The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1661

Years back, Hunter disappeared without a trace. Jim scoured every inch of Merrywoods but came up empty-handed. Eventually, the heartbreaking news reached him: Hunter had been killed and was gone for good.

Jim couldn't bring himself to accept that Hunter was truly gone, so he never stopped searching.

Later, he stumbled upon a list from a medical school with Hunter's name on it, revealing that she was part of a tragic experiment where all participants perished.

The incident was such a colossal failure that the authorities wiped out all records to keep it under wraps. No matter how hard Jim tried, he hit a dead end every time.

Despite never giving up over the years, Jim had reluctantly accepted that Hunter had fallen victim to those ruthless experiments.

But now, looking at this photo, Jim felt something stir inside him, like his long-numb heart was waking up.

If this picture was really from years ago, it wouldn't look like this now.

Jim finally met Santos's gaze. "What's your connection to Hunter?"

The surname was rare but not unheard of.

Even though Santos had left the Stevenson family, he wasn't about to spill the Massolio family secrets to a stranger. He simply said, "We come from the same place."

Being from the same neck of the woods naturally suggested they knew each other.

Jim kept his voice steady, avoiding the question of whether Hunter was alive. Instead, he asked, "Where is she now?"

"I'm afraid I can’t say," Santos replied calmly, adding, "Since Nellie doesn't want Mr. Davis finding her, she must have her reasons."

Jim wasn't bothered by Santos's response; instead, he felt a sense of relief. His stern face revealed nothing.
