Chapter 639

Natalie Castillo finished speaking.

The room plunged into a sudden, heavy silence.

She blinked, her tone light and airy.

"You, Evelyn Ross. Your mother was a loser from the previous round."

"You're not even on the competitor list for this round."

"So, the Rabbit is already out of the game~~"

Evelyn, upon hearing this, gave a soft laugh.

"Who said the Rabbit is dead?"

Natalie pouted.

"Your sister clearly was..."

"Do you have proof?"

Evelyn interrupted her, her voice calm.

"We're twins. The DNA test results are identical."

"I am her, and she is me."

Natalie was taken aback, seemingly choked by this statement.

She pursed her lips, feigning annoyance.

"You... you're being unreasonable!"

Evelyn spread her hands.

"Do you have any other evidence then?"

"Memories from before age five? Many children forget after a serious illness."

"Identity? Everyone's identity is hidden."

"Natalie Castillo, you have another identity too, don't you?"

Marcus Valentine was once collectively deceived by a medical organization, diagnosed with azoospermia.

Natalie is also skilled at creating drugs within the Castillo family, like the Seven-Day Powder.

She definitely has a complicated background as well.

Sure enough, Natalie was left speechless.

Evelyn sneered.

"So, how can you prove the Rabbit is dead?"

Natalie glared at her, cheeks puffed with anger.

"You...!"

She turned her head away with a huff.

"Fine. Even if you are the Rabbit."

"Are you really that confident you can beat me?"

She picked up the water glass from the table and took a small sip.

"Throughout the entire competition in the country, our tasks have always overlapped."

"Unite the five major families. Control the Special Operations Division. Then establish a connection with the Castillo family."

"There's one final task not yet announced."

"But do you really think your relationship with the five families is that solid?"

Natalie picked up another pastry, eating it slowly.

"Besides me, you have seven other opponents."

"Will those seven just sit back and watch us ally with the strongest forces in the country?"

Evelyn's brow furrowed slightly.

Natalie's eyes lit up, and she proposed.

"How about we make a bet!"

Evelyn looked at her cunning expression warily.

"What kind of bet?"

"Grandfather will be in a difficult position once he knows the truth."

"From a blood relation perspective, I'm closer to him than you are."

"You're a granddaughter through the maternal line. I'm a direct granddaughter..."

"But whatever. Grandfather has a soft spot for your grandmother. That's a point in your favor..."

Evelyn scoffed.

"The Sterling Family is a matrilineal clan."

"Is it possible that my grandmother gave birth to my mother, and my mother gave birth to me?"

"That lineage is more legitimate than your granddaughter's bloodline?"

Natalie was stumped again. She pouted.

"You really never take a loss, do you? Too clever by half!"

"Fine, I'll be direct."

"The Special Operations Division. Neither of us has secured it yet, right?"

"How about we compete to see who can win over the Special Operations Division first?"

"The loser submits to the winner. How about it?"

Evelyn raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure?"

She is currently the First Senior Sister of the Cortez Sect. Securing the Special Operations Division would be effortless for her.

But Natalie smiled.

"I'm sure. However, you and Grace are good friends, right?"

"What Grace's grandfather did is no small matter~"

"Are you sure you can protect him?"

She reached for another pastry, speaking while eating.

"If you can't protect him, are you planning to kick him out of the Special Operations Division?"

"Or what will you do?"

"Evelyn Ross, you were never the Rabbit. You didn't receive the Sterling Family's training."

"Do you know why we all lived with the Sterling Family before age five?"

"Because the Sterling Family was teaching us our first lesson—to be cold-hearted and unfeeling."

She chewed her food, her voice slightly muffled.

"But you... take friendship too seriously."

After saying this, she waved to the butler.

"Butler, bring another plate of almond cookies~"

The butler immediately responded with a smile.

"Right away, Miss Castillo!"

Natalie was as comfortable in the Ross house as if it were her own home.

Evelyn watched her casual demeanor and couldn't help but ask.

"What exactly did Grace's grandfather do?"

Natalie looked at her and stated directly.

"Espionage~"

"It's the most intolerable of all crimes."

"So, are you going to cut all ties with the Lorenz family now?"

"Abandon them, cozy up to Deputy Director Wright, and you might still have a chance to beat me~ Hehe."

Evelyn fell silent.

Her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it. It was Grace.

She answered immediately.

Grace's voice came through, choked with sobs and trembling.

"Evelyn, my grandfather's charges have been finalized!"

"He... he's been charged with espionage!"

She was crying uncontrollably.

"This charge will affect his descendants..."

"The Special Operations Division is holding a meeting to discuss expelling me and my grandfather..."

"Deputy Director Wright wants to invite the First Senior Sister of the Cortez Sect to attend and discuss the matter."
