Chapter 1526

Zaria’s breathing became deep and heavy.

The sensation of enduring threats while having her vulnerabilities mercilessly exploited felt unbearable.

Nevertheless, at this critical juncture, she found herself with no alternative but to give in.

After approximately thirty seconds of internal struggle, Zaria finally said with resignation, “Very well, I shall comply with your demands.”

Tasha’s features immediately brightened with triumphant satisfaction. “You are a smart person. With our combined efforts, this endeavor… will undoubtedly achieve complete success! Pleasure to partner with you.”

She extended her hand purposefully toward Zaria.

Zaria managed a forced smile as she shook hands with Tasha.

“I will leave now.” With that, Tasha turned and left.

Her retreating silhouette radiated unmistakable smugness.

As Tasha’s figure receded into the distance, Zaria’s carefully maintained facade crumbled entirely.

At this moment, she felt utterly despondent.

But now, her most pressing concern was thoroughly investigating the true nature of the relationship between Carola and Elwood.

She had been conducting clandestine research into Elwood’s past. Although many traces had been deliberately erased, she had managed to uncover several significant clues through persistent investigation.

Elwood had previously been romantically involved with someone, and they had seemed deeply in love.

Subsequently, for completely unknown reasons, their relationship had suddenly ended.

Elwood had suffered a devastating car accident shortly thereafter, resulting in significant memory loss.

She harbored strong suspicions that the lost memories specifically related to his romantic relationship with that mysterious woman. What circumstances had compelled Elwood to separate from her? What underlying reasons had driven their break-up?

Furthermore, the convenient memory loss following the car accident appeared highly suspicious.

Among all the possible suspects in this complex web, the person Zaria suspected the most was Tasha.

Tasha had harbored romantic feelings for Elwood for over twenty years and maintained an obsessive fixation on becoming his wife and a member of the Wright family.

Therefore, Tasha likely had knowledge about Elwood and that woman’s relationship.

Zaria even suspected that Elwood’s separation from his beloved might have been related to Tasha.
