They used to laugh together, joke around, and even argue, sometimes playfully, sometimes seriously.

Tany would blink her big eyes and tug at Richard’s arm playfully. When she was upset, she’d blush like an angry kitten, scratching or even biting him.

But now, all she did was call him “Mr. Hampton” with a blank expression and keep her distance.

‘Why have things come to this?‘ Richard thought.

June’s words from earlier echoed in his mind. She’d claimed Tiffany’s conflict with him stemmed from that woman, Jennie.

At the appraisal conference earlier, Richard had seen Jennie, the woman who supposedly resembled Tiffany. But to him, there was no comparison. Jennie was a mere imitation, a counterfeit that didn’t hold a candle to the original.

With that thought, Richard slowly drifted off to sleep.

As soon as his eyes closed, memories began flooding his mind, distant, fragmented, yet familiar. They felt like pieces of a life–long past, rushing over him like waves, pulling him under.

A sudden knock jolted Richard awake. “Mr. Hampton, I found something!” John Ross’s voice came from behind the door.

“Come in,” Richard called.

John burst in, holding a stack of documents and photos. “Mr. Hampton, there’s definitely something off about Jennie! Look

at this!”

John laid out an old photo. “This was taken when Jennie was a child. Most of her photos were destroyed, but this one was secretly saved by a servant years ago.”

In the photo, Jennie looked about ten years old, wearing a school uniform and beaming with confidence.

But something didn’t add up. She didn’t look anything like she did now.

Jennie looked so different that she must have had plastic surgery. Otherwise, it’d be impossible for her to grow up to look like she did now.
