Mr. Mann said with a long face, "The cause of your parents' death, your cousin Marcus also knew about it. They died because of a plane crash."
Behind her, Marcus nodded and said, "Ruth, your parents’ death was indeed due to a plane crash.”
"Then... Why did you want to swap our identities?" Ruth questioned.
When she said that, she was already in tears.
Actually, with her current state of mind, she did not even care about the Shaw family's glory and wealth, but she was just too disappointed about what her uncle and aunt had done.
Seeing Ruth cry, her uncle had a guilty expression on his face.
He touched Ruth's shoulder and recounted the story from the beginning.
Ruth's biological father, Ronan Mann, and Mindy's biological father, Anson Mann, were a pair of twin brothers, but the brothers had led different paths since young.
Ronan had great academic achievements from a young age. When he was obtaining his postgraduate doctoral degree, he met his wife, Marcus’ aunt, who has the same academic background.
The two like-minded people worked in a research institute abroad and only came back to South City for the wedding after their affection for each other developed over time.
When Ronan brought his girlfriend back to his hometown in South City and was planning to get married, only then did he realize his younger brother, Anson, was also in a relationship.
