Chapter 213 Her Real Identity


    After getting the photo from Nathan, Joanne returned to her room. She closed the door and observed


    Rowane''s picture carefully again. Her lips stretched into a smile. Just as she was racking her brains on


    how to stop Nathan from returning to the country, a girl who looked like Irene appeared. Hence,


    she immediately thought of a n and decided use this unknown girl as leverage to keep Nathan


    around.


    Therefore, she pretended to pity Rowane''s situation and managed to get Nathan to bring Rowane


    home. Then, she would find an opportunity to carry out her n. However, before she could execute


    her agenda, she had to ensure to fulfill the promise she had made. She sent Rowane''s picture to her


    best friend, Linda, and asked to get her husband to investigate Rowane''s identity.


    Britney and Nathan were furious with Joanne because of the incident with Irene. They were not as


    loving towards her as they had been in the past. Instead, they treated her coldly.


    She was anxious because of that and had tried many ways to please Britney, but she had failed all the


    time. Both Britney and Nathan behaved rtively neutral with her.


    She clearly noticed how Britney had looked at her with approval when she mentioned that she would


    share Rowane''s photo with Linda''s husband to get his help in the investigation. Nathan was pleased to


    hear that too, so she had to take the opportunity to change their impression of her.


    One knew that both Britney and Nathan were kind-hearted people. They loved people who were caring


    and sentimental. If she showed her kindness and enthusiasm in front of them, they would definitely like


    her again.


    Moreover, she was rather curious about Rowane''s identity. Finding out about Rowane''s identity would


    be of great help to her n of using Rowane to stop Nathan from returning to Havend.


    Joanne dialed Linda''s number and told her everything about Rowane. Linda was a Mecodian-born


    Chinese and was Joanne''s schoolmate. They were close to each other, so naturally, she agreed to


    Joanne''s request and requested her to send Rowane''s photo over immediately.


    After hanging up on the call, Joanne opened her WhatsApp and opened her chat with Linda. She sent


    Rowane''s photo and scrolled through her social media for a while. Then, she put the phone down and


    got ready to take a bath.


    Just as she was about to enter the bathroom, her phone rang. Joanne nced at the screen and saw


    that it was Linda calling her. She couldn''t help but feel confused. Was Linda''s husband so efficient? He


    had managed to find her identity within half an hour?


    She picked up the call and asked, "Dear, is there really news so soon?"


    Linda said, "What news? Why haven''t you sent me the girl''s photo? I''ve already told William, and he''s


    waiting for you to send him the photo!"


    Joanne was shocked, "I''ve just sent you the photo. Didn''t you receive it?"


    "What app did you use to send it?"


    "I used Whatsapp. Aren''t you online?"


    "I''ve been online this whole time. I didn''t receive it at all. Did you send it to the wrong person?"


    "No way, let me check," Joanne hurriedly hung up on the call and opened her Whatsapp. At a nce,


    she realized she really had sent the photo to the wrong person. She had identally sent Rowane''s


    photo to Lily. Lily''s name was simr to Linda''s, and they had the same profile picture . So, she had


    sent the image to the wrong person without checking.


    She scolded herself for being careless. She hurriedly dug through her album for Rowane''s photo.


    When she was about to send it to Linda, Lily called her.


    It seemed that Lily was curious about Rowane''s photo and called to ask what her photo was about.


    Joanne answered the call and nned to exin to her about her ident. However, before she could


    even say anything, Lily asked her first, "Miss White, why did you send Rowane Wood''s photo to me?


    Do you know her too?"


    Joanne''s heart skipped a beat, "What did you say? You know that girl?"


    Lily said, "Yes, she''s a student from the University of San Fetillo. She''s been studying abroad in


    Mencodia for a few months. I didn''t expect you to know her."


    "Oh, yes, there was this one time that she got lost on the street, so she had asked me for directions.


    After chatting for a while, I came to know that we were from the same hometown. So that was how we


    knew each other. However, she had never mentioned you before, so I didn''t expect you to know her,"


    Joanne subconsciously didn''t want to tell Lily about Rowane''s amnesia, so she made up an excuse.


    Lily believed her, because why would Joanne lie to her? She chuckled, "What a small world. Who


    would have expected that you guys would know each other like that? By the way, why did you send me


    her photos?"


    "Um," Joanne did not know how to exin her mishap to Lily.


    However, Lily jumped the gun and said, "Oh, I know. You must''ve thought that she looked like Irene, so


    you sent it to me to check, right?"


    Joanne quickly regained herposure and said, "Yes, she looks so simr to Irene. That''s why I sent


    it to you. What do you think?"


    "That''s right. I was shocked from the first time I saw Rowane too. I didn''t expect that she would look so


    simr to Irene. Due to that fact, Edric took notice of her and kept her under his wing."


    Lily felt ufortable after mentioning that. Although nothing had happened between Rowane and


    Edric, the thought of her bearing a face alike to Irene''s that attracted Edric pissed her off. Plus, Rowena


    had managed to spend quite a long time by Edric''s side and Edric had taken care of her quite well. Lily


    was incredibly jealous of her.


    "What did you say? Edric knew her? Do Rowane and Irene know each other? Can you exin their


    rtionship in detail?"


