Chapter 232
“Respect your decision Conrad, I’m your mother! You didn’t discuss something as important as marriage with me or the family, and you went and got a marriage license with this woman. Have you ever shown me any respect??
Lydia’s anger burned hot, and the almost wanted to throw the meal across the ble flu years of ingrained manners and etiqielle held her back. With a look of pure disgust, she glared at the woman beside Conrad and hit out. “You marry a woman like this, and if word gets out, how will that reflect on our family’s reputation?”
Moira had long known Lydia would never accept her, but hearing the insult directed at her–especially in front
Jane—still stung, she was

about to speak when Conrad’s cold voice cut in. “Moira graduated from Ziego University. She’s beautiful, educated, and accomplished. The only thing she might lack is family background, but not a single thing about her is inferior to you
Moira froze, completely taken aback. She had never imagined that Conrad held her in such high regard, and hearing him call her beautiful only added to the unexpected warmth in her chest.
Moira gently touched her face, feeling a sense of quiet joy. She thought, “He thinks I’m beautiful and more than that, he values me.
Lydia’s face turned a dark shade of red, her body trembling with rage. “Conrad, I’m your mother, and you dare compare me to this woman”
It was well–known that Lydia was the second daughter of the Westwood family. While the Westwood family might not hold the same power as
as the Morton family, they were still wealthy and well–respected in Eldoria. Lydia was regarded as part of high society, a young woman of reputable standing.
However, few knew the truth about Lydia’s background–she was not the legitimane daughter of the Westwood family: Instead, she was the result of an affair between Mr. Westwood and a woman who worked as an escort. Mr. Westwood had many affairs, fathering several illegitimate children.
But Lydia had been fortunate–she had caught the eye of Walton, the heir to the Morton family. The Westwood family had allowed her to claim status as Mrs. Westwood’s daughter with the support of Walton’s influence.
Lydia had been Mrs. Morton for twenty–eight years and had long forgotten the shameful past. But hearing it brought up by Conrad now, her eyes reddened with anger, and her breath grew shallow.
Jane, hearing their conversation, was stunned. “Why do you call him Conrad Istit his name supposed to be Virgil?”
Confused, she turned to Page. furrowing her brow. “Tan’t be your son? Why is this woman saying Virgil is her son?”
Page opened her mouth, ready to explain, but Lydia sharply cut her off “Page, you have no say in Conrad’s marriage!”
Page’s face paled, and the words she was about to say were swallowed down
Putting the pieces together from their conversation, Jane now understood that Virgil wasn’t Page’s son at all. Furious, she demanded. “Page, explain
what’s going ont
this to me-
Then, as something clicked, she turned to the man beside Moira. “You’re not Virgil, are you? You’re Conrad. So, is she your biological mother?”
Conrad’s dark, cold eyes first glanced at Moira Moira’s cheeks were slightly flushed but she wasn’t angry. He said, “Virgil is also my name. I’m
serious about Moira”
Jane’s face darkened when she heard the word “also“, “How could a person have two names? Are you Virgil or Conrad? Make yourselEclear”
Page quickly explained, “Jane, I’m Virgil’s adoptive mother. I gave him the name Virgil–
Lydia interrupted, “Page, since Conrad has reunited with us, he has nothing to do with you. The Morton family compensated you generously back then. Being a teacher for so many years, you should know the principle of fulfilling obligations. You’re not his adoptive mother anymore”
Page stopped talking and didn’t say anything more.
Jane was fuming with anger. She pointed at Conrad and said, “So, his name isn’t Virgil, and he’s not your son. Pige, what are you planning? How could you let him go on a blind date with Moira and marry her? This marriage is a sham. You’ve gone overboard.”
Page felt guilty and wanted to apologize.
Lydia snorted indignantly. “What sham? It was clearly Moira who seduced Conrad. Stop acting like-
Conrad interrupted her with a gloomy expression, “Enough, get
Hearing Lydia insult Moira repeatedly, Jane retorted, “Madam, be reasonable. Did you see my daughter seducing your son! We thought his name çil. Page never said he was her adopted son. Ethought he was her biological son, so I let my daughter go on a blind date with him.

Page nodded immediately. “Mr. Morton, I know you look down on Moira’s family background, but she is a good girl. Virgil Imein, Conrad really likes Modra. Can you please stop interfering in their lives and let Conrad find some happiness?
Because Conrad disobeyed her again and again, Lydia’s expression was already distorted with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’m telling you this today, the Morton family will never accept Moira
With that, she looked coldly at Conrad “Conrad, go ahead and make her your mistress. Let’s see who would acknowledge her as the Morton family’s daughter–in–law when we don’t accept her.
“Lacas, let’s go Lydia turned and left furiously.
