Louis frowned, his smile long gone from his face.
He pursed his thin lips and remained silent for a while before asking, “What do you need me to do?”
What to do?
Louis’s words stirred up a thousand waves in Stefan’s heart.
Although he felt that the current Martha was fake, he hadn’t thought of any specific actions yet.
The reason why he called Louis tonight was to hear his opinion.
After pondering for a moment, Stefan sighed irritably and said, “I’m not sure.”
Although he was much calmer than when he was at the villa earlier tonight, he still couldn’t think of a better solution.
If the current Martha was fake, then the real Martha must be related to her somehow. He didn’t want to alert her easily.
After remaining silent for a while longer, the air around Louis suddenly dropped.
“When did things start going wrong?”
Stefan held onto the phone tightly as he tried hard to recall when Martha had started acting differently from before.
Suddenly it hit him that Jimmy had changed from being happy to depressed ever since they returned home.
Whenever he faced Martha, he couldn’t intimately interact with Martha as when they were in Z Country.
His eyes darkened as a husky voice came out of his thin lips, “She has been acting strange since we got back home; I always feel like something went wrong on that night before we left Z Country.”
But… nothing unusual happened on that day!
Before they left Z Country, Martha only went to the Lucas Residence and bid farewell to the Lucas one by one.
Yet the current Martha was the fake version. Why?
Stefan’s words made Louis’ face darken slightly as countless thoughts ran through his mind.
After some time, he suggested, “Since you don’t want to alert her too soon, you should maintain your relationship with her. How about using maintain your relationship with her and taking her back to Z Country with you?”
Louis paused briefly before continuing, “If there’s anything wrong with Martha, then taking her back will force more flaws out into view.”
“But would she agree?” asked Stefan, knowing full well how resistant “Martha” could be towards returning there again.
Louis, who was far away in Z Country, clearly understood what Stefan meant and sighed silently.
“Just don’t tell her that you’re coming to Z Country.”
He had always known that Stefan liked his cousin, but he never expected this usually calm and composed man to be so flustered over Martha’s situation.
Suddenly, Jane’s weak voice echoed in his mind and his eyes darkened with emotion.
If Jane were still alive now, wouldn’t he also be a man flustered because of a woman?
But Jane could never come back again.
Thinking of this, Louis felt like someone had grabbed his heart tightly. The pain made it difficult for him to even breathe.
After a moment of silence, Stefan’s agreement came through on the phone call and interrupted Louis’ thoughts.
“We’ll do it your way.”
If they suddenly appeared in Z Country now, the current Martha would definitely be caught off guard and reveal her flaws.
Stefan couldn’t help but wonder what kind of scheming person could create someone who looked exactly like Martha from the beginning just to deceive everyone.
His real Martha might be in bad circumstances now.
His breath paused as he tightened his grip on the phone. “Louis, keep an eye on things in Z Country.”
“I know,” replied Louis with a deep voice after snapping out of it.
He knew how important this matter was; these days he would send people secretly investigate everything about Martha before she left Z Country.
However, if it took Stefan so long to realize something was wrong with “Martha”, then whoever was behind all this must have an incredibly deep scheme up their sleeve.
