Chapter 1719: I know where Nathalie is.

What Finn said wasn't exactly false-but in this lifetime, that didn't happen. The fake Naylani had died early in this timeline, so she couldn't act on what she had done in the past.

But since Dean didn't know that, Finn bit his tongue and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Now, he had to clean up the mess.

"Finn, you're not the only one staying up at this hour." Before he could offer a reason for his slip-up, Atlas had already spoken. "Stop saying nonsense."

Finn looked up at Atlas, who was clearly doing damage control for him.

"Did you even listen?" Hugo frowned. "This reminds me of someone I know who doesn't listen but pretends he did by talking about it-and ends up getting it all wrong. That person is me."

"Heh..." Finn forced out an awkward laugh before glancing at Dean. "In any case, Jonathan must've learned about his mother and thought he had a right to the Pierson Family."

Hearing this, Dean clenched his teeth. "Like any bastard I know. Tch."

"So, that concludes the four faces of the woman," Atlas chimed in, not dwelling on Finn's mistake as he nodded. "One is Nathalie, Naylani, Noel, and then this fake Naylani who died prematurely."

Everyone nodded in agreement; that part was clear now.

"Now, assuming all three died and only Nathalie survived... what does she want?" he continued because that was something they hadn't uncovered yet.

They already understood the origins of Naylani, the Zorken Family, and the secret society lurking in the shadows of the world. But that still didn't explain their current dilemma.

Family-Cassandra Smith-is being sacrificed as a scapegoat, orchestrated by Jonathan... what does that have to do with us?" Atlas added, purposely avoiding the topic of what happened to Penny in their previous life. "Let's not forget
