Eleanor could no longer tolerate Camilla’s insults.

She stepped forward, her eyes as cold as ice.

“Enough.”

Her sharp voice echoed through the boutique, causing everyone to fall silent once again.

“You keep saying Dominic lives off women.”

“You keep calling him a loser.”

“But tell me, Camilla…”

She took another step closer.

“If he truly depended on women, why would he refuse my payment just now?”

Camilla’s expression stiffened for a brief moment before she scoffed.

Somewhere beneath her feet, machinery roared to life.Dominic tightened his grip on her hand. “Camilla, stay behind me.”The man with the silver ring laughed softly. “You still think this is about protecting her.”Dominic glared at him. “Whatever you want from her, you won't get it.”“You're wrong.”The man took one step forward.“I don't want anything from her.”His eyes moved to Camilla.“The system wants her.”Suddenly, the screens around them changed. The files disappeared, replaced by lines of genetic data moving rapidly across the monitors.Camilla felt a strange pressure in her chest.Then the silver pendant around her neck became warm.She grabbed it.“What is happening?”Isabella stared at the pendant.“Where did you get that?”Camilla looked at her. “I've had it for as long as I can remember.”Isabella's expression changed.“That

    Chapter 125Isabella stood with the gun lowered at her side, her fingers wrapped tightly around it. The confidence she had shown earlier was gone. Her face had become pale, and her eyes remained fixed on the screen where Sophia was being held.Camilla noticed every detail.“Isabella,” she said quietly. “You know him.”Isabella didn't answer.“Who is he?”Isabella swallowed hard. “I know what he is.”“That isn't what I asked.”The woman finally looked at Camilla. There was something in her eyes that made Camilla's stomach tighten.“I know what he did to us.”Elena stepped closer. “Then tell us.”Isabella shook her head.“Not here.”A deep voice suddenly came through the speakers.“Still trying to protect them, Isabella?”Everyone froze, the man on the screen stepped closer to Sophia.Camilla stared at him.The silver ring on his finger caught the light.She had seen that ring before, in the photograph.In the old recordings.In the memories that had been buried so deeply inside her tha

    Chapter 124Camilla couldn't move. She stared at the young woman standing beside her mother, unable to understand what she was seeing. Another face that looked like hers. Another person claiming to be her sister.Elena stepped forward first. “Who are you?”The woman smiled at her. “You really don't remember me?”Elena shook her head.The woman looked at Camilla. “But she does.”Camilla's heart raced. “I don't know you.”The woman's smile faded. “You will.”Dominic moved closer to Camilla. “Stay behind me.”The woman glanced at him. “You always do that.”Dominic frowned. “Do what?”“Protect her from things she has a right to know.”Camilla looked at her mother. “Who is she?”Her mother remained silent.“Mom?”Her mother's eyes filled with tears.“Camilla, please.”“Please what?” Camilla's voice broke. “How many more people are there that look like me? How many more secrets are you going to keep from me?”The young woman stepped forward. “There were three.”Camilla stared at her.“Three

    Chapter 123Camilla stared at Marcus. “Why me?”Marcus didn't answer immediately. His eyes moved toward Victor, and Victor's expression told Camilla that there was something both men were afraid to say.Dominic stepped forward. “Dad, if you know something, now is the time to say it.”Marcus sighed. “The old Blackcrest headquarters wasn't just a business headquarters. It was where everything began.”Sebastian frowned. “Everything?”“The experiments. The records. The agreements between the families. Your grandfather's plans.” Marcus looked at Camilla. “And the first time they discovered what you could do.”Camilla's eyebrows pulled together. “What could I do?”Victor interrupted. “We don't have time for this.”Camilla turned toward him. “You always say that whenever I ask a question.”Victor looked at her. “Because Richard has Sophia.”That silenced everyone.Camilla tightened her fists. “Then we're going.”Dominic immediately nodded. “I'm coming with you.”Marcus shook his head. “No. R

    Chapter 122The little girl smiled and Camilla's heart pounded as memories continued rushing through her mind. She saw herself as a child, standing in this same room with another little girl. They had been separated by the glass, and Camilla remembered crying as men carried the other girl away.“I'll come back for you,” little Camilla had promised.The memory disappeared as quickly as it came.Camilla covered her mouth.“I remember.”Dominic held her shoulders. “What do you remember?”“That girl.” Camilla pointed toward the glass. “Her name is Sophia. I knew her.”Elena stared at the child. “But she looks exactly like us.”Victor looked away Camilla noticed.“You knew.”Victor didn't respond.“You knew about her!”Victor finally turned toward her. “I knew there was a third child.”“But you never told me.”“Because I was trying to protect you.”Camilla shook her head. “Everyone keeps saying they're protecting me while lying to me.”The little girl suddenly knocked on the glass everyone

    Chapter 121“Camilla…" the whisper came again from beneath the floor.Camilla's blood ran cold. She stared at the ground, trying to understand how she could possibly recognize that voice. It wasn't loud, but there was something about it that felt familiar.Dominic grabbed her arm. “Don't go anywhere.”Camilla looked at Victor. “Who is down there?”Victor didn't answer.“Victor!” she demanded.His eyes remained fixed on the floor.“You don't understand what you're asking.”“I've been hearing that sentence my entire life.” Camilla pulled her arm away from Dominic and stepped toward him. “Every time I ask about my past, everyone tells me I don't understand. I'm done with that.”Victor's expression tightened.“You're not ready.”Camilla laughed bitterly. “Then make me ready.”Richard suddenly spoke from behind them. “Let her go.”Everyone looked at him Richard slowly lowered his weapon.“You've kept her away from the truth long enough.”Victor turned toward him. “You don't get to speak ab
