That wasn’t what he meant. Joseph Hayes had mentored many talented designers, and Dylan simply wanted an introduction.

“Stella, that’s not what I meant. I just…”

“Dylan, she’s just too embarrassed to admit it, so don’t push her,” Eliana cut in, her voice dripping with false

concern.

“Falcon Barclay just voiced a little suspicion and his reputation was ruined. It’s pretty clear something shady is going on between them, but it’s not our place to judge, is it?”

Dylan frowned at her. “Eliana, don’t just say things like that.”

“I’m not! It’s obvious they have an inappropriate…”

“Eliana.” Serena’s voice, as cold and sharp as shattering ice, cut her off.

Her expression was glacial. “Only someone with a mind as filthy as yours would assume everyone else is just as dirty. You and I were at the same competition years ago. I didn’t even know you then. I got a call that Dylan was in a car accident, and I dropped everything to go to him.

“If I hadn’t been the first one there, he wouldn’t have survived his injuries. He’s only standing here today because I gave him a dose of an experimental drug that cost a fortune.”

She then turned her icy gaze back to Eliana. “And you? After that competition, when you found out his family’s business had collapsed and he needed a liver transplant, you ran off with another man. Of course,” she added, glancing at Dylan, “you’ll never believe any of this. In your eyes, she’s flawless.”

Serena shot a final, ambiguous look at Eliana’s venomous face and turned to leave.

A cold smile touched her lips. She wasn’t going to hold back anymore.

And thanks to Beatrice Ashford, she now had the perfect reason to pay a visit to the mansion.

Dylan still had a thousand questions for Serena, but Eliana grabbed his arm.

“Dylan, look at her. Even now, she’s still trying to tear me down,” Eliana sniffled, playing the victim. “She’s said her piece, and now there’s nothing I can do but trust that you believe me.”

Dylan’s brow furrowed. He looked at Eliana, remembered the injuries she’d shown him, and pushed his doubts aside. Serena was probably just overreacting.

But her words echoed in his mind, stirring a deep, unsettling irritation. He had to fight the urge to go after her.

“Let’s go,” he said abruptly, striding away. “I have a lot to deal with at the office, but we’re making a stop at the

house first.”

:..

Eliana watched him go, biting her lip in frustration. Her plan had completely backfired.

That old fool Joseph Hayes, fawning over Stella’s designs.

Damn Stella, always getting in her way.

Now, her only hope was Beatrice.

When Serena got back in the car, Chris Maddox was practically bouncing in his seat, grinning like a kid on Christmas morning.

“Congratulations on the win, Ms. Hale! You were amazing.”

Serena smiled at his enthusiasm. “Alright, that’s enough. Let’s go. To the Ashford mansion.”

The mention of the Ashfords made Chris’s expression turn serious. He remembered the update he had.

“Right, Ms. Hale. I have news about the doctor and midwife from back then. The midwife’s name is Penny West. She quit a few days after your delivery and moved back to her hometown, where she built an expensive villa. The story is she married a rich guy.” ”

He continued, “But I checked into her husband. He’s just a low–level civil servant. People bought the story because they saw the new house and the fancy car, but no one dug any deeper.

“The doctor, Rosalie Avery, is still working at the hospital. She lives in a wealthy neighborhood, but that’s not entirely out of reach for someone in her position, especially if she’s taking kickbacks on major surgeries.”

A murderous glint appeared in Serena’s eyes. “Beatrice and Eliana could never have pulled this off without the attending physician’s help. Both of those women are accomplices.”

She paused, then gave a new order. “Have Lyra and Caleb find out if the daughter Eliana claimed to have is still alive. And I want a full report of her travel history for the past few years.”
