    Anna sprinted across the courtyard. The café’s tropical-themed décor was full of lush plants, but the yard was quiet—not a soul in sight.The door loomed ahead. She inhaled deeply and threw it open.Who was behind all of this?The room was empty—no one, not even Olive.“Boss, they got away!”“I left someone at the door. They might run, but they won’t escape.

    Anna pulled a sharp dagger and pressed it against Olive’s neck. “That year, I didn’t even get to see my mother one last time. I know her body better than anyone—she was so young. Falling from the height of the villa wouldn’t have killed her. You botched the rescue… or did you take the opportunity to kill her? Was it you?”At the word *kill*, Olive trembled violently.

I didn’t kill anyone!”Her expression was so tense that Anna was certain this woman was involved.

    Anna had spent the past week in a daze, her mind consumed with thoughts of the returning attending physician. No one knew the details of her mother’s case better than she did.A hand, sharply jointed and precise, waved in front of her eyes. Anna blinked and focused.Lorenzo was staring at her intently. “What’s got you thinking so seriously?”“Sorry… I was thinking about the attending physician. She arrives tomorrow. I’ve arranged for someone to intercept her the moment she lands. What’s wrong?”Lorenzo held a tablet, the screen displaying several cocktail dresses. “These are all

    Lisa quickly replied, “The exact arrival time is next Friday at 11:45 a.m. Once we locate her, everything will be clear.”Anna exhaled, relieved. “Good. Keep an eye on her. She can’t get away.”“I understand, boss. Don’t worry.”The day passed leisurely.

Don’t worry.]No signature, but she knew exactly who it was.

    Randall wasn’t like Forrest. With a single command, he could uncover a web of details.His assistant cautiously laid out Xandra’s movements over the past month. “Mr. Davidson, your mother visited Xandra three times. Xandra met Valerie four times: once shopping at a mall, once at your home, once privately, and the last time at Mr. Hamilton’s engagement party. We only caught two of their meetings on surveillance entering a café—we don’t know what they discussed.”He handed Randall the footage. Watching Xandra pick gifts, she was not only snatched at by Valerie but even shoved around. Without Anna and Laura present, who knows what else Valerie might have done?

    Poppy grabbed Lily’s hand. “Why even waste your time on someone like her? Just looking at her, you can tell she’s here to hook a rich guy. I feel dirty even talking about her.”“True… but doesn’t she look a little familiar?” Lily frowned.After thinking for a moment, she decided it was probably bec
