What was the relationship between Madam Nephele and Sandra?
After Judy died, Jay had arranged for Sandra to live with Spencer. In the last few days, he had not received any news from Spencer. Clearly, Sandra had learned to stay out of trouble after returning to the Yorks.
Jay had an idea.
The next day.
Jay summoned Jenson and denied his previous speculations, saying, “Your mother visited Grandma Charlotte last night and realized she was restrained by drugs, not taken over by Madam Nephele.
“I want you to think of a way to get Grandma Charlotte out of there, Jens.”
Jenson frowned. “Madam Nephele didn’t take over her body?”
Jay said, “I thought about it. Grandma had always remained in her boudoir and would at most have some dealings with her business partners in the business field. If she suddenly interacted with other women from the other families, she would raise suspicion, so it would be difficult for Madam Nephele to do anything if she replaced her.”
Jenson came to a sudden realization. “If that’s the case, Madam Nephele will probably find someone who can easily approach other members of the Ares family and replace her?”
Jay looked at his son with a smile. Jenson’s speculation nearly hit it right on the head.
Sure enough, Jenson seemed to have a rude awakening the next second.
“Sandra?”
Jay nodded, saying, “She’s replaced Sandra. Even if she doesn’t do anything, she can still hear top secrets about the Ares family from the Yorks men’s gossip.”
“Are you listening to yourself? Who’s gossiping?” Cole had been standing at the door of the study some time ago. Upon hearing Jay’s words, he was so furious that he became red in the face.
Jay and Jenson stared at the uninvited Cole with bone-piercingly cold gazes, seemingly eager to cut thousands of slashes on Cole’s body.
Cole could tell that Jay was serious about this. He pretended to think and said, “In the past, she would do all sorts of graceful gestures and squeeze out a coquettish voice. Right now, she’s always daydreaming. Even her voice sounds normal. She has also stopped being such a drama queen too.”
“What else?” Jay asked, “Are there any changes in her hobbies?”
Cole answered, “She loved jewelry and would wear them all over her body as though she was afraid that others wouldn’t recognize her as Spencer’s mistress. Now, she’s a little unkempt.”
Although Cole’s words were in line with Jay and Jens’ speculations, they were not entirely conclusive. After all, it was normal for a person to undergo temperamental changes after experiencing major events in life.
Jay stopped beating about the bush. “To be honest with you, we suspect that Madam Nephele has taken control over Sandra.”
Cole widened his eyes in astonishment. “Huh?”
Jay said, “So think carefully, have you noticed anything odd about her?”
