"Back then, we thought we could take advantage, but we didn't expect Scott to wake up. He freed Heather and then came back to save Emily. During the struggle..."

"We just took out the knife to scare them; we didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"Yes, we didn't mean to hurt anyone. We just wanted money."

"Yeah, it was Emily Hastings, that bitch. She pushed that guy onto the knife... it has nothing to do with us, really nothing!"

Caleb frowned, thinking they had already told him the truth. He didn't expect there was more to the story.

Ophelia's chest heaved as she calmly said, "Keep talking."

"Then she ran. We were afraid of causing a death, so we pulled the knife out. Two guys went after them. Just when we thought about dealing with the dead body, your people arrived. Everything we said is true, I swear!" The man, hands and feet bound, wriggled desperately.

Ophelia handed the gun back to Caleb, as calmly as if nothing had happened. But the calmer it was, the more unusual it seemed. "Find Emily," she said.

The tech department restored the surveillance video early in the morning. Ophelia sat on the couch in Rosewood Manor, watching the grainy, dark surveillance footage over and over, which was silent and only had visuals. It was almost exactly what those people had said. In the surveillance video, the person wearing the Everland Hotel server's uniform was Emily.

As Scott was trying to help her escape, someone grabbed her hair. Just after Scott pushed those people away, Emily turned around and, without him knowing, pushed him onto the knife's edge.

Scott took the knife directly in the back, and the people were so shocked that they immediately pulled it out. Emily ran away without even looking back. Heather had disappeared long ago.

If either of them had just turned to check on Scott and got him to a hospital in time, things wouldn't have ended up like this. She dragged the progress bar back, and the scene played again.

"Don't watch it anymore," Kenneth said as he snatched her phone away. He thought, 'Why put yourself through this?'

"I'm fine, really," she said calmly. She was determined to get revenge for Scott and make those two feel the same pain!

Caleb' called just as the dawn was breaking. "One's at Serenity Villa, which is Sophia's place. The other are hiding in a budget hotel on Seondiela Road."

Ophelia quickly went upstairs and changed into new clothes. The black coat made her face look even paler and sicklier. Kenneth wasn't sure if he should allow her to do this. After a sleepless night, she was heading out again.

He frowned and stepped in front of her to stop her. "Let me handle this, okay? Go back inside and get some sleep, alright? Be good!"

"No, you know me," Ophelia said, looking up with brown, stubborn eyes that held a hint of pleading. She thought, 'I was going to be headstrong just this once. I had to make Emily pay!

Kenneth's sharp eyebrows knitted together. Looking at her stubborn demeanor, he realized he should be angry, but more than that, he felt worried about her.

They locked eyes for half a minute before he finally gave in. He took a deep breath, pulled her into his arms, gently

caressing her back, and with the softest voice said, "Come back soon."

Ophelia said, "Okay." She, along with a group, left Rosewood Manor and made their way to the Serenity Villa in a grand manner. With Kenneth's information network, replaceing someone wasn't hard. "Wait for me outside," she told the others.

"Ma'am, Kenneth asked us to protect your safety."

"I won't say it again." Her fierce gaze was exactly like Kenneth's. Even though they were his subordinates, they were overwhelmed by her aura and could only step back.

Ophelia rang the doorbell. The smart door camera inside the door showed her innocent face. The door was opened by the housekeeper, "Who are you looking for?" "I'm looking for... Sophia."

"Oh, please wait a moment." Just as the housekeeper was about to close the door, Ophelia blocked it with her hand. "It's a bit cold outside. Can I wait inside by the door?"

Noticing her pale face from the cold and seeing she didn't seem like a threat, the housekeeper decided to let her in. Ophelia indeed stood obediently by the door, not stepping even a single inch further inside.

The housekeeper went upstairs to call Sophia, who soon came down with a bathrobe on. After seeing who was at the door, Sophia's sleepiness vanished instantly. She asked, "Why are you here?"

Ophelia noticed an expression often seen on Emily's face Sophia, making her eyes grow colder, yet she maintained a faint smile. "I wanted to talk to you." Her tone was calm, without a hint of emotion. "You are a smart person." Sophia looked upstairs and instantly knew it must be that troublemaker who had stirred things up. She looked Ophelia up and down with sharp eyes, more observant than both Emily and Heather.

Sophia said, "Come in." With a smile on her face, Sophia slowly walked down the stairs as Ophelia also entered.

"Mandy, could you go get us some breakfast?" Sophia sent her away, leaving only the two of them in the large hall.

"Are you trying to figure out a way to help your son? I have some evidence that might assist you." Ophelia placed a USB drive on the table.

"Ophelia, what are your conditions? Just say it directly," Sophia said.

After Ophelia left, Sophia reviewed the contents of the USB drive and, once confirming it was useful, immediately knocked on Emily's door. When no one answered from inside, she simply opened the door and went in. Just as the door opened, Emily suddenly woke up from a dream sitting up straight and gasping for air. She thought, 'Scott's death has nothing to do with me!'

She looked at Sophia with disgust, "Why did you come in?"

Sophia Carter didn't get upset and said pleasantly, "Emily, get up. Weren't you planning to take revenge on Ophelia?"

At the mention of taking revenge on Ophelia, all traces of sleepiness vanished from Emily's face. "What? Hurry up and tell

me!"

"Get up first and I'll tell you! Clean yourself up," Sophia said.

Emily hated playing along, but when it came to taking revenge on Ophelia, she'd do whatever it took.
