Chapter 1008: Unless Claudia’s Body is Found

The figure on the bed stirred slightly but didn't open her eyes. Tina noticed and deliberately dragged the chair with a sigh. "If you don't believe me, then I'll leave now." The next moment, Jennie's frail voice called out, "Tina, wait..."

She struggled to sit up, but her vision darkened, and she almost fainted. Tina quickly moved to steady her, placing a cushion behind her back and handing her a glass of water before sitting down again.

Jennie sipped the warm water, avoiding Tina's gaze, her voice heavy with guilt. "Tina, it's not what you think. I didn't mean I don't believe you."

"It's just... it's so unbelievable. Nancy... she poisoned you? And tried to kill Oliver? How could she do such a thing? Oliver is her child!"

Tina listened silently, letting Jennie vent. Only when Jennie's emotions calmed a bit did she speak slowly, "Jennie, you don't need to feel guilty or apologize to me. The person you saw wasn't the real Nancy."

Jennie froze, her face turning pale. "Tina, what do you mean? What do you mean she wasn't the real Nancy?"

Tina thought for a moment and used an example Jennie had experienced. "Do you remember when you and Hugo were impersonated on your way to my recognition banquet?"

Jennie's pupils contracted. "She... she was an imposter?"

Tina nodded.

Jennie's body trembled, and after a long moment, she exhaled the breath she had been holding. "Then... where is the real Nancy?"

Tina's expression darkened. "She's dead."
