Deep down, Timothy couldn’t shake off his suspicions about Monalize.


    She bore an uncanny resemnce to Mia, with a mysterious background and a personality entirely


    distinct from Mia''s.


    Clearing his throat, Caleb spoke up, "Tim, you''re thinking she might be Mia, right? Frankly, I had my


    doubts too when she agreed to supply you with reishi mushrooms without asking for anything in return.


    "Despite any animosity Mia might have toward you, she shares a strong bond with Mrs. Barrett Senior.


    Mia certainly wouldn''t stand by if anything were to happen to her."


    Timothy pursed his lips. He didn''t dismiss Caleb''s observations. He, too, found the situation perplexing.

    If Monalize was indeed Mia, then everything would start to fall into ce.


    Caleb smirked knowingly. "Ah, so that''s why a certain someone readily agreed to the condition of


    dating. It seems he had his suspicions from the start."


    Timothy maintained hisposure, hands tucked casually into his pockets. "You talk too much."


    Caleb''s expression shifted as he nced at his phone, raising an eyebrow." Speak of the devil. The


    investigation results just came in."


    Timothy turned his gaze to Caleb. "Let''s hear it."


    In reality, beneath Timothy''s calm exterior, his emotions were far from tranquil.


    With a grin, Caleb began to read from his phone. "ording to the investigation, Ms. Langford hails


    from Nord City. She''s the heiress of the Mendes family, known for their dominance in the electrical


    industry in Nord City.


    "There''s a rumor that she had health issues as a child, so she didn''t often appear in public, and there


    isn''t much information about her.


    "However, based on the details obtained from the ticket purchase, this is what the investigation has


    uncovered."


    After rying the information, Caleb let out a soft sigh.


    Timothy arched an eyebrow. "Judging by her appearance, does she seem like someone who has poor


    health?"


    Caleb hesitated briefly before responding, "Honestly, no. But it''s usible that after recovering, she


    adopted a more carefree lifestyle."


    Upon hearing this, Timothy looked out at the night sky and asked calmly," Is there any familial


    rtionship between the Mendes family and the Lane family?"


    If there was no family tie, why would the youngdy from the Mendes family bear such a resemnce


    to Mia?


    "We''ll need to conduct further investigations to determine that. Currently, there''s no evidence


    suggesting any direct familial connection between the Mendes family and the Lane family.


    "However, it''s not unheard of forrge families to have had intermarriages in the past. But if that''s the


    case, wouldn''t it mean that Monalize isn''t Mia?"


    As Caleb spoke, his voice dropped to a hushed tone.


    Throughout their journey, Caleb couldn''t help but notice Timothy’s curiosity about Monalize. Just by her


    appearance alone, Caleb couldn''t shake the feeling that she might be a reincarnation of Mia.


    This time, when Laura''s condition worsened, Monalize, who had initially been firm about not selling the


    reishi mushrooms, surprisingly had a change of heart and decided to give them up. She even made the


    trip to Bern City.


    Caleb began to suspect that Monalize might indeed be Mia, after all.


    However, the investigation results indicated otherwise.


    It was a dramatic turn of events, where one door closed and another opened.


    Timothy''s once gentle expression vanished, reced by a stoic facade that concealed any hint of


    emotion. He firmly instructed, "Carry on with the investigation."


    Timothy couldn''t shake the lingering feeling that he had missed an important detail, but he couldn''t


    quite identify what it was.


    Pressing on, he instructed, "Have someone keep an eye on Aunt Patricia. If Monalize truly is Mia, she’ll


    inevitably return to visit her."


    Timothy couldn''t fathom Mia enduring so many years without visiting Patricia, who had yed a


    significant role in her upbringing.


    Caleb nodded in agreement, choosing not to say anything more. After all, it was too early to jump to


    conclusions.


    Simr to before, both he and Timothy detected a discrepancy in Monalize''s story. However, the


    evidence from her flight ticket purchase contradicted any link to Mia.
