The moment the call connected, Jason wasted no time. "Leon was shot by Caleb Gavins?""Yes," Alex replied, his voice crackling through the speaker. "I have a witness, he used to work under Cole."Jason's grip tightened on the phone. "Did you find anything about Cole?"He'd been meaning to dig deeper into Cole's death. Why he suddenly disappeared years ago without any trace but ended up among those who set Feng's car ablaze. But with everything else demanding his attention, he'd pushed it aside. Once Caleb was behind bars, he would have time for that. Still, hearing Alex mention Cole's name now sparked his curiosity."It was his building where Leon was killed," Alex explained. "He was working for Caleb Gavins."Jason let out a sharp hiss. "How did Cole end up in such a way?"***At Zhenyu Hospital, Adriana paced the corridor. Security personnel lined the halls, their watchful eyes following her every move, but she couldn't bring herself to care. The chair outside Camila's room had bec

"Hey honey, you are back!" Ruby forced out a laugh, then asked, "Black came here? Really? What did he come for...? You sent him to get something for you?"Her face remained flat, her voice as natural as always. If she didn't know the truth herself, she would have believed her own act. But it was for the best. Until she saw what the file contained, she couldn't let Caleb know. Besides, what was there to tell him? The man only cared for himself. Her caring for her son and herself in this case was the smartest move because the Caleb she knew would choose himself over anyone."Yeah, I'm back." Caleb flashed a smile that crinkled the corners of his eyes. "I thought you knew why he was here." His hands rested in his pants pockets while his head slowly leaned back against the cold wood of the entrance door.She chuckled, her face slightly twisting into a frown. "Why would I know why he was here?" Her eyes rolled. "He's your right-hand man, right? I'm sure even if he was here, he might have c

Camila lay on the bed as always, but something was different this time. Her eyes, though pale and weakened, were wide open.Adriana didn't dare let her hope soar too high only to have it shattered if this turned out to be a cruel trick of her imagination. She didn't shout. Instead, she scurried to the bedside, dropped the bags she was carrying, and pulled Camila into a tight hug as fast as she could, before someone could wake her from this dream.Then Camila's voice came "Big sis, if you keep hugging me this tight, you're going to choke me to death, you know."It was barely above a whisper, yet clear enough that Adriana caught every single word.Adriana pulled back immediately. "Sorry," she breathed, wiping the tears streaming down her face with the back of her palm. Thank God it wasn't a dream. Camila was awake. Her little sister had made it back alive.Hearing Camila call her the way she used to, back before she left Goldmere, made old memories crashing back. "You remember me, littl

"Edward, you are here." Adriana's eyes shot open. Considering a lot was going on and the hospital was still a bit far from either the office or Jason's house where he might have been by the time she called, she wasn't expecting Edward to come so soon, so she was shocked on seeing him here already, and it was obvious with the way her mouth was wide open.Tears streamed down her eyes as she sobbed, mumbling some words that only she could hear. Despite Edward being so close to her, he didn't hear a thing. He had so many questions to ask her, but he knew asking right away wasn't the best thing to do, so instead he hugged her tighter, running his fingers through her hair to calm her a bit while she sobbed.After like two minutes, Edward finally assured her in a low tone, almost like a hush, "Everything is under control. Caleb Gavins' video, don't let it get to you. It doesn't have to bother you because we have some new evidence. Marcus, myself, my uncle and my assistant are working so hard

"I thought you were abroad. When did you touch down?" Adriana asked, her gaze fixed on Dave, who had walked in with Marcus, the two of them standing side by side."Do you know him..." Marcus started, but then something clicked. His eyes moved from Dave to Adriana as he pieced everything together. "Dave here... is your private investigator? Like the Dave from abroad? The one that always gets his hands on any news if he wants it?"Back then, at Jason's house, when Edward had mentioned that Dave had been able to find the owner of the account sending monthly payments to Tank and the central hospital owner, Dave had been a bit surprised though he hadn't shown it. For days, he had tried tracing that account, but no matter how hard he tried, everything was carefully cleaned out, leading nowhere. It was like the money came from nowhere and vanished into their accounts without leaving a trace. Now it made perfect sense to him.He laughed at his own foolishness. To think he and Dave always tal
