His fingers stalled on the keyboard, momentarily at a loss for words. Fitch’s fingertips paused on the
address bar, “But some aspects of Maja’s past seem off, not matching her own memories. And
according to the neighbors, she and Lillian would often leave the house when her stepfather, Neil, was
busy at work and couldn’t attend to family matters. I suspect that parts of Maja’s childhood memories
have been altered or perhaps there’s a year or two missing that she herself hasn’t realized.” This could
explain why Maja never sensed anything amiss about Lillian. Whenever Maja thought of her, the most
vivid memory was of Lillian’s protection and love, but the finer details eluded her. She couldn’t recall
how exactly she interacted with her grandparents, only that they disapproved of her because she was a
granddaughter. Nor could she remember how her uncle had supported her mother, only a vague

cold. “Fitch?” called Ian. “Yeah?” “I’m certain that Maja is the lost daughter of the Sanders family, and
Lillian is indeed her biological mother, not adoptive. That lunatic has seen Lillian’s face, although it was
a complex situation with too many people involved. I couldn’t dig deeper. The lunatic only got a
glimpse, but if you show Maja a photo of Arlene, she’ll realize she’s the spitting image of Lillian.
Moreover, a paternity test with Augus wouldn’t hurt.” Breathing a sigh of relief after laying out his
findings, Fitch loosened his tie. God knows how hard it was to unearth these clues, filtering through
hundreds of thousands of records just to find that mental institution alone. Thankfully, his team excelled
at data analysis. Ian was wearing headphones, and so was Beck, seated behind him. Both headsets
allowed them to hear Fitch’s voice. Beck had been stunned into silence from the start, and by the end,
it felt like a lightning bolt had struck his brain. The affection he felt for Maja now made sense. Maja was
his biological sister! But Dylan was out there, endangering his own sister over an impostor. How

bitterly ironic was that? Beck was burning up with urgency, almost wishing he could leap from the
helicopter to stop Dylan from making any more mistakes. His skin was feverish with sweat. Ian,
however, remained composed, still listening to Fitch’s words through the headset. “There’s something
fishy about Phelps. He had contacted Jolin before and must have known early on that Maja was the
Sanders family’s daughter. The fact that Augus asked him to investigate in Greenfield was a misguided
request. Phelps has been concealing the truth, and even stirred up trouble with Maja’s oddball parents.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat’s all his doing. Ian, this is all I’ve managed to find out. Lately, I’ve been tailed, not sure if it’s by
higher-ups or Phelps’s people. We’ll talk later.” “Thanks for your hard work, Fitch.” After hanging up,
Fitch rubbed his temples. He hadn’t slept in days, his team working tirelessly through the night on those
records. Now, at last, he could get some rest. Checking his phone, he saw several missed calls from
Zoey. His brow furrowed instantly. Did she think that sleeping together a few times made her special to
him? A flicker of disgust crossed his eyes as he promptly blocked the number. He should keep her at a
distance for a while longer, to avoid any further pretense of playing the role of his wife. Though he was
partly to blame for their entanglement, Zoey had been fully aware, yet had played along. It had started
with her climbing into his bed, then exploiting his amnesia to leave her mark. She must have forgotten
her place. How could he ever be attracted to a woman of her standing? If he were to marry, it would
only be to someone of equal social standing.
