NovelEnglishKane said, “What | mean is, he’s my twin brother, Liam. Everyone thought he was dead, but he’s alive, living all this time with Mom and Uncle Arnold.” Aurelia was stunned. She had assumed Kane, being so young, wouldn't have grasped the full picture. But his insights were far sharper than she had anticipated.
“Kane...” For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
Kane continued, “When | saw William, | knew right away he was my twin because we look exactly alike, and only identical twins can be that similar. He must've realized it too, but he didn’t want to admit it. He wanted to be Uncle Arnold's son, not Dad's.” Aurelia felt her heart churn like a stormy sea.
Did William know too? Yet, he had never asked her, never mentioned a thing.

He can play outside freely, not like me, always in danger if | step outside.” Aurelia’s heart twisted in pain. Kane's words piercing her like needles.
“I promise soon you'll be free to go out and play just like William.” When Leopold returned, Kane was already curled up in Aurelia’'s arms, sleeping peacefully.
She kissed Kane's cheek and tucked him in before tiptoeing out of the room.
“I can't just sit around and do nothing anymore. Kane deserves a normal life.” If her hunch was correct, this whole situation had Megan's fingerprints all over it. The person most likely to harm Kane was Megan.
Leopold wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Once the superbug in her system was fully eradicated, he would no longer be restrained. He could then confront AK Group head-on.
“Don't do anything rash. Soon, I'll settle things with AK Group once and for all, wipe them out completely.” Aurelia gave him a hollow look. Even though he truly despised Megan now, it wasn’t certain he could be ruthless with her.
This was something she had to do herself.
“I'm tired, and it's late. Let's get some sleep.” She turned and went to her room, not wanting to speak another word.
Leopold, sensing her mood, heaved a silent sigh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next day, Aurelia took William to Skyler's mansion.
“Let's watch some TV together.” She deliberately picked a TV show.
“That cult leader is pretty cunning, using poison to control his followers. Skyler, you're a PhD in pharmacology, so can you tell me that such a poison could actually be created? One that requires an antidote every month, where missing a dose would be fatal?” Skyler stroked his chin and gave a secretive smile, “Angel, you've come to the right person. | can make such a poison. Based on Geoffrey's research, which I've secretly improved upon, my concoction won't kill, but it'll make living feel worse than death.” Aurelia’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. This was exactly the kind of thing she needed.
“Skyler, can you whip up a batch for me? Tell me what you need, and I'll have people scour the black market for it.” “Sure thing,” Skyler nodded without hesitation. He would do anything Aurelia asked of him.
Aurelia smiled, a sly and cunning glint in her eyes.
She had said it before - whoever dared to harm Kane would not get off scot-free.
To protect Kane, she was prepared to pay any price, even if it meant going down with her enemies.
