Chapter 368

Author: Lightmoon
Marisol's phone buzzed and vibrated like drumbeats against her heart, filling her with an ominous sense of dread. Her hand trembled slightly as she answered the call.

The moment the line connected, Silvia's anxious voice came through immediately. "Ms. Marisol, can you get to Castela as soon as possible? Something's happened to Ms. Emilia!"

Her head filled with a roaring sound. Fighting off waves of dizziness, she gripped the nearby table for support and forced herself to speak.

"What... What happened to Great-aunt Emilia? Is she..."

There was a pause on the other end.

"I'm so sorry. I did exactly what you asked and carefully monitored Ms. Emilia's phone messages.

"I didn't notice anything suspicious, but this afternoon she had lunch with some old friends. On the way back, she looked unwell and made a phone call.

"I overheard part of it. She seemed to be asking about the connection between that Muller child and the Sorensen family. She collapsed before she could even hang up. She

    After giving the scene a cursory glance, Marisol nodded slightly to Nick and headed in that direction. She had no interest in socializing at this party. Her plan was simple: retrieve the pendant from Nevaeh and leave immediately.As she made her way across the room, Nick exchanged a few polite words with the people surrounding him, then followed at a respectful distance behind her. When Nevaeh spotted her approaching, she smiled and released Lucian's arm, turning to walk away from the group.Marisol frowned and quickened her pace to follow. But as she passed by Lucian, she caught sight of his hand reaching toward her in her peripheral vision. Instinctively, she stepped aside and hurried forward several more steps.At the same moment, Nick, who had been following behind, suddenly picked up his pace and moved closer. His shoulder collided with Lucian's as the other man seemed about to pursue Marisol. Neither man backed down, standing their ground in the aftermath of the contact.The

    Hearing the seriousness in Marisol's voice, Silvia became more alert. "What's happened?""I'm not entirely sure."Since this was mostly speculation on her part, Marisol hesitated before continuing, "I've been having a string of bad luck lately. Just consider this me having terrible nightmares and being overly paranoid."I'll pay you separately for the extra trouble, and I'll explain everything to Great-aunt Emilia beforehand."After a moment of silence, Silvia replied, "Don't worry, Ms. Marisol. I'll keep a close eye on things.""Thank you so much."…On the evening of the dinner party, Marisol selected a sophisticated black evening gown with artistic swirl patterns. She gathered her dark hair into an elegant chignon held with a pearl-tipped pin and applied understated makeup that highlighted her natural grace."Are you sure about this?" Alinta looked worried."I have to retrieve that pendant no matter what. Leaving it in Nevaeh's hands puts me at too much of a disadvantage, a

    Having probably guessed that Marisol wouldn't attend the dinner party, Nevaeh sent her a photograph the day before the event.The picture showed a white stone pendant. Marisol recognized it immediately, but it should have been around Andre's neck. Why was it in Nevaeh's possession?Her expression darkened considerably.When Emilia had returned to the country a while back, she'd met Andre and taken an instant liking to him.She'd gone to great lengths to source rare smooth white stone material, personally designed the pendant, and commissioned a craftsman from the Wright family to carve it by hand. She'd even had it blessed by a priest at the local cathedral.All of this was meant to ward off evil and protect Andre, ensuring his good fortune and lifelong health throughout his days. Yet now this precious item was somehow in Nevaeh's hands.Considering Andre's obvious affection for Nevaeh, this probably wasn't theft. The boy had most likely given it to her willingly.Marisol took a

    Orion squeezed her hand tighter. "I just like being with you, Mommy.""Don't you like me?" Alinta's plaintive voice drifted from behind them, startling the little boy.He pouted slightly. "Aunt Alinta, you scared me again."Alinta had insisted on the "Aunt" title. From her perspective, since the child was calling Marisol "Mommy", and she and Marisol were practically sisters, becoming his aunt was only natural.Between her warm, outgoing personality and Marisol's gentle encouragement, it hadn't taken long for Orion to accept her. Now, even when Marisol stepped away briefly, he wouldn't run off with Alinta watching him, which was an enormous relief.Watching the playful chaos unfold between them, though it was mostly Alinta chasing the giggling boy around the house while he pretended to escape, Marisol couldn't help but smile. Her expression grew warm and content.She found herself wishing time could freeze right here in this perfect moment. Then she shook her head, wondering why s

    However, the travel restrictions hadn't been lifted yet, and Marisol had received no updates or feedback. She had no idea whether those men had even been caught. It was as if nothing had ever happened.As a chilling possibility dawned on her, Marisol felt her blood run cold. Her anger crystallized into sharp clarity."You're absolutely right about not calling the police. We don't know who might be protecting her, and if we can't land a decisive blow, we'll just tip our hand."It would only expose her position. From all appearances, Nevaeh probably still believed she was oblivious to the whole affair. That meant Marisol was operating from the shadows while Nevaeh remained visible.Now that she was on guard, she held the advantage.After thinking it through, Marisol transferred a million-dollar retainer to her hacker contact and asked him to investigate the entire Sorensen family from top to bottom. She wanted information on everyone, no exceptions.She was convinced that Nevaeh's
