Chapter 373

Marion finished examining Debra’s injuries and stood up. “The Odom family?”

Erica nodded, her voice laced with anger. “Edgar Odom. I had Randy investigate. He found out that Edgar came to Seamar City looking for Shelia. He claims Shelia is the lost daughter of the Blair family and his fiancée.” Erica’s voice grew agitated. “He backed Shelia and had his men hit Debra.”

“Erica,” Debra shook her head, trying to stop Erica from saying more.

Marion decided, “It’s not safe these days. Go and stay at my place.” From his expression, Debra could tell the situation was more complex than it seemed. She asked, “Is the Odom family that powerful?”

“Not exactly powerful, just a bit tricky,” Marion replied, stroking her cheek. “I’ll be back soon.”

Outside the door, Juan watched the scene silently for a moment before quietly walking away.

The news of Edgar finding the lost daughter of the Blair family spread like wildfire online. Everyone was shocked that Shelia was the lost daughter.

Debra scrolled through the news on her phone, her mind a whirlwind of confusion. In her previous life, Edgar had found his fiancée, Jade, about six months later. But now, it had happened six months earlier, and the original Jade had somehow become Shelia. Since Jade was alive, Edgar’s claim in the previous life that he would never marry was no longer valid. Although his lovestruck persona was secured, he had become a stepfather, which was somewhat amusing.

Erica broke the silence. “Didn’t you have someone watching Shelia’s mother? She should know whether Shelia is her child.”

“I just contacted Ben. I had him send someone to ask. We should get results soon.” Debra paused. “But I remember Shelia and her mother were originally from Booton.”

Erica’s eyes widened. “Could it be that Clarissa took away the daughter of the Blair family?”

Debra shook her head. “No, the child should have been taken by Kate. She wouldn’t just give her child to someone else.”

Debra felt a growing sense of unease. The current situation was vastly different from her past life, with many timelines disrupted. But one thing was certain: the Odom family wouldn’t make such a mistake. There must be some connection between Jade from her past life and Shelia in this one, though she had missed it.

Just then, Debra’s phone rang. She answered, and Ben’s voice came through the line.

“Madam, we’ve cleared it up.”

“Go ahead.”

“Clarissa insists that Shelia is her child, not the Blair family’s heiress. Shelia was born in Booton.”
