**Chapter 408: A Bold Proposal**
The two of them sat together, seemingly as if they had known each other for ages, like a pair of sweethearts who had weathered the storms of life together.

In the cozy atmosphere, they were completely at ease, their conversation flowing effortlessly, as if the world around them had faded away, leaving only their shared thoughts and laughter.
“Look at her,” Jeremy remarked casually, his eyes drifting toward Esmond’s direction. “She keeps stealing glances at him.”
Amelia, caught off guard, straightened her posture, her curiosity piqued. “You noticed that too? It’s almost as if she’s drawn to him in some peculiar way.”
“Do you think the man she’s involved with could actually be Esmond?” he queried, the wheels of his mind turning with the possibilities.
“Oh? I was under the impression her lover was your biological father,” Jeremy said, his eyebrows arching in surprise.
“No, no,” Amelia replied, shaking her finger playfully as she leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. “He told me that Gianna isn’t his daughter.”
“I used to believe she was. Back in the day, we discreetly looked into the paternity results. They matched,” Jeremy recalled, his tone shifting to one of intrigue. It wasn’t merely the DNA test that had created the illusion; Regina had meticulously crafted the narrative that Gianna was Raymond’s child. Perhaps she had done so with the intent of gradually seizing the Nygards’ wealth.
Her confidence suggested she had devised a flawless method to forge the results.
Yet, fate had taken an unexpected turn when Raymond uncovered the truth. Instead of exposing her deceit, he chose to play along, a silent game of chess unfolding between them.
As the layers of this tangled web unraveled, Jeremy found himself increasingly captivated by the unfolding drama.
The only one blissfully unaware of the swirling secrets was Emery—the epitome of innocence, blissfully ignorant of the storm brewing around her.
A warm glow of happiness blossomed in Jeremy’s chest as he realized that Amelia was sharing such intimate revelations with him.
It felt as though an invisible thread had drawn them closer, binding their fates in a shared understanding.
“So, based on what you’re suggesting, it could indeed tie back to Esmond,” he mused, his mind racing with the implications.
“I examined them closely,” Amelia said thoughtfully. “Gianna and Brielle do share a slight resemblance.”
If Regina’s true partner was indeed Esmond, then Brielle and Gianna would be half-sisters, a thought that sent a shiver down Jeremy’s spine.
But an unsettling detail nagged at him—neither girl bore any striking features of Esmond.
“Gianna doesn’t resemble Esmond, nor does she take after Regina. So, who does she resemble?”
That was the crux of Amelia’s confusion. It was a puzzle that left her feeling uncertain. Gianna and Brielle’s connection to Esmond was shrouded in mystery, and Amelia couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.
While Brielle might have inherited traits from her mother, Amelia had never met Brielle’s real mom, leaving her in the dark.
