Lain’s gaze was icy, his hawk-like eyes staring at Noa as though he were a judge giving a verdict. It was obvious that he didn't trust her. However, Noa was unable to simply say Mya’s name at this point. She spoke with precise accuracy while maintaining a steady stare. "Mr. Lors, I didn't kill Mona that evening. I'm hoping you can locate the evidence, but I don't have any." A chilly smile curved Lain’s lips. "Don't you think that's a bit rich, Noa?" Noa didn't dispute it. "It is, indeed. However, rich irony has characterized my entire existence.” Everything had been unbelievably ridiculous since Joshua and Zoya followed that fortune teller's advice and abandoned her. No reasoning. For no reason. The mistreatment she had received from the Streep family and all that Mya had caused her to go through... She couldn't even tell who. And who would genuinely believe her if she did? An ex-convict who even her own parents didn't want would not be trusted. The world was at her feet, and

Noa suddenly let out all of the tears she had been keeping back. As she assisted in drying them, Misty grinned. "Look at you, all grown up, but you still cry at the drop of a hat." Noa cried. "Mrs. Nash, I'll come visit you again soon." "Of course you will." Misty nudged her in Czar’s direction. "My dear, you'll always be Troy and my pride and joy." Noa felt a sharp, restless aching in her chest that felt like claws raking at her ribs from the inside. She didn't realize what was struggling to escape until she was seated in the car: her dignity. Her value to herself. She had nearly forgotten that she had once been proud until Mya destroyed her world. She rolled down the window and glanced back. Elegant in her plain outfit, Misty stood framed in the doorway, waving in the golden light. They were transported back in time for an extended period of time. She recalled being brought here for the first time by Hugh. Misty had stood in that exact doorway to bid him farewell after dinn

As if hit by lightning, Noa’s thoughts went absolutely blank. "What did you say?" She grabbed David by the collar and rushed forward, pushing Damon out of the way. "Is Elodie still alive? Is she truly alive? Are you telling the truth to me?” David stumbled and said, "Yes, she's alive." He inhaled tremblingly. "Mya did want the child dead when she came to me a year ago. However, I was unable to follow through,” He laughed bitterly. "Come on, that's the daughter of Czar Holland. Mya could easily hide her traces if someone found out and looked into it, but me? I wasn't about to throw my life away for this, so I told them Elodie had contracted an infectious disease and needed immediate cremation. Instead, I took a corpse from an orphan. Mya simply asked me to spread the ashes since she was too anxious about exposure to check." Noa looked into David’s eyes. She saw relief, dread, and desperation, but no deceit. "So, where is Elodie? Where is my daughter?" For now, Noa was impatient

Noa’s first thought was of all the recent human trafficking cases that had been widely reported. "Let go of that kid!" she yelled as she hurried forward without thinking. With all her effort, she grabbed the young girl and pulled her away from the man. However, the man's eyes brightened upon seeing her. "Honey, where are you trying to take our daughter?," he said, glancing at the elderly woman next to him before they both abruptly let go of the child and seized Noa. “Mom and I had been searching all over for you." "Honey, our daughter's still so young," he said, breaking down in tears. “Please don't take her away from us, whatever I did wrong, we can correct it at home. Without you, we could not survive." "It's all my fault. I'm just a stupid old woman," said the elderly woman who was standing next to him. “If it weren't for my big mouth, you two wouldn't be arguing. Look, I'll go down on my knees and beg you to stay with him. I promise not to say anything negative about you again

"You're Lynette’s lawyer?" Noa appeared perplexed. The Downey family most likely couldn't afford Lain’s services given their income. "Yeah." Lain seems to read her mind. "Aire often takes on pro bono cases—you know, helping people who can't afford legal fees but are facing serious situations." Noa gave him a sidelong glance. She never would have imagined that this heartless, cold-blooded man who mistreated her could be such a kind attorney. "Mr. Lors, why are you telling me all this?" They hardly knew one another well enough to engage in casual chat. And shouldn't case details be kept private as a lawyer? "So you don't go around playing charity when you can barely take care of yourself." Why was he telling her this? "What does 'playing' mean to you? I really want to help her if she has nowhere else to go. I really do mean it.” Because she hoped that someone would be generous enough to assist Elodie when she was in need—until she could locate her. Lain halted his steps and
