“They say she’s the daughter of a mysterious tycoon from overseas, but I don’t really believe that,” Dylan responded quickly, hoping to stay on Wanda’s good side. “Sure, she carries herself like someone from a rich family, but she never tries to get close to Trinity, even though Trinity’s family is the most powerful at school. Instead, she spends all her time with that girl, Frieda, who’s just a nobody. That doesn’t sound like a real heiress to me.” Content originally comes from Find[?]ovel.net

After hearing that, Wanda nodded. The reasoning seemed solid. Nobody in their group ever bothered to mingle with people from less privileged backgrounds.

Wanda leaned forward, her voice curious. “So, you’re saying this whole story about her being a tycoon’s daughter is all made up?”

Trinity responded without hesitation, sounding absolutely certain, “That’s exactly it! She arrived in Ublento all by herself. I bet she worried people would judge her, so she made up some story about being someone important. Who’s really going to hop on a plane just to see if she’s telling the truth?”

Seeing a chance to add fuel to the fire, Dylan chimed in quickly, “That Lilah has no respect for you or the Campbell family. To come after Trinity like that is nothing short of a slap in your face, Miss Campbell.”

Wanda turned her gaze on him. “Go on. Explain what you mean.”

“Everyone around here knows Trinity is your sister, and they all recognize your influence. People treat her the way you would expect, giving her the respect she deserves. But Lilah? She went after Trinity without a second thought. That sounds like she’s challenging your authority outright,” Dylan continued, choosing his words carefully.

The words, though transparently manipulative, struck a nerve. The bitterness in Wanda’s heart began to smolder.

“So, some nobody pretending to be an heiress thinks she can challenge me?” Wanda said, her voice low and seething. “Does she take me for a fool?” She glared ahead, determination hardening her features. “If I don’t put that girl in her place now, she’ll never learn.”

Wanda looked over to her bodyguard. “Find out everything you can about this Lilah. I want to know where she breathes.”

“Understood, Miss Campbell.” With a crisp nod, the bodyguard slipped out of the room.

A wild light filled Trinity’s eyes as she begged, “Wanda, I want her gone!”

Ever since Wanda had “murdered” Elliana, Trinity had started viewing people as disposable. Whenever someone crossed her, she figured Wanda could help her eliminate that person to vent some steam.

Wanda said nothing, though a flicker of disgust crossed her expression. She had the strength to wound or even take a life, but she refused to let Trinity’s childish provocations push her that far. Giving in would only turn her into a weapon Trinity could wield whenever she pleased.

Lilah, a name Elliana used openly without hiding her whereabouts or information, made it easy for Wanda’s men to investigate thoroughly.

Soon enough, the bodyguard returned, handing a folder to Wanda.

Inside the file were surveillance photos. One of them showed Elliana walking through Ublento Medical University, her face covered with a mask.

Wanda stared at the images in disbelief, her eyes widening before she jumped to her feet. “This girl is Lilah?”

Wanda recognized the face immediately. That was the same girl she’d seen in Cole’s car. She was the owner of a limited-edition Rolls-Royce Phantom, identical to Cole’s. No one in their right mind would still believe she was pretending to be an heiress. Who would possibly buy that story now?
