Chapter 289 Leslie Is Still Alive
Xander's question completely stumped Samuel.
"I don't know! | couldn't read Isabe's mind," Samuel replied. But as he spoke, his thoughts drifted to the emerald
guardian angel pendant in Isabel's hand. "From what | can tell, Isabel's appearance is almost certainly connected
to that pendant."
Xander had the sthought, and now he was nearly certain.
A few months ago, Isabel had cto his room quietly, late at night, while he was out. She was there to find the
safe.
Later, he opened the safe in front of her, offering her the chance to take whatever she wanted from it.
But that was part of his plan. He wanted to see what Isabel was after.
What he never expected was that Isabel's target would be the pendant.
Why would she want it?
Suddenly, a npopped into Xander's head.
"Leslie!"
"What?" Samuel blinked in confusion. "What's going on? Why are you suddenly mentioning Leslie?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXander furrowed his brow, rubbing his chin, thinking deeply for a couple of seconds before shaking his head. "It's
impossible. She can't be."
Samuel was baffled. "Impossible? What do you mean? Why mention Leslie now?"
What was going on in his brother's mind?
Wait a second!
Samuel's eyes widened in realization. "Wait, are you suggesting that Isabel might be Leslie?"
"She can't be," Xander immediately dismissed the idea.
"Of course not! How could Isabel be Leslie? Leslie would be 26 by now, but Isabel is only 23.
"Besides, Leo did a thorough investigation. Isabel is Colin's daughter. She's a real person.
"She and Leslie are completely different people!"
Samuel was right. Isabel and Leslie were entirely different.
But why would Isabel want the pendant? What was her hidden agenda?
Over the next few days, both Xander and Richie sent people out, searching everywhere for traces of Leslie.
They both believed Leslie was still alive.
Especially Richie. When Isabel had treated him, Richie had begged her to heal him.
Before, he hadn't been so invested. Since Leslie had died, he had wanted to join her. But now, a glimmer of hope
had appeared. He couldn't die at this moment.
What if Leslie was still alive, and he died first? S She would be all alone in
the world, and it would be so lonely for her.
One day, Isabel cto check on Richie again.
"You're doing much better now. Just keep avoiding certain foods, and make sure the windows are open often. Let
sfresh air in," she said as she packed up her silver needles.
After speaking, she noticed Richie hadn't moved at all. She turned to look at him in confusion.
Richie was staring down at the floor, lost in thought. He seemed deep in contemplation.
"What's on your mind?" Isabel asked, puzzled.
