“T-this… this isn’t possible, is it?”Eleanor frowned deeply, her face taut with tension.She only needed to read a few pages from the thick stack of documents to realize just how serious the accusations against her and her family truly were.But she refused to.Instead, she put on an expression of disbelief.“Officer, I’m certain this is just a misunderstanding.”Eleanor lifted her head and began to defend herself.The arrogance and haughtiness she had shown earlier vanished without a trace, replaced by a pitifully cooperative demeanor.“There’s no way I could be involved in illegal activities, let alone funding something like that. We—the Hayes family—have always upheld our dignity in everything we do. We—”“Hahaha!”Before Eleanor could continue, a loud laugh rang out nearby.“A she-devil, really?”Catherine shot her a mocking, incredulous look.“You talk about morals when you were the first to trample on them? Come on. Do you even feel shame when you say things like that?”This wa

“That’s not true!”Eleanor shook her head violently.“That’s absolutely not true! Mr. Officer, I beg you—please don’t make things up. All of those assets belong to me. Everything I invested—every single cent—was mine!”Eleanor continued to deny it.“You’re free to say that,” the officer replied calmly. “But take a look at this.”He raised a single sheet of paper—an official petition Theodore had submitted to a judge during a court hearing twenty-eight years ago.Back then, Theodore had appeared to concede when he agreed to grant young Catherine half of his assets.But the old man was far from foolish.He had submitted a condition to the judge:the assets he transferred would belong entirely to Catherine and could never, under any circumstances, be transferred, reassigned, or renamed to anyone else.The judge had approved it.“You might believe that all of those assets and funds became yours because Mrs. Harrington agreed to hand them over to you.”And that part was true.A year after

“No! This can’t be happening… right?”Screaming inwardly, Eleanor felt like she was about to collapse on the spot when the officer presented that dangerous deed in front of everyone.A single document—one that completely fenced Catherine’s assets off from ever falling into her hands, or anyone else’s.That had always been her greatest fear.And now, it had become reality.“This must not happen!”Denial surged violently in her heart.“This is all my effort! The result of my hard work! I can’t give it to anyone!”Yet at the same time, logic told her clearly that there was no longer any way to hold onto everything.She might still be able to deceive Catherine—fabricate a thousand excuses to manipulate that foolish woman.But this officer?That was clearly impossible.It felt as if fate itself had already been decided.She could no longer fight it.“Why are You being so cruel to me, God?” Eleanor screamed silently, struggling with all her might not to lose her sanity.She felt like she co

“Do you truly regret what you’ve done?” Catherine asked.“I can’t convince you any further.”Eleanor slowly turned her body to face Catherine.“But I can tell you this—I finally understand what true regret feels like today. You don’t need to say anything or offer me your forgiveness. This is entirely my fault, and I only want to take responsibility by accepting my punishment.”She then gave a subtle wink toward Elizabeth.Catching the signal, Elizabeth—who had been standing in shock, not knowing what to do—immediately understood her role.“Cath, I also deeply regret what I did to you. Please forgive me.”Elizabeth suddenly dropped to the floor and reached for Catherine’s legs, just like her mother had done.But Catherine stopped her. “There’s no need.”Her words weren’t harsh—but they carried no sympathy either.Hearing that, Elizabeth realized she needed to put in a bit more effort.“I know my words hurt you, and I won’t deny that,” Elizabeth said. “But I said those things because I

“No! No!”Catherine shook her head violently.Grabbing Elizabeth by the shoulders, she pushed her away.“I can’t do it. I can’t.”“Cath, what do you mean?”Elizabeth still wore a sorrowful expression, desperately hoping what came next wouldn’t be the outcome she feared.She wanted Catherine to say she had forgiven her.“Tell me—what happened?” she asked softly, sympathy still plastered across her face.She needed to be patient. Just a little longer.“Do you remember what you told me that night?” Catherine said. “You said this woman—” she pointed her index finger at Eleanor, “—put mercury powder into my mother’s food every single day until she died. Do you remember that?”Catherine couldn’t stop the tears as she shouted.“When I think about it now, I want to strangle all of you to death. But I know that’s not what my mother would want.”That memory triggered another.A passage from Clara’s diary surfaced in her mind—one that said no matter what happened to her, she never wanted her dau

