?Chapter 705:

    Adah quietly followed Elliana to the study on the second floor.

    Elliana brought out two jade bracelets and exined everything she had learned about them.

    Adah’s eyes widened. “Elliana, after all the investigations we’ve done, we know your mother and mine escaped from overseas to Ublento together. How are they now connected to Cole’s mother?”

    “This surprised me too,” Elliana replied. “At first, I thought my mother and Cole’s mother simply had a doctor-patient connection. But when I confirmed that Alice was Cole’s mother and saw these jade bracelets, everything changed. I believe the three of them all came from the same ce.”

    Adah’s brows furrowed. “If the three of them shared the same origin, why did only your mother and mine interact? Why was Cole’s mother never around? As far as I can remember, my mother never met Cole’s mother.”

    Elliana nodded thoughtfully. “From what my mother left behind, she and Cole’s mother never met in Ublento either. Even Cole’s mother’s blood sample was sent through a middleman, whom I suspect to be Victor.”

    Adah leaned deeper into thought. “They didn’t meet in Ublento, yet they kept in touch. That means they had contact beforeing to Ublento.” Elliana gave a small nod of agreement.

    Frustration crept into Adah’s voice. “What exactly was their rtionship? Where did theye from? And why did they all vanish together? How long will this mystery go on?”

    Though Elliana felt the same pressure, she remainedposed. “The key lies in these bracelets,” she said calmly.

    Adah turned her attention back to the jade pieces.

    “These are ancient… priceless. Adah, from now on, focus all your efforts on discovering their origin,” Elliana continued.

    Thorn Rose had its own intelligencework, built by Elliana herself. Adah usually oversaw its operations, and Elliana often entrusted her with sensitive investigations.

    “Okay,” Adah said with a nod.

    In the days that followed, Elliana stayed mostly indoors, quietly observing the situation.

    Then, two weekster, unexpected news spread—Cole was getting engaged to Wanda.

    That same day, Ruben called. “Elliana, have you heard about Cole and Wanda’s engagement?”

    “Yes, Ruben,” Elliana replied.

    Ruben didn’t pause. “Arthur has suddenly decided to settle permanently in Ublento. He brought Eva and Wanda with him… and his son, Milton Campbell.”

    Elliana blinked in surprise. “Arthur has a son? Is he adopted too?”

    Ruben said, “No. Milton is Arthur’s biological son. He was born long before Eva married into the Campbell family. No one knows who his mother is, even now. Still, Arthur cherishes Milton. It’s likely Milton will be the next Campbell head. He’s every bit as capable as Cole.”

    Ruben sighed deeply. “Elliana, I’m telling you this because even though the Evans and Campbells are tied by marriage, we have no say in their decisions. You…”

    He paused, struggling to continue. He clearly wanted to warn her about the Campbell family’s intentions to eliminate her.
