The answer became clear the moment they entered the station.Charlie was already there.The instant he spotted Martin, years of frustration exploded out of him."Officer!" He nearly jumped out of his chair. "They're the ones!"He jabbed a finger toward the Laurent family."They took my money!"His face flushed crimson as his voice rose."I paid them two hundred thousand dollars! They promised to marry their daughter to me. That was my entire life savings!"The room fell silent.Then Charlie completely lost control."You people are rotten!" he shouted at Martin. "You took my money and set me up!"His face twisted with rage."You're all going to hell!"Several officers exchanged glances while the color drained from the Laurent family's faces.Martin felt a hot flush spread across his neck. In all his years, no one had ever humiliated him like this. For a brief moment, he genuinely wanted to cross the room and punch Charlie in the face.A few of the younger officers were already fighting

That night, Isabella stayed with Vessara for hours.She told story after story—stories about the baby Vessara had once been, stories about the family that had searched for her for years, and stories about memories Vessara herself had never experienced.For the first time in her life, she felt something unfamiliar.She felt like she belonged.While warmth filled the Barclay household, chaos reigned in the Laurent family.It was nearly midnight by the time Jason secured Martin and Claire's release on bail.Selena stood beside him, her eyes swollen from crying.The moment her parents stepped out of the station, she rushed forward."Uncle. Auntie." Jason let out a tired sigh. "You both need to be more careful."He shook his head."I had no idea what was happening until Selena called me in tears and said Vessara had gotten the police involved."The memory of Selena's trembling voice still lingered in his mind.At the same time, anger simmered beneath the surface.Vessara had somehow turned

Early the next morning, Razen was already seated in the manor's grand living room, waiting for the Fox-Masked Doctor's arrival.Eventually, voices drifted in from outside.Razen rose from his seat, only to see two figures walking in arm in arm."Jason, this is my first time visiting Lakeside Manor. You're so good to me."Selena Laurent smiled sweetly as she leaned against him.Jason Valdis grinned."Of course. We're going to get married one day. What's mine is yours."A cold voice suddenly cut through the room."So when exactly did Lakeside Manor change owners?"The temperature seemed to drop instantly.Jason froze.An invisible pressure settled over him, so overwhelming that he couldn't move.Only fear remained."U-Uncle Razen..."Forcing a smile, he turned toward the source of the voice.What greeted him was a pair of icy eyes.His heart skipped a beat.Razen spoke slowly."Jason, you haven't answered my question."His gaze sharpened."When did Lakeside Manor become yours? As the ow

Downstairs, Vessara found the living room completely empty.Relief immediately washed over her.Perfect.She could leave without attracting any attention.Unfortunately, fate seemed determined to ruin her plans.The front doors swung open, and Selena walked inside."Seriously, there wasn't even anything interesting in the garden," she complained, rolling her eyes. "Just a few roses. Do these people have nothing better to do?"Still muttering under her breath, she looked up—and froze.A silver fox mask had appeared directly in front of her.Selena nearly jumped out of her skin.By the time she recovered, Vessara was already walking past her.Without thinking, Selena reached out and grabbed her wrist.Vessara stopped.Slowly, she turned around."Is there something you need, Miss?"Her altered voice remained calm and emotionless."If not, I'd like to leave."Selena immediately turned to Jason."Jason, are all the doctors in your family this arrogant?"Her eyes reddened with grievance.Th

After ending the call, Razen rubbed the bridge of his nose. His thoughts drifted back to the incident outside the Laurent villa. Shortly afterward, he had ordered an investigation into Vessara. The results had been surprisingly sparse. Other than the fact that she had recently been released from prison, his people had uncovered almost nothing. At the same time, Vessara sat by the window in her apartment. Golden sunlight streamed across the room. Even her mood seemed lighter. Roy's voice continued coming through the phone. "Boss, too much time has passed." His tone carried frustration. "We tracked down the traffic surveillance footage from that year." A pause. "Unfortunately, it's badly damaged." Vessara remained silent. Roy continued. "There should've been eyewitnesses at the scene as well. Our people are currently trying to locate them." "Mhm." Vessara twirled her pen across the document in front of her. Her focus gradually returned. "Send me the footage." She narrowe
