Chapter 1

Moments later, louder voices of doubt erupted across the city square."This can't be! How could Winnie Grant be a cop!""It has to be fake! Someone like her doesn't deserve to wear that uniform!"Tyler Lowell's expression was dark as he ordered the technicians to verify immediately whether the memory source had been tampered with.Sylvia Grant, my younger sister, walked to his side and gently took his arm.She spoke up in a voice that was soft and laced with careful hesitation. "Tyler, this must be some trap she laid before she died. She was always good at pretending, wasn't she?"Why don't we stop watching? I'm worried… I'm worried you might waver…"Tyler pulled Sylvia into his arms. He let out a scoff, with disgust clear in his eyes."I've seen Winnie's tricks plenty of times. Even if she dressed up as a saint, she still can't wash away my comrades' blood that stains her hands!"He looked down at Sylvia and softened his tone, saying, "Silly, you're the only one I love now. N

The scene shifted, now showing the lavish homecoming banquet from last time.Beneath the sparkling chandelier, my father, Nelson Grant, wrapped an arm around my shoulder and proudly announced, "This is my long-lost daughter, Winnie Grant!"The moment he finished speaking, the doors of the banquet hall burst open with a kick.Tyler, who was dressed in his police uniform, stormed in with his team. His expression was hard and frosty.While holding an arrest warrant in his hand, he fixed his sharp gaze on my father and said, "Nelson Grant, you're suspected of manufacturing and trafficking drugs. Come with us."With a click, a pair of cold handcuffs was locked around Father's wrists.When Father was being led to the police car, he suddenly fought back like a madman. In the chaos, an officer's gun went off by accident.Hot blood splattered all over me, and I felt my mind go blank and completely numb."That's the drug lord's daughter!"It was unclear who made the first move, but a mo

The memories continued to play. By this time, I had become Lucas' trusted confidante.In the current scene, I was directing several coerced children to different drop-off points. I grabbed the smallest girl and shoved a crumpled map into her sweaty palm.My voice was low and urgent as I said, "Remember, take this route. Only this one. Or else, your mother dies."She nodded frantically, biting her lip to keep silent.…The square burst into an uproar."That monster! She used children!""Is she even human? She's absolutely insane!"Someone threw a water bottle at the screen, the smack echoing across the square.The next scene showed the events that happened hours after I had sent the children off. Lucas' roar came through the phone. "Winnie! How the hell did you handle things?"That girl had walked straight into a police ambush and was caught red-handed with the evidence.Someone in the crowd voiced out their doubts after watching this. "There were so many routes. How did sh

Tyler stared intently at Sylvia. "Where's the USB drive?"Sylvia's face turned ashen immediately, and her tears came on cue."Tyler, Winnie tried to give me drugs. How could I trust any information she gave me? I was afraid it was a trap set by Lucas!"She wept, and her voice trembled. "I was scared something would happen to you. I can't live without you…"The crowd in the square was swayed by her act once again."Ms. Sylvia is right! You can't trust a single word from a drug dealer!""She was protecting Captain Lowell!"Tyler gazed at her. His eyes were swirling with a storm of emotions. In the end, he pulled her close again, as if trying to convince himself.The scene abruptly shifted, showing a cargo ship in international waters.Tyler, disguised as a buyer with a baseball cap, appeared at the deal. When I saw him, my heart skipped a beat.I forced myself to stay calm as I approached. When I passed him, I whispered urgently, "What are you doing here? It's a trap! Get out!"

