Chapter 489 Meet Blood Shadow’s Clone
The once emply throne–like seat was now taken by someone else.
It wasn’t just one person.
As the scene widened, the hall was crowded with people.
45 Pests
This was the underground of the castle, identical to the main floor, right down to the arrangement of items.
Like a mirror image.
Yet, on closer inspection, differences could be spotted. The high ceiling was just a trick made with mirrors. Moreover, there was a missing door that, when opened, would let in the smell of the ocean.
Isabelle turned her eyes from the person on the throne to the young man standing slightly lower on his right. The man was thin, had striking and attractive features, and was the same age as Isabelle.
He was the fake Joshua: Jacques Marley.
Even though he had been poisoned, he survived against all odds.
This face was not only familiar, but there was also a girl next to Joker with soft yet intensely captivating
features.
Radiating a relaxed coldness and natural allure, she was truly stunning.
Out of everyone there, this face was the most unmistakable to Isabelle..
This girl was the reason Jack left the hospital in a daze, causing even more unease for George and Yves- her clone.
Isabelle never thought she would see her own body from someone else’s viewpoint, which was quite an unusual experience.
She examined the clone around her, as if she couldn’t look enough.
Her intense, predatory stare unsettled the stoic clone. If she weren’t a woman, she could easily be mistaken for a gangster.
Hmm, she is quite lovely …
Too bad George isn’t here.
He would definitely appreciate seeing himself.
The unlucky old man. If he had known me in my previous life and had had the chance to fall in love with me in my own body, he would have died of happiness.
Isabelle felt entirely comfortable, as if she had come home.
Unlike the Dark Shadow leader encircled by fearless soldiers, she seemed more like the person on the throne, closer to the ruler of the castle.

He had evebrows and eyes resembling Beam K, a note akin to the Spade, lips reminiscent of the Clubs and a chin mirroring Diamond J
All blended together into a single face.
Isabelle noticed hints of the deceased Clubs in his features, not because of any connection.
The Dark Shadow leader never unveiled his real face, and when Isabelle saw him twice on a screen, his face was either distorted or completely blacked out.
He was wary and almost paranoid. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
He compelled Clubs and the other three to have their characteristics overlaid on his face, allowing him to use them as scapegoats when needed.
Originally, Dark Shadow had a senior member.
He utilised this strategy to protect Joker from being pursued.
Whenever Isabelle laid eyes on his face, she felt a pang of unease, but luckily, they rarely showed up before her at the same time.
Joker remarked, “We finally cross paths.”
Isabelle responded, “Honestly, I’d prefer not to see your face mixed with others‘ features.”
Joker’s stare at Isabelle intensified as he heard this.
Those sharp eyes appeared to pierce Isabelle, whom he had only seen a few times, and another familiar figure.
‘Honestly, I’d prefer not to see you with another person’s features. Blood Shadow retorted similarly.
Among the Dark Shadow members, only Blood Shadow had the audacity to speak so frankly.
Joker corrected her with a friendly tone. “Actually, you misspoke. It’s someone else with my features.”
Isabelle had no interest in exchanging banter. “Where are my people?”
Joker quipped, “In such haste, aren’t you curious to have a small talk with me first?”
Isabelle remained unperturbed “Small talk? Are we acquainted?”
Joker remarked, “Not acquainted? I understand.”
There was a tinge of disappointment in his expression as he glanced towards Blood Shadow’s clone and asked. “If you are not acquainted with me then are you acquainted with her?”

Chapter 489 Meet Blood Shadow’s Clone
Isabelle glanced in his direction and asked, “Only one?”
Joker responded, “Hmm?”

Isabelle remarked, “Given that it shares at most eighty percent of the genes, along with the clone’s inherent flaws, this shouldn’t be viewed as a trump card, should it?”
A subtle grin appeared on her face.
Joker’s demeanour shifted subtly once again.
He hadn’t expected Isabelle to be this knowledgeable.
Isabelle remarked, “Is that all? I was anticipating at least a clone army, perhaps a hundred Blood Shadows and a hundred Storm Shadows. With such a meagre assembly, you seem quite inadequate.”
That was utterly exasperating.
She suddenly remembered something and extended a genuine apology.
“Oh, I forgot to mention. Your clone army was burned to ashes by me in the incubation chamber. Their ‘birth‘ was a failure.”
