GoodReadChapter 67:When Allison cout, Rebecca happily put an arm around her shoulder.
Mr.
Blakely's Chef That man could give any top-notch kitchen a once-over! And while | savored the food, | also got
sjuicy information, Rebecca boasted, her eyes shining with satisfaction.
| found out that Kellan's stepmother was his father's mistress, the one who pushed his real mother to the edge.
And his father No better.
He has his children locked in a twisted pitched battle, practically making them fight for survival.
And even worse, Kellan is competing with his illegitimate siblings.
Rebecca shook her head, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Thank goodness I'm an only child.
None of that sordid family for me.
Allison smiled, her eyes piercing.
You spent very little twith Mr.
Blakely, and yet you learned a lot.
I'm sure you hit it off.
Rebecca shrugged nonchalantly.
It was ok.
Ferdinand is easy on the eyes, | admit, and doesn't waste twith nonsense.

But please, Allison, | have a line of men waiting.
| don't need to chain myself to one.
Relationships are a cage.
You're much freer on your own.
Allison laughed softly.
Rebecca's carefree attitude was as sassy as ever.
Then, as if remembering something, Rebecca leaned closer.
So, how did it go with Kellan? Sprogress on the perfthing.
Allison's face darkened slightly at the question.
She explained her suspicions and carefully removed the lock of hair from her purse, now sealed in a plastic bag.
Rebecca, | need you to helpwith a DNA test.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Rebecca took the bag with a wave of her hand.
Don't worry.
| know a discreet and first-class laboratory.
Rebecca also felt the strangeness of the situation.
The coincidence between Allison's mother's disappearance and Kellan's mother's death was eerily close.
Even their methods of perfuming had a striking resemblance.
The theory seemed plausible, but.
Let's hope this doesn't end up being one of those weird 'soulmates who turn out to be siblings’ situations,
Rebecca joked with a sly smile.
And don't pretend you haven't noticed.
There was a lot of spark between the two of you.
Allison rolled her eyes at the mockery, but eventually raised her hands in defeat.
It's no big deal.
Just two people who crossed paths by chance.
There's no way we're going to end up together.
Rebecca raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing it.
Don't be quick to rule out destiny.
She has a way of throwing curveballs.
Later, at the lab, Rebecca cheerfully handed out the hair samples.
Doctor, take good care of this.
And make sure your team doesn't say anything.
This could affect his funding for the rest of the year.
His words were wrapped in a smile, but the underlying threat was unmistakable.
The doctor nodded respectfully.
Of course.

In reality, the operations of the Ontdale laboratory were largely funded by the Green family, and only served
high-level clients who required the utmost confidentiality.
In their world, discretion was not just a courtesy; It was survival.
Rebecca smiled.
Relax, honey, we'll have the results soon.
How about a celebration dinner? It's been a hell of a day.
Why don't we go to Jasmine's restaurant, Allison agreed, although her appetite wasn't particularly strong.
It had been years since she had visited, and Rebecca's excitement was hard to dismiss.
As soon as she sat in the car seat, exhaustion took over and she fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, they were arriving at the restaurant.
The elegant private dining room was just as | remembered: classic, refined and serene, with lush gardens and
pavilion-style decor that gave it an air of exclusivity.
Only the elite dined here.
Nothing has changed, Allison commented, smiling as she followed Rebecca upstairs.
They had planned a quiet evening catching up over a good meal, but as soon as they walked in, they were met
with an unpleasant sight.
In the corner, looking as fragile and pitiful as ever, was Melany, her eyes full of tears.
Colton, after all these years, how can you still doubt me? | never claimed to be the Scarlet Serpent, and | didn't
know Allison was the one.
