The Heiress Who Took Revenge
She was more obedient than Leo. She carried out every mission from the organization as if it were a holy decree. In return, the organization was supposed to help her bring Morten back to life. Thinking about it now, Wendy felt she must have already been insane to believe such a thing. It was no different from making a deal with the devil. She had sacrificed her soul to the devil, so she knew that once she lost her value, they would turn on her. “But we've never heard of this organization. If they're so powerful, why haven't they left a single trace? What is their purpose?” Eliza had so many questions. Wendy said, “As far as I know, this organization has always existed. It's been around for many years, but only a few people in this circle are aware of it. Not just anyone can join Redemption. The organization's leader hand-picks its members. Only those who meet all the requirements can receive the organization's help. The main rule of entry is that you must not reveal any information about the organization to anyone. Otherwise, Redemption will eliminate the person who leaked it immediately.” At this, Wendy glanced at Henry. “If not for that, I never would have kept this secret for so long. Even though I resent the Foster family for pushing me out and causing Morten's death, I know they are still my family. I could not harm them.” After she finished, Wendy's expression grew calm. “I've said all I have to say. It's up to you whether to believe it. As for the organization's location, I can't give you a precise answer. Every time the leader wanted to see me, I would go to that old castle overseas. But he isn't always there. It's just a meeting spot.” “So you're saying we probably won't find anything at that castle?” “Correct.” They hadn't gotten any useful clues from Wendy. Just as the three were feeling disappointed, Wendy suddenly looked at Eliza. “Did your mother never tell you any of this? Oh, right. I forgot. Your mother died the day you were born.” Hearing Wendy say this, Eliza immediately looked up. “What does this have to do with my mother?” “You don't know your mother was involved? Back then, your mother was also invited to join the organization. And the person who extended the invitation was me. Your mother and I knew each other. We went to the same university.”An expression of disbelief crossed Eliza's face. She had never imagined that Wendy knew her mother, let alone that they attended the same university. So, from the first time Wendy saw her, she knew whose daughter she was. Wendy just hadn't said. “Then... then why did my mother really die?” “Childbirth hemorrhage.” Wendy said, “But I think your mother was too smart for that. She definitely knew what your adoptive parents were really like. They didn't have the ability to make her die of a hemorrhage. There must be more to it. I think the organization couldn't tolerate her. Before you were born, your mother was investigating the organization's activities. She used me as her starting point and probably learned many of its secrets. That's why the organization had to kill her.” Eliza had only ever known her mother through the words of others; she didn't truly know her. But hearing Wendy say this, Eliza felt it made sense. Her mother knew to start with Wendy and, all by herself, uncovered those factories and the secrets on the chip. She must have been an incredibly meticulous person. How could she have been killed by the petty schemes of Nathan and Evelyn? But Nathan and Evelyn were dead. There was no way to ask them what really happened. While Eliza was lost in thought, Wendy spoke again. “Right, that sister of yours... she's not to be underestimated. I advise you to be careful. I can see the ambition in that girl's eyes.” “You mean, Naomi?” Eliza hadn't yet asked why Naomi ended up in Wendy's hands. Eliza had never really paid Naomi much mind, but hearing Wendy say this, she felt a little uneasy. “Did you arrange for Naomi to be at Wendigo Corp? Now that Wendigo Corp is in trouble, what about her...” “Sofia. Her name is Sofia now.”
