'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

Linda took out her cell phone and pulled up a photo from the album. "Dr. Brook, could you please take a closer look and see if this is the child in question?"Upon realizing he might have revealed too much, Dr. Brook quickly changed his tone. "I just told you they were wearing masks and caps, so I can't remember very clearly. If you're not here for treatment, please leave. There's a long line of patients waiting behind you."The nurse unceremoniously kicked them out, and Jeanna gnashed her teeth. "He just stopped all of a sudden! How infuriating!""It's okay, we're almost certain it's Vivienne now. Let's see if the two men found the surveillance footage." Just as Linda finished speaking, Sean and Evander emerged from the elevator.Sean even waved flirtatiously at Jeanna, a gesture that rendered any questions she had.-At Luxford Group."Vivienne must have noticed the lump on the back of Tristan's head and seized the chance to blame Sophie. This shameless woman is truly wicked."

The truth must be thoroughly investigated, but they must not ignore their health just to clear Sophie's name earlier."Soph is right. We three are beauties endowed with both wisdom and allure. After a good sleep, we'll be as capable as Sherlock Holmes himself."Linda, let's hurry back and grab some beauty sleep. As our looks improve, our brains will naturally follow suit."Linda could not help but smile, but she still looked a little concerned as she glanced at Sophie. "Ms. Luxford, you should go back early too.""Yeah," Sophie said.After seeing the two off, Sophie did not leave but instead sat back in her chair. With furrowed brows and tired eyes, she stared at the continuing playback of the video. 'What have I missed? Why can't I find any clues in this footage?'-"Mommy, you're finally back! I was waiting for you until I was so hungry that I ate first." As soon as Sophie entered the house, Cherry threw herself into her arms, playfully revealing her chubby belly while glancin

"Mommy was being lenient, allowing you to hide properly before starting to count..." Sophie chuckled as she explained, but then something crossed her mind, and she froze.Alarmed by her sudden stillness, Cherry looked up and asked, "Mommy, what's wrong?" However, Sophie seemed unaware of her question, desperately trying to grasp the fleeting thought.After some time lost in thought, excitement suddenly lit up her face. 'How could I be so forgetful?! It's just like this game of hide-and-seek. I only considered the agreed-upon count of 10, but I totally forgot there was more time before that.'"Mommy?" Cherry called out tentatively."Cherry, you are truly the best daughter Mommy could ever ask for." Sophie snapped back to reality, squatted down, and pulled Cherry into her arms.Last time, it was Cherry who had told her about Tristan's eye condition, and this time, it was also Cherry who helped her find the missing piece of the puzzle.Cherry was startled by her sudden change in e

Mrs. Carrie tried to recall but then felt embarrassed as she could not remember meeting the person they were discussing. "Ma'am, I'm sorry. I might've remembered it wrong.""It's okay," Sophie reassured her with a smile. As long as they found this person, the truth would be revealed.-The entire X Corp. was pitch black, except for the CEO's office on the top floor, where the lights were still on.Cedric frowned as he stared at the paused surveillance footage. "Have you found out who this person is?""Yes, Mr. Carlson. Do you still remember Alfred Ripley, who used to be a driver for Madam Carlson? This woman is his mother, Liora Ripley." Evander handed over a photo of a family of three.Cedric glanced briefly at it, instantly grasping the situation. His tone, initially cold, now dripped with sarcasm and disdain. "She really knows how to pick her pawns.""Yes, this old couple is different from Alfred. They're quite honest and not greedy. The only thing that could make them disreg
