Seeing Grayson’s murderous eyes, Evelyn cowered: “Gray–Grayson, it’s not what you think!
But the next second, she was grabbed by the throat as he lunged at her!]
“Evelyn Reed, say it again! Where is Rory? Where have you hidden her?! His desperate questioning broke through ||
Evelyn quickly struggled for breath, pounding her fists against Grayson’s hands: “Let go! LET GO!
The lawyer and bodyguards rushed forward to pull Grayson away.

“Mr. Hart, you’re a legal professional yourself! Release her now or you’ll f
Finally, they managed to restrain the frenzied man!]
Evelyn’s face had turned crimson from lack of oxygen, tears streaming down her face as she gasped and coughed, looking utterly pitiful “Grayson, for That dead woman Aurora
“She’s NOT dead!” Grayson’s face was ashen
Evelyn finally broke down and laughed: “Fine! Since you want me dead for her sake, I’ll tell you!”
“That day, after she fell into the sea, she struggled for a while, but the waves slowly swallowed her up, and she completely disappeared. She’s probably not even an intact corpse by now!
In that moment, Grayson felt as if a funeral bell were talling in his mind. The violent vibrations brought a rush of bitterness to his mouth]
He vomited a mouthful of blood before collapsing backward.]
Grayson, you truly deserve this
For such a vicious murderer, you repeatedly pushed your beloved wife to the breaking point.
You never believed her, even when she cried before you, knelt before you, begged and pleaded with you…]
As consciousness slipped away, Grayson’s murmur was filled with bitter irony:
I’m sorry, Rory. I’m coming to join you.”

A private nurse inserted a needle into a woman’s thin vein. Her skin was pale white, making the bruises from repeated injections even more st
But just as the needle entered, perhaps from the pain stimulus, her slender fingertip moved slightly.
The young nurse’s heart leaped with joy as she rushed out: “Mr. Vaughn! Are you still here? She moved! Her finger just moved!“]]
The man paused while making coffee and strode quickly toward the master bedroom.]
Arghat moment, Aurora was already opening her eyes. Seeing this, the man quietly instructed the nurse behind him: “You can go. Ask the housekeeper to prepare some light congee suitable for a recovering patient‘
Then the bedroom door closed softly..
Aurora had been unconscious for too long. Though
Though she had opened her eyes, her vision seemed covered by a thick fog
Through the blur, a tall figure approached her bedside. She shrank back slightly, her voice hoarse: “Who are you? Where where am 17“]
She only remembered her final moments–activating the hidden camera in her button while confronting Evelyn.
Though she understood Evelyn’s arrogance and insanity, she hadn’t expected Evelyn to actually try to kill her when grabbing her throat.
Her original plan had been to deliberately fall into the sea, framing it as Evelyn’s responsibility. But that day, she had nearly truly died at the heiress’s hands.]]
When she fell into the ocean, she was already severely oxygen–deprived. The near–death sensation caused excruciating pain throughout her body. As consciousness faded, even she hadn’t expected to survive…[]
“So 1… didn’t die?” At this moment, Aurora looked into the foggy void and smiled faintly]
“No you didn’t die, though you certainly circled death’s dour many times,” the man replied softly, his warm voice somehow reassuring [
“Miss Quinn, how do you feel now? Is anything uncomfortable or wrong with your body?”
Aurora blinked in confusion: “My eyes… I can’t see clearly.”
Quickly, she vaguely sensed a hand waving before her face: “You can’t see? Or you can’t see what I look like?”
She shook her head: “So, who are you exactly?
The man paused briefly before letting out a soft, resigned laugh
Let me introduce myself. My name is Julian Vaughn.”
“Miss Quinn, the company you hired for your fake death restar servich Town‘
