Caiden let out a sigh of relief, pressed his lips together, and said honestly, “The person on the phone told me
that if | followed their instructions, | could win your mother’s favor and becher partner. The word ‘partner’
was too tempting. It meant more than just a title—it promised power, status, and a life of wealth. | was swayed
and agreed without really thinking.”
The sweet scent of oranges blended with the sharp tang of blood. Daniela popped a slice into her mouth.

a deadly plot. The victim was Brylee, Daniela’s mother.
As Caiden’s positive answer rang out, a thick silence fell over the room.

Lillian lifted her hand, her voice firm but calm.
“This isn’t the end, Cedric.

continued eating her orange as if nothing had happened. She lifted her chin and asked Caiden, “Any leads on
that intermediary?”
Caiden shook his head.

“Mr. Perry again,” Daniela repeated.
“Daniela, I've told you everything,” Caiden begged, his voice shaky.

“I did. Of course, | loved her.
Your mother was the only real love of my life.”
Caiden’s face twisted with sincerity, his emotions spilling over as if he were a servant pleading for forgiveness.
