Elena called Alexander Vance back immediately.

The call went straight to voicemail.

She tried again, walking towards the window as if moving closer to the night might somehow bring his voice back. Nothing changed. His phone was either switched off or out of reach.

“What's happened?” Catherine asked.

Elena turned around, still holding the phone.

“Alexander Vance says the man holding my husband isn't Adrian. He says it's the man who raised Alexander.”

Catherine stared at her. “Edward?”

“He didn't

  • The Billionaire's Ruthless Reclamation    Chapter 126: The Girl Who Must Never Remember

    Elena could barely breathe as she stared at the photograph on her phone.Lydia Cross.The name had appeared in every corner of the investigation, attached to hospital records, old photographs, and messages from people who seemed determined to keep the truth hidden. Yet until that moment, Elena had never considered that Lydia might have been more than a woman who arranged the transfer of newborns.What if Lydia had been one of the children?What if the woman they were searching for had been living under a different identity all these years?“Show me the photograph again,” Alexander Sterling said.Elena handed him the phone. He enlarged the image, studying Catherine's handwriting and the document beside her.“The final transfer involved two girls,” he said. “But the name Lydia Cross appears beneath the heading. That could be the name of a child, the person responsible for the transfer, or someone who witnessed it.”“Then we need to find out which,” Elena replied.Amara moved closer, her

    Elena read the note three times, hoping the words would somehow change.**YOU SAVED THE WRONG CHILD, JUST AS YOUR FATHER DID.**Beneath the message, Lydia Cross's name stared back at her.“Someone wants us to believe Edward was responsible for the transfers,” Alexander Sterling said. “That doesn't mean he acted alone.”Elena lifted her eyes. “Are you defending your father?”“No. I'm telling you that the person who wrote this wants us angry enough to make mistakes.”Alexander Vance took the note from her and examined the handwriting. “Whoever sent this knew exactly where the baby would be found. They may have been watching the hospital the entire time.”“Then they could have taken the baby again,” Amara said.“Unless they wanted us to find the child,” Elena replied.Everyone turned toward her.She looked through the glass doors toward the emergency department, where doctors were examining the rescued infant. The baby had been returned safely, but the note had transformed what should ha

  • The Billionaire's Ruthless Reclamation    Chapter 124: The Sister Who Was Never Lost

    Elena stood motionless in the hospital corridor, the phone still pressed against her ear long after the call had ended.Your sister.The words kept repeating in her mind. For years, she had believed the questions surrounding her birth were nothing more than fragments of a painful family history. Now, every answer seemed to uncover another secret, and every secret led to someone who had spent years making sure the truth remained buried.Alexander approached her, his expression tightening when he noticed her pale face.“Elena, what happened?”She lowered the phone. “Someone called me. They said they knew the sister I had been searching for all my life.”Amara, who had been standing beside Alexander Vance, turned sharply.“Your sister?” she asked.“That was exactly what I asked. The caller wouldn't give me a name. They just said she was the one I had been searching for.”Alexander Sterling took the phone from Elena, checked the number, and handed it back to her. “It's hidden. We can't tr

  • The Billionaire's Ruthless Reclamation    Chapter 123: The Woman Who Bore the Twins

    Elena stared at the photograph on her phone.Evelyn Ashbourne stood beside Alexander Vance outside the hospital, one hand resting on his arm as though she had every right to touch him. Alexander's twin brother looked older than he had in the photographs Elena had seen, but there was no mistaking his face.The message beneath the picture seemed to burn into her mind.ASK HER WHO BORE YOU.“Alexander,” she whispered.Her husband took the phone and studied the photograph. His expression changed when he recognised the woman beside his brother.“Evelyn.”“She was supposed to be dead,” Elena said.“So was Richard. Apparently, death certificates have become invitations to return in this family.”Despite the fear tightening her chest, Elena almost laughed. Then she looked at the photograph again.“Your brother is alive. He knows who his mother is, and someone wants us to ask Evelyn about mine.”Alexander handed the phone back.“We're going to the hospital first. We need to make sure the baby

  • The Billionaire's Ruthless Reclamation    Chapter 122: The Blood Between Them

    Elena couldn't breathe.She stared at the document on the table, reading the names repeatedly as though the letters might rearrange themselves into something less horrifying.Alexander Sterling.Listed as her biological father.“No,” she whispered.Richard Hale watched her with cold satisfaction. “You see? This is what happens when people build their lives on secrets. Eventually, the truth finds a way out.”Alexander snatched the document from the table.“This is a forgery.”“Perhaps. But you'll find that the laboratory records attached to it are considerably harder to dismiss.”Alexander turned the page. A series of genetic markers had been listed beneath the declaration, followed by a laboratory stamp and a date from years earlier.Elena watched his expression change.“Alexander?”He looked at her, then back at the paper.“I don't understand this.”Richard adjusted his cufflinks. “You don't have to understand it immediately. You only have to accept that the evidence exists.”“Eviden

  • The Billionaire's Ruthless Reclamation    Chapter 121: The Woman Who Called Herself Mother

    Elena couldn't move.The woman standing before her had Catherine's eyes, but there was something unfamiliar about her face. She looked older than the photograph, with faint lines around her mouth and a thin scar running from her jaw towards her ear.“You're lying,” Elena whispered.The woman tightened her grip on Elena's wrist.“I knew you would say that.”“Catherine is my mother.”“Catherine raised you. That isn't the same thing.”Across the room, Alexander turned towards them. The moment he saw the woman holding Elena, his expression changed.“Let her go.”The woman produced a small pistol from beneath her coat and pressed it against Elena's side.“Stay where you are, Alexander.”He stopped immediately.“Whatever you want, we can discuss it. There's no need to threaten her.”“That's what every man in your family says before he takes something that doesn't belong to him.”Adrian's name suddenly came to Elena's mind. She looked around, but he wasn't in the room.“Who are you?” Alexand
