?Chapter 696:

    Despite holding so much power, the Sun Group kept itself in the shadows. Reporters never covered its affairs, its name never appeared on any rich lists, and…

    Most ordinary people had never even heard of it. Mystery also shrouded the Campbell family. Not a single photograph of Arthur, the current head, could be found online.

    Elliana had known nothing about either the Sun Group or the Campbells until she entered Delta. The stories she heard painted the Campbells as a family both enigmatic and intimidating, and she had never crossed paths with any of them. Could Cole have been talking about the same Campbell family? The one with a reputation for power and secrecy?

    The question had barely formed in her mind before Ruben spoke up. “Elliana, do you know anything about the Sun Group?”

    That question caught her so off guard that she quickly pulled over to the side of the road, hands shaking on the wheel and heart pounding in her chest. “Ruben, are you telling me the Campbell girl Cole wants to marry is actually Arthur Campbell’s daughter?”

    “That’s right,” Ruben responded. “From the way you reacted, I can tell you understand what the Sun Group represents. If Cole gets engaged to her, there’s no room for change.”

    Every word made the truth clear. Elliana could not hope to challenge the Campbell family. Suddenly, she tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her eyes narrowing, a sharp determination lighting her face.

    Ruben continued, “Elliana, if you want to win Cole back, you have to act before he heads to the Campbell family estate. Once that happens, he won’t be yours anymore.”

    After thinking it over, Elliana asked, “Ruben, how are the Evans family and the Campbell family connected?”

    “Cole’s aunt is married to Arthur,” Ruben answered.

    Hearing this was aplete surprise for Elliana. Even after marrying Cole, she had never once met his aunt Eva, nor had anyone ever brought up Eva’s name, and she had never been curious enough to ask. It never urred to her that Eva had married abroad and be Arthur’s wife.

    Ruben added, “Eva joined the Campbell family many years ago, but she was unable to have children of her own. She ended up adopting a girl instead. She and Arthur have just this one daughter, Wanda, who is twenty-four years old now.”

    So Cole was going to marry Eva’s adopted daughter. Elliana finally sorted out the rtionships and asked, “Did Cole and Wanda ever know each other?”

    “They did.”

    They’ve known each other since they were little,” Ruben said without hesitation. “Wanda is Trinity’s older sister, but she was adopted by Eva shortly after birth. She’s lived with the Campbell family and has visited Ublento a few times, so she’s met Cole before.”

    Understanding how everyone was connected made things clear for Elliana, but it also brought her pain. Her earlier suspicions suddenly seemed very likely. Cole’s feelings for Wanda had started in childhood and never truly faded. Yet,ter on, she hade into his world because of a twist of fate and an unexpected marriage. Now that his memory of her had vanished, while Wanda still filled his thoughts, it was obvious where his heart truly belonged.

    Faced with this truth, Elliana found herself wondering if it was finally time to let him go.

    Giving up on Cole? The thought struck Elliana like lightning. Just days earlier, she and Cole had been inseparable, pledging eternal love. How could she consider giving up so quickly?
