Chapter 1000: Should I Call You Nancy or Claudia

The pulse felt exactly as she had anticipated.

The toxins in Oliver's body were stubborn-unlike any poison she had encountered before. If she relied solely on acupuncture to draw it out, she feared his organs would fail before the poison was fully purged.

With this thought in mind, Tina dialed Wraith's number. No one answered.

A moment later, a text came through: "Don't rush me, I'm busy."

Tina's brow furrowed slightly. If even Wraith was stumped by this toxin, could the poison in Oliver's body really be ordinary?

She quickly called Jayden instead. "How's the investigation going?"

Jayden reported honestly, "Young Master, Ethan Chase doesn't seem suspicious. He came back intending to extort some money from the Reed family to pay off gambling debts. But when he found out the child was gravely ill, he fled immediately, likely scared off by the prospect of massive medical bills.

"As for Nancy, everyone who knows her says she's always been the same-timid, spineless, and slightly manipulative, but not excessively so. At home, aside from being close to you, no one really sides with her."

Tina couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right.

If Nancy wasn't Claudia, the timing of her appearance was far too coincidental.

It was almost as if someone had calculated the perfect moment for her to reveal the Jade Armour-like they were lying in wait, ready to reap the benefits of her actions.

As Tina ended the call with Jayden, Jared walked in.

"Tina, what's wrong?"

Her gaze narrowed slightly. "I suspect Nancy is Claudia."

Jared glanced at the small figure on the hospital bed and frowned. "Hmm, I've had the same thought. But the way she's played her hand-I can't figure out what her endgame

is."
