten about her so-called biological mother. Isabella appeared. deep in thought.

Suddenly, Alexander had a moment of realization. When Zendaya had the allergic reaction earlier, even Isabella had all sorts of conjectures. However, Elaine did not.

Maybe she was subconsciously resisting anything potentially related to her birth mother, so her instincts were helping her reject this information. Still, she's Elaine, a flamboyant and fearless woman. Could she really not harbor any doubts

at all?

Meanwhile, the more Isabella investigated, the more suspicious she became.

After all, both Elaine and Zendaya lost their mothers. That coincidence was already frightening enough.

Even though these two mothers have different names, Zendaya's age is... The time when Elaine's biological mother cloped was... Dmn, it's actually highly probable! Could the world really be this ridiculously cliche? Isabella was so engrossed with the gossip that she didn't even have the time to entertain the people trying to talk to her.

"Isabella? Isabella?" Elaine asked in puzzlement

Alexander said, "She's lost in thought."

Elaine chuckled. "She looks adorable. So, you like this type, huh?"

"It doesn't matter what she's like. I'd like her, anyway."

Elaine laughed hysterically.

Isabella ignored any voice that she was hearing because she had discovered the truth. Damn! They really are half-sisters of different fathers!

As Alexander conversed with Elaine, his eyes trembled slightly, and he turned to Elaine in disbelief.

Elaine laughed carefreely, then abruptly questioned, "By the way, that woman, Zendaya, is she really a fan of Isabella?" Alexander nodded.

"How old is she?" Elaine asked, seemingly casually, without looking at Alexander.

Alexander glanced at Elaine, his brow slightly furrowed. "I heard she just turned twenty."

Elaine's eyelashes quivered.

By that time, Isabella had already regained her composure and wanted to share the gossip with Alexander.

When she noticed Elaine was standing pretty close to them, she was taken aback and felt guilty.

If it had been any other type of long-lost sister, Isabella would have probably thought of all sorts of

roundabout ways to help the two reunite.

However, Isabella wasn't sure if she should for Elaine's situation.

After all, Elaine's mother had an affair, abandoned her, and had a child with her paramour.

Zendaya was innocent, but Elaine was even more so.

Given the circumstances of their status, even though Elaine was known to be virtuous, Isabella couldn't be sure what kind of attitude Elaine might have toward Zendaya.

Elaine seemed to have regained her composure, smiling as she asked, "What are you thinking about?" Isabella started to stutter, "I wonder if there will be more commotion when Clifford comes back later."

It appeared as though Elaine had completely disregarded Clifford

After chatting for a bit, Elaine pulled Deborah into the pool for a swim. However, Elaine's swimming seemed somewhat agitated, and she quickly left the pool

"I want a drink. Where's that young girl? Why hasn't she arrived yet?" Elame suddenly broke the silence. "Could it be a severe allergic reaction? I'll go check on her.
