Chapter 219

Frank found Phoebe’s words intriguing. “So if I say they’re not trustworthy, does that mean they won’t get to hear any of this?”

Phoebe chuckled. “Of course. In that cave, they’ll have to wait outside.”

Since the matter mainly concerned Frank, it was up to him to decide. Reece and Iron, mere pawns…

So they were just disposable like that? Called in when needed and dismissed just as easily?

Both of them turned to Frank, giving him meaningful looks, silently urging him to make the right choice.

Frank ignored them and said to Phoebe, “They’re rebellious enough ahead. If this is about Kalith, they might actually find it useful too.”

He had already guessed that Phoebe and Herrada had uncovered something.

Phoebe nodded. “Alright, since you don’t mind, then I won’t either.”

She then asked, “Did you know there was something off about Edith?”

Frank glanced at Brenda before replying, “Yeah, that’s why I deliberately kept her under my watch.”

Phoebe Jud suspected as much.

She continued. “Then do you know Edith’s birth chart?”

Frank shook his head. “That, I don’t know. I only remember that she has the same birthday as Brenda.”

He had always remembered Brenda’s birthday—he had even celebrated it with her before.

Phoebe took a photo out of a folder on the table and handed it to Frank. “Take a look. Does this seem familiar?”

Frank studied it, and his face showed obvious surprise.

“She was born on the exact same year, month, day, and even hour as me. So all her previous information was fake?”

Brenda asked, “Have you never seen her ID before?”

When she first saw Edith’s birth certificate, she had been just as shocked.

After all, luckily she worked at Frank’s company; Edith had filled in her birthdate as the same as Brenda’s.

Frank shook his head. “Never looked at it. But when she joined the company, she must have registered with her ID. Salary payments require real-name verification. I’ll have to pull up her records.”

He immediately made a call. Since there was no difference, his company’s IT manager overseas was still at work.

Within minutes, a photo of Edith’s ID copy was sent over.

Frank held up his phone to show them. “Her ID number is exactly the same as Brenda’s.”

Horrida frowned. “Then why is it different from her birth certificate?”

Frank and Brenda murmured, “Probably deliberately altered.”

Merle nodded. “That’s what I suspect.” Then she asked Frank, “You were born a little later than Kalith, but still within the same hour, right? I was born exactly half an hour before her.”

Chapter 2

Recce and Leim were utterly lost and stared at Hire in confusion.

Morte explained, “Simply put, Edith was a pawn for Frank; the whole thing was planned.”

Berrode’s eyes widened. “To your way of thinking, at the end, their fates were tied together; their locks are linked, shifting…”

Cat was confused. “What do you mean by ‘linked locks’ and ‘shifting’ between…”

Fratrutational Brank and Betutës, with puzzled expressions, she explained, “Think of it like a dodder vine that can only grow by clinging to a strong tree. Frank is the tree, and…”

And she asked, “Hasn’t Budal always been helping you in business?”

“…given quite a bit of intel on The Harvey Group. That’s why I wondered why Frank needed anything suspicious; Edale’s father hurt yet he still kept her around.”

Korw Phorter was an incredible humorope master, so he wasn’t surprised by her findings.

He had always known. Over the years, she’d helped me quite a lot. We’ve had a mutually beneficial relationship. But I always knew her…

Judicis liked him, he knew that their feelings were surprisingly meaningful.

…played small favors as a cover. Her intentions were far from simple.

He was planning to walk all over him one day, so he had never fully trusted her. They were intricately connected like that.

…carefully brought her into their lives only to treat her coldly and push her toward him.

Completely taken aback by her…

Puente replied, “The world taken away, the will continues; also, sort it out. Rise in power and take over The Harvey Family; your fortune will skyrocket—and she’ll leech at least a third of it, maybe even half.”

“Epena, and I think this is a good thing?”

…inficons, and good luck was crucial for success.

Half of lán kork, that nurant his career and personal life would not go as smoothly as they…

Frank: “Before, I brought this dish—was it spenne? My step-mother deliberately placed it beside me—helping more to build my empire, only to betray me.”

…and then stole everything for my younger brother.

Stepenother were selecting and that they had a lepe matter guiding them.

A greater part of me was pushing something much bigger.

Why did her ID get changed to match Brenda’s? Was it just…
