Chapter 94 The Inheritance
Madeline’s gaze stayed locked on that room.
There was definitely something wrong with Room 316
Now that they knew where the problem was, Blanc immediately told Chase.

The accident that landed the patient in Room 316 in the hospital really had nothing suspicious about it—it was just an accident. She had been caught in the middle of a six–car pileup.
When she first arrived at the hospital, she was covered in blood and her heart had stopped.
They barely managed to bring her back, but she had remained unconscious for over a month.
“She’s been here for more than half a year. It’s time for her to be discharged,” Bernard said. “I’ve already checked on her. Her major bones are starting to heal. I gave the recommendation–she should be able to leave next month and even make it home for New Year’s.”
Chase stared at the hospital’s surveillance feed. One screen showed the live camera, another showed the patient’s profile from Room 316..
Aimee Duncan. A 24 years old woman.
Reportedly, she had been a top student in the foreign languages department. Right before the accident, she had finished an interview and was on her way back to organize her notes, only to end up in the hospital instead.
By all accounts, she had nothing to do with the Harrison family.
“Aimee… why does her face look familiar to me?” Chase muttered. He held the mouse in one hand and tapped the desk lightly with the other.
There was something about her features.
It wasn’t that he had seen her before. It was more like her face had a familiar outline.
“She’s lived in Gennemont her whole life. Even went to college here,” Bernard said. “Her parents are regular folks–one’s a professor, the other has a PhD in medicine, works for a pharmaceutical company or something.”
Chase glanced up at Bernard. “You looked into all this?”
Bernard flipped his tablet around to show the screen–it was a chat log with Sammy.
Chase fell silent.
Sammy really can do everything.
“At this time, the Quinn Group was probably still in a meeting about their partnership with Typhoon Corp. Sammy, as the chief secretary, should’ve been with Wendy. Yet she somehow still found time to dig up Aimee’s background.
“Everything points to no connection with Madeline,” Bernard said, frowning.

Indeed, they weren’t from the same world, but they couldn’t understand why Madeline had been staring at Room 316. It was possible she had noticed Blanc and was trying to steer them toward 816 on purpose, but that didn’t track.
Blanc always worked clean, and Madeline didn’t seem like the type to play mind games.
She was probably just following orders.
