Since she couldnât venture out herself, it didnât preclude Nala from enlisting Daniloâs help to accomplish what she desired.
Having meticulously edited a message, she sent it to Danilo, instructing him to make the necessary preparations and be ready for subsequent action, just in case.

Upon Nalaâs departure from the bedroom, Violeta surreptitiously entered her room from the master bedroom Lucinda had confided in Violeta about her intention to collect a sample of Nalaâs hair for a DNA test.

To carry out the task assigned by Lucinda, as the lady of the wealthiest family in Cadiered, Violeta found herself rummaging through the trash can for the first time.
Within the bedroomâs trash can, Violeta found only discarded packaging from snacks Nala had consumed and an empty yogurt box.
The pillow and bed were impeccably arranged, devoid of any stray hairs.
Shifting her focus to the bathroom, Violeta meticulously combed through every inch.
Despite scrutinizing the brimming trash can filled with tissues twice, there was no Nalaâs hair.
The peculiarity of the situation struck Violeta; as a girl with long hair, it seemed implausible for Nala to leave no trace in her bedroom.
This only served to confirm the vigilance of Nala.
The fact that she regularly maintained a clean space, even managing her hair diligently, struck Violeta as somewhat unsettling.
The more Violeta pondered this, the stronger the conviction grew that Nala was anything but ordinary.
Lucindaâs earlier remarks began to resonate as truth in Violetaâs mind.
Despite her efforts, Violeta couldnât get any of Nalaâs hair as she had hoped.
Dejectedly, she lowered her head, lost in contemplation, before fi
nally departing Nalaâs room.
To her astonishment, she ran into Nala returning from the garden.
Violeta stood in momentary shock, gazing at Nalaâs face without an immediate reaction.
Nala surveyed her room and then turned her gaze towards the surprised Violeta.
With a suspicious frown, she asked, âMrs.
Simmons, why are you in my room?â
Faced with the inquiry, Violeta swiftly composed herself.
âI had intended to have a conversation with you.
But upon knocking and finding the room empty, I decided to get out.
Your return took me by surprise; itâs quite a coincidence.
â
Her smile exuded calm elegance, erasing any trace of surprise that had crossed her features a moment ago.
Nala observed her expression.
âWhat did you wish to discuss, Mrs.
Simmons? Iâm here now.
We can talk.
â
âI simply wanted to inquire about your plans.
Graham has been bedridden these past days due to illness, thus sparing him from enduring the punishment at the ancestral temple.
However, heâll have to endure it once he recovers in a few days.
Iâm really worried about him.
I canât bear to see him suffer again.
â Violeta frowned.
Nala empathized with her.
âMrs.
Simmons, please donât worry.
Iâve been making preparations for our plan.
Itâs just a matter of a few days.
â
Violeta breathed a sigh of relief.
âThatâs reassuring.
â
With a nod, Nala moved past her toward the room.
Yet as she passed, Violeta gently caught her wrist.
Violeta extended a warm invitation, saying, âWith the weather being hot lately and my hair feeling cumbersome due to its length, Iâve been thinking of getting it done.
Would you care to join me, Miss Diaz?â
âDo your hair?â
