Chapter 259
I gazed at Damien with indifference, fully anticipating this outcome. It was clear that the one in panic now was not me but Juliet.
Juliet glanced anxiously at Una while hiding behind Damien. She was likely overwhelmed by feelings of guilt and fear. Una’s gaze shifted toward Juliet, a faint smile playing on her lips. It revealed the perceived superiority of higher beings looking down upon those of lower status.
Una didn’t even consider Juliet a potential threat and completely underestimated her.
Juliet was clearly avoiding Una’s gaze. She anxiously tugged at Damien’s sleeve. "Damien... I’m a little flustered. Can you accompany me to the deck to get some fresh air?"
Damien glanced back at Juliet and nodded. "Certainly,"
Juliet let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Una and myself with a sense of pride. I couldn’t fathom what was going through her mind. Did she believe that her intelligence could outshine that of the clone?
"Sophia," Damien said, looking at me and then at Una. He was seemingly unsure of who exactly he should be addressing as "Sophia."
I ignored him, feeling a little disgusted.
"Officer Landon, could you explain..." Damien asked Zion for his assistance in explaining the presence of an individual who bore an uncanny resemblance to Sophia.
As a member of the Global Trade Union, Damien had openly raised the question of human cloning in the laboratory. How he could not know about clones?
Una appeared to be a replica of Sophia, except she was not truly Sophia. Sophia was dead, displayed in a glass cabinet in her death. He had seen the body before. Damien simply refused to acknowledge this truth.
