Chapter 600



Taking a deep breath, Saniya said, “You might have screwed Griffin’s life, but taking Anna’s place? Stop joking around. She and Griffin are Ernesto’s children.”

Kallie placed a comforting hand on Saniya’s shoulder. “Do you trust me?” she asked.

Saniya pressed her lips together, offering no reply to Kallie.

Kallie kept trying to convince Saniya. “It’s alright if you don’t believe me. You can dismiss what I said. But it’s clear Anna and I will never get along.”

News of White’s death in the dungeon became common knowledge the next day.

While Ernesto and Griffin suspected Kallie of being the murderer, the autopsy revealed White had succumbed to an infection from a wound inflicted earlier that day. Kallie was not involved.

Meanwhile, Anna became extremely disturbed, wreaking havoc for days by smashing objects and lashing out at others.

The building where Anna resided seemed to become quite lively.

Ernesto, realizing something was amiss, discovered Anna had a mental health history. His concern for his reputation outweighed all else, and he was incensed, eager to distance himself from Anna.

Yet, for reasons unknown, Anna made a swift recovery overnight, and her relationship with both Ernesto and Griffin saw remarkable improvement.

Kallie noted all these developments with a keen understanding. Anna likely informed Ernesto the illness was manageable and would not pose any issues. Moreover, Anna seemed to have acquiesced to an extreme request from Ernesto.

Ernesto had gone to considerable lengths to bring Anna back, not with the expectation that she would care for him in his later years. The banquet soon arrived.

The event was attended by many wealthy individuals, including at least several hundred people. Among them, each was a billionaire CEO, and some were even nobles from royal lineages.

Ernesto, moving through the crowd in his wheelchair, had his aged, wrinkled face contorted into a series of smiles that appeared rather sinister.

On this particular day, Kallie realized the grim reality of why she and her unborn children had been selected and confined. She finally understood the reasons behind the wealthy elite’s willingness to conspire with Ernesto.

It turned out Ernesto had invested years ago in a clandestine lab known for conducting experiments on human beings.

Three years prior, this lab had pioneered a disturbing technology, akin to performing a brain transplant by transferring one individual’s brain waves into another’s. The individual replaced would inevitably perish.

gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s․𝒸оm hosts thrilling adventures Griffin, as it turned out, was not Anna’s younger brother but her elder.

Griffin possessed the body of an innocent boy who had been chosen for this fate.

Griffin was nearly forty, explaining why Kallie occasionally found his actions and mannerisms peculiar. The children Kallie was carrying were central to Ernesto’s plans for brain replacement.

The revelation sparked excitement among the wealthy attendees, all of whom possessed vast fortunes but no promise of eternal life. Faced with such a groundbreaking experiment, they saw no reason to decline.

Numerous affluent guests approached Ernesto to undergo the procedure. About half of these operations proved successful.

Despite the moderate success rate and inherent risks, the allure of potential rejuvenation was irresistible.

How did Kallie come to understand all this? At that moment, Anna was before her, disclosing every detail.

Anna watched Kallie’s face lose color and smirked. “You don’t seem very brave. One day, your children will carry on my father’s legacy, which should be an honor for you. Do you understand?”

Kallie was stunned. It took her a while, but she finally managed to ask, “Why was I chosen?”
