Kelsey's car slowly rolled into the warehouse compound. The headlights cut through the evening darkness before the engine came to a stop. She stepped out, closed the door quietly, and looked ahead to see Ramon walking toward her. She had driven straight from Ivory Mansion to the warehouse. Even though Ramon had told her not to bother coming because he would handle everything, she wanted to be involved. After all, this had everything to do with her. "He'll move your car away from here," Ramon said softly, signaling Magnus to come forward. Kelsey understood his intention and stepped aside. There was nothing to question. Everything that needed to be said had already been discussed over the phone. The woman might become suspicious if she arrived and saw too many cars parked outside, especially Kelsey's. "Let's go in," Ramon said as he turned. Kelsey followed beside him. "There is something we should do first," she said as they walked into the warehouse. Ramon stopped an

Savannah didn't answer Kelsey's question immediately.Instead, she looked at her as though she had just heard the funniest joke in the world.A soft laugh escaped her lips. "You really don't know."Kelsey held her gaze. "I wouldn't ask if I did."Savannah slowly began walking around the chair. The sound of her heels echoed through the silent warehouse."You look just like her." She stopped behind Kelsey. "The same eyes. The same calm expression. The same irritating confidence."Kelsey frowned. "Those have nothing to do with the question I asked."Savannah smiled."Margret." She said the name as though it left a bitter taste in her mouth. "I hated her."The warehouse became quiet again.Laura looked from one woman to the other, hardly daring to breathe.Kelsey spoke after a moment. "You hated my mother.""Yes.""But that doesn't explain why you want me dead."Savannah slowly walked back until she stood directly in front of Kelsey. "It explains everything.""No." Kelsey calmly shook her

Bang!The gunshot echoed through the warehouse."Ah!"Savannah cried out as a sharp pain shot through her wrist before she could shoot Kelsey.The pistol flew out of her hand and slid several feet across the concrete floor.She staggered backward, clutching her bleeding wrist in disbelief.Everything happened so fast that the masked woman froze. Laura herself screamed loudly in fear and ran to hide in a corner.The next second...Men dressed in black rushed out from every hidden corner."Don't even think about it," Magnus said sharply to the masked woman as she snapped out of her shock and reached for the gun at her waist.He walked over and snatched the gun from her while another man picked up Savannah's pistol from the ground.Savannah found herself surrounded.More than twenty guns were aimed directly at her.There wasn't a single escape route left.Savannah's eyes widened. She slowly turned in every direction before her gaze landed on Ramon."Mr. Holloway," she muttered in shock a

Ruby left Mary sitting alone in the dining room before quietly walking out. She didn't look back or care to see her reaction. There was nothing more to say.Mary's words had only confirmed what Ruby and Kelsey had already suspected. It was better to warn her and let her know that she understood the game she was playing.As Ruby made her way toward the staircase, planning to look for Jason upstairs, she suddenly saw him coming downstairs. She stopped where she was, not wanting to meet him halfway, especially since his mother was walking down beside him."There you are," Jason said, his eyes lighting up the moment he saw her. "You were taking too long. I was just coming to look for you.""I didn't think I took that long," Ruby replied, trying to remember how long she had actually been talking to Mary.Their conversation had been very brief, so she didn't think she had stayed long enough for him to come looking for her."I want to freshen up and change out of these clothes," Jason said,

The warehouse remained silent after Kelsey's words.Mr. Bianchi stared at her with his brows raised, his gun still pointed at Savannah."Do you understand what you're saying?""Yes." Kelsey stepped forward, her eyes fixed on him before shifting to Savannah, who was still clutching her bleeding shoulder. "I know what she has done. I know she wanted me dead. But I won't kill her. She will face the consequences of what she has done."Mr. Bianchi shook his head. "She will come after you again.""Then I'll deal with it if she tries again," Kelsey replied.Mr. Bianchi chuckled."You're being too soft." His voice carried a hint of amusement. "In our family, weakness can get you killed.""I'm not part of that family," Kelsey countered. "In my life, I decide what kind of person I want to be."Mr. Bianchi's expression turned cold. "You are making a mistake. Sending her to the police won't stop her.""I'll worry about that myself," Kelsey said, looking straight into his eyes.The old man stared
