Hearing this, John was full of confusion. He knew about his cousin Julia; she had been living abroad for years. Even when she occasionally returned, she stayed in hotels. Why did she choose to stay at his house today? However, since they were relatives, John didn't ask too many questions.
Chris Shelby smiled and said, "Auntie, let me show you the guest room!" Suddenly, Chris Shelby pointed to a room and said, "Oh right, Auntie! This is the room where Esther stays!"
Upon hearing this, Julia's eyes gleamed. Seeing this, Esther showed a hint of surprise on her face. That room was actually Juliette's, not hers. Why did Chris Shelby say it was her room? Although puzzled, Esther kept her questions to herself. Chris Shelby must have his reasons for saying so. Esther trusted Chris Shelby unconditionally.
Midnight struck. Everyone was asleep. Suddenly, Julia got up from her bed. She stealthily opened her door and went to Chris Shelby's room. Once inside, Julia looked around cautiously. Soon, she saw someone lying on the bed and smirked cruelly at the sleeping figure. She pulled out a sharp dagger from her pocket and stabbed towards the person on the bed without hesitation.
At that moment, the lights in the room suddenly turned on. Julia was shocked. Before she could react, Chris Shelby sat up from the bed. He looked at Julia with a half-smile and said, "Auntie, why are you in my room so late? And with a dagger in your hand? Were you planning to kill me?"
Realizing she had been tricked, Julia forced a smile and said, "Chris Shelby, I'm sorry, I entered the wrong room. I'll leave now." Turning around to leave, Chris Shelby coldly said, "Auntie, it's too late to leave now."
"What do you mean by that?" Julia asked in shock. Just then, the door opened. Tiger, Harold Jefferson, Esther, and others walked in.
Seeing Esther, Julia smiled and said, "Esther, what are you doing here?" She walked towards Esther but was blocked by Tiger and Harold Jefferson.
Chris Shelby got out of bed and sneered, "I think it's time you reveal your true identity!" Julia panicked and said, "Chris Shelby, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm Auntie Julia!" As she spoke, she moved closer to the window.
Chris Shelby laughed disdainfully and said, "At this point, there's no need to pretend! Who sent you here?" "Chris Shelby, I don't know what you're talking about!" Julia suddenly tried to jump out of the window. But Chris Shelby wouldn't let her escape so easily. In a flash, he blocked her path. Julia broke into a sweat but still turned to Esther and shouted, "Esther, what are you doing? I'm your aunt!"
Esther hesitated; her mind was completely muddled. Was this person really her aunt? If not, why did she look exactly like her aunt? If so, why was she in her husband's room in the middle of the night? Could there really be people who look identical in this world? Unless they were twins! But as far as Esther knew, her aunt didn't have a twin sister.
Esther looked at Chris Shelby and asked: "Dear, could you be mistaken?" "Mistaken?" Chris Shelby sneered again.
Who was Chris Shelby? The mighty Amerosia Primus! He had seen all kinds of disguises and makeup tricks on the battlefield. The person before him was definitely not Esther's aunt! Moreover, he sensed a familiar aura from this Julia-the same aura as the waitress from Appointment Club who tried to assassinate him and Esther.
Chris Shelby chuckled lightly and said: "Mistaken? We'll find out once we capture her!" With that said, he rushed towards Julia.
Seeing him coming at her, Julia's
face changed drastically. She quickly retreated and threw the dagger at Chris Shelby. He dodged swiftly Taking advantage of this opportunity, Julia jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Chris Shelby watched her vanish into the darkness without giving chase. Tiger approached and asked grimly: "Boss, should I send
someone to catch her?" Chris Shelby shook his head: "No! She's just a small fry; let her go. I want to see Who's behind all this."
Hearing this, Tiger didn't say more; he knew Chris Shelby had his reasons.
Watching Julia leave made Esther snap out of it: "Dear, that person really wasn't my aunt?" Chris Shelby asked exasperatedly: "Dear, is your aunt that skilled?"
Esther paused; she knew her aunt was just an ordinary person with no such abilities.
Suddenly,
Esther's phone rang. She saw it was an unknown number.
"Hello?"
When Esther answered the call, an anxious voice came through: "Esther! It's your Aunt Julia! Did you see my phone when we went to Appointment Club today? I lost it somewhere." "You're Aunt Julia!" Esther exclaimed incredulously.
"Auntie," she asked curiously: "Did you lose your phone?"
"Yes! I can't find it anywhere. Never mind if I can't find it; I'm staying at East Coast Hotel now. Let's meet up sometime to discuss our cooperation."
Julia hung up after saying this.
Esther was bewildered as she looked at Chris Shelby: "Dear! My aunt just called saying she lost her phone and is staying at East Coast Hotel. But wasn't that person just now my aunt? How could this be?"
