Carl pulled her into his arms and said, "Don't cry, Pheebs. Everyone has their own destiny." What bullshit! I didn't believe in that rubbish, yet my fate had played such a huge prank on me. It had turned me into such a harbinger of misfortune. I saw the slight smile on Carl's face. He seemed to be pleased that I was dead. He and the rest of them surrounded my body. Silence descended upon them as they looked at my photo and urn. Gary said grimly, "Holly called me this afternoon and told me she was going to die. She wanted us to have one last meal with her."

… One day, I suddenly saw the news on the television. "The Jones family was murdered. None of the family members lived." My heart skipped a beat. I then saw a photo of my family on the screen. "It is reported that the murder was committed by Susan Jones, the wife of the old director of Jones Group..." None of them survived. Charles, Derek, Samantha, Jenson, and Susan—all of them died. "Mrs. Jones left a suicide note, claiming that this was done for her daughter Celine..." I could no longer process the words I heard after that.

"Where do I sign up to play a role in this drama?" "Wow, the world is one giant novel." I couldn't let them steer the narrative off course. It was time to deploy the army of paid comments.

But I stay in place, my shoulders back and my chin held high. “You killed all of them?” he seethes I give him a shrug. “Maybe not all of them, but definitely killed Beta Dorian.” He rears back in surprise. His eyes roam over me and his lips set in a hard line as if he is trying to come to some conclusion about me. “Maybe you did, maybe didn’t,” he whispers, his eyes growing hard. “Why are you here, then?”

Thing that caused Death Compiler to rage. "What escaped? How did she escape? And why did she do that? I thought she wanted to die so she committed suicide and broke my list! Now she merged with the others? Humans are so demented! " In her anger the whole room really shook as if things will not last long from the very strong presence of the Death Compiler.

The clink of cups, the quiet conversations. Daniel leaning forward across the small round table. Our lives have been affected so badly by him… Then— The crash of cups shattering. The men entered, the dagger. The blood soaking through Daniel’s shirt. I swallowed hard. Robert’s voice pulled me back to the present. “You were there when he died, weren’t you?” I didn’t answer. His gaze sharpened. “I imagine it must have been traumatic.” My voice came out colder than ice. “You wouldn’t know anything about that.”

They only see each other at family dinners during holidays. At that moment, the reason for their pretense was dead, and they no longer had to keep up appearances.

He is most likely dead. You can still use your phone. Does that mean that you aren't actually dumb? I miss working with you!]

” “It's about what you asked me to find out.” My brows squinted because, honestly, at that point, I couldn’t remember anything. I couldn’t even think straight. He must’ve noticed this as he proceeded to explain more clearly. “It’s about Mr. Rob, Alpha.” "Yes, what about him?” I noticed a slight hesitation in his demeanor before he finally opened his mouth. “I believe Mr. Rob has a hand in the death of Miss Elena‘s parents.” He spilled. My body jerked up immediately, my eyes widening in deep shock.

When he heard this, Ross widened his eyes and said in surprise, “Judy, you’re really a genius! Why didn’t I think of it!” “What are you talking about, team leader?” Judy said in confusion and praised herself. “But I’m really a genius!” Ross took a deep breath and calmed his excitement, then he looked at the screen and said, “I always felt that something was wrong. I thought it was because Harriman got into the prison van, but after the problem with Keenley was solved, I still felt that something was wrong. Judy’s words reminded me.
