Chapter 143 They Look Alike
Alina had just stepped out of her car.
Her company was far
away, which was why she’d arrived late.

She glanced at Yvette’s text, shook her head, and smiled faintly, not taking it too seriously.
She assumed Yvette was simply amazed by how beautiful Noelle was. She’d already guessed Noelle couldn’t possibly look ordinary.
Still, she was curious to see for herself what kind of face Miss Noelle had.
Alina quickened her pace.
When she reached the private room, she grabbed the handle and pushed the door open.
Yvette and Madeline were facing her. Seeing her Madeline beamed. “Alina! Finally! We’ve been waiting for you!”
Noelle turned around as well, and their eyes met
Alina froze, hand still on the door handle, staring slack–jawed at Noelle’s face.
Yvette stepped forward and pulled Alina over to a seat. “Don’t just stand there. Sit down. We already ordered. I got all your favorites.”
Alina snapped out of it and let Yvette guide her to the chair. But if anyone looked closely, they’d see her hands trembling a bit under the table, and her breathing uneven.
Noelle noticed something off. “Alina, are you okay?”
Alina forced a smile. “I’m fine. It’s just… seeing you without a mask for the first time. You’re as stunning as Yvette said.”
Noelle frowned slightly, sensing Alina was hiding something.
“I’ve got a client calling. You guys go ahead and chat. I’ll step out for a bit.”
Alina stood up so abruptly that the chair legs scraped loudly against the floor.
She hurried out, leaving Madeline stunned.
“Alina must be exhausted,” Madeline said sympathetically. “Noelle, you don’t know this. Alina might be from a rich family, yet she’s worked so hard.

Yvette excused herself to the restroom and found Alina in the hallway. She walked over and asked gently, “You also think they look alike, don’t you?
“I was shocked when I first saw her. Ms. Kain looks so much like your mom.
“I even wondered… Could she be your missing sister?
“Alina, do you want me to ask about Ms. Kain’s background? She looks so much like Mrs. Guzman. She might really be Charlotte. I-”
Alina pressed a hand against the wall, bending her back slightly as she took a slow breath. Then she straightened up, regaining her usual composed posture.
She shook her head. “Yvette, I know you’re trying to help, but don’t get involved yet. I’ll look into Noelle myself. And don’t tell my parents for now.
“Lots of people look alike. She might just remind me of my mom. If we’re wrong, it’ll just give my mom false hope.”
Yvette smiled. “You’re right. I’m just too impatient. We shouldn’t say anything to Mrs. Guzman until we’re sure. But if you need help, just let me know.”
“Hmm.” Alina lowered her eyes, hiding the storm inside. “Let’s go back and eat.”
They returned to the private room and took their seats.
Yvette wanted to ask more about Noelle, but she remembered Alina’s warning and held back.
After dinner, everyone went their separate ways.
Alina returned to the Guzman Residence. She’d drunk quite a bit. A servant told her that Mary was in Charlotte’s room.
