Chapter 285

Meanwhile, inside the living room of the Jefferson residence, Beatrice burst into hearty laughter as she flipped through the document in front of her.

So that's what happened. Back then, Waverly and Sophia were at the same hospital when they gave birth to their respective daughters at the same time. Those two girls grew up to be the Bailey and Zoey we now know.

As Beatrice stared at how much Waverly and Bailey resembled each other in the photo, an audacious thought emerged in her mind.

In order to allow her daughter to live the lavish life of the rich, Sophia had bribed the doctor with a huge sum of money to switch babies with Waverly.

In the end, the true darling of Lostaria ended up an ostracized child unloved by the Jefferson family. As for the girl with pitiable origins, she became the beloved daughter of the Shurmer family.

What an insidious scam this is. Sophia, I'm truly impressed by your methods. However, how did you end up dying in a fire with your corpse burnt to a crisp? Can it be that you immolated yourself so that the secret would die with you? No.

Beatrice's hunch told her that there was more to the matter than met the eye.

If she's so materialistic, there's no way she would kill herself. I'm certain there's a terrible secret hidden behind it still. Nonetheless, there's no hurry. This discovery is a valuable one, for I now have dirt on Zoey in my hands. As long as I leverage it properly, that fake will obey me, and I'll force her to remove all obstacles for Ronni.

Meanwhile, inside the suite of a five-star hotel, the seated Raiden glared at the bodyguard in black who was standing in the center of the living room. He ordered grimly, “Tell me, what has Scarlett tasked you with this time?”

“Um...” The bodyguard hesitated.

As he was Scarlett's personal bodyguard, he would be severely punished by the Fletcher family for his betrayal if he were to snitch on Scarlett to Raiden.

Raising his brows, Raiden exuded an intimidating aura and asked, “What's wrong? Do you not dare to tell me?”

The bodyguard dropped to his knees with a loud thud. “I dare not betray Ms. Fletcher, so please go ahead and punish me, Mr. Fletcher.”

Narrowing his eyes at the bodyguard, Raiden maintained his calm and replied indifferently, “If my guess is correct, Scarlett has sent you to assassinate Veronique and her son. Am I right?”

the bodyguard gave Raiden a horrified look.
