It was Rachel.

Elisa immediately picked up.

Before Elisa could say a word, Rachel said, "Damn it! I finally got rid of Vincent. He's so annoying! Sticking to me like gum in my hair!"

Elisa stifled a laugh. "You were the one who used his name in the first place."

To be honest, Elisa was perplexed when she heard Rachel's reasons.

She didn't think Rachel would go to such lengths.

"I wanted to make it convincing! I sacrificed myself to trick Linda into meeting with her father! I can't believe how selfless I am being so that father and daughter can reunite! Linda should thank me!"

Elisa couldn't help the laughter bubbling out from her chest. "Don't you think she'll suspect us after everything you did?"


"Huh?" Rachel didn't understand.

Elisa calmly answered, "She's not stupid. You tricked her into coming to the hospital with you and even led her to the wrong ward. You told her about Norman's health issues. She might have been too worried to realize at the moment, but don't you think she might think back and realize we showed her the way?"

"Oh no!" Rachel started to worry. "Did I go too far? We knew her true identity, but she didn't know that we knew. She might do things we could prevent, but now… Both of you are aware of the other. Did… Did I ruin your plans, Elisa?"

Rachel stammered like a child with her hand caught in the cookie jar.

Elisa smiled. "I wouldn't have let all this happen if it would ruin things. Tricking her into going to the hospital was so I could confirm if she truly was Linda."

"Huh?" Rachel was more confused than ever. She gripped the phone tightly. "What do you mean?"

"I didn't want to involve an innocent in this. It would be terrible if I made a mistake and hurt the real Melinda."

"I see!" Rachel let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, then. I thought I made a mistake. But now that she knows, you know… It might not be as easy to deal with her in the future."

"She'll still try to lure me into a trap even after knowing that I know who she is. She'll make even more mistakes and reveal herself even more. It makes things much easier for me." Elisa explained. The light turned green. Elisa switched the phone to speaker mode and put it to the side.

She had deliberately turned the car's Bluetooth off because Linda was around.

"Really? I hope you'll be careful. I'm afraid she'll do something extreme when she knows we're testing her. Oh, that's right. Didn't you say there was someone controlling things behind the scenes? Do you know who it is?"

"I have an idea."

"Huh? Who is it?"
