Chapter 152

Penulis: Lightmoon
"Let me see," Lucian said. Without caring whether Andre was willing or not, he took the lantern from him. He examined it from all angles, paying special attention to the hand-painted cat on top.

Just as he thought—it was nearly identical to the lantern he'd seen in Nolan's phone photo, especially the cat painted on it. Elizabeth had been an artist, and growing up around her had given him a keen eye for artwork.

The brushwork and style were unmistakably from the same artist—simple strokes, but rich in technique and depth. This was the work of a very talented painter.

However, he remembered that the one in Nolan's photo had more animals painted on it, and it was clearly the better piece. This one only had a single cat, which made sense—no one gives away their best gift.

After admiring it for a few seconds, Lucian casually tossed the lantern back to Andre and said flatly, "You better return the favor. It's only polite."

Andre caught it, slightly annoyed by Lucian's carelessness, b

    Outside, the morning sun blazed brilliantly against a crystal-clear sky. Marisol squinted toward the bright light, momentarily blinded. For a second, it felt as if she were looking at the world through someone else's eyes. She stood still for a beat before snapping out of it and getting into her car.The courthouse was just over 40 minutes from the hospital, so she had planned to leave early.Before starting the engine, she glanced at her phone. The time read: 7:32 am.Roughly three hours remained until her hearing....Meanwhile, at Crimson Oaks Estate, Lucian emerged from his front door wearing an impeccably tailored black suit that emphasized his naturally commanding presence. He strode confidently toward his waiting car, though today his usual driver, Zayne, was nowhere to be seen.Just then, another car pulled up beside him. When the window rolled down, Zayne met his gaze. Lucian gave him a subtle nod, and the two vehicles rolled out, one following the other.In the secon

    The sun dipped low on the horizon, crafting a sky full of brilliant streaks of orange and pink.Outside the gates of Everton University, Julius had a bag slung over his shoulder. The soft waves of his hair caught the fading sunlight. His handsome face was full of reluctance as he looked at her. He asked, "Marisol, are you really leaving tomorrow?"She patted his shoulder and said, "Yeah. Once the court wraps up tomorrow and the results are out, I'm flying to Aeredale. After that, I'm not sure when I'll be back."Today marked the start of Julius' new semester. Since she had already made up her mind to leave and knew she wouldn't be returning anytime soon, Marisol had asked him to join her for dinner. Since his university was starting classes today anyway, they'd decided to swing by campus afterward so she could drop him off.After all, who knew when they'd see each other again? That thought alone tugged at her heart, and her expression began to grow wistful.After more than 20 ye

    Zayne mentioned several names that sounded unfamiliar to Lucian. "What's the issue?"Zayne nodded. "It's a big one. These people seem unrelated, and most are even individual investors. However, when our people traced further, we discovered that all these purchased stocks ultimately ended up in the same account. The account holder is..." He slowly enunciated a name. "Candice Stevens."Lucian was stunned. "Candice Stevens? Isn't that Ronan's chief secretary?"Now, this was interesting. Their top executive went missing, and instead of stabilizing the company, the major shareholders immediately started dumping their stocks. Meanwhile, his direct secretary was quietly sweeping up those shares behind the scenes.What kind of game were they playing?Wait, a game? Lucian's eyes gleamed with a flicker of clarity as he suddenly smiled and nodded to Zayne. "Call back all the people we sent out and just leave a few to search casually."Zayne was taken aback. "Sir, you mean..." Lucian

    In the basement, Ronan received a reply within moments of sending the message."Don't go too far."He smiled and shook his head, typing back line by line. "I know, I know you're worried about her.""But she probably doesn't need us to worry. I haven't even lifted a finger yet, and she's already covered most of the tracks."With that mindset and those methods, I'm starting to wonder if she's done this before."The other party ignored his teasing, and a new message appeared on the screen."When are you planning to surface and wrap this up?" "No rush," Ronan replied leisurely. "Theodore can't hold down the board. Once the chaos hits its peak, I'll use the opportunity to root out and clean up those ambitious wolves and parasites in leadership. "As for whoever attacked me this time..."He paused to think before adding, "My collaboration with your team has created competition, so plenty of people are getting antsy. Who knows which one couldn't sit still and made the first move?

    Thankfully, from what Marisol had learned during this time, Orion was a boy who kept his promises and trusted her deeply. Once he agreed to something, he wouldn't go around spilling secrets.The Verdant Woods neighborhood was tucked away in a remote part of town. Daily life there was inconvenient, which was why most of the villas remained empty and sales had been slow. Even though it was daytime, the streets were quiet, with no one in sight.Once inside the villa, Marisol sent Orion upstairs to the second-floor bedroom. She put on a cartoon for him, promised to be up in 30 minutes, and locked the door behind her before heading back down. ...In the basement, Marisol took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Her gaze met that of the man leaning against the wall.Ronan was already awake. His face was still ashen, but his eyes filled with amusement. He said, "You came."Marisol nodded silently, carrying over a folding table. Then, she placed the nutritional meal she'd bought fro

    At Franco Tech, several people huddled together in the office, each clutching laptops while reviewing the constant stream of incoming information and files."Alinta Gardner?" Lucian spotted one particular name. He frowned slightly as he looked toward Zayne and asked, "She was there too?""Who's that?" Seeing him show curiosity about another woman, Nevaeh's attention immediately shifted over."One of Marisol's friends," Lucian replied casually. Nevaeh was taken aback and quickly pulled up this person's information on her computer to review it.Meanwhile, Zayne explained, "I already checked her out. She was there that day to mediate a financial dispute case, and the police station has records of the call. I had someone examine her car this morning too, and there were no traces of blood."By now, Nevaeh had finished reading the file and dismissed it. "She probably wouldn't dare do something like hiding someone."Marisol was already such a pushover, so how impressive could her friend
