Worship The Ground You Walk On

As soon as the news went viral, Claudia was invited to the Crawford's old mansion by her mother-in-law.

Although Claudia didn't know exactly why her mother-in-law wanted to see her, she had a slight suspicion that the reason was related to the party last night.

When Claudia arrived at Crawford's old mansion, Winifred was receiving guests upstairs, so the old housekeeper asked Claudia to wait for a while.

While Claudia was sitting on the sofa waiting for Winifred, the housekeeper accidentally knocked over a teacup and cut his hand. Kindly, Claudia hurried upstairs to find a medical kit.

If she had known in advance that she would hear the most unwanted conversation of her life, then Claudia would never have come upstairs to get the medical kit.

As she passed the door of the study, a conversation came from inside the room-

“Hanna, while Conrad is still young, you should spend more time with him. You and Ben are meant to be. I'll have Ben divorced that woman as soon as Conrad accepts you.”

Winifred's voice sounded excited, as if she was eagerly awaiting that day to come.

Hanna said, “Mrs. Crawford, that's not going to work. Claudia is Conrad's birth mum. I don't want to compete with her...”

“So what if I say she's the true mum supposed to be? Do you know how she got pregnant?”

“What?”

“That was because Ben was drunk. He thought she was you. Otherwise, how could Ben have married her? It's not like you don't know how Ben feels about you...”

Hanna's voice was slightly helpless, “I know that Ben loves me, and I love him too, but...”

“That's right. We'll get rid of Claudia as soon as Conrad gets closer to you. The Crawford family won't keep that mute! It's a disgrace!”

Outside the room, Claudia's hands on the stair rail were sweaty. She seemed to have overheard a conversation she shouldn't have.

It turned out that Ben had actually... mistaken her for Hanna when he had sex with her in the first place!
