Half a lifetime had passed, yet Miguel’s hatred had only deepened. In the past, Elliana was never his real target. His vengeance was always aimed at Arthur and Milton. He thought letting Rita’s “useless and ugly” daughter live a humiliating life was punishment enough. To him, killing Arthur and Milton would be the finishing blow.

But he’d never expected Elliana’s supposed uselessness and ugliness to be nothing more than a disguise. As Rita’s daughter, Elliana was brilliant, beautiful, and sharp as a blade. He had been fooled once again.

Miguel could not stomach the thought that Rita bore such extraordinary children with another man. He swore neither Milton nor Elliana would be spared. Eva had assumed he admired Wanda. What nonsense. After having loved someone as breathtaking as Rita, how could he settle for a moron like Wanda? His dealings with Eva and his demands of Wanda were nothing more than tools in his schemes against the Campbells.

Just then, one of his subordinates entered. “Mr. Griffiths, Eva and Wanda have been brought in.”

Miguel pulled his gaze from the window. “Take them straight to the lab for the injection. I don’t want to see them.”

“Yes.” The man bowed and left to carry out his order.

Meanwhile, Eva and Wanda stood wide-eyed in the castle’s grand hall, marveling at its splendor. They had been flown in by private jet, drugged for the journey, and woke up in the midst of opulence.

One glance told them only the richest of men could live here. They felt overjoyed to have found such a powerful ally, convinced their days of being overlooked were finally over.

Wanda blushed like a schoolgirl, her head filled with daydreams of romance and passion with the mysterious Mr. Griffiths. She could hardly wait to meet him.

As Wanda lingered in her fantasy, the black-clad subordinate returned.

Wanda hurried forward. “Is Mr. Griffiths ready to see me now?”

The subordinate gave a meaningful smile and gestured. “This way, please.”

Clueless of their true fate as test subjects, Eva and Wanda followed him cheerfully through a side door.

The castle grounds stretched wide, its endless halls twisting like a maze. They walked and turned, not knowing how much time had passed, until at last, they entered a massive laboratory. This content belongs to Find★Novel.net

The lab’s sleek, modern design clashed sharply with the castle’s ancient grandeur.

Wanda walked down the long corridor, bracing herself for a room heavy with romance and mystery. Instead, the black-clad subordinate led her into a cold, sterile laboratory. What were they doing here?

Her eyes darted around in confusion—rows of strange instruments, computers flashing endless streams of code, and scientists in white coats rushing about like clockwork.

Eva frowned and asked, “Weren’t we supposed to meet Mr. Griffiths? Why bring us here instead?”
