CHAPTER 25
THE RUNNERThe night air outside the mansion was cold and heavy, carrying a faint scent of damp grass as the shadowed figure sprinted across the garden toward the outer gate. The path lights cast long, flickering silhouettes on the ground, making the entire scene feel tense and unreal. The guards stationed around the estate had already begun reacting to the commotion, but the figure moved with surprising familiarity, weaving through the paths as though they had memorized every corner of the place.“Stop right there!” Isabella shouted again, her voice echoing across the garden, but the figure did not slow down even for a second.Raymond’s eyes sharpened as he followed closely behind. Although his body still carried traces of weakness from earlier, the surge of urgency pushed him forward. His breathing remained steady, and his movements were controlled, but there was a clear increase in speed compared to before. The faint energy within him seemed to respond once again, as if danger itse
CHAPTER 24
LOCKDOWNThe moment the servant’s body went still, a suffocating silence spread across the entire hall. No one dared to speak. The fear that had been lingering in the air earlier now became real, heavy, and impossible to ignore. Several maids covered their mouths in shock, while others instinctively stepped backward as if the ground itself had become dangerous.Isabella stood frozen for a brief moment, her face pale as she looked at the lifeless body on the floor. Everything was happening too fast. Just minutes ago, they were uncovering the truth behind her grandfather’s poisoning, and now someone had died right in front of them.“Clear the area,” she said, forcing her voice to remain steady.“Everyone step back.”The servants hurriedly obeyed, retreating toward the edges of the hall. No one dared to disobey her at a time like this.Raymond remained crouched beside the body, his fingers lightly resting on the servant’s wrist. Although he already knew the outcome, he still checked care
CHAPTER 23
THE SECOND PLAYERThe room fell into a heavy silence after the old man lost consciousness again. The faint words he had just spoken lingered in Raymond’s mind like an echo that refused to fade. His expression gradually turned more serious as he stood beside the bed, his gaze fixed on the old man’s pale face. The situation had already gone beyond a simple poisoning case. What initially seemed like a single man’s greed was now revealing something far more complicated and dangerous.“…not just him…”Raymond repeated the words inwardly, slowly piecing together the meaning behind them. If Robert was not acting alone, then there was at least one more person involved, someone who had been hiding in the shadows all along. Someone who had not been exposed yet.Behind him, Isabella stood frozen for a moment, clearly shaken by what she had heard. Her hands clenched slightly at her sides, and her breathing was uneven. The truth was unfolding faster than she could process.“Mr Hernandez… what did
CHAPTER 22
TOO LATE TO REGRETRobert’s face was twisted with madness as he rushed forward, gripping the fruit knife tightly. His movements were reckless and desperate, as though he had already abandoned all reason. The servants screamed and scattered in panic, while several bodyguards froze for a split second, clearly not expecting the situation to escalate so suddenly. The distance between Robert and Raymond closed in an instant, and the sharp blade reflected a cold glint under the bright lights of the hall.“Then I’ll kill you first!”Raymond stood where he was, completely unmoved. His expression remained calm, almost indifferent, as though the man charging toward him was nothing more than an insignificant nuisance. However, beneath that calm surface, his eyes had already turned cold and sharp. The dizziness from earlier had not fully faded, but his body had already begun to adjust. A faint trace of strength surged through him again, subtle yet undeniable.“You’re too slow.”Before anyone coul
CHAPTER 21
THER CRACKImmediately, bodyguards rushed toward Robert’s private study, and the atmosphere in the Green family mansion became even more tense than before. Everyone present could clearly feel that the truth hidden for the past three years was about to be dragged into the light. Robert’s face had already become extremely ugly. The calm authority he once carried was crumbling little by little, replaced by visible anxiety and suppressed rage. He never imagined that a young man he had looked down on from the very beginning would push him into such a desperate position in his own home.“No one is allowed to enter my study!” Robert suddenly shouted as he stepped forward angrily. His voice echoed through the hall, causing the servants to lower their heads in fear. However, Isabella’s expression remained cold and unmoved. “Search it,” she repeated firmly. “Anyone who disobeys my order will answer to me personally.”The bodyguards looked at each other for only a brief moment before continuing to
CHAPTER 20
THE SECRET ROOMThe moment Raymond raised the tiny glass vial before everyone, the atmosphere in the Green family mansion instantly grew heavy and suffocating. Every pair of eyes was fixed on the dark liquid remaining inside the bottle. Although no one spoke, everyone knew that whatever was contained in that vial was definitely not something ordinary. Vivian had already collapsed helplessly onto the floor. Her elegant appearance was gone, and the calm dignity she usually carried as a member of the Green family had completely disappeared. Her hair was messy, her breathing was uneven, and fear was written all over her pale face.“I… I can explain…” Vivian said with trembling lips, but even she seemed unsure of her own words.“Then explain yourself,” Isabella replied coldly. Her beautiful face was covered in frost, and the gentle concern she had shown for Raymond earlier was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, she looked every bit like the granddaughter of one of the most powerful men in
