    Chapter 2081


    One of Ste''s ssmates joked, "What? Did you have a baby? You were the first to get married in our


    ss. Your kid must be running around by now, right?"


    "Yeah. They stick to me like glue," Ste chuckled.


    "You''re not very thoughtful, you know. You got married without even telling us, sneaking off like that."


    "Oh,e on. We had just graduated back then, and none of US had much money. How could I have


    the heart to tell everyone? I couldn''t just let you guys spend on me," Ste replied.


    Everyoneughed upon hearing that. "After we''re done visiting Luanna, let''s all hang out. Bring your


    husband along, too. I want to see who managed to snag our ss''s beauty."


    Ste put her hands together and begged, "Please spare me, everyone. My husband isn''t anything


    special. He just runs a small business to make ends meet. He''s decent-looking, but he''s got a temper.


    If I bring him, and he says something unpleasant, all of you will think twice about inviting me out again.”


    "Stop pretending, Ste. We all know your standards."


    After a few more jokes, Ste said, "Let me go in and visit Luanna first, then we can chat."


    Aldor quietly followed behind with a fruit basket, thinking, ''And Mr. Kane was worried that Mrs. Kane


    wouldn''t be able to hold a conversation. Hah. He''s overthinking it. Mrs. Kane can charm anyone with


    just a few words.''


    The ss monitor and others were still in the ward. When Ste entered, two female ssmates were


    consoling the person lying in the bed.


    Ste did not say anything, quietly assessing the person.


    It did look like Luanna, but something seemed off.


    Ste''s gaze shifted from the person''s face to their wrist.


    Luanna had a faint birthmark on her wrist, shaped like a crescent moon. But the person lying in the bed


    had nothing.


    Ste pressed her lips together and said nothing.


    After everyone finished their visits and left, Ste approached and sat by the bedside. She took out an

    envelope from her bag and ced it next to the person''s pillow.


    "My condolences," she said in a low voice.


    The person stiffened, suddenly looking up at her.


    Ste pulled down her sleeve and said, "She has a birthmark on her wrist. Anyone who knows her well


    would recognize it at a nce. You can''t keep up the act for long."


    The fake Luanna was speechless.


    "Mr. Moore gave you the heads up, didn''t he, Lina?"


    The person in the hospital bed was not Luanna. It was her twin sister Lina, whom Ste had heard


    Luanna mention but had yet to meet.


    Lina was the one who sought Marshall''s help to investigate the people mentioned in the will. Ste


    deduced that it was likely his idea for Lina to pose as Luanna to gather evidence.


    However, Ste found it to be too risky. ''Anyone involved with contrabands is an ouw. What exactly is


    Marshall up to?'' she thought.


    Lina looked at her, eyes filled with wariness. "How did you know?" she asked.


    Ste''s voice was grave. "It doesn''t matter how I know. Lina, if you really want to avenge Luanna, you


    should go to the police. Marshall is just awyer; he has no enforcement power. If anything happens to


    you during this process, think about what would happen to Luanna and your parents."


    "I agree," Marshall''s voice came from the doorway as Ste finished speaking.
