Chapter 1651:
“It's possible,” Tamara murmured, piecing it together. “Maybe after she met Elwood for the first time, she
mentioned it to Carola, and Carola told her something.”
“Quite possibly,” Nalani replied. Her brows knitted together as worry edged her voice. “What do we do now?
What if Kylee already knows something important?”
Tamara let out a cold laugh. “Even if she does know something, it doesn’t matter,” she said with a dismissive
wave of her hand. “Elwood and Carola? That's dust in the past. Carola’s married now, with a child. Whatever
Carola and Elwood had is long buried—there’s no reviving it in this lifetime. So what if Kylee’'s caught wind of it?
It changes nothing. And in a few days, once Dr. Brooks hypnotizes Elwood, the memory of Carola will be wiped
clean from Elwood’s mind.”
After a moment of quiet reflection, Nalani gave a small nod, the tension in her shoulders easing. “That puts my
mind at ease,” she said.
Downstairs, in the garden, Zaria looked at Tasha, drawing in a deep breath as if steadying herself. Her eyes
locked onto Tasha's, firm with resolve. “I've decided,” she said at last. “I'll go along with what you suggested

Tasha'’s lips curled into a knowing smile the moment Zaria spoke; she'd expected this all along, that Zaria would
cave under the weight of her threats. “Don’t worry, Zaria,” she said.
Smoothly, her voice dripping with assurance, Tasha said, “Your little secret stays locked tight. No one will ever
hear a whisper from me.”
Zaria's brows knitted together in a flicker of doubt as she hesitated, then asked, “But how exactly do you want
Tasha gave a slow nod. “I know that. What | need from you is simple—helpget stalone with Elwood.
And every now and then, slip a kind word in your father’s ear on my behalf. That's all.”
Zaria blinked, surprise flickering across her face. “That's really it?”

“Yeah,” Tasha replied, calm confidence in her tone. “My demands aren't lofty. | understand I have to take things
slow with Elwood; it’s all about patience and taking it one careful step at a time.”
Though she said this, she did not think it was enough. It was only the opening move—showing too much
eagerness now would spoil the game. Besides, if she laid bare her true intentions from the start, Zaria would
never agree to help her.
The key was to win her over first; once Zaria was committed, backing out would be far more difficult for her.
After a long pause, Zaria pressed her
