Chapter 1037: Truth or Deception

Tina reassured her to stay calm. She had already investigated Claudia's background thoroughly. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for her to take the bait, and they could eliminate her completely.

Only then did Alina breathe a sigh of relief. "By the way, why did you call me back in such a hurry? What happened with Thaliana?"

Tina's gaze darkened slightly. "Aunt Thaliana was shot."

Alina's eyes sharpened. "Who did it?"

Tina's tone was calm. "At the moment, the evidence points to Claudia... but I don't think it's that simple."

Alina quickly caught on. "You're doubting Thaliana's identity?"

Tina nodded in confirmation. "Exactly. Her timing was too perfect. I can't help but be suspicious."

Alina's expression turned thoughtful. "Thaliana's death back then was so conclusive-no body, no evidence. The matter was untraceable. If even Courtney hasn't doubted her, then it might really be Thaliana who has returned."

Speaking of her former deputy, Alina's eyes reflected nothing but trust.

Even though they hadn't met yet, she didn't want anyone tarnishing Thaliana's face by committing atrocities in her name.

Alina asked again, "What about Courtney? What does she have to say about this?" Courtney was Thaliana's only child. If even she trusted this person, the likelihood of it actually being Thaliana would significantly increase.

Tina hesitated slightly before replying, "Courtney believes it completely. That bullet was originally meant for her."

Alina understood everything now. No wonder her daughter had been so eager to call her back-it was something even she found difficult to handle.

"When do you have time? Let's go to the hospital together."

Tina glanced at the files on the table before settling on a time. "Tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up. After yesterday's surgery, I doubt she's fully regained consciousness."

Alina nodded; it was just as well. She could use the time to recover from jet lag. After an entire day on the plane, her head was pounding.

Tina took the files and headed to the lab with Jared. They handed the materials over to Wraith, instructing him to get to the bottom of them within two days.
