Rebecca doesn't want to admit anything. However, what excuse could she have when a question arises about how she meets Anton and the others?

"I know Yelena, yes. She is a distant cousin of mine," she replied to Aleckin's query earlier.

'I knew it! We've met before! She resembles the little girl I saw in the past. But Lina suddenly disappears into the upper-class scene, so I also stop seeing that little girl.'
"Then you attended those parties, too. " He still wanted confirmation, and his heart danced when Rebecca nodded.
A wave of relief washed over him at not having made a wrong guess about Rebecca. He could still remember her beautiful hazel eyes.
"Then you know where Yelena is." He uttered afterward. That was not a question but a definite belief.
