By now, he had disappeared from sight, but the image of his retreating figure lingered in her mind.

She compared it to the person in the photo-almost an exact match.

But relying on mere similarities in body shape seemed unreliable.

After all, many people share similar features, and even their postures can resemble one another.

Isabel touched her chin thoughtfully, pondering. After a pause, she made a decision. She would find a way to visit the Nelsons' place and look deeper into this.

She suddenly remembered asking Beowulf to investigate the Nelsons before. She wondered if he had discovered where their villa was located.

Just then, the sound of a phone ringing broke her concentration.

For a second, Isabel thought it was her own phone, since the ringtone was familiar. But then she saw Xander pull his phone out and answer the call.

She blinked, surprised. When has he swapped my ringtone onto his phone?

On top of that, she noticed that his phone case matched hers exactly. She clearly remembered him never/ using phone cases before.

This guy...

Isabel shook her head slightly, a quiet sigh escaping her.

"Hello, Mom?" Xander's voice was casual as he answered, standing right beside her.

"I heard someone break into the Nelsons' villa last night. Is that true?" Ivana wasted no time with pleasantries and called Xander as soon as she heard the news. "Yeah," Xander answered briefly.

"Who did it? Someone after the Nelsons? Could it have been Isabel?" Ivana's suspicions flared, her voice low with concern. She was convinced that Isabel's recent visit to the Bennetts was part of some investigation into the Nelsons, and her instincts told her that Isabel had no good intentions,

She worried even more for her son, wondering if Isabel might harm him.
