"Are you sure the crew you bribed did as I instructed?" Michelle barked through the phone, her voice so loud that Mia had to hold her phone away from her ear to avoid damaging her eardrums. "We both know that preservatives in makeup products trigger Anastasia’s allergy, and this is the only way we have to confirm if Selene is Anastasia!"
"I assure you ma’am. The crew said she completed her work and I made sure to threaten her well. This only means that Selene isn’t Anastasia and there’s nothing for you to worry about anymore," Mia responded.
In frustration, Michelle ended the call abruptly. Mia’s responses were not what she wanted to hear.

The only way she could find any semblance of peace was by definitively confirming that Selene was not, in fact, Anastasia. Until then, the uncertainty would continue to haunt her.
"Arghh!!" Michelle yelled like a mad woman whose red button had been tapped. "That woman is playing tricks with me."

"Is there a problem?" A servant asked her and Selene immediately shook her head.
