In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 407 Death Certificate

Adeline was startled, but she shook her head.

She looked at the photograph on the tombstone. "I don't know."

Grace was obviously disappointed by her answer.

Adeline continued, "But I can prove that she's fake." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Grace's eyes lit up with hope. Adeline didn't try to hide anything. She squatted down and slowly moved the right brick in front of the tombstone.

A small gap appeared, and then she pulled out a stack of documents from inside.

"These are the documents related to the car accident and Jessica's death certificate. And … the design drafts that Jessica once treasured the most."

Grace and Xander exchanged looks, then reached out to take them.

Grace took a deep breath before opening them.

"Jessica was burned very badly in the accident, and her parents' deaths were a huge blow to her. At some point, she lost the courage to continue living."

"Even though the doctors tried their best to save her, she didn't make it."

There was silence.

Grace looked at the hospital documents and death certificate in her hand, feeling conflicted.

"Then … when did the current Jessica replace her?" Grace asked doubtfully. More theories about who the current Jessica really was began popping up in her mind.

Adeline pulled out her phone and tapped on the screen quickly. Then, she handed it to Grace.

"This is the video of the first time the fake Jessica appeared in the public eye. You can see from the date that it was five years ago."

Five years ago?

Grace was even more surprised.

She couldn't remember much about the people and events of five years ago. At that time, she had been studying at Coronia University. How could she have offended Jessica back then?

Beside them, Xander suddenly said, "They had already planned it all out five years ago. It looks like they really put in painstaking effort to pull this off."

Grace didn't understand. "Xander, what could this person want?"

"Gracie, someone who spent that much time plotting such a complex plan must not have done it on a whim. Think about it. Have you ever offended anyone? Or does the Lewis family have any competitors?"

A realization dawned on Grace just then.

As a prominent family in Frenda and one of the richest families on the globe, they controlled the world's economic flow. They were bound to have many opponents in the business world.

But if the people behind this had really spent five years planning this, they must be really cunning!

"I'll talk to Aaron about this and get him to investigate it more. Now we've found at least two pieces of evidence at Coronia University.

"The first can prove that you didn't plagiarize! The boutique's reputation can be restored, and secondly, we now know that the current Jessica is a fake!

"As for her true identity, why don't we start with her and get her to expose herself?"

There was silence.

After listening to Xander's analysis, Grace had a clear idea of the path she needed to take. "You're right. We can start with Jessica and investigate who she really is."

Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang in her pocket. She looked at the number and smiled coldly. "Speak of the devil."

Xander held her hand tightly. "Pick up. Let's see what she has to say."

Grace agreed and answered the call. Then, Jessica's voice traveled through the phone.
