Chapter 1661: That’s… what she’s been through.
"She may very well be the same woman Uncle Haines once knew. But I think... she was either an impostor — or my mother’s twin."
Another wave of silence fell over everyone, the weight of Zoren’s words palpable. All eyes were fixed on him, thoughts swirling with unease.
"If so, does that mean your mother is alive?" Atlas’s cold voice finally cut through the heavy air. Zoren slowly turned to meet his gaze.
"Probably," Zoren shrugged. "But it also suggests she may have known about what happened."
He paused, shifting his attention to Charles and Haines. "She may know who that woman was and why she’s so important, or why she did what she did. That is if she is alive, which I highly believe she is."
Another moment of tense silence followed his words, all eyes on him.
"According to Mint’s reports, she suspected that the woman caught in the crossfire might actually be someone involved in the lethal drug trade on the black market," Hugo mused, rubbing his chin while leaning against the wall. "From what she gathered, she concluded they needed to find her body because she had the formula imprinted beneath her skin."
He paused, looking at them. "If not there, then somewhere inside her organs. Intense, but plausible. I’ve encountered worse on the battlefield."
"I heard from Penny," Charles nodded. "It explains why those men needed her body even after her death."
"But that’s not our main concern right now," Atlas interjected. "We’re dealing with multiple women who share the same face. Including Naylani, who hanged herself, the woman who died in the special ops, and Uncle Haines’ former lover... I believe there may be more than one or two."
