"Easy, sir! It wasn't us—your wife told us to clear them out. She lit the fire herself." Bruce's eyes went glassy. He just stood there, frozen. "She burned them?" His voice cracked. "Yeah. Said you weren't coming back, so why bother keeping them." He flashed back to that courtyard—roses everywhere. No wonder they looked familiar. He'd planted those for her. She'd chopped them down, handed them to Julie... then torched the rest. He let go, stumbling back like the wind got knocked out of him. "You okay?" the gardener asked. "Should we replant something?"

"Lately, everyone at the office seems to be getting married. Last night, I saw Mr. Floyd's Instagram post. He's getting engaged! "It's no surprise that Mr. Floyd and his girlfriend are a perfect match. I heard they're childhood sweethearts. "Back then, I was wondering who could ever melt his heart. He's so stoic! Now, I know better. It could only be his first love!" Suddenly, I found it hard to smile. I checked my phone and realized that Vernon had blocked me on his main and alternate Instagram account. Vernon's main account was for personal use. After he left the apartment last night, he blocked me on Instagram right away.

“Biónico with mango, papaya, strawberries, and extra crema. I added granola. You look like you got big meeting energy.” “You get me,” Minnie grinned, dropping a five in the tip jar marked for Bad Bunny tickets. Outside, the sun was too bright, her nerves too jumpy. She sat for a second in her car, gripping the warm drink, her fingers tapping the cardboard sleeve. Big meeting. Big donor. Big opportunity. The kind of day that could shift everything.

Ruth said smoothly. Freya opened her mouth to argue, but Ruth cut her off coldly, adding, "I hear that for the past few days, you've been fed Bloodswallow Herb, Skyreach Root, and Frostbloom Lotus. Do you know how much those rare herbs cost? Before you leave, you will repay everything you've taken from Fred. Only then will you be free to go." This time, Freya said nothing. She bit her lip hard, clearly unwilling to accept the situation.

" He pulled out a copy of a property deed. "The fire occurred at Sunny Gardens, a neighborhood in the old district. This particular neighborhood was initially slated for redevelopment by the government authorities. However, changes in urban planning and the high costs of compensation for the residents resulted in the authorities' decision to abandon the plan. "It just so happens that Mr. Porter's family owns a house in the neighborhood. The evidence suggests that this has been a calculated move on Mr. Porter's part to receive compensation from the authorities. He deliberately set a fire to force the authorities into proceeding with the redevelopment plans.

"That's…" The moment she realized what it was, she called my phone. It didn't connect because I had already blocked her. As Meryl and Kara watched the video in disbelief, they slowly let go of their hands that had been supporting Jackson. Then, they rushed to find people who knew me. "Where's Adam? Where did he go?" Someone who had seen me answered, "He applied for an international exchange program and moved out of the dorm long ago. Didn't you guys know?"

" She begged endlessly, but one glance was enough to see she had not truly repented. I could not be bothered to keep going in circles with her. I turned around and walked back into my hospital room. The case against Vivian progressed smoothly. Callum was busy running back and forth. Unexpectedly, Julian appeared at the hospital entrance. There was barely an uninjured patch on his body. His spirit had collapsed until he looked nothing like himself. "Stella..." As he spoke, he scattered those photos onto the ground and personally set them on fire with a lighter. "Look. None of the photos will exist anymore. You never have to worry again." He seemed to be smiling and crying at the same time.
