Trinity's response leftbewildered. I looked at her suspiciously. "About... me?" "Yes." Her deep gaze scrutinized me.
"What's going on?" From her expression, I could tell that this news aboutcarried sweight.
She withdrew her gaze, not answering my question, but seemed lost in thought.

"It's not that it's difficult to explain. It's just that this... is a bit peculiar." She seemed conflicted, and it was the first tI had seen Trinity hesitate so much.
"Have you not considered whether you want to tellor not before callinghere?" "That's not the case." Trinity gavea sidelong glance. "We were discussing a business deal when we stumbled upon this. Take a look." Trinity finished speaking and hesitantly handedher phone.
"Look closely!" I quickly took the phone, eager to see the screen.
It was a high-definition photo capturing a luxurious garden. A young woman in exotic attire stood behind a wealthy old lady. She had a gentle smile. However, that face leftdumbfounded.
I stared at that face with exquisitely beautiful features. She had arched eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight and regal nose, and full lips. I looked at Trinity, unsettled, and asked, "Where did you get this? Who is the person in the photo?" "It's like two peas in a pod!" Trinity did not answer my question. "If you don't look closely, people may have mistaken her as you. Do you have a twin sister?" I picked up the phone again and scrutinized the photo when she said this. I was baffled as to why there was another me.
"We found it, but..." She looked at me. "She has already entered the Avila family in the Yare!" My head buzzed, and I immediately thought of Lucille.
"The Avila family in Yare?" I was a bit uneasy. Was she part of that family? It seemed to be closely related tosince my mother was an Avila.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"When did this happen?" I asked urgently.
I didn't know much about the Avila family's affairs, just a few remarks from Grayson when investigating Rory and scryptic comments from Rose. I had no idea how the Avilas established themselves. However, a woman with my face complicated things.
"This was just two months ago. Strangely, even our people couldn't trace her origins." Trinity looked at me, her gaze deep. "Chlo, I feel there's something fishy here." I felt nervous and looked back at the screen. "Who is the old lady?" "The Avila family's matriarch, likely your grandmother," Trinity said with certainty, "There is no trace of her. Don't you find it strange?" "I need to understand the family thoroughly from within." My eyes were fixed on the older woman in the photo.
"The Huffmans have many things that can't be disclosed to the outside elworld. That's why my father didn't publicly acknowledge your relationship with my family. However, her appearance in gur business negotiations is quite interesting." "So, you mean someone from your family..." I looked at Trinity, not finishing the sentence, as this was the Huffmans' internal matter.
I didn't want to delve too deep. At the moment, I couldn't determine the origin of this woman.
Trinity wasn't a simpleton. It showed that despite her seemingly rough personality, she had a keen and meticulous side. At this point, even wondered if mentioning Roryto her was saying too much. Moreover, who was this person in the photo, and why did she suddenly appear in the Avila family? This discovery was a significant threat to me.
