The Woman From Hell

I called Petra several times that day, but I could not get through to her at all. Her number could not be reached, so I called Grayson, but the result was the same.

After dinner at night, I continued to call persistently in the room. There was a signal, but no one was answering.

"Where did you go? Why aren't you answering the phone?"

I threw the phone aside, slightly irritated. I lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. I sighed heavily.

Theo came out of the bathroom just in time to hear me sigh. "What's wrong?"

I got up from the bed and looked at Theo. "I met Cole again today, and he told me that I'm very likely to be Millicent Yard's daughter. Milicent was my adoptive mother's good friend. If what he said is true, then what about Petra?" I was at a loss right now and desperately wanted to know the answer.

"You didn't tell him about Petra at the beginning. Could it be that he made a mistake?"

"I don't know. That's why I want to ask my mother about it now and see if I can get some information from her."

I would not have asked Cole to look into this if I had known earlier. The matter would not be so complicated otherwise.

Obviously, I only wanted to know the secret surrounding the box, but now I was finding out that even my biological mother might be someone else. In that case, those who I had recognized as family before... "Your DNA matches with Petra's, unless..."
