?Chapter 55:


    When Marissa viewed the results of the DNA test, her heart surged with excitement. The document confirmed that Caylee was indeed her biological mother. This exined Marissa’s strong resemnce to Tiffany—they were twins


    But why had Daryl imed that Caylee had only one child? Brian was a distinguished doctor, making it unlikely he would not know his wife was expecting twins. How could Caylee have never mentioned to her family that she had two babies? What was really happening? With many unanswered questions, Marissa felt even more confused. Yet, amid the confusion, she also felt a hint of joy


    Growing up, Marissa had felt less favored by her parentspared to her sister Denise. They frequently berated and physically punished her, branding her a misfortune and iming she was unwanted, which deeply wounded her and filled her with self-doubt. She felt undeserving of anything positive. It wasn’t until she met a kind teacherter on that she began to emerge from those shadows


    Discovering that she wasn’t actually born into the Nash family in Adagend somewhat eased her deep-seated emotional scars. Their mistreatment wasn’t due to her own shorings but because she wasn’t their biological child. Marissa had been adopted by a family in Blo Grein and spent her early years in a refugee camp. Despite her obviously different looks, her adoptive family treated her kindly. Life there was harsh. Marissa often went hungry, and the constant threat of cannonballs hung heavily in the air. Fear was a constantpanion. It was only when Marissa was four years old that Korbin and Betty, who were then working in Blo Grein, took her under their care and brought her to Adagend. They told Marissa that they had given birth to her and Denise while working in Blo Grein, but during a war outbreak, Marissa was lost. They imed they had found her after a long search. However, it now seemed Korbin and Betty had fabricated this story. They had always known she wasn’t their biological child. So why had they adopted her?


    Korbin and Betty were just low-ranking foreign workers in Blo Grein; it seemed imusible that they could have simply taken Marissa from a refugee camp. Who had helped them? How had she be separated from her real parents in the first ce? Marissa suspected a deep and mysterious influence behind these events


    The tales you love are at g?lnσν???s?c?m


    To unravel this mystery, she resolved to dy confronting Korbin and Betty. Even if they were under someone else’s influence, they likely knew little of real value. Now aware of her true identity, Marissa feltpelled to aid Caylee in her recovery, seek out Tiffany, and find out if Brian was still alive


    With resolve, she sent a message to Connor. “Let’s keep our partnership going.” Working in his office, Connor cracked a slight smile when he saw Marissa’s message. He didn’t need further exnation; he guessed that the results of the DNA test were out. Marissa and Caylee must be blood rted, and that was why Marissa chose to maintain their deal. It was in her character not to get involved in the affairs of the Nash, Sanchez, or Daniels families without a substantial reason


    “Are you Caylee’s daughter?” Connor asked. Marissa’s silence was answer enough


    She once again navigated to the Dark Net, sending a private message to Silver Fox. “Keep looking for Blue Wind’s cousin. Ensure it remains confidential and that Blue Wind remains unaware.”


    Silver Fox responded skeptically, “Didn’t Blue Wind say his cousin was back? If you’re looking for his cousin, I can reveal who Blue Wind really is.”


    Marissa replied, “The one who returned is a fake. His real cousin has left Hereigh.”


    Silver Fox asked, “What ties do you have to Blue Wind, ck Snake? What’s going on?”


    Marissa replied curtly, “Don’t ask questions. Just do as I say.”


    After that, Marissa logged off the Dark Net and made her way back to the Nash family’s home, where she was greeted by a dramatic scene in the living room
