Chapter 1275

“W-what did you inject into me?”

“The same thing Miguel did,” Elliana said softly, almost kindly.

“But mine’s better. It’s clean, harmless, and ensures your obedience.”

Eva’s eyes widened in horror.

“No! I don’t want this! Get it out of me!”

Elliana didn’t respond. She simply smiled faintly, lifted her phone, and tapped the screen once.

Elliana pressed the button, instantly silencing Eva’s cries. The effect was immediate, just as Miguel had gone quiet when his chip was triggered. Eva now stood mute.

A few moments later, Eva rose mechanically and positioned herself before Elliana, awaiting her next instruction. Across the room, Wanda cowered on the floor, terror etched across her face. She scrambled away, pleading desperately, “No, please! I can’t go through with this. I don’t want that chip! I refuse to be someone’s puppet!”

Elliana’s face betrayed no sympathy. Gripping a syringe, she advanced.

“It’s far too late for regrets. You lost your right to choose the moment you created chaos. If you’d just stayed in line, I would have let you off the hook.”

“Ah!” Wanda’s shriek echoed through the room.

Panic flooded Wanda’s veins, granting her a desperate burst of strength. She sprang up and darted toward the exit, hoping to escape.

Elliana didn’t chase her. One sharp glance to the bodyguards was enough; they lunged forward, caught Wanda mid-run, and slammed her to the floor.

Without hesitation, Elliana knelt down, injected the chip, and activated the system.

Within moments, Wanda went still. Like Eva, her will was gone. With the situation under control, Elliana instructed her team to transfer both Eva and Wanda to Delta. There, they and Miguel would be supervised by Clifton.

As soon as Eva and Wanda were removed from the room, Elliana sighed, relief washing over her. Finally, she could redirect her focus toward the search for her mother. Only one lead remained—the Thompson family. To make progress, she needed to break into their inner circle and quietly dig into the secrets of their past.

Gaining the Thompson family’s trust, however, would prove difficult; they were both powerful and shrouded in mystery.

After weighing her options, Elliana resolved to start by compiling every scrap of information about the Thompson family, hoping to find a crack in their defenses.

With the strategy set, Elliana, Cole, and Milton quickly set their intelligence networks in motion, determined to collect details on the Thompson family without drawing attention.

After the arrangements were made, Elliana and Cole returned home. Three days later, Cole made an unexpected breakthrough.
