Previously, Charlotte was certain that Lorraine was the person who had hired those assassins, but upon hearing Hans’ opinion, she was swayed.‘That’s true! No one cared for Lorraine more than Jebediah. Lorraine is pregnant with Jebediah’s baby too. Why would she kill Jebediah?‘Maybe someone else is behind all of this?‘Maybe Lorraine’s fight with me at the police station wasn’t an act? But a result of her devastation over Jebediah’s death?’“Regardless of who it really is, this person must know you like the back of their hand. Furthermore, they are extremely sinister. I believe that this person will not rest until they have achieved their objective. I’d advise against leaving the house for now and don’t go to the studio either. You don’t want to risk getting hurt again…”Hans continued rambling on and on.However, Charlotte wasn’t listening. She simply stared absent-mindedly into the dark world outside the car. Her vision gradually blurred.Charlotte fell asleep before the car

At Prestige Residence…The large, luxurious gate was shut tight. The air around the house was dark and gloomy, implying that a death had just occurred in this house.A security guard approached Zachary’s car as soon as it arrived. “Mrs. Valentine says that she wants to be alone and won’t see anyone. Please leave.”“She won’t even see Master Zachary?” Lucas poked his head out the window.The security guard looked frightened.“Master Zachary? Which Master Zachary are you referring to?”Lucas’ expression sank. “How many Master Zachary-s are there in Rothesay? He’s the very same one who would strike terror into your heart. Are you going to open this gate or not?”“Uh…” The security guard glanced at the back seat, but the car windows were heavily tinted. It was difficult to see who was inside.“Even if it really is Master Zachary in there, I can’t let you in. How about this, you can wait here, and I’ll go inside and ask Miss Larson.”He turned around and entered the villa through a

The coded door to the interrogation room was tightly closed. Charlotte saw three police officers and two men inside after Officer Zimmerman scanned his face to open the door.The two men’s hands were cuffed together on a chair. Charlotte inferred that they were the murderers caught by the police.“How’s the interrogation going?” Officer Zimmerman asked as he entered.An officer said, “They’re very stubborn and reluctant to disclose anything. Both of them said that no one hired them. They said that they retaliated against Jebediah because of the grudges they had against him. But who would believe that?”“That’s right, if this was a pure vendetta, they could have just killed Mr. Valentine briskly. Why bother going to Ms. Simmons’s house to steal a gun, abduct her and take her to the hospital, and create all these fake impressions just to blame it all on her? This clearly means that their employer wanted to kill Mr. Valentine and have Ms. Simmons go down for it!” the other officer add

“Officer Lyndon was a good officer. However, even a good officer like her was threatened into committing multiple homicides in the precinct. This shows that the people who threatened her must be powerful.”Officer Zimmerman continued after drinking a sip of tea to moisturize his throat. “I believe that the person who threatened Officer Lyndon and the culprit who instigated the two murderers to kill Mr. Valentine and frame you are the same person. However, the two murderers and Officer Lyndon have all died, which means that all the leads we had on hand are now lost. Given the circumstances, we’ll never be able to solve the case.”Thinking about it made Charlotte feel extremely unreconciled with this.‘Not only did the culprit behind the curtain hire the killers to kill Jebediah but they also murdered the two killers and a policewoman one after another in order to conceal the truth. This person is indeed very vicious.’However, she believed that no matter how well that person hid, th

“Mommy, the sun is already shining on your bum, but you’re still sleeping!”Charlotte was shaken out of her dream.Opening her bleary eyes, she saw that Naomi was laying on her body, pinching her nose with her fingers. “Stop sleeping, little slacker!”“Naomi...” Charlotte rubbed her head. “Didn’t you go to school? Why are you home so early?”“Who told you that it’s early? Wake up, it’s almost six o’clock already!” Naomi’s voice sounded like a church bell in Charlotte’s ears.Charlotte grabbed her phone and took a glance at it. Sure enough, it was already 5:56 in the afternoon. The sky was already on the brink of turning dark, and she was lying on the sofa. The evening sun shone in through the French windows and made her whole body look like it was bathing in blood.Jordan was standing by the sofa, looking at her and Naomi with a smile on her face.She spoke at that moment. “A lot of things have happened recently. I know that you’re quite tired. I saw you sleeping on the sofa aft
