When Maddox spoke of Diana, the disdain in his eyes was impossible to miss.

Vivienne blinked in confusion. "Wasn't she just six years old at the time? How could she possibly be involved in my mother's disappearance?"

Yuri leaned back into the sofa, his eyebrows knit together in concern. "Don't be fooled by her age. She's cunning. Even as a child, she knew how to compete for Dad's affection, particularly against Sasha. I've seen her glaring at Sasha with such spite. And on the day Sasha vanished, nobody else was at home, just Sasha and Diana. When we returned, Diana was asleep in the garden, clutching one of Sasha's sneakers.

She claimed Sasha had given them to her, but Sasha was ten at the time. How could her shoes possibly fit Diana? I've always suspected Diana saw whoever took Sasha, but she denies it. And why would they abduct Sasha and leave Diana? They were both from the Perez family; taking just one doesn't make sense."

The more Maddox spoke, the tighter his fists clenched. "And then there's Willa. She was practically adopted by our family, about the same age as your mom, and she was supposed to be your future auntie through marriage with me. Everything was fine until she suddenly discovered she was a child of F-Poison. Before she found out, I had no idea.

Diana and Willa were thick as thieves, and I've always suspected that Diana spilled the beans to Willa. But Willa never admitted it and insisted on running away from home. She never even agreed to date me." Vivienne pressed her lips.

Not yet agreed to date Maddox, and Willa was already the future auntie?

But Willa, a child of F-Poison?

"Uncle, I've met F-Poison. It was a woman, quite young, a few years junior to Mr. Wolf. How could she be Auntie Willa's mother?" Vivienne asked, puzzled.