    The news excited Joanne. She would never have thought her mistake would not only reveal Rowane''s


    identity, but also vital information to help her n seed. So, she decided to ask Lily about


    everything rted to Rowane.


    "Well…" Lily stuttered in hesitation. She had blurted out Rowane''s rtionship with Edric out of anger


    just now.


    Joanne was merely her scheming partner and nothing more. She was not even her best friend, so she


    did not intend to tell Joanne so many details. After all, some matters should not be shared with


    outsiders. For instance, she had used Rowane to widen the gap between Edric and Irene. Also,


    Rowane had helped her to drug Edric to create the illusion that Edric and her slept together.


    Although those were the things in the past, those were all dirty schemes. Even if Joanne kept the


    secret dearly, she did not intend to let Joanne know about them at all.


    Joanne could sense Lily''s worries instantly. She did not like Lily and was clear that Lily did not like


    being stepsisters with Irene at all. Otherwise, she would not have been at Irene''s neck and caused the


    divorce between Edric and Irene.


    Now, she desperately needed Lily''s cooperation to perfect her battle against Irene. She could


    only temporarily suppress the disgust in her heart and pretended to speak affectionately.


    "Miss Cook, have you forgotten about our deal? If we need to handle Irene well, we need to grab every


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    possible opportunity. Since Edric used to be close with Rowane, why don''t we seize this opportunity to


    ruin Edric''s rtionship with Irene?"


    Lily replied, "Oh, I know what you mean. However, Rowane is in Mencodia now, and Edric has never


    been in touch with her ever since. She seems to be useless, right?"


    "You can''t say that. Although Rowane is in Mencodia now, her heart may still remain in San Fetillo with


    Edric. You would be clear about that too. A love interest like Edric would be hard for Rowane to move


    on from. I''ll just add some fuel to the fire so her passion for Edric would be reignited. By then, we can


    use her to deal with Irene."


    "What if Rowane refuses to let go of Edric? Won''t that affect my rtionship with Edric? After all, Edric


    and Irene have bad blood now, so there isn''t a need for us to cause any more trouble, right?"


    Joanne was on the brink of swearing. How could Lily be so sly? She could not persuade her at all? Her


    tone became impolite as she started to feel impatient.


    "Miss Cook, why can''t you understand what I mean? I''m just saying that we can take advantage of


    Rowane''s feelings on Edric to ruin Irene and Edric''s rtionship. I didn''t say that she could obtain


    Edric''s heart, so why are you so worried? Plus, do you think that Edric will despise Irene for the rest of


    his life just because of Margaret''sa? Do you realize that Edric and Irene''s rtionship is deep


    enough for him to forgive Irene in no time? What if Margaret wakes up? By then, it would be easier for


    Edric to forgive Irene."


    Lily was startled by her words. She was indeed worried that Margaret would wake up, and then Edric


    would find out that the culprit had not been Irene but Marie and Deborah. Subsequently, he would not


    me Irene anymore and would feel frustrated because it would be hard for him to get back to Irene''s


    side.


    After digesting her point, she realized that Joanne''s idea might work. So, she told everything about


    Rowane to Joanne. Of course, she left out the details about how she had used Rowane. She did not


    talk about Rowane''s rtionship with Marie or about Marie had sent Rowane out of the country and


    hired an assassin to murder her. Otherwise, she wouldn''t even spill the beans to Joanne that she knew


    Rowane.


    Joanne was only interested in rifying Rowane''s identity, her rtionship with Edric in San Fetillo, and


    Irene''splications. She did not care about whether Lily had taken advantage of Rowane before. All


    she bothered about was using Rowane to destroy Nathan''s rtionship with Irene, not the rtionship


    between Irene and Edric.


    Lily finally concluded, "That''s all I know. Rowane is na?ve and she trusts people easily. As long as you


    give her slightly more attention, she would treat you as her best friend."


    Joanne was overjoyed, "Great, I understand now. Wait for good news from me. I''ll definitely do my best


    to pull Rowane in. I''ll make her the stumbling block between Irene and Edric."


    Lily smiled and said, "Miss White, then I''ll have to give you my thanks first!"


    "Miss Cook, you don''t have to be so polite with me. I''ve already said that we''re partners. Remember to


    let me know if there''s any news from San Fetillo in the future. Also, for insurance''s sake, don''t mention


    about me to Rowane in case she gets suspicious."


    "No, I don''t keep in contact with her. Even if I did, I wouldn''t be so stupid to tell her."


    Both of them chatted for a while and ended the call. Joanne realized that she had yet to reply to Linda''s


    message. Since she knew about Rowane''s identity already, there wasn''t a need for Linda''s help to


    proceed with the investigation. Hence, she called Linda and exined that someone had identified


    Rowane. There was no need for Linda''s assistance anymore. Linda believed her and did not ask for


    the photo anymore.


    For now, she had to not let Nathan know about Rowane''s real identity yet. Otherwise, her n would


    be ruined. Since Nathan had just begun the investigation, he wouldn''t get any results anytime soon.


    So, she still had time to execute her n.


    She took out Rowane''s photo again. She sneered as she red at that beautiful face, "Don''t me me


    for using you. It''s just unfortunate for you to look simr to a brat like Irene!"
