CHAPTER 690: CHAPTER 690: WHY DID SHE LIE TO HER?

Giselle Keating bit her lip and remained silent.

She felt so resentful. Why could Eleanor Sterling turn her life around and become so dazzling?

"Daddy..."

Tristan Keating snorted, "Enough. You need to pull yourself together these days. I’ll find some promising young men for you to choose from soon. Don’t be fixated on just one man."

Giselle Keating stayed silent and had no choice but to agree to this request.

However, at this moment, her mind was filled with other thoughts. She needed to investigate thoroughly whose child she really was.

Could it be that someone swapped her into the Keating family?

The child who was swapped out was the true heiress of the Keating family. She would never allow her to reappear and snatch away her precious status as the true daughter.

Once she investigates clearly, she could strike first and silencing that person forever, ensuring that no one will ever find out.

But there was one person who knew—the one who approached her earlier, Rosalie Ray, Faye Sterling’s mother.

She had to go to Veridia City and personally ask Rosalie Ray about her birth.

Giselle Keating seemed to regain her spirits. She made an excuse about needing a break and then went to Veridia City alone.

Tristan Keating saw that she was not going to Aethelgard and didn’t intervene, thinking that once she returned, he would immediately arrange for her to start dating, hopefully putting an end to her fantasies.

The next day, Giselle Keating arrived in Veridia City.

She sent Rosalie Ray a message, inviting her to meet the following day.

Rosalie Ray had a fight with George Sterling, was bruised and battered, and feeling very upset when she unexpectedly received the message from Giselle Keating.

Giselle Keating was a daughter she hadn’t seen for many years, and now she was actively reaching out.

Immediately, Rosalie Ray set all other matters aside, filled with joy at the prospect of meeting her.

Around the corner on the stairs, Faye Sterling saw Rosalie Ray, secretly on her phone, transform from her previous somber mood to one of joyful countenance.

Her gaze darkened heavily, as if a thought struck her.

Faye Sterling knew Eleanor Sterling had sought Rosalie Ray out, likely about her heritage.

Thinking about the mystery of their lineage made Faye Sterling’s mood plummet. She always felt that Rosalie Ray was hiding something.

In the evening, Faye Sterling carried a bowl of lotus seed soup to Rosalie Ray’s room.

"Mom, did you fight with Dad again? Is it because of me?"

Rosalie Ray took the lotus seed soup, "It’s not about you, Faye, don’t overthink it."

Faye Sterling’s eyes shifted, asking tentatively, "Mom, since you’re upset from arguing with Dad and I want to shop tomorrow, will you come with me?"

Rosalie Ray’s expression changed slightly.

She replied calmly, "Faye, let your sisters go with you. I don’t really want to go."

"Are you really not going?"

Rosalie Ray nodded, "Hmm, Mom’s just in a bad mood and wants to stay home."

Faye Sterling smiled slightly, "Alright then, I’ll buy you something."

After leaving Rosalie Ray’s room, a hint of darkness flashed in Faye Sterling’s eyes.

Rosalie Ray lied to her.

But why would she lie to her?

Who made that phone call? Who is she going to meet the next day? To meet that person, she was willing to lie to her.

That night, Faye Sterling quickly hired a private investigator, instructing them to follow Rosalie Ray the next day and ensure they recorded her conversation with that person.

After receiving the deposit, they assured her the task would be completed.

Faye Sterling’s eyes filled with malice, as she sensed that Rosalie Ray was about to meet someone critically important to her.
