Chapter 1409:
But inwardly, her thoughts churned.
It seemed Kylee didn’t know much about her mother’s past, either. Zaria was certain that Carola must have had some connection with her father in the past.
Zaria didn’t know the full story, but she understood one thing clearly: when a man and a woman had a past, their connection was always about matters of the heart.
She vividly remembered the time when she had casually mentioned Carola’s name in front of her father. His reaction had been alarmingly off. Not long after, a sharp headache had hit him.
Before she could make sense of it, her grandmother had arrived. Upon learning what had caused his distress, she had flown into a rage. With uncharacteristic sternness, she had forbidden Zaria from ever speaking Carola’s name again in her father’s presence.
This only fueled Zaria’s curiosity. What kind of past could her father possibly share with Carola that would cause him such visible agony just at the mention of her name?
She knew her family wouldn’t tell her the reason, so she decided to investigate on her own. She needed answers.
Unfortunately, it seemed Kylee, Carola’s daughter, was just as in the dark.
Kylee was no fool. The sudden turn in the conversation had tipped her off that Zaria’s questions weren’t mere small talk.
Suspicion gleamed in her eyes as she said, “Zaria, why are you asking all this all of a sudden? Just tell me the truth.”
Zaria hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to share a bit of information with Kylee. Perhaps if she shared a bit, Kylee might be able to uncover something useful for her.
With a calm tone, Zaria replied, “It’s probably nothing… But I just get the feeling my father might’ve known your mother in the past.”
Kylee blinked, clearly taken aback. “Your father? You mean… the head of the Wright family?”

Zaria nodded. “Yes. I’m not certain, but… The other day, I accidentally mentioned your mom’s name in front of him. The moment he heard that, it was as if something had exploded inside his mind. He had a headache on the spot.”
After a pause, she continued, “His reaction left me utterly confused, and even my grandma approached me, forbidding me to ever speak that name again. I couldn’t help but feel that your mother and my father had a past.”
Kylee didn’t respond immediately. Her expression was serious. Carola had a connection with the head of the Wright family in Soling? Could that really be possible?
Both the Wright family and Carola’s family held power and prestige in Soling, yet no one had ever publicly linked them. And yet, Zaria’s father’s reaction to Carola’s name clearly suggested they had a past… Moreover, Belinda was actually Carola’s daughter, and her real father wasn’t Baker.
A sudden, unsettling idea took root in Kylee’s mind.
Could it be…
Kylee froze, her face clouded with the weight of the thought.
