“Mr. Zimmer, think carefully. Is there any chance one of the staff slipped in here while you weren’t paying attention?”Fiona was a workaholic. She spent far more time at the company than she did at home.When it came to matters at the estate, she had handed almost everything over to Mr. Zimmer.Mr. Zimmer scratched his head, desperately trying to remember. He looked so stressed he was about to pull his hair out.Lucas’s cold gaze stayed fixed on the two of them.Were they putting on an act, or was the birth certificate really gone?“I remember now!”Mr. Zimmer slapped his forehead and said excitedly, “Ms. Shaw, someone else has been in this room besides us. Zac Carter.”Zac Carter?Fiona’s and Lucas’s expressions both changed.“It was about six months ago. Zac suddenly came to the estate and said he was here to pick up an antique pendant for you. He said it was going to be donated to a nonprofit. I was going to open the safe and get it myself, but Zac couldn’t describe exact

“Lucas, why won’t you believe me? I’ll really get it back this time.”“Fiona, can you stop making a scene?”“I’m not making a scene. I’m serious.”Lucas was running out of patience with Fiona’s stubbornness.He gripped her shoulder hard, intending to push her aside.Just then, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.That ringtone was the one he had set specifically for Ivy.Ivy rarely called him unless something urgent had happened.Lucas’s heart tightened.He could no longer be bothered with Fiona. He quickly took out his phone and answered.“Ms. Quinn?”Mr. Grant’s anxious voice came through from the other end.“Lucas, this is bad. Ms. Quinn was attacked on her way home and got into a car accident. She’s being taken to the hospital right now. Are you done with your business? Get to the hospital as soon as you can.”“Okay. I’m on my way.”Lucas agreed without the slightest hesitation.He hung up, and the thought of Ivy’s uncertain condition made his chest burn with anxie

Fiona grew irritated by Zac’s shouting.She raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.Smack.The sharp sound echoed through the living room.Zac felt the sting on his cheek, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He even forgot to struggle.“F-Fiona?”Fiona’s expression was colder than he had ever seen it. The way she looked at him was as if she were looking at a dead man.“Are you sober now?”Zac forgot how to react for a moment.He still hadn’t recovered from the fact that Fiona had slapped him.Fiona’s gaze turned dark.“Tell me. Where is Lucas’s birth certificate?”Lucas’s birth certificate?Zac’s pupils constricted.He lowered his head, avoiding Fiona’s eyes, and stammered, “Fiona, what birth certificate? I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”His acting was terrible.Fiona saw through him at once.It seemed that after leaving the entertainment industry, even his acting skills had gotten worse.Fiona’s patience was gone, and she didn’t want to waste

The birth certificate was buried at the bottom of the pile. Because it was inside a hard protective sleeve, it hadn’t caught fire yet.But the papers on top were already burning, and the heat scorched Fiona’s hand the second she reached in.She was wearing a knit cardigan, the kind that caught easily around open flames. The sleeve near her wrist ignited at once.Fire licked across her pale skin.A sharp, searing pain shot through Fiona, but she didn’t stop.She moved fast, recklessly shoving the burning papers aside to reach the sleeve underneath.The bodyguard and Mandy rushed in a few steps behind her. When they saw Fiona’s cardigan catch fire, their faces went pale.“Ms. Shaw!”“Get water from the kitchen. Now!”Fiona stomped at the flames while sweeping the papers away. At last, she managed to snatch the birth certificate from the fire.She clutched it tightly against her chest.By then, her cardigan was burning across her upper body. For one terrifying moment, she looke

Serena was a little worried about Miles.Ever since they had come back to Jasper City, Miles had seemed off. He always looked weighed down, as if something was on his mind.But every time she asked, Miles said it was nothing.Serena felt a little hurt.Sure enough, her little brother had grown up. He had his own secrets now, things he wouldn’t even tell his sister.When they were children, he had been so attached to her.Miles noticed the worry on Serena’s face, and his heart softened.If possible, he wanted things to stay this way forever.Serena treated him well. In many ways, she had been both a sister and a parent to him.This rare warmth was something he didn’t want to lose.Miles’s eyes darkened.I’m sorry, Lucas, he thought. But this was the only way.*When Lucas arrived at Ivy’s hospital room, Mr. Grant was already there.Ivy lay on the bed, her face completely drained of color. A thick bandage was wrapped around her head, and she lay there silently, without movi
