June had heard from the hotel staff that Jennie had
there.
There were only a handful of well–known hospitals in Lovell City, June asked around, found the one Jennie was at, and quickly got her room number. Without hesitation, she headed to the 17th floor.
Inside the hospital room, Jennie had just finished her check–up.
The nurse reminded her sternly, “Your heart is weak. Avoid emotional fluctuations. If you feel unwell, press the call button immediately. Also, where’s your family? They should be here.”
“They’re on their way. Thank you,” Jennie replied with a soft, sweet smile, appearing delicate, like a fragile porcelain doll.
Once the nurse left and the door clicked shut, Jennie’s gentle smile vanished, replaced by jealousy.
It had taken a lot of effort to use that fool Calvin to secure an invitation to the Treasure Appraisal Conference. Jennie had thought this rare opportunity would allow her to meet Richard.
But when Jennie tried to approach him, Richard’s men had blocked her. She’d Richard remained cold, saying only, “Die somewhere else”
‘How could he be so heartless?‘ Jennie thought.

Furious, Jennie pounded the bed. The sudden movement caused the monitors to down. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Thinking it was a nurse, Jennie said gently, “Come in.”
To her surprise, it wasn’t a nurse. It was June.
Jennie’s eyes flickered as she smiled politely. “May I ask who you are?”

June didn’t fall for the pretense. “You know me well enough. June Spencer, manager of Miracle Healer.”
Jennie’s smile widened. “Ah, I’ve heard a lot about you. Please, have a seat.”
June sat down, pulling out her phone to glance at the file she’d had compiled on Jennie. It detailed her life from childhood. On paper, Jennie appeared ordinary, born into a loving family, pampered by her parents, and isolated because of her heart condition.
June had tried to find Jennie’s childhood photos but couldn’t locate a single one.
‘Is Jennie’s resemblance to Tiffany natural? Or had Jennie undergone surgery to look like Tiffany?‘ June thought.
Putting her phone away, June looked up at Jennie, her eyes sharp. “I have a question for you, Miss Vallgren.”
Jennie blinked, feigning innocence. “Of course. Go ahead.”
“Why did
you
and your family move to Lovell City? Or is there another reason, something more
calculated?”

June watched Jennie’s face carefully, searching for a crack in her composure.
But Jennie merely smiled. “Is that why you came here? I’m sorry to disappoint you, but my father and I moved here for personal reasons, not for anything sinister.”
Ju
said, “The last person with ulterior motives ended up paying for it.” She gestured with her hand, indicating something ominous. Without waiting for a response, she stood and left the room.
Behind her, Jennie’s polite facade crumbled, replaced by mockery. A smug, arrogant expression appeared on her delicate face.
Sitting in her car outside the hospital, June hesitated. Then, she made a decision and drove to Royal Bay.
June came to find Jennie today to test her words and confirm her suspicions. Despite June’s questions and mocking tone, Jennie remained calm, too calm for an ordinary person.
This only strengthened June’s belief that the woman had hidden motives.
June pressed the accelerator, reaching Royal Bay in just ten minutes. Her timing couldn’t have been better. As she arrived, Richard’s car pulled in right behind her.
The Treasure Appraisal Conference was still buzzing with excitement, but it wasn’t enough to hold Richard’s interest, not when Tiffany wasn’t there.
He stepped out of his car, surprised to see June waiting for him.
But his expression quickly fell when he realized Tiffany wasn’t with her.
June approached him respectfully. “Mr. Hampton, could we speak in private?”
Richard waved off his subordinates and dismissed the servants nearby.
Standing alone in the expansive villa courtyard, June spoke directly. “Mr. Hampton, you must have noticed a woman named Jennie at the venue. She bears a resemblance to Miss Kelley, doesn’t she?”
Richard nodded. “Go on.”
“I believe this woman has ulterior motives. I don’t know why Miss Kelley chose to distance herself from you, but I’m certain this Jennie is part of the reason.”
June had rehearsed this in her mind, but the weight of Richard’s presence was overwhelming. His cold gaze felt like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.
Still, June forced herself to continue. “Mr. Hampton, this issue can’t be ignored. I suggest you investigate it thoroughly and resolve it quickly. Miss Kelley, she….” June hesitated, the words “pregnant with your child” lingering on her lips.
But June stopped herself. She had already gone against Tiffany’s wishes by coming here. Revealing Tiffany’s secret would be an unforgivable betrayal.
Richard’s frown deepened. “What about her?”
“It’s nothing.” June said hurriedly. “I’ve said my piece. I’ll take my leave now.”
After June left, Richard turned to John. “Investigate Jennie,” Richard ordered coldly.
“Yes, sir!”
Night fell.

Lying on his bed, Richard could still faintly smell Tiffany’s fragrance on the sheets and pillows. It was a soft, calming scent that always helped him sleep peacefully.
But as time passed, the scent was fading.
ting his eyes, Richard’s mind was consumed by the image of Tiffany.
