Chapter 744
Chapter 743:
Until now, Cole had been completely in the dark about Arthur and Eva’s past, let alone that the true Campbell heiress was still out there. His engagement to Wanda had never been a choice. It was forced.
But everything changed when Eva revealed that Arthur was searching for his biological daughter. That meant one thing—his engagement to Wanda was no longer binding. His true duty was to marry the real Campbell heiress, the very woman his mother had always intended for him.
Cole wasn’t just pleased. He was relieved. The thought of Wanda, conniving and cold-hearted, made his stomach churn. Now, he finally had a reason—one he could stand on—to end things with her. It couldn’t have worked out better. Arthur was known to be a striking man, dignified and proud. And by Eva’s account, his partner back then had been a beauty beyond words. With parents like that, their daughter was sure to be extraordinary.
Cole felt an odd pull toward their daughter. A strange curiosity gripped him, as if some unseen force was already drawing them together. Could she be the one?
His real fiancée? The one fate had always meant for him?
“Cole, why aren’t you saying anything?” Eva asked, watching him closely. “I can help you find them p>
Cole replied, lifting his gaze with a calm, unreadable look.
Eva’s face lit up. “I knew you wouldn’t say no! My whole future depends on you!” She paused and then leaned in with a teasing smile. “I can tell how much you like Wanda. Don’t worry—I’ll make sure she becomes your wife!” A faint smile tugged at Cole’s lips, but he said nothing.
Not wanting to wake Ruben, Eva kept her visit short. After a few more words, she rose and quietly slipped out.
She had no idea that fate, with its twisted sense of humor, was quietly undoing everything she’d worked for. After all the schemes she and Wanda had used to push Elliana out of Cole’s life, she was now—without knowing it—pulling Elliana right back in.

Two weeks later, the new semester began at Ublento Medical University.
At Rosewood Villa, Elliana sat in the dining room, enjoying a rich breakfast Heather had prepared while listening to Adah’s update.
The garish makeup was gone for good, revealing the natural beauty Elliana had long hidden. Her smooth hair now flowed down her back, free and elegant. In Ublento, the name “Elliana” had disappeared. There was no longer any need to pretend to be plain or foolish.
Adah placed a folder on the table beside Elliana. “These are your new identity documents,” she said. “Make sure you’ve memorized everything before you show up at Ublento Medical University p>
Elliana picked up the folder, skimmed through it, and then placed it back down. She was now Lilah Briggs—an exchange student, the daughter of a mysterious tycoon from overseas.
On top of that, Rosewood Villa was a temporary residence, a gift from her “tycoon father.” The Four Guardians, having transformed their appearance, were her bodyguards and household staff—another arrangement courtesy of her “father.” Adah, having dropped her former disguise as a naive bumpkin, was appointed by her “father” to stay by her side during her studies.
The entire charade was almost flawless. And the identity of the elusive “tycoon father?” A closely guarded secret. No one needed to know who she really was. All that mattered was that she held power.
