?Chapter 771:
No one noticed Dn’s shift in emotions.
Still puzzled, Trinity looked at Wanda. “Do we really need to be afraid of Lh? Even if shees from money, can it reallypare to the Campbell family’s? With your status as the Campbell family’s daughter, do you really need to be wary of her?”
Wanda pped her again.
This time, Wanda reacted out of embarrassment. If she were truly a Campbell by blood, she’d have nothing to fear. As Trinity said, the Campbells were one of the most powerful families in the world. But the truth was, she wasn’t their real daughter. Everything she had was borrowed. She had to tread lightly or risk ruining everything. One wrong move, and Arthur or Milton would make her pay. Trinity always thought that Wanda’s being adopted by the Campbells made her untouchable. Wanda couldn’t exin how wrong Trinity was. She was nothing within the Campbell household. Still, in front of Trinity, Wanda had to act like she was above it all. It was herst bit of pride.
Trinity stared at Wanda in disbelief. Wanda had always been cold, but she’d never hit her like this before. “Did I say something wrong again?” she asked in a shaky voice.
Wanda held back the storm inside her. Her disgust and rage simmered just beneath the surface. “As the Campbell family’s daughter, I don’t need to fear Lh, but…”
The thought that Lh might be a true heiress of a powerful family gnawed at Wanda’s pride. Jealousy rose in her chest like a bitter tide. Her voice took on a sharp edge. “We still don’t know which prestigious family Lh belongs to. We need to be careful—not just for our sake, but to avoid a public scandal.” It made sense. For all the Campbells’ power and boldness, their reputation mattered. They guarded it like treasure.
Trinity nodded quickly. “I understand, Wanda. I’ll do whatever you say.”

Wanda’s anger finally began to cool. Seeing Trinity so obedient helped settle the storm in her chest. “For now, stay away from Lh. Don’t cross her and never confront her head-on. I’ll handle her myself when the timees.” Wanda had made up her mind—when the opportunity arose, she would ruin Lhpletely.
Meanwhile, after leaving Ublento Medical University, Elliana returned to Rosewood Vi. Thoughts of her time in Cole’s car lingered in her mind—amusing and irritating all at once, with a flicker of bitterness beneath it all. Cole had recovered, almost fully, but he’d forgotten her, and now Wanda was glued to his side.<fnfec8> Latest content published on fι?dnοvel</fnfec8>
Elliana didn’t know how to bring Cole back into her world again. Sighing, she locked herself in the study and immersed herself in ancient texts, searching for any record about the pair of jade bracelets.
Cole had moved on, but she hadn’t. She still carried the weight of their mission—finding their mothers. She couldn’t afford to stop, not even for a second.
Victor had once been her best lead, but after his escape from Podgend, he’d vanished. Herwork hadn’t picked up a single trace of him since. Now, all her hope was pinned on the jade bracelets.
She sat surrounded by thick books, flipping page after page, when a knock broke her focus.
Heather stepped inside. “Elliana, there’s a woman outside. She’s wrapped up tight and won’t give her name. Just said she’s here to see Ms. Marsh.”
Elliana raised her eyebrow. Ms. Marsh? Someone knew her true identity. Elliana checked the surveince. The moment she saw the woman draped in a shawl, a small smile curved her lips. “Let her in.”