The helicopter's door was yanked open all of a sudden, and a figure stepped out against the light. It was Sylvia.She wore an immaculate white Chanel suit, and her makeup was flawless. In contrast, the deck beneath her feet was stained with blood.She walked straight to Lucas' side, hooked her arm through his affectionately, and smiled at me."Surprised, my dear sister?"I was pinned to the freezing deck by two other drug dealers and was soaked to the bone. Blood and rain washed into my eyes, stinging and painful.The me in the footage was clearly stunned too. Then, a few seconds later, realization dawned.I asked Sylvia, slowly and deliberately, "Why?"She bent down and dug her blood-red nails into my chin, squeezing hard until my jawbone ached.Her voice was soft and gentle as she repeated, "Why? You dare ask me why?"Winnie, I was living perfectly fine as the Grant family's daughter! Then, you came back, and suddenly I was the daughter of a drug lord, despised by everyone

Chapter 6

All of Tyler's attention was locked on the footage playing on the screen.The scene returned to the cargo ship.Sylvia clung to Lucas' arm, looking down at me with a twisted smile. "Winnie, you're so naive. Did you really think I didn't notice those little moves you were making?"She pulled a recording pen from her handbag and waved it in front of me. "Having those kids lead the way and deliberately sending one into a police ambush—you thought that was so clever?"And that USB drive you gave me? Tsk, tsk! It was surprisingly thorough."Lucas stepped in, stomping on the hand the mastiff had mauled and grinding down with his heel.I let out a muffled scream as my body convulsed in pain.Lucas laughed cruelly. "Winnie, oh, Winnie. If it weren't for Sylvia, you'd still have me fooled. I wondered how the police always seemed one step ahead. Turns out I had the best snake hiding right beside me."He crouched down, grabbed my hair, and forced my head up."Talk! Who else on this ship

Chapter 7

Lucas' men suddenly stopped what they were doing.Lucas raised an eyebrow. "What? Having second thoughts?"Sylvia shook her head. She leaned close to Lucas' ear and whispered a few words.Lucas paused for a moment, then burst into loud laughter. He waved his men aside, walked up to me, and tilted my chin up with the tip of his boot."Oh, Winnie. Your sister is more vicious than you. And smarter too!"He patted Sylvia's cheek approvingly."Winnie, if you die today, Tyler will hate you with every fiber of his being. As for Sylvia, she'll become his only comfort, the one person he trusts most. She'll stay right by Tyler's side as my perfect spy."Lucas' laughter echoed across the deck. "Don't you think that's just perfect?"My teeth were chattering, but Sylvia was smiling proudly and triumphantly.Lucas unclipped the gun from his belt and tossed it to Sylvia. "Since it was your idea, you get to send her off. It just so happens to serve as your pledge of loyalty."The gun was hea

Mr. Fields stepped onto the stage and took the microphone from his assistant. He then looked up at the giant black-and-white portrait of me."Initially, Ms. Winnie's identity was to remain sealed forever. It was the department's highest classified secret."His heavy voice carried across the entire square through the speakers."However, we cannot let our hero suffer false accusations, nor can we let her bear the blame after her death."Sylvia, who had collapsed on the ground, went white at the sight of Mr. Fields. She knew it was too late for her.Mr. Fields turned to Tyler, then to the thousands of citizens filling the square."Now, let me tell you what Winnie was really like."The entire square fell frighteningly quiet as they listened."Winnie Grant was the top-ranked cadet at the police academy. She ranked first in every subject and had the brightest future ahead of her."The year she graduated, I asked her personally if she would accept a long-term and dangerous undercover

Chapter 9

My soul floated in mid-air, watching as Sylvia collapsed to the ground. She scrambled toward Tyler on her hands and knees, clutching his pant leg."Tyler, I was wrong! I know I made a mistake! Please, save me!"Tyler slowly lowered his gaze to the woman at his feet. Then, he raised his hand.A loud smack landed hard across Sylvia's face. She flew backward, rolling twice on the ground before spitting out a mouthful of blood.The entire square fell deathly silent.Sylvia held her swollen face and stared at Tyler in terror.Tyler didn't speak. He just walked toward her, step by step."Stay away! Don't come near me!" she screamed, crawling backward on the ground in a pathetic mess.Tyler crouched down, grabbed her hair, and pulled her face close to his. His voice betrayed none of his emotions as he spoke slowly, each word deliberate."13 lives, Sylvia. On top of that, one unborn child and the woman I loved most in this life."He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Sylvia,
