Chris was taken aback and stunned for a moment.

"So..." He turned to Elijah. "The person I've been with these past few days isn't really Lenny!"

"What?" Elijah was equally confused.

"She's not Lenny!" Chris grew agitated. "Lenny must be with her, and she intends to harm her!"

"Mr. Hamerton, please calm down. I can't understand you!"

Chris didn't want to waste time and grabbed a pistol from the room before leaving.

Fleur calmly stopped him. "We need to discuss a plan now. With your emotions high, what can you achieve?"

Elijah scratched his head, speechless.

Fleur asked, "Mr. Chriss, how much do you know about this Sasha?"

"She's my father's illegitimate daughter," Elijah confessed openly now. "But I never tried to find her until my daughter needed a bone marrow transplant. None of our relatives matched." Fleur furrowed her brows. "Where did you find her?"

"It wasn't too difficult," Elijah replied. "Based on my father's clues, my people brought her from Southeast Aciatic. But as soon as she returned, she started wearing a mask, claiming disfigurement. However, she did have something proving her connection to my father."

"And then?"

"Afterward, her behavior became quite strange, raising my suspicions."

"Who's her mother?"

Elijah stated firmly, "Krystal Harding."

Chris' expression changed instantly.

Fleur quickly pieced the puzzle together. "I suppose... Krystal gave birth to two daughters, didn't she?"

Elijah was silent.

"Krystal, Lena, Sasha..." Fleur chuckled. "So, they're all a family!"

"So, you mean..." Elijah widened his eyes. "I have two sisters?!"

His tone changed. "You mean Lena is my sister, and I never knew?!"

Now, Chris looked at him with disdain.

This analysis seemed highly likely.

This unexpected revelation dumbfounded Elijah. However, he quickly realized that with another sister, there was another glimmer of hope for Nala.

"So... where is Lena? Find her now!"

"Do you think I don't want to?" Chris snapped. "It's definitely Sasha... your lovely sister, who has harmed Lenny!"

"Chris, you need to calm down." Fleur tugged at him. "No matter what, we've gathered some clues now. Sasha likely has captured Lenny... But we can't tip our hand. You still need to play along. When Sasha falls into our hands, well... Then it won't be up to her!"

As the anesthesia wore off, Sasha slowly regained consciousness, finding herself alone on the operating table in eerie silence.

Without thinking, she mustered her strength and jumped off the table, searching for the hospital exit.

The hospital was oddly dark, with only green exit signs illuminating the corridors, giving it a horror movie vibe.

Sasha's heart raced as she finally reached the exit. She rushed home, where Zachary scolded her for being late.

Sasha's legs gave way, and she collapsed on the rug.

Her phone rang, and she flung it away in alarm.

Zachary retrieved it, and she answered with effort. "Hello?"

On the line, Lina's voice was cheerful. "Lenny, hope I'm not bothering you."

Sasha struggled to speak. "Of course not."

"That's great!" Lina said with a smile. "There's a party this weekend. You must come!"

"What?"

"It's a celebration! Sol Entertainment, under the Thompson Group, has done well this year, training new talented individuals. They're inviting celebrities to give these newcomers opportunities."

"Oh..."

"You don't sound enthusiastic. Don't you want to come?"

Sasha massaged her temples, feeling agitated.

"Lenny? Are you listening?"

"Mm, I am." Sasha massaged her brows. "Don't worry. I'll be there."

"Great!" Lina laughed heartily. "Bring Chris along! By the way, Zuko's Uncle Neil, an award-winning actor, will be there. I'll introduce you two!"

Sasha responded half-heartedly.

Lina kept talking after discussing the party.

Sasha feared Lina might sense something amiss and endured the hour-long call until her phone overheated. Exhausted, she hung up and slumped on the sofa.

A low voice said, "Are you going to that party?"

Sasha was startled by Zachary's cold gaze.

"I advise against it," Zachary said softly. "Tonight's call was strange. Ms. Thompson doesn't engage in idle chatter. Her change in behavior suggests a reason."

"She and Lena are close, right?" Sasha said wearily. "Friends chat more."

Zachary sighed lightly.

"I want to go to the party!" Sasha insisted. "I can replace Lena!"

"It's not that simple..."

"Stop discouraging me!" Sasha shouted. "You've been like this since I was a child. No matter what I do, you find fault with it! In Southeast Aciatic, every decision I made, you said it was wrong!" "You were making wrong decisions, and I couldn't not say anything," Zachary retorted. "I did it for your good."

"Stop controlling my life with that excuse!" Sasha was hysterical. "My mom entrusted me to your care, not your control!"

"You..."

"Zachary, if you truly care for me, eliminate that woman in the dark room! Do you hear me?"
