When Eliza claimed she had been in the room, the servant quickly nodded in agreement. “Yes, Ms. Rivers stayed by Miss Vivian’s side the whole time.”
Hearing that, Wendy finally eased her expression.

“There are other matters I must handle in the estate today. I won’t keep you any longer. As for what Mr. Hayes mentioned earlier, we’ll continue that discussion another time.”
She ordered her people to see Eliza and Nolan out.
Just then, the bodyguard from the second basement came upstairs. “It must have been an elevator malfunction. We checked the surveillance–no abnormalities.”
“That convenient?”
Wendy never believed in coincidences.
Today of all days–Nolan and Eliza visited, Vivian collapsed, and then the elevator failed.
“Did anyone enter the second basement?”
“The doors opened briefly, but it was empty. Then they shut again in an emergency close.”
“Check the footage again.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Wendy watched Eliza and Nolan’s retreating figures. If they dared to come to her estate again, she would have every reason to doubt them.
Outside-
The moment they left the gates, Eliza’s legs gave out and she fell into Nolan’s arms.
She couldn’t even imagine what would have happened if they had been caught.
“When Vivian wakes up, if she tells Wendy I knocked her out, then our alliance with Wendy is finished. She’ll never trust us again. That would leave us with no choice but to keep cooperating with Cramer for protection abroad. But depending on him alone feels too risky.”
“Morten’s clone is underground, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”

Eliza blinked, startled. “How did you know?”

She hadn’t told him that the clone was in the second basement, yet Nolan had seen through it.
“When the alarm went off, Wendy instinctively looked toward the elevator. That gave it away. And this estate faces the sun. If she were hiding a clone, it would have to be underground.”
“This place is definitely hiding something. Vivian said only Wendy can enter the second basement, yet when the doors opened, I saw her personal bodyguard there.”
It had been sheer luck Eliza reacted quickly and slipped into the blind spot.
If the guard had spotted her, she might already be dead.
A lunatic like Wendy wouldn’t hesitate to kill, even if she was the Sue family’s daughter.
“Eliza, we won’t get another chance.”
Whether or not Vivian exposed her, Wendy would never allow them back. And given how much she treasured Morten, she would certainly move the clone soon.
If that happened, finding him again would be nearly impossible.
“Then we act tonight.”
Eliza’s voice was firm. This was their only window–Wendy wouldn’t have had time yet to react. Within twenty–four hours, the clone would be moved, and their chance gone forever.
“My thoughts exactly.”
Nolan’s resolve matched hers.
They both knew–this night would decide everything.
Inside the estate-
Wendy rushed back underground to check on Morten.
