This phrase was like a magic potion. However, it invaded Marcus' heart like poison, leaving him speechless.
Cornelia looked at him, "What's up? Did Zavier upset you again?"
Marcus replied, "I not only ran into Zavier, but also Granger and Cameron. Granger definitely knows about your mom."
Cornelia said, "I've thought about it. But it's been over twenty years. No one can prove that this Clair is not the real Clair, and we can't prove that my mom exists. Trying to find evidence to convict fake Clair and the others is even harder."
Marcus said, "Granger might use the news that your mom is still alive to confuse you. Be careful to discern the truth."
Cornelia grabbed her cell phone from the bedside table and flipped to a message she had just received, "Before you got back, I received a message from Zavier. He told me my mom is still alive."
Marcus glanced at it and said sarcastically, "He sure is quick."
Cornelia said, "I know he's trying to deceive me. I won't fall for it."
Marcus said, "But we can't rule out the possibility that your mom is still alive."
Cornelia said, "The chances of my mom being alive are almost zero."
Marcus asked, "Why are you so certain?"
Cornelia explained, "Because fake Clair is ruthless. She didn't know who I was before, and when I contradicted her in the mall, she held a grudge and planned to frame me at Granger's birthday party to force me to leave Riverton. A woman so heartless, how could she let my mom live after taking over her identity?"
