The shame of rejection engulfed Liora, filling her with bitterness and causing her eyes to turn red.She stood with her head low, caught between the decision to stay or leave.Chester sighed at the sight before him. "Lia, I'm truly sorry. My words may have wounded your self-esteem. But I believe love is sacred."I like you, Lia, and I sense your feelings for me as well. However, I think we should take the time to truly understand each other before committing to a relationship."What are your thoughts? If not, prolonging this will only lead to greater pain.""You're right," Liora replied, suppressing her sobs. "I respect your perspective."Despite Liora's words, Chester didn't feel relieved. Her tears pained him, but he knew he had to stand by his decision. The present hurt was preferable to the potential agony of a breakup.After a brief hesitation, Liora announced, "I'll go to the washroom first, then we can head to the shop.""Okay—" Chester's sentence was cut short as Liora

Some spirits briefly observed the scene before departing, seemingly oblivious to Liora's presence.Then, a girl with two braids entered the store.Liora assessed her with a quick glance, noting the bruises on the fair skin of the girl's neck, evidence of a recent strangulation.Approaching Liora, the girl met her gaze with a calm stillness in her eyes. "Spirits Wishing Hall. Is it a place where spirits' wishes are granted? Are there any prerequisites?"Liora clarified, "There are only two conditions. I do not assist with illegal activities, and you must accompany me to Cross Chapel after I fulfill your wish."The girl seemed uncertain. "You don't require payment?""Why would I need money from the underworld?" Liora countered with a smile."Fair enough. It's a deal," the girl agreed.Turning her attention to Isaac, who remained cradled in Chester's arms, Liora nudged him. "Close up shop. Our customer for tonight has arrived."Isaac vehemently shook his head. Clutching onto Ches

Liora listened to Kenny and closed the store. She asked the driver to drive Chester home first before she and Isaac returned home.Isaac grabbed Liora before they entered the villa. "Lia, I want to go with you tomorrow."Liora asked, "What day is it tomorrow?""Sunday!" Isaac exclaimed. "How could you forget about the day?"Liora agreed, "Okay, I'll take you there. But you can't go with me if it's school hours."They got into the villa.Tyler and Axel were still sitting in the living room.When Tyler realized that both Liora and Isaac had gotten home at nearly 1:00 a.m., he wanted to scold them.But Axel beat him to it and held him back. "Lia, Isaac, have you guys finished your work?""No," Isaac answered quickly. "We'll get real busy tomorrow. Lia is going to crack a case." "Crack a case?" Tyler frowned. "What kind of case?"Isaac looked at Liora, wondering if he could tell them. Liora ignored him and explained what had happened that night."If that's the case, I know

The trio embarked on their journey.Just as they settled into Reese's car, a bodyguard wheeled Chester to the entrance of the funeral parlor.Observing silently, Chester witnessed Liora entering another man's vehicle.-Nearly an hour later, they reached the River Neighborhood.Reese parked the car and surveyed the residential area before turning to the others. "Do you have any description of the suspect?""It's easy, but you better not treat me like a fool later," Liora said while glancing at Reese. Reese was confused. "What do you mean?" Liora kept quiet, so Reese turned to Isaac in search of an answer. Isaac said, "Lia is going to ask Uncle Kenny. Please don't ask who Uncle Kenny is, Mr. Gates. Don't intervene later when my sister starts speaking on her own."Isaac was even proud of Liora's ability. Reese scratched his head. "Alright then. Do what you have to do."However, Reese was caught off guard when Liora called out 'Uncle Kenny' loudly right in the car.He fo

Liora said, "So, you killed Juliet and the child out of anger because you were cheated on?"Brian said, "Initially, my intention wasn't to end her life. All I desired was for her to terminate the affair and build a fulfilling life together with me. I wanted to forgive her. Yet, she told me that she wanted to continue the affair and that she didn't love me anymore. She wanted me to set her free so she could be with that man!"In fact, she told her daughter I cheated on her first and that I treated her that way. The child looked at me like I was the enemy. I raised her for six years, and I got that unforgettable look in her eyes in return! So, I strangled Juliet and her daughter to death in a rage."Reese asked, "Where are the bodies?""In the freezer. I dismembered her and fed her internal organs to dogs." Brian got up and walked to the bedroom. "If you don't believe me, I still have the evidence of Juliet's affair."Reese followed Brian immediately and watched Brian grab his phone
