“No!” Cindy shook her head vehemently to deny the fact. “My Shandie isn't dead. She's just asleep. Why did you put her in a coffin? Take her out!”
The guests shook their heads at her antics. She's gone nuts.
One guest remained puzzled and asked softly, “That's her adopted daughter. Why is she this upset? No matter how much she adores her adopted daughter, there's no reason for her to lose her mind. She can just adopt another daughter, no?”
Another guest instantly quipped, “Did you not attend the Actonwards' birthday party last night? Shandie was there, and she revealed that she's Henrick and Cindy's biological daughter.”
That revelation immediately attracted the other guests' attention.
“Seriously? She's their biological daughter? The timing's strange. Does that mean they got together before Maureen Moore died?”
“You're right! I thought that sounded ridiculous last night. But now, Cindy is acting like she has lost her biological daughter for real!”
“Even if they didn't get together before Maureen died, it was wrong for Cindy to marry her brother-in-law!”
“Shh, lower down your voice. They might hear you.
Nevertheless, Henrick had heard every word clearly.
His eye twitched.
Shandie didn't forget to create trouble for me before she died. I can't believe she revealed the secret to everyone. Why did I give birth to a fool?
He had never been so humiliated in his life.
In fact, he started regretting cheating on his wife with Cindy. If that did not happen, people wouldn't be gossiping about him when he already had one foot in the grave.
Henrick's face turned several shades darker.
