Lahat ng Kabanata ng Too Late to Regret: Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 210

Charlie pondered for a few seconds.Then he nodded, “I’ll have Rex drive you there.”She had her own friends and her own circles she wanted to integrate into—he had no reason to stop her.“Alright, then I’ll trouble Rex again.”Candice didn’t refuse.After all, there was still a lunatic on the loose. No one knew where Mia had fled. Having Rex along brought her much-needed peace of mind.She stepped outside.“Mrs. Davidson…”Charlie muttered the title to himself, feeling like he had heard it somewhere before.Back home, Candice chose a mint-green evening gown—light and elegant, perfect for summer.She did a fresh, subtle makeup look, pinned up her long hair, and picked a necklace that was classy without being ostentatious.When she came downstairs, Rex was already waiting by the car.“Candice!”He waved at her.

Candice slowed her pace, feeling conflicted—should she intervene or not?Just as she was debating with herself, a middle-aged woman in a slightly plump figure and a formal dress walked out from a room. With a wide smile, she approached a woman who was chatting eagerly with her, all charm and flattery.As they walked together, they approached the mask room.“…That person—”Beatrice noticed Candice in the corridor.The moment their eyes met, Candice felt an odd sense of familiarity, like a memory long forgotten, with its edges barely visible but still evoking something deep in her heart.At first, Candice thought, Forget it. I already have enough of my own problems to deal with, why should I worry about others? She had planned to quietly report this anonymously, but now, seeing them looking at her, coming towards her… she couldn't ignore it.It seemed like fate.She sighed and walked over, gr

Charlie thought back—At the time, he’d just glanced at it briefly while speaking with someone else.And since the name listed was Mr. Davidson, it had only sparked a vague sense of familiarity that he didn’t fully connect.“Edward, something’s come up—I have to go.”Without waiting for a response, Charlie hung up.He stood and walked out, dialing Candice’s number as he went.No connection.He immediately called Rex.“Go into the banquet hall and check if anything’s wrong. I can’t get through to Candice.”Rex, who had been leisurely gaming in the car, instantly replied, “On it.”“Send me the address.”“Got it.”Charlie glanced at the address.While heading down in the elevator, he also had someone investigate the private club’s background and who had been invited tonight.&m

Was the "naïve madam" referring to her?Had this beautiful girl who looked like Rosie deceived her?Now that she thought about it, the warning about the hallway conversation and the golden mask—all of that was just this girl’s word.But… the part about the phone not working was true.What was going on?Around them, the crowd was abuzz with murmurs.The Tarot Madam’s first reading had scared someone into collapsing.Now the second—this time delivered aloud—was cutting and direct.Even if a few guests recognized Candice’s identity, most didn’t... but they all wanted to see her unmask.Sophia was so furious she nearly charged forward—Fine! If this was a trap, she’d go down fighting!But Bianca yanked her back, covering her mouth.And despite her dainty appearance, she was surprisingly strong—Later, Sophia would marvel that this seemingly delicate beauty, who usually looked one harsh word away from fainting, had more strength than her.At that critical moment, even Caroline—who normally

Mrs. Davidson had just been explaining things to Charlie.But when she saw his face change drastically after answering a call, she grew so anxious she didn’t dare breathe too loudly.“Mr. Clemens, listen to me—”“Shut up.” Charlie’s gaze was sharp and icy. “Answer me now—does the estate have a swimming pool, pond, lake, or anything like that, inside or out?”His look was so intense it was terrifying. Mrs. Davidson was stunned speechless for a moment before she stammered, “Y-yes… there’s an indoor pool on the first floor, and a lotus pond in the garden… nothing else.”Charlie immediately dispatched a team to check the pool.He himself rushed toward the lotus pond.Since the emergency call had gone through, it was very likely someone had already reached the outside—which matched Mrs. Davidson’s earlier claim that her mother had “already left.”As he made his way out, one of his men reported the signal jammer had been destroyed.Charlie called Rex.At that moment, Rex was on the phone wi
