Erin looked at the translated text and asked Samson, "Who would have a personal grudge against Yvette? I mean, could it be someone in the entertainment industry?"Samson replied, "Although she didn't get along well with other female celebrities, it wasn't to the extent that they would confront or kidnap her! Yvette only had work-related interactions with the male celebrities.""Then it's strange. Who could have a personal grudge against her?" Jill wondered.Without mincing his words, Ryder added, "Well, given Yvette's personality, it wouldn't be surprising if someone wanted to seek revenge against her."Samson's face turned grim at Ryder's words."Ryder, this isn't the time to criticize her. Finding Yvette is the top priority," Erin asserted. "I understand, I'm just trying to analyze the situation. Where else should we begin looking? It's essential to have a potential suspect in mind, right?" Ryder was the first to exit the bedroom.Chandler turned to Samson and asked, "Could i
Everyone was shocked at the news of Marley's death."Is it really Marley, Kylan?" Erin felt a heavy weight in her heart.Kylan nodded and said, "Samson has verified it.""Could it possibly be someone else, like an imposter?""My sister never had anyone stand in for her. She would never allow something so risky. If someone had been impersonating her and decided to replace her one day, that would be horrifying. "That's precisely why my sister kept her distance from stand-ins. Anyway, she didn't have enough enemies for one." Everyone reflected on Samson's words.Two minutes later, Chandler inquired, "How many people were aware of this basement?""Just me, the butler, and my sister. That's all.""Did your sister's driver know about it?""Bradley probably didn't know..." Samson replied."So it's uncertain! We should look into her driver!" Ryder took out his phone. "I'll go outside to call the police.""I'll accompany you!" Jill felt uneasy, knowing there was a female corpse
Noah had escaped!Could it be that he had regained his sanity?"Mr. Frost! Please rest assured, I've already called the police, and they have dispatched officers to search for Noah. If there's any news from the police, I will inform you immediately!" The director apologized profusely after his explanation.Erin responded, "This isn't your fault. Someone intentionally took Noah. Let's stay in touch."As soon as the call ended, Chandler pondered, "Yvette disappeared not long ago, and now Noah has been taken. Is there a connection between these two incidents?" He mused aloud, seeking Erin's input. She replied, "There has to be a connection, or else it would be too much of a coincidence!""Erin, I think that the person who took Noah is related to Yvette.""Hubby, is there anyone you suspect?" Chandler furrowed his brow. "I'm thinking of someone, but it seems impossible.""Who?""Irving Miles." Erin was taken aback, remarking, "But Irving is dead!""Is it possible that he f
Kylan's words left everyone in the room silent. Erin finally spoke up after ten seconds of silence, "If he wanted to, he could use it on anyone."At that moment, Trent knocked on the study door."Come in," Chandler said.Trent entered and asked, "Mr. Frost, breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it now?"Chandler turned to address everyone, "For those who want breakfast, please go downstairs. If you don't feel like eating, you can go back to your rooms and rest for a while. Everyone worked hard last night, and you all must be tired.""I really appreciate the help, everyone! I know this mission to save Yvette might not be of interest to you all." Erin tried to express her gratitude. Taylor said, "Erin, there's no need for formalities. If we didn't want to help, we would have found an excuse to refuse.""Yeah. If we didn't want to help, we wouldn't be here reading these kinds of books all night!" Calix added. "Thank you…"Seeing Erin's guilty expression, Chandler walked
"The kidnapper seems to have provided us with an address. But if we rely on the local police to find Yvette, the chances of success might be close to zero." Kylan's words left everyone in the room in silence.If the police were deployed, the kidnapper might just move Yvette again, and the lead would be lost.Erin was at a loss for words. Sending everyone to Eupath to find Yvette could potentially put their lives in danger.She couldn't simply disregard the lives of others. Erin's phone rang ten minutes later. A sense of unease washed over her as soon as she noticed it was an anonymous call.Chandler glanced at the screen and said, "Erin, put it on speaker!"Erin pressed the speaker button calmly, and everyone looked at her with composed faces. Soon, a man's laughter came from the phone. The man didn't use a voice changer, and Erin felt like she had heard his voice somewhere before."Erin Lane, do you know who I am?"Her eyebrows furrowed immediately, and she replied, "It's
Kylan said, "It appears that Irving has infiltrated the police department with a mole. I suspect that the moment Edith called Erin, the mole was nearby." Ryder frowned and said, "It's most likely the mole who ratted on us. We've already examined our phones, and there are no signs of wiretapping.""Rescuing Yvette is undoubtedly a trap! Irving is waiting for us to walk right into it, and he's planning a massive explosion to eliminate us all," Calix remarked, his tone weighed down by the gravity of the situation."This involves my family. I'll go and rescue them myself! You all don't need to get involved!" Erin picked up her phone and headed toward the door.Chandler firmly grasped her hand and spoke with determination, "Erin! What you need most right now is composure! I understand your anxiety and concern for them. "Given the gravity of the situation, we must carefully devise a comprehensive plan for their rescue. If you act impulsively, you will not only fail to save them but a
Irving gently pushed the wheelchair forward and continued, "I was nearly buried alive by that wretched woman. I almost lost my life. The suffocating dread of being trapped underground was utterly horrifying…"The moment I crawled out of that underground prison, I swore I would pay Yvette back double! Noah, look at my face. It's as unrecognizable as yours. You've lost your looks, and this face of mine is no longer my own. "Erin and her friends caused all of our suffering! But I still have an opportunity to exact revenge on those individuals. Even though you may not have that chance anymore, I will avenge you!"All you have to do is remain by my side, and I will ensure that you witness Chandler and his friends meet their demise here, never to return. I'm truly looking forward to it—so excited that I can hardly sleep!"Before departing, Irving cast a meaningful glance at Yvette and said, "Honey, don't worry. If it's death you desire, I will certainly grant that wish for you. However,
"Yes! I've only truly loved two men in my life, Ian and Samson. As for you, you mean nothing to me, not even as much as a street dog," Yvette said indifferently.Her heartless words didn't faze Irving. Instead, he laughed heartily. "What a blunt woman! However, I've never loved you either, so your words can't hurt me. "Furthermore, I would like to let you know that you were just a free prostitute for me! I could have your body whenever I wanted! It was all for my pleasure! Hahaha…!"His laughter was sinister and terrifying, making Sophie move her feet instinctively.Irving pointed the gun at her stomach and threatened, "Tell Yvette how Samson whispered sweet nothings to you in bed."Sophie looked down at her belly and pleaded, "You said you would let me go without hurting my child!""I did say that, but you haven't met my demands yet! Tell Yvette!"He wanted to mentally torture and break Yvette's heart, and bringing Sophie here served only that purpose.Sophie looked at Yvette
