Chapter 1027:
After their car vanished down the winding road, a shadowy figure in a dark windbreaker stepped out from behind a cluster of trees, a matching cap and face mask completely hiding his identity. He was none other than Carlos.
He stood perfectly still, staring at the empty spot where their car had been, his eyes sharp and calculating.
Meanwhile, already on his drive back, Davin initiated a video call to Maxine in his car. “Ms. Griffiths, I have several crucial updates,” he began, his voice all business. “First, the Medical Codex is now back in Elliana’s possession. Second, Sophie is actually Cole’s biological mother. And third p>
“Hold on,” Maxine interrupted, her voice vibrating with excitement. “Did you just say that Sophie is Cole’s mother p>
Before Davin could get a word out, Maxine burst into laughter. “Well, what a turn of fate. Cole’s mother is Sophie, Elliana’s is Rita, and now Cole and Elliana ended up together! Their future daughter—that’s the one I’ve been dreaming of! Imagine the genes! That child would be flawless p>
To Maxine, Cole and Elliana were exceptional. If their brilliant daughter led the Griffiths family, the Griffiths would be unstoppable.
The thought sent another wave of glee through her, and she laughed heartily for a long moment. But just as quickly, the laughter died in her throat, replaced by a sigh. “But there’s a catch. Sophie carries the Psychephrenia gene. Cole’s bound to have it too. If Elliana and Cole have a child, that perfect picture might not be so perfect after all p>
Davin chimed in, “Actually, Elliana has already cured Cole’s Psychephrenia p>
Maxine’s eyes flew wide. “She cured it? You mean she erased the gene? Are you sure about that p>
Davin nodded. “Elliana told me herself p>

“Ha-ha…” A triumphant laugh erupted from Maxine, louder than before. “Incredible! I always knew Elliana was the right choice. She’s gone beyond anything I ever managed—she’s even outdone Rita by wiping out Psychephrenia! Now there’s no doubt. I want Cole and Elliana’s daughter to inherit the Griffiths family empire. That little girl is the future of the Griffiths p>
Maxine’s lips curled into a wolfish grin. The idea of seizing Elliana and Cole’s daughter and molding her as the Griffiths heiress felt like the crowning achievement of her existence.
Davin shifted uncomfortably. “But there’s something you’re overlooking. Elliana is Arthur’s child. She has Campbell blood p>
Maxine flicked her fingers, utterly unconcerned. “That’s a minor detail. The Griffiths are destined to wipe out the Campbells. And to have an heiress with Campbell blood deliver the final blow? There’s nothing sweeter than that kind of poetic revenge p>
Davin knew better than to challenge her further. Maxine’s logic had grown increasingly twisted. “There’s something else, Ms. Griffiths. When I met with Elliana, I sensed someone watching us—someone hidden, keeping tabs p>
Maxine’s eyes narrowed and her voice sharpened. “It’s Miguel. Who else would dare? That snake defected years back, and he’s surely built his own little kingdom. I know his goal—kill me, destroy the Griffiths, and turn the Serpent Society into his own playground. Of course he’s got eyes on our every move p>
