Chapter 1262

It sounded like something straight out of a novel—a ‘switched at birth’ plot come to life.

Cole, Arthur, and Milton exchanged stunned looks. The kind of story people usually mocked in dramas was now part of the Thompson family’s reality.

The revelation that Rita was a Thompson rippled through the room like a thunderclap. Though shocking, the truth was quickly accepted.

The question now wasn’t whether the news was true—it was how to approach the Thompsons for answers. And that was no small feat.

The Thompsons were one of the most powerful families in the world—private, proud, and nearly impossible to reach. Their world was tightly guarded, and walking in without preparation would be like poking a hornet’s nest. They needed a solid plan before making any move.

As the discussion deepened, the butler stepped forward and bowed slightly to Arthur.

“Sorry to interrupt, but Eva and Wanda have arrived unannounced. They’re asking to see you.”

Arthur stiffened. Eva and Wanda hadn’t been seen since Elliana threw them out. The last anyone knew, they’d vanished on a private jet bound for who-knew-where. Their sudden return was as startling as it was suspicious.

The butler continued, “Since you instructed that they should never return to Harmony Estate, I refused them entry. But they won’t leave. They’re kneeling at the main gate, swearing they’ll stay there until death if you won’t see them.”

Milton scoffed.

“The nerve of those two. After all this time, they crawl back demanding an audience. It stinks of trouble. Dad, you shouldn’t see them.”

Arthur nodded.

“Send them away. If they refuse, have them removed from the mountain.”

Before the butler could leave, Elliana’s calm voice cut in.

“Wait. Let them in.”

Arthur and Milton shot her astonished looks.

“I know why they’re here,” she said with a faint, knowing smile.

“I’ve been tracking them. After I threw them out, Miguel’s men took them to Delta. They’ve been at his chip research facility ever since—implanted with AI chips. They’re no longer themselves. They’re Miguel’s puppets now.”

Arthur and Milton exchanged grave looks. They already knew Elliana had secretly planted a chip on Miguel in the snowcapped mountains. Her words made sense—she must have been monitoring the situation through him.

If Eva and Wanda were now under Miguel’s control, their visit could mean only one thing. They were sent to kill.
