“S-She is…”
Kaitlyn locked eyes with Renee, her gaze revealing an indescribable mix of pain and distress.
“Mom, don’t be afraid.” Renee rushed to embrace her mother, feeling the familiar softness of Kaitlyn’s hand.
But then Renee pulled back, studying Kaitlyn. There was no change—even the white hair by her temples remained
the same.
“Renee, you are in danger. Run, quickly!”
“Mom?”
Kaitlyn’s smile remained, but her eyes turned frigid as if she had transformed into someone else. She stared at
Renee with a sinister grin, her voice chilling. “Renee, what’s the matter?”
Renee let go suddenly, retreating several steps.
“Talk!” Kaitlyn closed in slowly. “So, did you follow me to find this place?”

hadn’t taken your medicine today, so I thought…”
Kaitlyn’s lips twitched briefly before she resumed her smile. “Ah, I understand.”
“Mom, when did you get this house? How come I didn’t know about it?”
“Your useless father handed it over!” Kaitlyn’s tone was nonchalant.
Renee jolted, eyes widening. It took a moment for the realization to sink in.
“D-Dad… You’re in touch with him?”
“You naive child, we’re your parents. If not him, then who?” Kaitlyn’s smile was eerie. “He transferred this old shack
to my name while you were pretending to be Pamela Thompson. He wanted to silence me… Heh! That sly old fox
tricked me! No one would take this place even if they were paid!”
Renee stepped back, her back against the wall. A shiver crawled up her skin, and her blood ran cold.
Kaitlyn turned to look at Renee. “Your birthday is in two days. What kind of birthday present do you want?”
Renee could not catch her breath.
In spite of it, Kaitlyn was right—her birthday was approaching soon. Apart from her biological mother, who else
would remember her birthday so clearly?
Renee was confused about her mother’s situation. Right now, she just wanted to cry.
Suddenly, Kaitlyn’s phone rang. She picked up, and Renee heard the voice from the receiver in the quiet room.
The voice on the other side said, “Kaitlyn, your explanation wasn’t clear the last time. Apart from dealing with Lena,
who else needs close watching? Is there any other task we don’t know about?”
“Foolish idiots!” Kaitlyn shouted into the phone, “Didn’t I give you the address?!”
“Kaitlyn, are you certain? That address leads to an empty house! Also, you visit it occasionally, but no one else is
there. Who needs our surveillance?”
Renee stared at her mother.
Kaitlyn’s expression shifted to shock. She stepped back, her face twisted in pain as if her head was about to split

It was as if two people were tearing her apart from within!
“Argh!” She flung the phone away, falling to her knees. Clutching her head, she screamed, “It hurts… Ah! The pain
is unbearable!”
“Mom!” Renee rushed over, concerned, but Kaitlyn pushed her away.
“Renee, run!”
Renee cried, her breath uneven.
“Mom… What’s wrong with you? What’s happening?”
Kaitlyn’s face twitched. Suddenly, she turned extremely hostile, but her expression quickly changed to deep
despair.
“No… You can’t stay in this body…” She weakly uttered, “Renee is my daughter, not yours!”
“Hah, really?!” Kaitlyn muttered, switching between cruelty and kindness, “I apologize, but she’ll serve me her
whole life!”
