CHAPTER 142Mr. Donovan and Maria came out of the VVIP room, where Wilson Blake took his time to fall back asleep. Liliana quickly prepared treatment for Wilson's condition. The man had made it through the critical period amidst the heated political atmosphere. The business world was not doing well and Wilson's recovery was like a breath of fresh air for all his colleagues.Maria looked up after checking her cell phone. "All the partners are calling me, Sir!""Have they heard about Mr. Blake's recovery? How do they know?" Mr. Donovan looked at Maria, but she just shook her head. The business world is tough, you never realize who is on your side and who will play the role of spy and traitor. Maria then raised her cell phone in the air. She shook it lightly. "They even keep calling, it seems they are very curious about Mr. Blake's health condition, Mr. Donovan. What should we do now?"Mr. Donovan looked down, removing his face from Maria. He seemed to think for quite a while before fina

CHAPTER 143"What are you going to do today? You look nice," Nicholas said, taking his eyes off his cell phone.Alicia, who had just finished putting on her clothes, pulled a gray backpack from behind the bedroom door and put it on her back. She sat next to Nicholas, who was preparing to leave for work while enjoying Alicia's green tea. Alicia smiled and explained, "I'm going to apply for some part-time jobs today. I heard that Uncle Chuck's shop needs a lot of waiters for Christmas week. You know that their ice cream is the best, right?"Nicholas squinted. "You don't need to look for a job, aren't lawyers going to take care of your parents' entire estate?" The man recalled. "That will be enough for you. And... starting today, I'll pay for you. I'm serious about our relationship, so please let me help you financially, Alicia."A soft chuckle sounded from Alicia. She stroked Nicholas’s hair which had been polished with strawberry-scented hair gel. Then looked at him intensely. NIcholas

CHAPTER 144Alicia looked at the crime scene. The field forensics team had already removed the body of the man Nicholas was talking about, he had found nothing but the location of the body which had been circled by a yellow police line. Nicholas asked Alicia to pull over because it was a dangerous place and Alicia agreed to wait for Nicholas on the other side.The crashing waves on the beach momentarily filled the void in Alicia's chest. It had been a long time since she had felt the fresh breeze of nature. But being on the beach when the air was cold, made Nicholas worried about Alicia's condition. Nicholas quickly caught up with Alicia, then took off his warm coat to cover Alicia's outerwear."You should use this, it's cold outside, you'd better wait in the car," Nicholas said, then invited Alicia into the car.They sat next to each other as Nicholas began to rub his cold palms together. His face seemed to be still wandering around looking at the surrounding scenery from inside the

CHAPTER 145Just as Nicholas had said when saying goodbye to Noel, that he would drop Alicia off first before returning to his work. And here Nicholas was, standing waiting for Alicia to unlock the door to her own flat. Alicia turned around and smiled. "I'll be fine, you can go now."But Nicholas smiled and took Alicia's hand. Alicia frowned with a confused expression, what else would Nicholas do? Nicholas then put down a gray whistle necklace and placed it on Alicia's palm. Alicia looked up, seeing Nicholas' face with a curious look on it."What is this?""It's a present for you."Alicia's eyebrows furrowed. She chuckled. "A whistle?""You can blow it if you're in danger and I'll come right away."Nicholas' words made Alicia smile. Her cheeks turned a tinge of red as she felt embarrassed. It was blushing! Her chest warmed up whenever Nicholas said sweet words that touched her. It had been a long time since she had gotten that feeling, even when Alicia was with Ace, Alicia could not f

CHAPTER 146Their focus turned to Hendrick, who returned with a wealth of information. "I found a missing person's report similar to our victim's but covered in contradictions. The person's whereabouts seem to have been carefully erased. After some digging, it's Jill and her daughter."The trio gathered again, maps lying on the table, tracing the topography of the coastal cliffs. "There's a remote area," Hendrick pointed, "rarely accessed, overlooking the beach. If the victim was thrown from there, it might explain the cut-off of access to a commonly visited tourist spot."A shiver of revelation ran through Nicholas. "What if this isn't just a murder? What if this is a message?" The pieces seemed to align, painting a sinister picture of calculated manipulation.Noel nodded, determination etched on his face. "Let's explore that side of the cliff. There might be something we're missing, a clue that connects everything."Nicholas took a deep breath. He looked at his two partners in turn,

CHAPTER 147Nicholas sighed in the cold air. He took out a scarf from inside his black coat and started tying it around his neck. His body was beginning to be exposed to the cold air of the day's winter. It was already afternoon. The strong wind carried from the beach greeted his freely exposed face there. She looked around. His breathing began to become labored due to the depletion of oxygen.While catching his breath, Nicholas scanned the surroundings. In front of him stood a simple-looking house. It was on the other side of the cliff. Nicholas took out the drawing made by Lily, Jill's daughter, and held it up in the air. He looked at the drawing, then at the house behind it in turn. Nicholas also rotated his point of view, so that he could see the sea from a different direction. And the more Nicholas observed, the more he was convinced that it was the same position."This is the house. Let's take a look."Nicholas prepared himself, he put the picture into his coat pocket, meanwhile

CHAPTER 148Alicia sat enjoying a bowl of blueberry and strawberry yogurt sprinkled with raisins while watching television. The weather outside was unfriendly and Alicia could only stay in her own flat. Occasionally glancing at the cell phone on the table, she waited for a message from Nicholas. It had been a whole day since Nicholas had left, but he hadn't texted or called.Alicia's strong intuition told her that something was up. But Alicia chose to hold back this time. She stirred the yogurt into the bowl and started eating it. The television shows no longer interested her. Alicia changed the channel several times and still found no interesting shows. It was just gossip and entertainment shows that didn't calm Alicia down.After finishing her snack, Alicia went to the kitchen and cleaned her hands. She then went to her room and locked the door. The large windows in her room were not covered with curtains, so Alicia could see the snowfall that fell on the earth that day. The time on

CHAPTER 149There is nothing more uncomfortable than managing several cases at the same time. Nicholas sat in the corner, massaging his forehead which was beginning to throb with pain. It was like he had a migraine. His head was filled with the horrible cases that had just happened. But of all the cases, Nicholas realized something... that their deaths pivoted on Alicia. The girl he loved."I didn't know that being in charge would give me such a headache," Nicholas muttered in the middle of the meeting.Noel glanced at Nicholas, then at Hendrick and Peter who were also in the same room. "Well, you're too modest. You not only have a headache but you've been shot. Did you forget that?""Thanks for reminding me, Noel," Nicholas replied sarcastically.Everyone laughed quietly. They knew that Nicholas had really had a bad day all week since gaining his new status as Chief.Instead of enjoying a lighter life due to less work, Nicholas had gotten into a lot of trouble in a fairly short time.

CHAPTER 150Noel is initially confused by Nicholas' request, but Noel also believes that Nicholas must have thought about this seriously. This series of serial killings could be connected to each other, and they needed to find the common thread to put the missing pieces together."None of this started this year," Nicholas said thoughtfully. He pointed at the large white board in front of him and sighed. "It all started when we solved the death case at Golden High School a few years ago."Hendrick and Peter, who were not handling the case, could only listen. They had heard about the case but weren't really involved as they were just regular cops. Meanwhile, Noel cocked his head when he saw Nicholas. Nicholas nodded reassuringly."Yes, that's right. Since all of this is related to Alicia, then everything should start from there. Golden High School!" Nicholas snapped his fingers in the air, then pointed at Peter. "Peter, please get the Golden High School serial killer file, it's on the c
