Alden said he had no right to interfere, but he couldn't just ignore or be indifferent to family matters.

"Keva, where does she work?"

Alden wanted to investigate further, just to be sure. She must have worked hard to earn her scholarship. He seemed to have forgotten the detail Keva mentioned earlier—Cara had been supported by a homeless aid organization to continue pursuing her dreams. But as for her profession, there was nothing to hide. Cara hadn't done anything wrong or illegal.

"At the Nightfall Club," Keva answered, already anticipating what everyone might think of her words. She quickly clarified,

"Before making any judgments, let me confirm—she works in administration, mainly handling paperwork and invoices. That’s all, nothing else. She assured me of that, and Jack will verify it tomorrow."

Jack was a close family friend, a senior investigator. That meant the accuracy of the information would be high—unless someone tried to interfere, but bribing Jack would be difficult. He ow

    At Alden's intense reaction, Gavin softened his tone and tried to calm him down:"Come on, Alden, calm down. You're overreacting. I'm just asking questions, I don't mean to offend you.""You’re making me angry," Alden snapped immediately."I’m sorry for that," Gavin apologized sincerely."I’m not just going to let you off the hook so easily," Alden pouted, deliberately making demands. "Unless you do something to make me feel better.""Don’t be so petty, Alden," Gavin chuckled but then turned serious. "But fine, I’ll agree to something—if it makes sense."Hearing this, Alden’s expression brightened a little. He eagerly made a suggestion:"If you can, then maybe you could—""Let’s put that aside for now," Gavin suddenly cut him off, leaving Alden feeling disappointed. "Right now, I need your help to clarify something."Alden furrowed his brow, clearly displeased at being interrupted. "What is it?""Did you intentionally leave Cara alone with Dante, or was it by accident?" Gavin asked sud

    Alden had thought that no one would care or even notice his absence. Everyone was focused on Cara. So, when Gavin knocked on the door and suggested a quick chat, Alden was somewhat surprised."Alden, it’s me, Gavin. Can I come in?"Alden was about to refuse but quickly understood Gavin’s nature—once he wanted something, he would get it no matter what. Reluctantly, he agreed."Come in."As soon as he got permission, Gavin opened the door and stepped in.Alden didn’t even bother trying to guess why Gavin had come. To be honest, he didn’t care. Right now, everything seemed meaningless to Alden. He didn’t want to talk, nor did he want to do anything else—he just wanted to sink into the solitude of darkness and let the pain gnaw at his soul.“The room’s so dark. Why don’t you turn on the light?” Gavin asked.A rather unnecessary question. Alden frowned. Did Gavin forget that he was blind? Whether the light was on or not made no difference.“I prefer it this way,” Alden replied indifferently

    "Alden!" Gavin snapped at his younger brother as soon as he heard him speak. "Don’t talk nonsense. Making baseless accusations without solid proof can have terrible consequences, do you understand?""I'm just saying what needs to be said," Alden shrugged indifferently. "How can we truly know what’s in someone’s heart? Not even the gods can see everything, let alone mortals. It's better to double-check, just to be sure. What's so wrong with that?"Although Gavin didn’t appreciate Alden’s insolent attitude, he couldn’t completely dismiss what his brother said. After all, Alden wasn’t entirely wrong. Everyone has their own perspective—sometimes flawed, but still worth acknowledging. Still, Gavin had no desire to argue with him right now. He turned to his parents.“Cara is probably still somewhere around here. We just need to go find her,” Gavin suggested. “I’m sure we’ll find her, so please don’t worry, Mom.”"That's right. We should split up and look for her," Anna agreed, and the other

    At the same time, in the living room.Mrs. Agatha was enthusiastically chatting with her husband and eldest son about the Helen family's upcoming vacation. After some discussion, they agreed to travel to Paris. As she stepped into the luxurious mansion, she planned to find her youngest son and Cara to share the good news.Normally, around this hour, Cara would be in the kitchen chatting with the maids, but today the house felt strangely quiet."Anna," Mrs. Agatha called out to one of the maids. "Where are Alden and Cara?"Anna hesitated slightly, her expression somewhat tense. "Miss Cara... is in her room, ma’am. I think she’s asleep.""Think?" Mrs. Agatha raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with suspicion."I’ve gone to her room several times, but Cara hasn’t responded. The door is locked," Anna explained cautiously. "So I assumed she’s sleeping."Sleeping? At 3 p.m.? That was truly odd."And Alden?" Mrs. Agatha pressed on."He’s in his room as well."Mrs. Agatha frowned slightly. "Wha

    As soon as they entered her room, Cara quickly dismissed Dante."Thanks, Dante. I’ll take my medicine and get some sleep.""I’ll help you.""That’s not necessary."But Dante ignored her words. He bent down, lifted her from the wheelchair, and gently laid her on the bed."The bed is too big, Cara," Dante remarked, his voice tinged with seduction as he sat down beside her."Yes, Mrs. Agatha thought it would be better for me," Cara replied calmly."You’re so beautiful, Cara. And you smell so good," Dante whispered, lowering his voice as he leaned closer."Dante, I really need to rest." Cara shifted away, her voice growing colder.But he didn’t care. Suddenly, he leaned in and kissed her.Cara panicked, trying to push him away, but he was taller and stronger. Helplessness surged inside her, making fear flare in her chest. His breath against her skin made her shudder. In a burst of panic, Cara kicked him hard.Caught off guard, Dante recoiled slightly. Then he chuckled, his eyes gleaming wi

    "Did you know Emma used to be a stripper at a nightclub before she pretended to be a nurse just to get close to you?"Alden ignored Lyna at first, but her question immediately caught his attention."What the hell are you talking about?" Alden asked urgently, his voice tense. "How could that be true?""Judging by your reaction, it's clear you had no idea." Lyna smirked, her voice laced with sarcasm. "I have to admit, Emma is good at hiding things. She managed to fool even you – someone known for being suspicious and sharp. Or maybe… you’re just a fool?"Alden suddenly became agitated. He grabbed Lyna by the shoulders, his grip firm and accusatory. Though he couldn't see her, he grasped her with surprising precision."Speak. Is what you just said true?" Alden demanded, his tone cold and terrifying enough to make Lyna flinch for a moment."Talk!" he snapped impatiently when she hesitated."It’s true," Lyna finally admitted hesitantly, regaining her composure. "I met Emma back when she was
