Chapter 18

Penulis: Sequora
Alison's worry wasn't without reason, and Renee knew that all too well.

"Don't worry. I'm prepared."

Renee shared her plan with Alison.

"So, what do you plan to do after the divorce?"

"Start a business."

"What? Babe, you're starting a business?"

"Yeah. I mean, I can't just give up on myself because the marriage ended."

"Why start a business from scratch? It's such a hassle!" Alison let out a sly chuckle. "Hey, we majored in the same field. Why don't you just come work at my company instead? You know I've always wanted to hire great talent. If you hadn't been running your own business, I'd have dragged you in long ago."

"Well…" Renee tried to politely decline. "It wouldn't be right. You've already worked hard for a year or two to get your company on its feet. If I come in now, it'd be like taking advantage of you."

"No way, don't say that! Girl, you're exactly the kind of all-rounder we're missing! Come on, please say yes."

    Daniel kept Renee up on her feet and followed the stretcher to the infirmary, where the doctor examined Emma again.In the end, the doctor merely announced, "Time of death…"Hearing that, Renee's mind went blank, and nothing seemed to register with her.All she could do was blame herself.Why? Why did she have to leave? What made her so confident that Martin would spare Emma's life?How could she be so stupid?!That was when Martin suddenly showed up and came rushing in, "What happened?! Where's Emma?! What—"Before he could finish, Renee's vision turned black as she passed out.-There was no telling how long had passed when Renee finally regained consciousness and found herself in an unfamiliar hospital room, thick with an almost stinging scent of medicine.Her mind was blank as she couldn't remember a thing, until she saw Daniel standing by her bed and Martin standing by the window.As her mind cleared up instantly and her memories returned, she asked feebly, "Where's

    All the bystanders who were watching were either retching or screaming as they fled the scene, while the jumper lay flat on her stomach, her back to Renee.Despite being unable to see the person's face, Renee found her back familiar and matched the figure in her memory.Afraid to make her sound, she was holding Daniel's wrist while trembling nervously.After a few deep breaths, she finally mustered her courage to move forward and see her face.Everyone at the care center would wear the same clothes for every season, and as the jumper wore the same clothes, she couldn't be identified through her clothing.Even as Renee walked, she kept praying that it wasn't the person she had in mind.But when she moved to the jumper's side and saw the jumper's face lying in the pool of blood, her knees buckled and she collapsed to the ground, unable to stand again and only holding herself up with her hands."Mom?"Her worst fears had come true.She thought that Martin wouldn't get that far wi

    "That's right! Renee calls you Daddy, but you're so heartless you're ready to subject her to hell!"Emma was clearly furious, her voice cracking as she snapped, "Do you think I won't know what you're up to?! It's been twenty years… Twenty years! Are you so set on destroying her like you did with me?!" Martin, however, simply laughed. "Destroy her? When I'm just guiding her to wealth and fame?""Dream on!" Emma bellowed nonetheless. "I don't mind giving it to you straight—you won't ever use her like a tool as long as I'm alive! I owe her so much, and the only thing I can do now is protect her from your grubby hands!" "You? A mental patient? How delusional.""You know damned well I'm not! You're the one who kept sending your accomplices to inject me with hallucinogens!"With that, Emma bellowed as she lunged at Martin, "I'll kill you!"Crash!There was a ruckus as things audibly crashed and fell apart.Unable to hear what was said, Renee promptly called Martin.Beep, beep…I

    After a brief chat, they offered each other words of encouragement before hanging up.Renee then opened the door, stared at the bodyguards, and said, "You are free to go. Your services are no longer needed."Alison had hired them after Renee asked her to, having noticed that there was something strange going on with her mother while she was locked-up.But now, it was clear neither of them were dependable.The two bodyguards traded looks as if to convey something, and one of them soon said, "Ms. Zeller has already paid us three months up front. We will earn it before going."The other bodyguard nodded. "Yes. It's our obligation."Renee had no choice but to nod in turn. "Alright. In that case, thank you."Even if she noticed that Martin was suspicious, dismissing both men right away would alert Martin to her suspicion.After much thought, she decided to let them stay, and the only thing she could be sure of now was that Martin wasn't going to kill Emma just yet, or he wouldn't sp

    The nurse nodded. "Okay."After she left, Renee sat beside Emma's bed, holding her hand nervously.Everything about today had been strange, but if there was a direct cause, it had to be Martin's presence.So what secrets was that man keeping? And since her mother knew Martin's secrets, why would she hate him so much and snap whenever she saw him?There were just so many questions that it hurt Renee's brain to think, not to mention that she was completely deflated after Jasper's death and couldn't pull herself together at all.For some reason, she felt like she was caught in a web that stretched across the world, and there was no escape, suffocating her.As she held her mother's hand and remembered the way she snapped, she then remembered she saying that the IV was poisoned.Her eyes widened in realization—her mother was sending her a message!Even as she looked up sharply at the dangling IV bottle, her heart skipped a beat.Was there something else in the bottle?She felt a c

    Renee just couldn't understand why, be it in the past or in the present."What happened back then must have overwhelmed her." Martin sighed in regret. "It's all my fault. I owe her."Then, looking up and into her eyes, he finished, "It's late—you should go home. I'll stay."Renee's heart skipped a beat as her worst fear came true.Hanging her head to make herself look unhappy, she sniffled, "No, I'll stay with Mom… I've been through a lot lately, and I'd like to stay with her.""Oh, silly. I know you're grieving, that's why I'm telling you to go home and get some rest… Or how about a hotel room?""No, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep anyway." Renee sighed, holding Martin's gaze with her tearful eyes. "I've been insomniac—just let me sleep here." Seeing that she was determined, Martin didn't argue. "Alright, then I'm going now—I'll be back tomorrow morning.""Okay," Renee replied and walked him out to the parking lot.When she returned, she closed the front door and rushed to
