In an instant, the tense confrontation transformed into a reunion of old friends.
Juliet was beaming, holding Yolanda's hand. "Letitia, I never thought I'd see you again! I got sick once, and by the time I went back to the orphanage, they said you had been adopted."
"I asked the director who your new parents were, but she didn't know. I waited in her office every day, hoping you would call me. Why didn't you ever get in touch?"
Yolanda was smiling too, but as Juliet recounted her past at the orphanage in front of Marcus and Ward, she struggled to keep the smile from cracking.
Ever since becoming the esteemed daughter of the Lockwood family, she had wanted nothing more than to erase her past as an orphan and shed the name "Letitia" for good.
After all these years, she had nearly succeeded, but now Juliet had reappeared, dredging up her humiliating past right in front of her fiancé.
Was Juliet doing this on purpose?!
"Juliet, I'm so happy to see you again too. But it's not that I didn't want to contact you back then. I was just too young, and my memory was bad. I forgot the orphanage's phone number…"
After a round of explanations, the misunderstanding was cleared, and they appeared even closer.
But Anastasia watched with cold eyes, not missing the flicker of revulsion and resistance in Yolanda's micro-expressions.
And she didn't believe Yolanda's explanation for the car crash for a second.
However, looking at the innocent Juliet, she kept her thoughts to herself for now.
Yolanda had tried to get rid of Juliet the moment she saw her again. There had to be a reason. Since she failed this time, she wouldn't just give up. There would be another attempt. All Anastasia had to do was wait patiently; she had no doubt she would catch her in the act.
