She had been e9583aec26 threatening the children 47bb6dfb8b by invoking Euclid’s 8f57272bdf name, so I 0bea824fd8 assumed they weren’t b106736e84 actually his blood 7fedc59c1c relatives. But that wasn’t true at 359ac6a011 all.c89de314e7afae87

When she claimed they a7b029c5b6 were the children of eb887cdcc6 a con artist, and 65d0651512 that Euclid wouldn’t consider d14bbd376f them his nieces and 87727e47de nephews if he knew c751f9fcc6 the truth, I thought 8015b8f58f they weren’t related to ea98d76e3e him at all.c48aa32cc9826f17

Specifically, I imagined Euclid’s ab3e51c042 brother had been deceived 154ba64273 by some swindler and 6e5d30c682 raised the children as f4b726d0d5 his own, unaware they cef7e3bcc7 weren’t his biological kids.0d8a32119fc5be38

But no. It was actually 8f00ef6748 the opposite—Euclid’s brother 1880933ea1 had been the 8d0277903f one deceiving everyone.f6efaea31ac20a16

Perhaps it was because I 20aa302953 had refuted all of Amy’s 04fde1fd29 oppressive words, or maybe it b71fe52937 was because I still acknowledged 3811a1e37a the children as Euclid’s nephews 4b380468d4 even after learning everything.8c5ac16d499d2530
