Chapter 505 The Hidden Truth
But photos were just photos.
Watching the woman move and speak on video–seeing her smile, hearing her voice–hit differently Eliza’s nose stung, and she suddenly felt like something had punched her in the chest.
Next to her, Nolan noticed the shift in her expression. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, clearly hoping to comfort her, to soften the emotional blow.
Eliza didn’t say a word.
Just then, the screen went black. A few seconds passed, and then a new scene appeared.
The video cut to what looked like the research building at Claire University. It was dark–clearly nighttime -and the halls were dim and eerily silent.
But one corridor had a faint light, like someone was inside… doing something.
As she watched, Eliza felt her heart climb into her throat.
The person filming moved quietly toward a lab door and peered through the narrow window. Inside, several men in green scrubs were dissecting a woman on an operating table.
The sight was horrifying–brutal, bloody.

Eliza’s stomach twisted. Nausea hit her hard and fast, and she nearly doubled over.
Nolan immediately covered her eyes, shielding her from the screen. But Eliza pushed his hand away.
She had to see. She needed to know what had really happened.
The camera cut again. This time, the view focused on a pair of hands–hands she recognized. Her mother’s.
On her mother’s finger was a wedding ring. She was flipping through pages of foreign documents, scanning them carefully.
The documents were packed with specialized terminology that you’d have to look up to even begin to understand.
It looked like her mother had photographed everything. The scene shifted again–this time to the inside of a facility.
Eliza recognized it instantly–it was the Rivers Pharmaceutical Group’s factory. She’d seen it before in the news. No doubt about it.
Inside, production was clearly underway. Workers were packaging small batches of medication–but none of it looked familiar. These drugs weren’t sold on the market.
The batches were small. There weren’t even labels on the containers.
Then, a woman’s voice came through the video–quiet and serious.
“These are all illegally made. They’re stem cell extractions… used to slow down aging.”
Eliza’s chest tightened.
Chapter 505 The Hidden Truth
Stem cells? Anti–aging? Was Rivers Pharmaceutical Group involved in this? Was everything in the eviden exposing the company’s illegal operations?
No wonder Felix had been so desperate to get his hands on the ring turns out it was hiding the Foster
ring–turns family’s entire illegal operation.
If this ever went public, Rivers Pharmaceutical Group would go under overnight.
And the fallout wouldn’t stop there. It would take down everything and everyone tied to them.
Watching the footage, Eliza felt a wave of shock roll through her. Beside her, Nolan stood silent, his brows drawn tight.
The Foster family had spent years building a charitable public image. For a moment, Eliza had even started to believe they weren’t as awful as they seemed.
But this… this changed everything.
“You think Henry had anything to do with this?” she asked suddenly.
He was the first person who came to mind.
Back in high school, they’d been best friends.
She didn’t want to believe Henry could ever be involved in something like this.
“No,” Nolan said firmly. “He couldn’t have.”
The events in the video had taken place nearly twenty years ago.
Henry hadn’t even been born.
This had nothing to do with him.
But that didn’t mean the research had stopped.
Eliza had been ready to expose everything. But now, thinking about how it could destroy Henry too, she hesitated.
“What happens if we report it?” she asked.
Would it even make it online? Would it be flagged and taken down before anyone saw?
And once it started spreading, there’d be no containing the fallout.
“This part’s strange,” Nolan said suddenly.
“What is it?”
“Look at the papers.
He paused the video and zoomed in on the documents her mother had been examining.
Eliza leaned closer. The papers were packed with complex medical terminology–words that would be impossible to understand without a science background or a dictionary.

Eliza could barely make sense of any of it
“What about them?” she asked.
“Down here. That stamp. Look closely.”
She followed his finger to the bottom corner–and there it was. A blue stamp.
Blue? Eliza blinked, confused.
All the official thesis papers she’d seen had red stamps. Even when schools verified graduation work, it was always in red. She remembered clearly–Claire University used red ink.
But this one wasn’t just blue–it didn’t even have Claire University’s seal. It looked like it belonged to a completely different school… possibly one overseas.
