Yalena snapped over the phone , “ You worthless piece of shit . Not only did you fail to kill Teresa and her son , but you almost blew our cover . Forget about that 6 million – you’re not getting a single cent . ”
The man said , “ We are not in Mianara , so we couldn’t act directly . They switched the targets in the car , so there was nothing we could do . Here’s the deal : 2 million as a cleanup fee .
“ We need to wipe all traces of the accident clean . ”
Yalena refused . She said , “ No way . You botched the job and still have the nerve to ask me for money ? ”
The man erupted in fury , threatening , “ No payment ? Then it’s scorched earth . Your fake heiress identity will be exposed to the world – nobody’s getting out of this unharmed . ”
In the end , Yalena agreed to pay 2 million . After hanging up , she thought , ‘ Damn it . Not only did Teresa survive , but now I have to shell out 2 million . Just my luck . ‘
Moments later , her phone rang again – the same caller . Still annoyed , Yalena picked up .
The man said , “ Our guys followed the ambulance to the hospital . Turns out tonight’s crash victim was a pregnant woman -Teresa’s sister . She lost the baby . ”

Yalena snarled , “ I don’t care if she’s Teresa’s sister or not . I want Teresa and her son dead . This plan failed and almost blew our cover . Clean up the scene first . Next time , make sure we run over that mother and son . ”
With that , she hung up the phone .
She thought , ‘ Since I’m marrying Jonathan , Teresa must be eliminated – otherwise , she’ll always be a ticking time bomb .
And that little brat ? He has to go , too .’
Suddenly , a sharp rap at the door startled Yalena from her dark thoughts . She yanked the door open impatiently but immediately pasted on a sweet smile at the sight of Katrina holding a tray of food .
Yalena asked , “ Mom , has Mrs. Lynn left already ? ”
Katrina replied , “ She’s gone . Who were you on the phone with? You look a bit pale . What’s wrong ? ”
Yalena touched her cheek and said , “ It’s nothing . Just a bit worn out from work today . I’ll be fine after a little rest . ”
Katrina said , “ If you’re hungry , go ahead and eat something . I have the kitchen prepare your favorites just for you . ”
“ Thanks , Mom , ” Yalena said . Just as she was about to lean in for a kiss on Katrina’s cheek , Katrina recoiled .
To cover her embarrassment , Katrina forced a faint smile and said , “ I’m wearing heavy makeup , dear . I don’t want to stain your lips . I’ll let you rest now . ” With that , she stepped out of the room .
Yatena’s eyes darkened . She pondered , ‘ That wretched old woman . Has she finally figured out I’m a fake ? Even if she has , the real Yalena is long gone .’
Just as Eason stepped out of the study , he saw Katrina in their bedroom , holding an old photo of herself and Yalena , her

eyes glistening with unshed tears as she gazed at it . He placed his hand on her shoulder to comfort her .
In the photo , a radiant young Yalena had her arms wrapped around Katrina’s neck , flashing a peace sign , her smile pure
and innocent .
Katrina gently caressed Yalena’s face in the photo , a soft sigh escaping her lips .
She looked up at Eason , who was resting a hand on her shoulder , and said , “ Maybe I’m just too tired , but whenever I’m with Yalena these days , it just doesn’t feel real . ”
Eason said , “ Let go of the branch business for now and let Yalena take over . I was already planning to gradually hand the company over to her after she marries Jonathan . ”
Katrina was silent for a long moment before she finally nodded . She thought , ‘ Yalena is our only daughter . There is nothing wrong with handing the company over to her . ‘
Jonathan was just about to head out of the office when Irene suddenly showed up .
Irene walked in with some freshly made snacks . She said , “ I just dropped by the Kellys ‘ for coffee , and Yalena’s mom insisted I bring these snacks back for you to try .”
Jonathan frowned and said , “ I’m in a hurry . I need to go . “
