LOGINWhile Justin was busy dealing with the mess at SummitCore, he was taken away by the police once again.But this time, he wasn’t getting out.SummitCore had only ever been a decoy we threw out. If it managed to cost him a fortune, all the better, but its real purpose was to draw his attention.While he was tied up with it, we tracked down his collaborators—a group of desperate criminals.From what Sarah recalled, Justin never avoided taking calls about work or his affairs in front of her. But no matter how closely he kept an eye on her, there was always a fixed time when he would avoid her and take a video call.Following that lead, we found a way to tap his phone and uncovered evidence of his contact with those criminals, then reported it to the police.Once arrested, a group like that had no reason to protect him; they were eager to reduce their sentences. Just like that, Justin’s repeated hiring of hitmen, resulting in deaths and serious injuries, was dragged into the open.I wasn’
I looked around the desolate villa complex before pressing the doorbell.The one who opened the door wasn’t Sarah but Justin.He stared at me with a cold smile.“Celeste Shaw, you and your brother really are ruthless. I just wonder—once you fall into my hands, will Leon Shaw still dare to cause me trouble?”With that, he signaled the men behind him to grab me.I took a step back. My bodyguards, several times their number, surged forward at once, surrounding me.“I’m not an idiot. If I knew something was off, why would I come alone?”Whether it was Sarah disappearing for days and suddenly contacting me, or those strange words she’d said on the phone, none of it added up.I knew Justin wasn’t righteous, and the fact that I still came meant I had prepared for this.“Where is Sarah?”Justin sneered, refusing to answer.I lifted a hand, signaling my guards to hold them off, and walked inside. It didn’t take long to find Sarah in one of the bedrooms.Her belly had grown, but she looked even
“Sarah, you’re carrying my child. Where do you think you’re going?”The door slammed open as Justin stormed in.He looked at me.“Celeste Shaw. First your sister, now Sarah. I knew it. You’re a vicious woman.”I let out a cold laugh.If I could actually break them apart, I’d be earning myself sainthood and he still had the nerve to call me vicious?“Oh? Which part did I get wrong?“Aren’t you the one thinking of one woman, keeping another by your side, and flirting with a whole lineup on the outside?“How does someone get this filthy and still lack any self-awareness?”“You should watch your mouth.”His voice dropped, dark and threatening, exactly like in the dream, when he had someone run my brother over.Rage surged. I grabbed the vase from the table and smashed it over his head.Justin froze for a split second until blood ran into his eyes.“Celeste Shaw, just you wait!”Held back by security, he roared at me.My heart skipped, but I forced myself to hold his gaze.“Maybe you shoul
After working at Shaw Group for a while, I looked at the latest financial report, profits up by a third, and couldn’t stop smiling.Compared to constantly watching the male and female leads, seeing the numbers climb and the business steadily expand gave me far more peace of mind.And as the company grew stronger, the glow around my family gradually faded as well.Everyone except my brother.I stared blankly at the suddenly bright green “light bulb,” forcing myself not to swear.I’d only stopped following him for one day.What kind of mess had he gotten into now?“Did you run into Sarah yesterday?”He froze, staring at me in shock.“How did you know?”Then he launched straight into complaints:“I was just driving along normally, and she suddenly rushed out from the side of the road again.“Luckily it was raining, so the driver was going slow. Otherwise, it would’ve been a serious accident.“And we didn’t even hit her, but she just collapsed right in front of the car. What kind of situat
At the rest of the banquet, Sarah was distracted, missing several notes.My sister, a trained pianist, finally couldn’t take it anymore. She replaced her at the piano and played a few pieces herself, earning a full round of applause.Sarah stood off to the side, watching, looking more and more like she’d lost her soul.“The way she plays… doesn’t it look a lot like me?”She suddenly asked from beside me.I didn’t turn around.“My sister is better than you. She was personally selected by a master as a promising candidate for the Chopin Competition.”With talent like hers, she should have had a brilliant future, yet in the dream, her hands were ruined, and she could never play again.Thinking of the way her eyes lit up whenever she talked about piano, I felt my disgust for Justin deepen.Watching Sarah leave in a daze, I decided it was time to push things further.“Hey, come take a walk with me. I’m getting bored.”I took my sister’s hand and led her toward the pool.If I remembered corr
At the banquet, I wasn’t surprised to see Sarah had been invited to play the piano.The green glow around my brother was still there.Honestly, it would’ve been stranger if she’d just disappeared like that.What I hadn’t expected was that Sarah and Justin had already crossed paths.After all, in the dream, this was the point where he and my sister were supposed to be inseparable.I raised a brow as I watched Sarah pinned against the wall outside the ladies’ room, being forcefully kissed.Maybe because my sister had never left the Shaw family, and never grew closer to him, he couldn’t hold back anymore and found a stand-in to ease his longing.His idea of love really was cheap and excessive.I deliberately made my footsteps louder. The two of them sprang apart like they’d been shocked.Justin shot me a warning look.“Don’t tell your sister.”I hadn’t planned to respond, but seeing the tension in his expression, an idea struck me.“Of course not. She’s just a placeholder anyway. I’m look
