Claire was still in disbelief when Elizabeth told her everything.

“Grandma, what do you mean?”

She didn’t even dare to ask if the girl in the photo was Anna. It had been four years. It was known she had been dead that long. How could she still be alive and well?

Elizabeth nodded. “Yes, that’s what you understand.”

Claire chuckled in surprise. “Grandma, how is this possible? If this girl is really Anna, why doesn’t she come back? Why does she stay abroad?”

“Could it be that she just looks exactly like Anna? There are many people in the world who bear a resemblance to each other. Otherwise, why do celebrities have so many stand-ins?”

She really couldn’t think of any reason why Anna should remain abroad for many years and not return.

“Claire, there is no such coincidence in the world. I have been investigating what happened four years ago and have been following the clues.”

“It is true that there are many people in this world who bear a striking resemblance to each other. The girl may look a lot like…”

When Elizabeth saw the plots, she, too, wondered if the two girls were still powerful. All the evidence led her to dig deeper.

“Grandma, I still can’t believe it. If this is all…”

Staring at the photo intently, Claire shook her head subconsciously.

After all, when a man who had been supposed to be dead for four years showed up out of the blue, no one would believe it. Moreover, Frederick loved Anna so much. He was now a general and was in charge of the Kingstown Security Department. He should have learned of it at once.

“Claire, I have also thought about it. There are only two possibilities. On the one hand, he never doubted what had happened four years ago, and he has always believed that you were the murderer, so he has never investigated it. On the other hand, he knew it all along and even sent people abroad to protect this woman. Just now, I asked him not to marry you, and he agreed very readily, didn’t he?”

“Grandma, are you suspicious?” Claire suddenly understood.

“Claire, everything now is just my suspicion. Do what you have to do. You have almost recovered. Follow Frederick back to the Halfmoon Manor today. But remember to observe the movements of everyone around you and not to miss any details when you go back.”

Elizabeth didn’t say it explicitly, but Claire already realized what she meant.

Claire nodded confidently, but at the thought of 30% of the shares, she said, “Okay. Grandma, don’t worry. But I can’t take 30% of the shares.”

“I know that you are a good child. I never meant to put any pressure on you. I have already claimed that you just have the ownership of the shares. The ownership ends with you. Your children will not inherit the shares. Claire, be obedient. I am doing this to protect you. What’s more, the 30% of the shares you have will eventually return to Harrison. What do you have to worry about?”

Elizabeth persuaded Claire earnestly.

Claire still felt a heavy psychological burden. “But…”

“I have already made up my mind. If you still refuse, I am going to be annoyed by you.”

Elizabeth put her hand over her heart.

“Okay, Grandma. Thank you for what you have done for me. I can never repay you in this life. If there is another life, I will be your granddaughter and take good care of you.”

Claire burst into tears and once again threw herself into Elizabeth’s arms.

Elizabeth stroked her head and said, “Silly girl, you have been taking care of me for twenty years, haven’t you? Well, okay.”

Claire nodded, pivoted around, closed the door, and left.

Elizabeth finally couldn’t hold on any longer. She sat down on the bed and coughed violently several times. She covered her mouth with her hands, and when she took them away, her palms were already stained with blood.

“Madam Prescott, a-are you really not going to tell Ms. Prescott about your illness?”

After Claire walked away, Grace, who was guarding the door, hurried into the room. Seeing Elizabeth coughing up blood, she rushed over.
