Marcus held Comelia tight, “Yeah.”
Come snuggled upfortably in his arms, “I’m feeling a lot better now, I need to go take a shower
and then we can hit the hay. Tomorrow, I’ll go with you back
to the office.”
Marcus immediately picked her up, “Allow me.”
Comelia quickly pushed him away, “I’m on my period.”
Marcus said, “What weird stuff are you thinking about? Would I disregard your condition?”
Comelia blushed and buried her head in his chest.
She wasn’t overthinking, it was just that his behavior the night before was too undslial, even more
ferocious than a beast. It scared her, so that was why she reacted like that. However, Marcus showed
Cornelia through his actions that he was just genuinely helping her shower, with no other intentions.
After the shower,ying on the soft bed, Comelia quickly fell asleep. With Marcus by her side, she slept
really soundly this time, no more nightmares.
Marcus watched her peaceful sleeping face for a long time, then bent over to kiss her forehead. He
then stood up, took his phone, and went out to the living room balcony He dialed a number, “Speak”
Jayden’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “President Hartley, we found out. The real ir
died twenty years ago when she gave birth to Natalia.”
Marcus adjusted his sses, a sharp murderous intent shed in his eyes, “(need concrete evidence.”
Jayden said, “We probably can’t find her remains.”
Marcus asked, “What do you mean?”
A simple question, but it brought a strong pressure
Jayden quickly exined, “We found Hank, used some methods, and learned that the current ir is
actually the real ir’s twin sister.”
Marcus said, “ir had a twin sister? Why didn’t you guys find out before?”
Jayden exined, “No one considered this before, and only a few people know about it. One is the
current ir, one is Hank, and possibly Granger”
Marcus said, “Exin in detail.”
Jayden continued, “Hank is a punk, knows a lot of people, and isn’t afraid of death. We couldn’t get him
to spill the information we wanted. Finally, Ayden came up with a n to have someone impersonate
the current ir to contact Hank, and that got him talking.”
Marcus asked, “You guys used Al tech?”
Chapter 1040
Jayden nodded in agreement, “He’s stubborn as a mule, but he’s got a soft spot for the fake ir. The
moment he gets a video call from ir and sees her face, he doesn’t even question it. He just
immediately warns her that someone might be onto her true identity. Once we realized how much he
cared for ir, we knew we had a foothold. The rest was a piece of cake. A few tricks here and there,
and he spilled all the beans.”
Marcus scoffed, “Hank’s a sly fox. He might have already sniffed out the rat and was just ying along”
Jayden swallowed nervously, “It didn’t seem like he was onto us.”
Marcus said, “Whether or not he smelled a rat, keep going with your story”
Jayden continued, “Back in the day, the Dennis family had twin daughters. But due to hush–hush
reasons, only one was announced to the world. The other was kept nameless and hidden away in the
basement. The girl in the basement, that’s the ir we’re dealing with now.”
Upon hearing this, Marcus sneered internally. So, It wasn’t just his parents who were heartless
bastards. There were worse ones out there.
Jayden, oblivious to Marcus‘ reaction, went on, “At first, this ir didn’t mind her basement life until her
twin sister discovered her and told her about the wonderful world outside. The sister tried to free her,
but their parents put their foot down. Unable to free her, the sister would visit her daily, telling her about
the outside world and filling her with longing. One day, the sister stayed in the basement and let her
walk out for the first time using her identity. She saw the world outside, and it was a kaleidoscope of
experiences.
“As expected, their parents soon found out about the switch and locked her up again, forbidding the
sister to see her. She believed her sister loved her and would visit. After waiting for what felt like an
eternity, her sister finally returned. The sister told her their parents were dead, and she was free. No
one could lock her up
again.
“However, she didn’t celebrate. Instead, she harbored a wicked thought. She wanted to rece her
sister. Completely unaware of her intentions, the sister was eager to let her out, but she refused. Her
reason was simple. After 20 years in a basement the outside world was alien to her. She was scared
she wouldn’t fit in. So, she had her sister rent her a house and hire a tutor. She was smart as a whip
and quickly adapted to societal life.
“Later, her sister got married and had a child without telling her. When she found out she was livid. So,
she locked her sister in the basentent and impersonated her, trying to get a divorce. However, the man
named Hawthorne was head over heels for ir, and no matter what she did, he wouldn’t agree to a
divorce. It was only when she threatened to kill herself that he gave in. After the divorce, she let her
twin meet Hawthorne, but they ended up sleeping together, and hence Natalia was
born.”
Marcus asked, “The real ir was freed. Why didn’t she tell her husband the truth?”
Jayden replied. “The fake ir was cunning as a fox. She had a few months old Comelia in her
clutches. Any move by the real ir against her wishes could endanger Cornelia. And with Hank acting
as a watchdog, monitoring her every move, the real ir had no choice but to sacrifice herself to
protect her child.”
Marcus listened silently.
Jayden said, “President Hartley, it was Hank and the fake C
