The Queen They Let Go (Alice and Eric) novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412 The Blood Secret

In the end, Huglan revealed the truth about the switched daughters.

The Lawrences realized it was valuable information and sold it to a group of outsiders.

That was why Alice never had peace, even as a small child.

If she hadn’t been lucky, she would have died long ago.

Alice’s blood was special.

“When Maria was pregnant,” Huglan said, “she used drugs to alter you. I heard that every nerve in your body was marked. You are worth a lot of money.

That was the real reason behind the kidnapping.

Alice thought back to her childhood.

When she was taken, many children who disobeyed were beaten to death on–the spot.

But those people never truly tried to kill her. They hit her, yes, but they always held back.

That restraint gave her the chance to escape.

So that was it.

All these years, she had believed the traffickers still had a shred of humanity.

Only now did she understand.

It was all because of her biological mother.

“Actually…”

Rosalie looked awkward.

“When I met you in Torenridge, I wasn’t very kind. It was because I sensed your body was… different. I was afraid you might affect my family.”

Alice smiled calmly. “I didn’t expect you to explain so much. Thank you.”

Rosalie sighed helplessly.

“I know you probably don’t believe me. It all sounds unbelievable.

“But think about your parents‘ research. And your mother never truly loved your father. Using a child for experiments it’s not impossible.”

“Mrs. Previn,” Alice interrupted gently. “Have some tea.”

Rosalie froze, then realized what she was doing.

Yes–some things couldn’t be proven with words alone.

And this was a field she barely understood.

She couldn’t even say what drugs Maria had taken or what changes they caused in Alice’s body.

Maybe those drugs were meant to help fetal development.

After all, Alice had grown up remarkably well.

For a moment, Rosalie didn’t know what else to say.

Alice pushed the teacup toward her and smiled warmly.

“Rosa, you used to be close with Ms. Randall, didn’t you?”

Rosalie paused.

She hadn’t expected the topic to change so suddenly.

Rosalie lifted the cup, pretending to sip, and hesitated before answering.

“Not really.”

She was speaking truthfully.

Back then, Ruby had only just started dating Oscar.

People in their social circle looked down on Ruby’s background.

In fact, Ruby had been the one trying to please them.

They didn’t accept it. Behind her back, they mocked her as someone who didn’t belong.

Ruby knew nothing about the switched daughters.

They hadn’t bothered to tell her.

“Ms. Spencer,” Rosalie said, “we were never close. “It was only later that she somehow uncovered your story. She threatened me, the Lawrences, and the Haydens. That’s how she slowly secured her place among the elite women.”

Alice narrowed her eyes.

Was Ruby’s rise really that simple?

Alice didn’t think so. The scene felt like only the surface.

Behind it all, someone must have been plotting things for Ruby.

But who?

Rosalie felt embarrassed. She hadn’t been much help.

She had arrived full of confidence, and now she felt drained.

Alice couldn’t even finish her tea. Standing up, she prepared to leave.

“Mrs. Previn,” Alice said suddenly, “are you leaving Mapleford, or will you continue living here?”

Rosalie stopped.

She had come with a hidden motive.
