Chapter 447

Vespera couldn't quite process what she was hearing. She had pieced everything together, and her theories had been proven right. Like finishing a jigsaw puzzle, everything had clicked into place. And now, they were saying she was wrong?

She asked, "What do you mean?"

Calvert immediately clammed up, having already been scolded by Dominic. He didn't dare to say another word.

Vespera turned to Dominic with frustration. Why didn't he tell her? Did he think she wasn't smart enough, so it was pointless to tell her?

Dominic seemed to have read Vespera's mind. He smiled helplessly. He just didn't want her to get more involved. Things had already gotten dangerous enough. With her personality, if she realized there was more to the story, she would keep digging.

"I was going to explain everything after we left the island. Right now, getting off this island is the priority. Just because we bent the rules once doesn't mean we can keep doing it. If we hang around and keep pushing, we'll only be putting ourselves in more danger. It's meaningless," stated Dominic.

Vespera nodded and said, "I agree with this, but I still want the truth."

Dominic pushed aside the curtain in the carriage and glanced back toward the distant castle. He said, "During dinner last night, Calvert told me that Belinda was wearing a rubber mask. So, I deliberately spilled water on her and used it as an excuse to touch her hand. It wasn't a mask. Based on the state of the skin, it's a young person."

When Vespera heard that, a chill prickled down her spine. Young? That wasn't something one could fake. No matter how good one's skincare routine was, age left traces, especially on the hands. The state of the hand was sometimes more prominent than the face.

Calvert suddenly chimed in, "Vespera, you don't need to have doubts. There's only a quarter-inch height difference, and the scent was off. I wouldn't mix that up."

Vespera asked, "You can tell a quarter-inch difference in height?"
