Chapter 371 His Past\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo find this Susan. If she listens and can be controlled, we\u2019ll use her to deal with Justin. If not, then we\u2019ll create another Susan,\u201d Danielle said deeply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah squinted. She understood exactly what Danielle meant. They\u2019d done things like that many times before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen go\u00a0<\/p>\n
look for her. Why are you dragging your feet? Riverwyn isn\u2019t that big. How hard can it be to find a woman who came from an orphanage?\u201d Savannah felt Danielle was being useless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t get it. Ten years ago, Riverwyn Orphanage had a huge fire. Every record was burned. I\u2019ve checked\u2013Susan was adopted long ago. Trying to find her now is like looking for a needle in the ocean. If she were that easy to find, do you think Justin would have been searching for years with no result?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle thought Savannah was clueless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t tell me it\u2019s Adriana again\u2026\u201d Savannah was already traumatized. Somehow, every good thing always circled back to Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana grew up in a rural orphanage near Haldoria. That\u2019s nowhere near Riverwyn. Their ages don\u2019t line up either. Calm down,\u201d Danielle said impatiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSusan is definitely not Adriana.\u201d Danielle was certain. The girl Justin was looking for wasn\u2019t Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana had grown up in Haldoria Orphanage. She and Justin had never crossed paths back then.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. I\u2019ll find a way to track her down. You focus on keeping Justin tied up for now,\u201d Savannah said, telling Danielle to stall him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They struck a deal to stop Adriana and Justin from getting married.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Barton Estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Justin purposely ignored Curtis\u2018 calls and wouldn\u2019t let Adriana answer either, clearly enjoying Curtis\u2018 frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he felt it was time, he finally picked up with a smile. \u201cWhy so nervous? Adriana and I are having wine and chatting about life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis gave a cold laugh on the other end. \u201cDo you two even have anything in common to\u00a0<\/p>\n
talk about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin smiled wider. Making Curtis jealous was something he never thought he\u2019d enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s news about the person you\u2019ve been searching for. Curtis went straight to the point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin\u2019s smile vanished. He straightened up. \u201cYou found her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. Not long after you were adopted by the Bartons, she was adopted by an ordinary couple. But now she goes by Maggie Gill. She\u2019s the eldest daughter of the Gills\u2013elder sister to Marcus and Maya.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A flash of cold anger crossed Justin\u2019s eyes. \u201cWasn\u2019t she adopted by an ordinary couple? How did she become the Gills\u2018 eldest daughter?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Gills had an extremely mysterious eldest daughter who had never appeared publicly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwenty years ago, Susan\u2019s adoptive parents died in a car crash less than six months after adopting Susan. Then, more than ten years ago, the orphanage fire wiped out all her records.\u201d Even Curtis had to admit it felt far too coincidental.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The truth had been buried so deeply that it took them a long time to confirm that the Susan from back then was the same person as today\u2019s Maggie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Gills had stayed out of sight for years. As the eldest daughter, Maggie had never appeared in public. No one would believe the family had no goals or plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis hadn\u2019t suspected the Gills before because he believed Elbert was smart enough not to draw attention to himself. But now, clue after clue pointed to them. He couldn\u2019t ignore it\u00a0<\/p>\n
anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Gills are finally ready to reveal themselves.\u201d Justin sneered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone believed he was searching for Susan out of childhood gratitude. But that wasn\u2019t the truth. When Justin was sent to the orphanage, he had a younger brother with him. After their parents\u2018 accident, the two boys were sent there together. His brother was his only family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, the orphanage director secretly leaked news that Jeremy planned to adopt a child. The director told all the kids to behave well and compete to be chosen by the Bartons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only that way could their lives truly change.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the time, the Bartons were one of Haldoria\u2019s four great families. Justin and the others didn\u2019t know exactly how rich they were. But the director told them that whoever was adopted would always have meat to eat and would never be abandoned again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
III\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
To make sure she\u2019d be chosen, Susan\u2013only eight years old\u2013snuck into the kitchen during lunch break and poured rat poison into a pot of boiling bone broth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, meat was only served during holidays or when donors gave money. Because Jeremy planned to adopt a child, he had donated a large sum to the orphanage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At dinner, Justin couldn\u2019t bear to eat the meat on his plate, so he gave it to his younger brother instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, every child who ate the meat was poisoned. Three died, and seven were rushed to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin\u2019s brother had eaten more than most. He died on the way there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
