Christopher paused, his glasses glinting as he gave a mysterious smile. The silence spoke volumes.

"It was you who used Zoe to reveal Bella's condition, right? Was that your way of trying to tear us apart and get revenge on me? You didn't think twice about exposing Bella's suffering and pain just to hurt me. Christopher, is this your definition of loving her?"

Justin's tone turned harsh and somber. Tears streamed down his rain-drenched face. "Your love is really messed up."

"What are you talking about? I can't understand a word that you're saying," Christopher sneered sinisterly. "Aren't you the one who made Bella suffer? What's it got to do with me? Have you been out in the rain for too long and gone mad? Justin, don't assume that I'm the only one in the world who detests you or wishes that you were dead. It's better for a cursed person like you to stop bothering Bella and leave her alone."

The icy moon hung in the sky, and the rain came to a halt.

Drew stood by the railing on the rooftop, his black trench coat billowing in the breeze.

He smoked a whole pack of cigarettes but still couldn't calm his tumultuous thoughts. His fingers trembled as he held the cigarette.

"Drew, have you arrived in Savrow yet?" Declan's concerned voice came through the phone. "Did you fly there alone? Nothing happened during the journey, right?"

"Yeah, all good," Drew replied, gripping his phone tightly as he tried to steady his breath.

Declan fell silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Drew, please don't do anything reckless. Even if you want to do something, I'd rather be the one to bear that guilt."

Drew said it with a wry smile. "Haha, Declan, if I really wanted to do something reckless, you wouldn't be able to beat me to it."

He held the cigarette between his lips and blinked wearily. "Take care of Bella. I'll visit her later."

The reason why Drew decided to stay in Savrow for the time being instead of returning to Hatchbay was because when he heard about Bella's condition, it really hit him hard, and he wasn't ready to face his younger sister. Another reason was that just before the banquet ended, Bella sent him a message.

[Drew, please do whatever it takes to find the woman who looks so much like me as soon as possible!]

[We can only know who's the mastermind behind all of this once we find her. This is so important for me, for Justin, and for all of us!]

Alone in the bustling lounge, Drew stared fixedly at the wallpaper on his phone, an image of him with Bella. A strong sense of bitterness and sorrow filled him.

At this moment, just above him, a camera stealthily turned toward him. The other end of the camera was connected to Pivotage.

Christopher had set up a large underground information center with hundreds of screens. He constantly monitored the actions of important figures in Savrow and kept an eye on various key locations 24 hours a day.

Many influential people were unknowingly under constant surveillance, lacking any real privacy.

"Ms. Smith! The target you're looking for has appeared!"

Yvonne's heart skipped a beat as she immediately turned to look at the screen pointed out by her subordinate.

When Drew's handsome face appeared before her, her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken. But upon closer inspection, she noticed that he was deeply engrossed in his phone screen.

And there it was, unmistakably, her face.

No, it was Bella's.

It was the young heiress from the Thompson family who was cherished and pampered by everyone.

Yvonne's eyes grew colder, and a hint of anger started to show. "Keep an eye on him. I'm going over there right now."
