The ships navigated through the waves, and the sea soon swallowed up all traces of them.But what about the traces in the heart?…Biarus.When the group arrived on the island, they immediately rushed Joseph to a hospital and had him examined. The results left Tamara furious, wanting nothing more than to blow up Nammu Bay.Joseph had multiple broken bones and even more bruises all over his body. He looked like a mummy when he was brought out from the operating room.Tamara composed herself when she saw Joseph regaining consciousness. “Hey, Joseph.”Joseph winced. “Hey, Tammy. You’re here…”He searched the room for Margot and finally calmed down when he saw her standing by the side.“Why didn’t you stop her, Tammy?” sighed Joseph helplessly.Tamara clicked her tongue in response. “Do you think she would listen to me? Besides, you’re no better than her. How could you just leave for Nammu Bay without any warning? Do you know how dangerous the place is? What if…”Tamara choked. Sh
Tamara’s phone rang.Tamara answered the call and immediately heard Helena’s excited voice from over the line. “Tammy! I got some clues on the killer!”Tamara paused. She went over her memory and finally remembered what Helena had been up to. Tamara straightened up. “Really? What clues?”Helena buzzed with excitement. “Thanks to the DNA we discovered, I was able to link them to the murderers, and they are all illegal immigrants. No records of their nationality or names are in the database. They had snuck into Clacton, but I did manage to catch one! Regardless of what I did, he stubbornly kept his mouth shut! Do you have any idea on how to get him to talk, Tammy?”Tamara pursed her lips. “As a matter of fact, I do. Meet me at Cesterfield Villa.”Helena hummed, “Right away!”When Tamara got off her phone, she saw the questioning look Sebastian was giving her. She told him all about Jessica.Sebastian thought for a moment. “So you’re saying James was outstation when Jessica was mur
Helena returned to the hideout excitedly. It was where she had locked the man up. Upon her return, Helena immediately took out the scented tea leaves and used them on the man.The man had a look of disdain on his face. He continued glaring daggers at Helena.However, after a short while, the man’s expression twisted into one of agony. He struggled against his restraints and bared his teeth at Helena. “What was that? What have you done to me?”Helena remained silent. She took a few steps back and observed the man’s reactions.The scented tea leaves were running their course.The man was in immense pain. He gritted his teeth and bit back a laugh. The veins on his forehead and neck bulged, and his eyes turned bloody red.The man suddenly yelled as if he was letting out his pent-up emotions.Helena stood by the side, amazed at how powerful the scented tea leaves were. She started, “Tell me what happened that day! There’s more of this if you don’t start talking.”The man stared angr
Sebastian chuckled lowly. “Dinner is ready. Come down and eat.”Tamara nodded.Downstairs.Tamara saw Helena waiting for her on the couch when she came down. Helena looked shaken up. Tamara asked worriedly, “Helena? When did you arrive?”Helena snapped toward Tamara when she heard her voice. Helena jumped up. “Tammy, the man is dead…”“He’s dead?” Tamara was surprised. “How did he die?”Helena told Tamara everything. Tamara grew serious as the story went on.“It seems the person we’re dealing with is a tough one. They would even hire assassins,” stated Tamara.Helena widened her eyes. “Assassins?”“Yes.” Tamara took a seat on the couch. “Only an assassin could kill someone without leaving any traces behind.”Tamara couldn’t help but think of James.But she quickly shook the thought away. It couldn’t be James. James wasn’t that kind of man.“What should we do now? He was our only hope.” Helena was dejected.Tamara pondered over it. “It’s fine. We should give it some time. I
“Mom…” whined Joseph.Although Cheryl was sneering at Joseph, she was still careful when feeding him. “Stop talking and eat.”Joseph sighed.“Hello, Aunt Cheryl,” greeted Tamara. Sebastian trailed closely behind her.Cheryl smiled warmly at Tamara. “Hello, Tammy. Did you have enough rest?”Tamara nodded. “Yes, or I wouldn’t be here, right?”Cheryl laughed. “That’s good to hear. I was getting sick of looking at this embarrassment of a son.”Tamara forced a smile.She could see the concern behind Cheryl’s cheerfulness.Tamara took the food from Cheryl and sat by the bed. She fed Joseph slowly and said, “Don’t take Aunt Cheryl’s words to heart, Joseph. She’s very worried about you.”Joseph grinned. “Don’t worry. I know what she’s thinking better than anyone.”Tamara nodded. “That’s good,” she thought to herself. She didn’t want there to be any misunderstanding between him and Cheryl.Sebastian gave Joseph a hard look. Then, his gaze landed on Tamara, and annoyance flickered ac
Camilla left the hospital in a hurry. She looked as if she was running for her life. She finally came to a stop when she reached the outside.Why did she apologize?Camilla laughed mockingly at herself. She had just gone against her words.In Londsville, back when the Moore family was there for a brief visit.Ever since the situation between Camilla and Jayden, she had avoided him like the plague.She even prepared her two weeks’ notice.However, her mother came to her the next day.Josephine slapped Camilla across her face. “Your school called yesterday and informed me that you were leaving the research institute, and you’re opting to graduate right away? Are you insane? Do you know how well-paid the employees at the institute are? You can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars whenever you submit your research data. We’re poor, Camilla. Do you think you can find a better job than this?”Camilla’s head snapped toward the side. She blinked before giving Josephin
“Mr. Moore.” Camilla tightened her grip on her suitcase. Although she still looked as cool as a cucumber, her heart was pounding hard against her chest.Did Jayden come to welcome her personally?Jayden walked over. “I was afraid you wouldn’t find your way. So here I am. Let’s get to the car.”Camilla nodded and trailed after Jayden silently. She carefully kept their distance.Camilla was following Jayden with lowered gaze when he stopped dead in his tracks. Camilla bumped into him.“Sorry! I wasn’t looking…” Camilla apologized profusely. She was anxious about Jayden’s reaction.Jayden turned around and saw how nervous Camilla was. He stated indifferently, “Why are you nervous? Are you afraid I would eat you?”Camilla flushed bright red. She avoided Jayden’s gaze unconsciously.Jayden snorted. Although his voice was as warm as always, his words had an underlying hint of mockery. “You don’t have to go to such great lengths to get my attention. I’m not interested in women like yo
Camilla went to open her suitcase. She took out the data reports from within and handed them to Jayden.Jayden took it and headed for the door.Camilla shut her suitcase. “I’m only here on an errand. Since my work is complete, can I leave now?”Camilla’s voice was icy cold. She gave Jayden an indifferent stare, hoping he couldn’t see past her disguise. When in actuality, her heart was bleeding.Everything Jayden said was like a knife piercing through her. It took all her willpower to stop her tears from falling.Due to her upbringing, Camilla was used to holding her tongue during any and all confrontations.Jayden furrowed his brows slightly. He stated indifferently, “You can only leave after I’ve finalized the results.”With that, he turned and left for the door.Camilla panicked. She recalled her mother’s words.Her brother’s surgery fee…A million dollars.The man misunderstood her, but there was nothing she could say to change his mind.Since that was the case, why can’
