Chapter 989

Mignon was quite surprised by her call, but she figured that as a fellow doctor, it was natural for a younger practitioner to be curious about a legendary predecessor.

She had a very good impression of Anastasia and didn’t hold anything back.

“I met Wilma later in her life, so I don’t know all the specifics, but I do know she came from the distinguished and powerful Jones family p>

The Jones family?

Anastasia looked up the family. Years ago, they had been one of Riverton’s most prominent families, but they had moved their operations to Mirrorglass Lake and gradually adopted a low-profile, making it difficult to find detailed information.

If her mother and Wilma were the same person, did that mean the Jones family was her mother’s biological family? But her grandparents had never mentioned her mother finding her birth family.

However, the Jones family, a behemoth that remained formidable even after deliberately stepping back from the limelight, fit perfectly with some of her long-held suspicions. The truth behind her mother’s murder-it was clear that Nora Sinclair wasn’t the mastermind, but merely a participant. So who was behind it?

She suddenly recalled the three hundred million dollars Nora had secretly hidden away right after her rebirth, money she had managed to trick Nora out of.

Where did that money come from? Why was Nora so afraid to use it openly? Was it connected to the real killer?

And then there was the fact that the Brennan family had adopted Lauren Brennan and refused to acknowledge her for all those years. A major reason was that her grandfather wanted to protect her from someone who was secretly trying to harm her.

Who were those people? Why did they want to hurt her? What kind of power was so immense that even the Brennan family couldn’t stand against it?

If these two forces or perhaps the very same force-both originated from the Jones family, then everything would make sense!

But for now, this was all just speculation. She had to first confirm that Wilma was, in fact, another identity her mother used.

And confirming whether the two names belonged to the same person wouldn’t be that difficult.

She called Mignon again and asked if she had time to meet.

Wilma was a mystery, and most people didn’t know much about her, but as her best

friend, Mignon would definitely know what she looked like!

Mignon was a little surprised by the invitation but agreed.

Sensing her urgency, Mignon thoughtfully suggested they meet in an hour.

Anastasia arrived on time. Mignon hadn’t gotten there yet.

She sat down to wait patiently. A couple of minutes later, she heard Mignon’s voice,

but she seemed to be in conversation with someone else.

She instinctively turned her head and saw that Mignon wasn’t entering from outside but was coming down from the upper floor.

And with her were several familiar faces!

Lester, Naomi, and Naomi’s mother.

Mrs. Lawson was the one speaking to Mignon. Mignon glanced at her watch and though she wore a polite smile, it was clear her patience was wearing thin.

Before Anastasia could say anything, Mignon spotted her. Her smile immediately became more

genuine, and she turned to Mrs net

Lawson. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Lawson, but quest. Perhaps we can chat

I have

another time.

Then she told her son, “Lester, please see Mrs. Lawson and Ms. Lawson to their car p>

With that, she walked directly over to Anastasia.

“Anastasia, have you been waiting long? I got held up p>

Anastasia shook her head. “I just arrived. But am I interrupting something p>

“Not at all, don’t give it a second

thought. didn’t have any official business today, just a lunch meeting so

ho actually saved mesome”

time p>

As they were talking, Mrs. Lawson and Naomi, who hadn’t left yet, saw Anastasia,

and their expressions soured.
