LOGINKeith glanced at Vivian’s phone and recognized at once that the woman in the video was Autumn.But who was the man pressing her down?His grip on the pen tightened unconsciously. As he signed, the tip nearly pierced through the paper.The temperature in the office plunged instantly. The icy aura around Keith grew heavier, as if the room had turned into an ice cellar.Vivian shivered, thoroughly satisfied with his reaction. As long as he believed it, that was enough.Autumn was gone, with no way to defend herself. After a night of fermenting, the post had already spread across the internet.Even if Keith realized the truth now and wanted the trending topic taken down, it was far too late.Countless users had already saved the video and reposted it across multiple platforms. It was common knowledge by now.Her goal was achieved. Even if Autumn were not dead and somehow returned, she would never be able to step into the Sinclair household again.There was nothing left for Vivian to worry
Keith took the documents and signed them. Vivian did not move an inch the entire time, standing there like a rooted tree, unshaken no matter what happened.Keith treated her as if she did not exist. Not a single word she said and gesture she made registered with him.After taking back the signed papers, Jesse glanced at Vivian, who was dressed lightly, his expression hesitant, as if he wanted to speak but held back.Vivian lifted her gaze and met Jesse’s probing look. She unconsciously raised a hand to touch her face. “Mr. Grant, you keep staring at me. Is there something you want to say, or do I have something on my face?”She had been staying here these past few days, watching over Keith. The moment any news surfaced, she would be the first to know.There was still no word from Autumn. She was probably already dead in the river.How wonderful.With that thorn finally removed, marrying into the Sinclair family was only a matter of time.The thought alone made her smile.She planned t
The moment she thought about Dennis coveting her best friend, Selena felt her anger surge uncontrollably.She had to confront him and demand why he did this, and whether Vivian was the one pulling the strings.Just as she was about to rush for the door, Bowen grabbed her and spoke calmly. “Selena, calm down first. If you charge in like this, he’ll never admit anything.“You’ll only alert them. Worse, they’ll turn it around and accuse you of slander.“If they call the police and have us taken away, it won’t be worth it. We need another way.”They both knew exactly what kind of person their uncle was—a shameless rogue through and through.With no solid evidence, relying on a single birthmark to accuse him, he would deny everything to the end.Rushing over like this would not only get them nowhere, it could hand them an excuse to accuse them of defamation.But Selena had already lost all reason. She struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Bowen’s grip.“Brother, let go of me. I’m go
Compared to Selena’s agitation, Bowen remained calm, able to analyze the situation carefully.After years of fighting his way through the business world, he did not earn that composure for nothing. Long ago, he learned how to keep his emotions hidden.Selena lowered her head and thought it over again and again, then shook it. “I really don’t know. With Autumn’s personality, she rarely offended anyone. Other than Luna, the only one I can think of is the heiress of the White family.“Because Keith liked Autumn, Vivian always disliked her. She never targeted her openly, but the way she looked at Autumn always made me uncomfortable.“Brother, do you think it could have been Vivian? This kind of operation isn’t something an ordinary person could pull off, but the White family could.”Over the past two days, she calmed down a great deal and thought through many possibilities. This had to be a premeditated kidnapping.Yet up until now, they received no calls or messages from the kidnappers,
After two consecutive days without any news of Autumn, Selena panicked completely. She barely ate and hardly slept those two days.Dark circles ringed her eyes, stark and obvious, and her whole body looked utterly worn down.Her already slender frame seemed even more fragile now, as if a single gust of wind could blow her away.After hanging up Keith’s call, they reported it to the police, but two days passed with no updates at all.There were no leads and clues, nothing to follow, as if Autumn had vanished from the face of the earth.The police came by several times, yet there was still no reliable information, only a growing sense of unease.Whoever did this was far too meticulous, leaving behind not a single trace. It was maddening.But aside from waiting on the police, there was nothing else they could do. Not only was the surveillance at Cloudview damaged, every camera across the city that night was taken out.There was nothing left to investigate.The police were helpless too, gr
“Then our next move was the old hag from the Sinclair family. You needed to find a way to move into the Sinclair household and help me get rid of that bitch.”If Dorothy had not opposed his mother and Keith’s father, Laidman Sinclair, back then, his mother would not have died young, and he would not have grown up an orphan.If he had been born into the Sinclair family, none of the suffering that followed would have happened.The more glorious Keith’s life looked now, the deeper his hatred ran. Everything Keith possessed should have belonged to him.Just because that old woman refused to accept his mother, despising her low status, Laidman was forced to marry a woman from a powerful family.If his mother had not been born into poverty, how could that overwhelming fortune ever have gone to Keith?He grew up in an orphanage, enduring endless bullying. After being adopted by the Jensen family, he became nothing more than a tool.From childhood, he was forced to learn every possible skill.
