"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

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

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

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

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
