Fake Dating The Lycan's Heir의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 97

LILLIAN’S POV“Yes,” I repeated when Vanessa asked me to check the date again. “It's the same day. I'm looking at the registration extract right now.”Helen sat beside me at the dining table. She had opened the folder of papers she'd kept after adopting me, and she watched while I compared the review date Vanessa had read to me with the one on my registration extract.“Does your document say what they were reviewing?” Vanessa asked.“No. There's a classification code beside my registration entry, but the review notation doesn't explain anything. Helen says the papers came with the adoption records.”“Can you ask her whether the council ever told her what the code meant?”I put the question to Helen. She reached for a letter near the back of the folder and held it out to me.“I asked about the second reference after the adoption,” she said. “They told me it concerned historical bloodline administration and wasn't needed for your care. I kept the reply because it didn't answer my questi

COLE’S POV Lillian called the next morning while Dad and I were finishing breakfast. She said she had spoken to Julian Vale’s former solicitor and that the office named in Julian’s objection was the Office of Succession Records. “Have you sent the papers to Arden?” I asked. “Hale is arranging that. I’m not asking you to look at my father’s file, Cole. I thought your family might know what that office did.” “I’ll ask Dad. If we learn anything from the public records, I’ll tell you.” “Thank you. Helen’s waiting for advice before we answer the other council office.” After the call, I repeated what she had told me. Dad put down his cup and considered the name. “There was an office responsible for recording succession eligibility,” he said. “I remember references to it in older council correspondence. That doesn’t explain why it was involved in a child’s registration.” “Could it be the receiving office mentioned in the damaged appendix?” “It could be, but we shouldn’t trea

VANESSA’S POV“If you brought a single council document into this house, Cole Grayson, you're eating dinner outside.”Cole stopped in the doorway with two bags of food.“That's a strange way to welcome someone who's feeding you.”“Answer the question.”“No documents. Just dinner.” He raised an eyebrow. “Unless you'd like to search me?”I folded my arms, trying not to smile. “Don't tempt me.”He laughed as I stepped aside to let him in.Mom appeared from the kitchen while Cole placed the bags on the dining table.“Good evening, Cole,” she greeted him.“Good evening, Mrs. James. I brought enough for everyone.”“That was thoughtful. Vanessa's been telling me you're responsible for dinner tonight.”“She gave me very specific instructions.”“I told him not to bring anything that tastes like cardboard,” I explained, earning an amused look from Mom.Dad joined us shortly afterward and helped unpack the food. Once everything was ready, Mom suggested that Cole and I take our dinner upstairs.“

LILLIAN’S POV “Four registration references, and not one of them has a name?” I stared at the document Arden had placed on her desk. Helen leaned closer, adjusting her glasses to examine the numbers. “The names were recorded in a separate schedule,” Arden explained. “Unfortunately, the council hasn't located it.” “Then how do we know whether my registration was included?” “We don't. But this summary confirms that the joint verification exercise took place and was marked as completed.” I picked up the second page. Four numbers appeared beneath the heading Pending Heir Declarations, followed by dates and abbreviations I didn't understand. “Could each number belong to a different child?” “Possibly. Some references cover multiple registrations, so we shouldn't assume that.” Helen frowned. “Julian challenged this exercise because he was worried about Lillian's registration. Surely they wouldn't have accepted his objection if she wasn't involved.” “Receiving an objection doesn't pr
