"I understand," Evander immediately nodded. Someone must have instigated Polly's sudden resignation, likely for a substantial payoff to take such a big risk. If they could trace the money to its source, it would largely clear Sophie of suspicion."Mr. Carlson, where to now?" Evander asked."To the villa," Cedric replied, his expression contemplative.'To Vivienne's place?' Evander was somewhat puzzled by this response but swiftly drove toward Vivienne's villa.-Upon hearing the car, Wendy hurried to open the door. Seeing Cedric's tense demeanor, she asked uneasily, "Mr. Carlson, what brings you back?""I need to collect some of Tristan's belongings," Cedric stated as he entered, surveying the space with a critical eye.Wendy moved aside, asking, "Which items shall I gather for you, Mr. Carlson?"Cedric wasn't in a hurry to reply and calmly sat down on the couch. "Wendy, you've been employed here for nearly six years, correct?""Yes, it will be six years in two more months."

"She should be afraid," Cedric replied, his voice hoarse and icy.Wendy's fear suggested that Vivienne was equally unsettled."I understand," Evander acknowledged, grasping Cedric's implications, and accelerated into the night.Wendy peeked cautiously from behind the window and waited until Cedric's car disappeared. She then called Vivienne. "Ms. Kerrigan, Mr. Carlson was just here.""Did you do as instructed?" Vivienne's lowered voice came through the phone."Yes. After your instructions, I placed the medicine in my room," Wendy confirmed, momentarily forgetting Vivienne could not see her nod. "Ms. Kerrigan, is Mr. Carlson suspecting something? He inquired about my hospital visit.""Don't panic. Follow my instructions, and don't worry about anything else. And I warn you again, we're in this together. Neither of us can back out." Vivienne's cold tone abruptly ended the call. Clad in a patient's gown, her figure radiated malevolence, her fingers clutching the phone tightly.'Tris

"I understand." Sophie nodded, a smile masking her growing suspicions.Given Melissa's past attempts to harm her pregnancy with Cherry, considering her capable of hurting Tristan now was not far-fetched.Observing Sophie’s fatigued face, Mrs. Carrie voiced her concern, "You should rest too.""I'll just make a phone call and then rest."Mrs. Carrie discreetly left, allowing Sophie privacy.Sophie unlocked her phone and scrolled through her contacts, finally dialing a number."Hello, I’m Sophie Luxford."The man’s voice betrayed surprise. "Ms. Luxford, why are you... To what do I owe this call?""Mr. Harvey, it’s been many years since we last spoke. I need your help with something. Remember, I referred you to Madam Carlson as her investment consultant. You're still handling her financial matters, correct?""Yes, you introduced me to a valuable client. May I ask why you’re calling?" His tone was cautious yet polite.Sophie cut to the chase. "I need information about Madam Carlso

"Yes, I’m interested in Serenus Villa on Panthalasa Avenue. I spotted it listed on your website," Sophie said, swiftly displaying a picture of the property on her phone to the agent. "This one.""The detached villa, right? It's been on our listings for about a month. The property market is quite competitive, and the villa you're eyeing has been sold," the agent replied with a smile after a quick glance at the photo."Are you certain it's been sold?""Yes, I handled that sale myself. I remember it distinctly." The agent beamed with pride, recalling the sale. That villa was among their most expensive listings, expected to take a long time to sell. Surprisingly, it sold within days of being listed, earning me a tidy commission.Noticing Sophie’s look of disappointment and assuming her continued interest in the area, he suggested, "I can show you several other properties in the vicinity if you're interested?"After a moment of consideration, Sophie nodded and followed the agent to his

'The 20,000 dollars isn't a large amount, but coupled with the ownership of a villa, it could be a game changer," Sophie contemplated, piecing together the emerging puzzle in her mind.-At the hospital.Cedric's face was flushed, interrupted by sporadic sneezes.Dr. Zegler, his longtime physician, was concerned. "Mr. Carlson, I warned you five years ago that even a mild cold could escalate to a high fever. You need to take better care of yourself."Reflecting on Cedric's history of persistent high fevers since his near-drowning incident years ago, Dr. Zegler was puzzled by his current condition. "I’ll have the nurse arrange for your admission.""No need for hospitalization, just an IV will suffice," Cedric insisted."For a regular patient, an IV might do the trick. But given your condition, even a simple cold and fever could escalate into pneumonia. You should be more cautious." Dr. Zegler was clearly unconvinced."I know my body's limits. Just hook me up to the IV," Cedric in

Ascending to the fifth floor, the person assigned to keep watch respectfully opened the door for Cedric.Polly's complexion turned pale at his entry."Mr... Mr. Carlson?" she stuttered, her panic palpable. Her hands were nervously twined behind her back, and she avoided his gaze.Cedric sat opposite her, his frosty eyes briefly surveying her before he spoke in a sharp tone. "Who told you to do it?""I don’t know... what you’re talking about, Mr. C-Carlson," Polly stammered, her distress clear."On the day of my grandfather’s birthday party, you deliberately led Tristan into the ladies’ restroom, knowing Sophie was there. Tell me, how much did Vivienne pay you for this?" Cedric demanded, his eyes narrowing.Polly began to tremble, eventually collapsing to the floor in terror."I didn't know anything would happen to Tristan! Please believe me!" she pleaded.She insisted she would not have accepted the task if she had known the extent of the consequences."Who was your accomplice

As Sophie exited the elevator at her company, Linda's assistant approached her. "Ms. Luxford, Linda and Ms. Archer have called to say they won’t be in the office today.""Understood."Upon entering her office and setting her bag on the couch, Sophie promptly dialed Jeanna's number. Though Melissa was a suspect, Sophie's primary concern remained on Vivienne.After a few rings, Jeanna answered. "Sophie babe, we’re going from hospital to hospital right now.""Are you having trouble finding information?" Sophie surmised from Jeanna's tone that their search was not progressing well."Yes, even though there aren’t many self-paying patients, it's still challenging without photos or additional details for identification.""Then try the radiology department.""Why didn’t I think of that? Linda and I are heading there now," exclaimed Jeanna, ignited by the suggestion. With newfound clarity, her previously muddled thoughts began to clear. If Vivienne had taken Tristan to a hospital, there

After Evander concluded, Jeanna's expression softened a bit, her hostility diminishing slightly. "So, he is somewhat capable."Evander considered bringing up that these instructions were all from Cedric while he received an IV but decided against it.-After comparing hundreds of CT scans throughout the day and night, almost to the point of nausea, they finally narrowed it down to three scans closely matching Tristan's injury.Sean noted the hospital name on the CT scans with a hint of a smile on his tired face. "Interesting, they’re all from City Hospital.""I'll go with Jeanna to speak to the attending doctor there. You guys should check the surveillance footage from around that period. Call us if anything comes up," Linda said, still sharp despite being up all night.Evander glanced at her, his expression showing a hint of admiration."That's not a great division of labor. There's a saying, 'Men and women working together make tasks easier.' I want to be with Jeanna," Sean de
