Aurelia settled back into her cozy spot on the plush sofa, taking a sip of her coconut water.
Frankly, she didn't want to believe that the man before her, Raines, could be an impostor. She knew all too well how ruthless Geoffrey could be.
If this Raines was a fake, then the real Raines was likely in grave danger, his life hanging by a thread.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was Leopold's fear, too. He was deeply concerned for Raines' safety and needed to confirm whether this Raines was genuine.
Since Geoffrey was also a member of the Stirling family, a genetic test would indicate a familial connection, so DNA comparison didn't make a difference.
The only way to be certain was a paternity test with his birth mother, Elfreda. So they had to bring Elfreda to Elysium.
After peeling a lychee, Beverley smiled faintly and asked, “Lisbeth, what kind of wedding do you dream of? A traditional one or what?” No joy of a bride-to-be can be seen in Lisbeth’s face. Perhaps she was rattled by the tarot reading from earlier that morning.
“l don't mind either way,” she replied indifferently.
Aurelia gave her a meaningful look and sighed softly. “Raines and his twin brother Geoffrey were separated at birth but they're identical twins, just like my boys, Kane and Liam. | read a story recently about two men who looked alike and secretly switched lives, and their wives had no clue. Can identical twins really be that hard to tell apart?” As the mother of identical twins herself, Aurelia felt a pang of empathy. If Kane and Liam tried to imitate each other, she also found it tough to tell them apart.
Sheryl chimed in, “I think even if they look alike, their habits are likely quite different. If someone knows them well enough, they should be able to tell them apart.” “If my husband were replaced, I'd definitely notice,” Beverley asserted. “There are no two identical leaves in this world, nor are there two completely identical people, even if they resemble each other.” Aurelia agreed with that sentiment.
As Raines' personal assistant, Lisbeth spent all day with him and should know him better than anyone, except perhaps Elfreda.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf someone had swapped Raines, she couldn't be oblivious. Unless, of course, she had been threatened.
But if that were the case, why bring her back to the country at all? That would just be asking for trouble.
Aurelia stole a glance at Lisbeth, who was sipping her coconut water, shrouding her face in shadow, with an unreadable expression.
Sheryl broke the silence again. “It remindsof an old Hollywood movie called The Man in the Iron Mask. It's about King Louis plotting to seize the throne, locking up his twin brother Philippe with an iron mask, and masquerading as him to becthe emperor. In the old days, royal twins were considered bad omens due to the risk of impersonation.” Looking at Aurelia, she added, “If Liam were still with us, looking just like Kane, there might have been a fight for inheritance. Both as legitimate sons, just because one was born a few minutes later, he'd lose his place as the heir. That would leave anyone feeling shortchanged.” Aurelia choked up a bit. She believed her sons would never turn on each other, because they were close.
Besides, she planned to leave her estate to William, so they wouldn't feel any disadvantage.

“Not all princes are ambitious and covet the crown. Sprefer a life of solitude as a hermit. Take Skyler, for instance. He was the eldest and the natural heir, but he chose a carefree life, allowing his younger brother to take up the mantle.”