“Ma’am, we’ve finished installing additional security devices along the fences and increased the number of CCTV cameras. There should be almost no vulnerable spots in this place left unmonitored.”A bodyguard bowed politely to Catherine after giving his report.A short while earlier, following the officer’s instructions, he had immediately left Palm Coast Resort to escort Catherine back to the Hayes mansion, which had now returned to its original name—the Harrington mansion.“Yes, that’s good,” Catherine replied, nodding faintly while keeping her eyes on the phone in her hand.“Excuse me, ma’am, regarding them, what would you like me to do?”He gestured respectfully toward the two bodyguards loyal to Eleanor who had earlier shouted at Catherine.Not only were they Eleanor’s right-hand men, they had also often carried out dirty work for her.“Keep them out of my sight,” Catherine said. “I don’t want to see their faces again.”She no longer wanted to see anyone connected to Eleanor in t

“Ma’am, would you like me to prepare something for you?”It was already five in the evening and it would be dark soon. Seeing that Catherine hadn’t eaten or drunk anything since earlier, the maid quickly offered.“No. There’s no need.”Catherine shook her head, her gaze still fixed on her phone.Her finger kept pressing the call button on Quinn’s number. But there was still no answer.“Ma’am, forgive me, but it’s my duty to remind you about your mealtimes.”Even though Catherine refused, the maid still placed a glass of water on the table.“Whenever you need, I’m always on standby.”“Yes. Thank you.”Catherine simply nodded with a faint smile.Even though she had become the new matriarch, she wasn’t used to being the center of command yet. But she didn’t think much about it.She picked up the glass and drank slowly.After such a stressful day, she would have run out of energy if she hadn’t remembered that Quinn was still out there.Gulp!After two swallows, something suddenly clicked

Meanwhile, as soon as they left the Mercon area, Martin didn’t slow down at all even as he entered the highway.Vrooom!The blue BMW was pushed to its limit at 220 km/h, overtaking cars one by one, sometimes even swerving out of its lane.“Martin, watch out!”Creeeeak!The harsh sound of brakes screeching filled the air as a large truck from the opposite direction had to stop abruptly, startled by the BMW suddenly appearing in its lane. When the truck driver thought a collision was unavoidable because the distance between the vehicles was barely an inch, the BMW skillfully dodged it.Vroom!But that wasn’t the last time Martin left his lane. This time he jerked the steering wheel hard and cut across four lanes at once.Creeeek!Creeeeak!Creaaaak!The piercing chorus of braking noises echoed at the intersection as cars were forced to stop to avoid crashing into one another after Martin cut through and disrupted their lanes.“Hey! Are you crazy? Do you want to die?!”The drivers shoute

“Aaaarch! You pervert!”Valentina shouted as she reflexively covered her chest with both hands.“You keep trying to peek at me! Get lost!”Martin immediately pulled his head out of the car without saying a word.This is insane, he thought.He hadn’t expected to see Valentina naked again. This time directly, not through a glass bottle like before.People would probably wait their whole lives just for a chance to see a body as beautiful as Valentina’s.Even once would feel impossible for them.Yet the opposite kept happening to Martin.In just one day, he had already seen a beauty like Valentina undress.Not once. But twice.“So annoying! I’m going to gouge his eyes out!”Grumbling, Valentina quickly put on her tactical bra and leggings.After that, she took another outfit.A black, lightweight bulletproof suit that covered her body from neck to ankles.Srrrt!She zipped it all the way up and stepped out of the car.“Let’s go,” she said without looking at Martin.Martin nodded and led t

“That’s going to feel absolutely amazing. Come here. And let’s have some fun together.”Grinning widely, the fat man never once took his eyes off Valentina’s chest.“Huh!”Valentina shook her head, her expression visibly disturbed.“Hey, trash can. Get that ugly face of yours out of my sight and get lost. Otherwise, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”“Woohoo! Looks like the little doll is angry. That’s adorable.”Instead of fear or intimidation, the fat man burst out laughing.Valentina’s expression looked irresistibly cute in his eyes.“Come here, sweetheart. Come on.”He dropped the clubs from both hands and made a beckoning gesture.“Do whatever you want to me. I’ll gladly take it.”That attitude only made Valentina feel even more disgusted.“Bastard!”She could no longer restrain herself as she clenched her fists.“Come here, my dear. Hehehe.”Seeing Valentina stride toward him, the fat man grinned even wider. His eyes didn’t blink as they swept over her body from head to toe—again and ag
