?Chapter 716:

    Wanda feigned a mysterious look. “Cole and I are getting engaged soon. At this critical time, it’s best not to stir up trouble. A murder scandal would be disastrous. What matters most is making sure Elliana leaves Ublento for good.”

    Being the cherished daughter of the Campbell family was Wanda’s proudestbel, and she would never let anyone know the challenges she faced behind closed doors. Even though Trinity was her sister, she wouldn’t reveal the truth.

    Trinity’s voice rose with disbelief. “So you’re just handing Elliana the money and letting her walk away to live happily?”

    A cold gleam shed in Wanda’s eyes. “She won’t be happy for long…”

    Wanda abruptly turned to the bodyguard at her side, her eyes glinting with icy malice. “Monitor Regal Grove without pause. I don’t care where Elliana runs—whichever country she sets foot in, finish her the moment she arrives.”

    “Understood,” the bodyguard responded without hesitation.

    Each of Wanda’s bodyguards had been handpicked by Eva and meticulously honed by the Campbell family, each reaching the level of top international assassins. If Elliana was truly as unremarkable as she seemed, her end would be swift and effortless.

    Trinity’s eyes lit up with venomous glee. “Yes! We must kill Elliana! That wretched snake has tormented me and the Craig family long enough. I want her to pay—horribly!”

    She grabbed Wanda’s sleeve, desperation and rage clinging to her voice. “Please, Wanda, don’t just have her killed. Make her suffer before iming her life. Let her final moments be drenched in agony—that’s the only justice for what she’s done.”

    Wanda recoiled, flicking Trinity’s hand away in contempt. “Enough. Do you think I need you to teach me how to do things?” Her voice dropped. “I’m holding back in Ublento because I don’t want Cole catching wind of this before the engagement. If we make a move, it will be abroad—quiet, neat, and unseen. No mistakes. No traces behind.”

    Wanda cast a piercing, warning re at Trinity. “Hold your tongue—and don’t breathe a word of this to anyone. Elliana’s death must remain an enigma. If things are exposed because of you, I won’t let you off lightly.”

    The menace in Wanda’s eyes made Trinity’s blood run cold. She quickly nodded, her voice trembling. “I won’t say a thing, Wanda. I swear!”

    But Wanda didn’t soften her expression—only a contemptuous stare. After a pause, she spoke, her tone like a de cloaked in silk. “Don’t think I haven’t noticed your infatuation with Cole. I turned a blind eye to your pathetic tricks out of respect for our blood ties. But if you ever try to get close to him again, you’ll share Elliana’s fate. Is that clear?”

    Panic surged through Trinity’s chest. She stumbled a step back, hands raised in surrender. “Yes, Wanda, I—I wouldn’t dare.”

    With a cold scoff, Wanda turned her back and strode toward the house, her presence like a storm that had passed—yet left the air heavy with dread.

    Trinity stood frozen, heart pounding as she watched Wanda disappear inside. She had truly glimpsed the murderous intent in her sister’s eyes.

    Once, Trinity had believed that having a Campbell as a sister would restore her ce among Ublento’s elite. She hadn’t expected to find herself shackled by fear instead. Before Wanda returned, she had only lost her status. Now, she feared for her life with every misstep.

    But Wanda had no time—or interest—for Trinity’s quiet terror. Her top priority now was eliminating Elliana’s existence utterly and without hesitation.
