Vivienne furrowed her brows, keeping silent.

Indeed, from the moment she saw Percival's supposed "corpse," she knew it wasn't him.

How could she not recognize the lifelike android she had crafted with her own hands?

And the plane explosion raised too many questions. Among all those people on board, only Percival's body was found?

At the time, she truly didn't know what Percival was up to. She had no choice but to play along.

Since then, Percival had vanished without a trace, not a word exchanged between them.

But she speculated that Percival's disappearance had something to do with the man Abigail left behind.

So, she began a nationwide search for Percival, like a woman possessed, all to convince the man behind Abigail that she truly believed Percival was dead.

On one hand, she searched for Percival; on the other, she had Finnian investigate in secret. Aside from Finnian, she hadn't breathed a word of this to anyone.

Logan's eyes widened, realizing he was out of his depth in the world of the powerful.

If he were in her shoes, he'd have long accepted Percival's death and moved on, not scheming so intricately.

No wonder Ms. Vivienne had come to Luck Village.

She must've known about Luck Village's dark secret, hadn't she?

With that thought, Logan asked, "What about the poisoner then? You may look like Sebastian, but poisoners are soaked in toxins from birth. Won't they realize you're impersonating Sebastian?"

Percival glanced at Vivienne, a smile playing on his lips, "That's where my wife, the Specter Healer, comes into play."

Logan looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"
