NovelOnlineAurelia pondered for a moment.
If they were indeed identical twins, they should look strikingly similar. But Geoffrey had been frail since birth, so there was no way he could have built up the brawny frthat Skyler had. Maybe as kids, Geoffrey could have passed for Skyler, but as they grew up, the difference in their builds would have been too noticeable.
But there was no chance he could have grown up to look like Raines, right? Maybe it was just a coincidence that both had poor health and similar stature.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, she decided to keep an eye out just in case. It was better to be safe than sorry.
After all, they still knew nothing about Geoffrey. Whether he was Skyler's twin brother was still up in the air.
"Geoffrey's out there hiding somewhere. Keeping an eye out is a good idea. Who knows, he might be masquerading as someone we know, lurking around us," she mused.
Skyler scratched his head. "So, could this Raines be a fake? Could he be Geoffrey in disguise?" "Does Geoffrey have the skills to change his face?" Aurelia said, stopping midway through her thought. The idea wasn't entirely impossible. All it would take was a hefty sum of money to create a realistic mask.
But even the best masks had their flaws. With extremely careful observation, one could spot them.
Skyler sighed. "I don't know if Geoffrey could do that, but he's really cunning. | used to be terrified of him." Aurelia patted his shoulder. "The fear you had was because no one believed you. Tanya made everyone think you were sick with sdelusional disorder. No one was there to help, and Geoffrey could bully you all he wanted. But things are different now. We're all on your side. The more support you have, the stronger you are. Geoffrey's the isolated one now." Her words brought Skyler a great deal of comfort.
Now, Geoffrey must be green with envy, hating that Skyler was no longer the timid mouse who had to obey his every command.
"Angel, I'll help you guys find Geoffrey," Skyler vowed. "We can't let him get away with everything. He has to pay for his wrongdoings." "Right," Aurelia smiled. "You're our ace in the hole." Leaving the room, she headed to Leopold's study. He was busy sorting through a pile of overseas business emails.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe placed a fruit platter on his desk. "You haven't seen Raines in a while, have you?" "The last twas when Chad passed away. He cback for that, and then... nothing," Leopold said casually, looking up at her.
"Why do you ask?" With an air of nonchalance, Aurelia inquired, "He hasn't changed much, has he? Was he always this skinny?" Leopold fell silent for a moment before answering, "Even though it's been a while, | remember what he looks like. He used to be of a normal build, similar to his brother. He wasn't this thin. What's on your mind?" Aurelia hesitated, then spoke in a low voice, "Skyler mentioned that Raines seemed too thin, reminded him of Geoffrey, who was always skinny in turtlenecks to wrap himself up to the neck." Leopold was taken aback, recalling Skyler's comment that Raines resembled someone he knew and asking if he had ever been to Eastwood Heights.
"If Skyler has spotted something off, then we better look into it. If the man here isn't Raines, then the real Raines could be in danger." Aurelia nodded, "Let's hope it's just a false alarm." The next day, she took a day off to host a welcparty for Mr. and Mrs. Raines at their seaside villa.
Fredric, Sheryl, Skyler, and Beverley all cover.
Beverley laughed as she looked at Raines, "Raines, it's been so long, | barely recognized you. You've lost so much weight. | remember you being quite stocky." Raines responded casually, "I fell ill a while back, which is why | lost so much weight. Thankfully, Lisbeth was by my side to nurseback to health." Beverley expressed her concern, "Raines, when you were sick, why didn't you tell us? | was abroad too and | could have visited you."
