?Chapter 569:


    Jeff sent the photo along with a note that read, “Take a look, everyone. Cole’s been divorced for three days, and here he is at Regal Grove, trying to get Elliana back. She turned him away, and now he’s leaving with nothing to show for it.”


    The group chat exploded with replies.


    “Goodness gracious! Who would’ve thought the decisive and clever Cole would end up dejected like this!”


    “What on earth did Elliana do to him? He’s head over heels for her. Dumped and still crawling back for more.”


    “Honestly, what can we do to help Cole out of this mess?”


    “I’ve looked up to Cole my whole life! Can anyone exin why the person I admired so much suddenly became like this?”


    Elliana had no idea that the younger members of the Evans family had changed their stance. Where they once ridiculed her for being the one Cole couldn’t stand, they were now turning their scorn on Cole for lowering himself in hopes of winning her back.


    Once Elliana arrived back at Regal Grove, she wasted no time heading straight to theb, where she began running tests on Cole’s blood samples.


    Before Elliana moved in, Regal Grove had never seen the inside of aboratory. Whenever she needed to run medical experiments, sneaking off to the Ublento Hotel had be routine. Up on the Ublento Hotel’s top floor, Matthew had gone out of his way to set up a privateb just for her use.


    Things changed once Elliana took ownership of Regal Grove. She wasted no time having ab built there, determined to make headway with her Psychephrenia research.


    Her mother, Rita, had once kept a homeboratory as well, often disappearing into her work for hours. Growing up surrounded by vials and microscopes, Elliana had naturally followed her example.


    When Lance and Jeff arrived back at Regal Grove, their first instinct was to hunt for Elliana. Clifton, however, blocked their path at theb entrance, leaving them to cool their heels in the living room.


    Inside, theb felt almost silent. Methodically, Elliana extracted DNA from Cole’s blood, running every analysis she could and matching the results to Alice’s gic records.


    The oue left no doubt. Alice truly was Cole’s mother. Elliana’s suspicions had been spot on. The patient who had closely coborated with Rita in the Psychephrenia studies turned out to be Cole’s mother.

    Questions surfaced in Elliana’s mind one after another. What kind of bond had existed between Rita and Sophie? Why had both women vanished from Ublento in the same year, with only a one-week gap? Where could they be now?


    After confirming the link between Alice and Cole, Elliana felt she had to share what she’d found out with Cole. Working together seemed like the only sensible path, given how closely their mothers’ lives had once intertwined.


    With this in mind, she reached for her phone and sent out a message to Cole, saying, “I want to talk to you about your mother.”


    Cole’s response came immediately. “Of course. When and where?”
