The alleyways were cramped and maze-like.

Jessica was drenched in sweat as she ran through them. Damp strands of hair clung to her cheeks, but she didn't dare slow down.

She had no idea whether anyone was still chasing her.

All she knew was that she had to keep running.

At last, sunlight appeared ahead.

The narrow passage opened onto a larger street, and relief flashed across her face.

Then her steps stopped.

A figure had appeared directly in her path.

Jessica froze.

"W-What..."

Her voice tremb

    Vessara's expression remained tense and focused as she made her final preparations.Once everything was ready, she began.Outside the medical suite, Kieran sat hunched forward in a chair, suppressing a persistent cough.His eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion.Minutes dragged into an hour.Eventually, the waiting doctors could no longer stay quiet.“What's taking so long?”“Does that girl even know what she's doing?”One of them scoffed.“Forget her qualifications. This facility wasn't designed for a major operation in the first place.”Another shook his head.“And she insisted on doing it alone. Even experienced surgeons wouldn't attempt something like that.”“Arrogance.”“Complete arrogance.”“Enough.”The single word cut through the room.Everyone fell silent.Kieran didn't even look at them.He simply stared at the closed door.His patience had already worn thin.The last thing he wanted was to listen to their complaints.Time continued to crawl by.Then suddenly—“Young Master!”

    The caller was Kieran Quinn.The moment she answered, a tense voice came through the line.“Miss Vessara, I'm sorry for calling out of nowhere. Do you have time to come to Skyreach Tower? Oliver collapsed again. Mr. Sagewood is out of town and can't make it back in time. He told us to contact you.”The worry in his voice was impossible to miss.Standing by the window, he looked toward the unconscious child lying nearby, his heart tightening with every passing second.Vessara closed her eyes briefly.“Give me thirty minutes.”Relief flooded the man's voice as he thanked her repeatedly before ending the call.Vessara let out a quiet sigh and looked toward Roy and Tank.“I need to leave.”She paused before adding,“Keep an eye on that kid. When you think he's ready, give him my contact information.”Both men froze.“You're serious?” Roy asked.“I am.”Vessara stood.“He'll accomplish something significant one day.”That was not praise she handed out lightly.Roy and Tank exchanged a glan

    Razen's eyes flickered with surprise.The reaction was brief.A moment later, curiosity replaced it.“Go on,” he said.Vessara leaned back in her chair.“Jason and I do have some personal history. Unfortunately, that's not something I'm willing to discuss. For now, just assume I dislike him.”She paused.“The last time we spoke, you mentioned entering the family business. By now, I assume you've gained a decent understanding of the company's situation.”Razen slowly swirled the drink in his glass.“You seem remarkably well-informed about the Valdis family.”The faint sweetness of the beverage lingered on his tongue.“As for Jason, I'm more than happy to help you settle whatever score you have with him. But in exchange, shouldn't you tell me something about yourself?”“I believe I made my position clear the first day we met.” Vessara's voice remained calm, yet there was an unmistakable authority behind it. “Don't investigate me.”Razen studied her for a few seconds before lifting a sho

    Selena Laurent had never met anyone more unstable than herself.For a moment, she simply stared.Then the shock faded, and a faint smile curved her lips.“Slow down,” she said gently. “Tell me what happened first. Maybe I can help.”She draped a comforting arm around Emilia Barclay's shoulders.The gesture was all it took.Emilia’s composure shattered.“I was thrown out.”Her voice trembled with resentment.“That woman set me up. She turned my parents against me. They don’t even want to see me anymore.”The more she spoke, the more emotional she became, completely lost in her own grievances.She never noticed the flash of surprise in Selena’s eyes.Nor the calculations that quickly followed.After all, Emilia was still a Barclay.This could be temporary.Maybe in a few days she would be welcomed back home and resume her place as the Barclay family's beloved daughter.With that thought, Selena became even more attentive.Her voice softened.“Don't cry. Let me help you.”By the time the

    Inside the Laurent family villa, Selena Laurent locked herself in her room and pressed a hand over her phone as she hissed into the receiver.“Useless! Every last one of you! I paid her a fortune, and this is the result?”“Miss Laurent, there was nothing we could do,” the man on the other end replied helplessly. “The people you wanted us to target clearly aren't ordinary. No amount of money would've changed the outcome.”His tone made it obvious he wanted nothing more to do with the situation.Panic flickered across Selena's face.“No. You don't get to walk away now. We're all tied to this together.”“Not our problem anymore.”The line went dead.Selena immediately called back, only to be greeted by a disconnected tone.Her grip tightened around the phone.For a long moment, she stared into space.Then a thought surfaced.A certain face flashed through her mind.Meanwhile, back at the Barclay estate, Vessara sat beside her bedroom window, absently watching the moonlight spill across t

    Just after leaving the facility for good, Vessara received a call from the police station.“Ms. Vessara? We’ve uncovered some new information. Would you mind coming in?”“Of course.”After hanging up, she turned to Roy, who was beside her.“It’s the officer from before.”“Kendrick?” Roy paused for a moment before adding, “He’s one of the good ones.”Vessara nodded slightly, committing the name to memory.When they arrived at the station, Kendrick was already waiting near the entrance.“Ms. Vessara. Mr. Roy.”He greeted them, then his expression grew serious.“Jessica Hart has identified the organization behind the scam. We asked you both to come in for two reasons: to update you on the investigation and to collect formal statements. If you have access to the dashcam footage from that day, it would help us tremendously.”“No problem.”At a glance from Vessara, Roy immediately went to retrieve the video files.A flicker of relief crossed Kendrick’s face.“Please, have a seat, Ms. Vessar
