Ashlyn stole a quiet glance at Sophia from the sidelines, careful not to be noticed. Although Ashlyn hadn’t encountered Sophia often, she was somewhat familiar with Sophia’s notorious reputation.

Could this girl, who appeared so fragile, really possess such a fierce side? This left Ashlyn feeling completely confused.

Moreover, the striking resemblance between the two was uncanny. As a result, Khalid and the others began to examine Sophia and Ashlyn more carefully. If not for their different personalities, it would be challenging for anyone to distinguish between them.

Sophia glanced at Ashlyn casually, as if to suggest she had known about Ashlyn for quite a while.

After a brief moment of thought, Ashlyn turned to Sophia and asked, “Miss Spencer, has anyone ever pointed out how much we resemble each other?”

Ashlyn had always been struck by their similar features, so much so that it sparked speculation they might be sisters. She had even gone so far as to question her father about the possibility of having a twin. Although he denied it, the more Ashlyn observed Sophia, the more she wondered if they could be siblings.

Sophia looked at Ashlyn with a composed expression and replied, “Don’t overthink it. We are not sisters.”

Ashlyn was left at a loss for words. Sophia was such a chilly, unfeeling woman! She had no trace of warmth in her. Clearly, someone like Sophia was not her sister.

However, noticing Sophia’s firm rejection, Ashlyn decided not to bring it up again, careful not to come across as too eager.

Katelyn looked over at Sophia and sternly said, “I instructed you to stay in your room these few days and not to wander. Didn’t you understand?”

Sophia remained quiet. It was clear to her that Katelyn was taking Ashlyn’s side. She gave Katelyn a quick look and stood up decisively.

“Alright, I’ll go.”

Being under Katelyn’s control meant following her rules.

Once Sophia had left, Alfy turned to Katelyn and said, “I used to believe it was just the photos, but after seeing her in person today, she and Miss Marshall could easily be mistaken for twins.”

The resemblance was uncannily striking, and the fact that they weren’t actually twins made it all the more extraordinary.

Vincent, reclining in his chair beside Katelyn, casually said, “It’s not that uncommon. While it’s extremely rare, there’s a small chance for such resemblances to happen naturally.”

The complexities of biology were truly deep and, at times, difficult to explain.

Khalid stared in the direction where Sophia had gone, deep in thought. Sophia’s presence slightly lowered the lively atmosphere from before, and the group fell into silence. Eventually, they all retreated to their rooms.
