Chapter 7
“She hasn’t been running around after you for a long time now, has she?”
Spencer’s eyes flickered as he looked at Trick Randon.
“Do you really think she’s still devoted to you? Still dreaming that she can play the game of the clam and the crane, letting you take advantage of it?”
I walked over to Trick and draped my arm over her shoulders. She trembled violently beneath my touch.
“Ms. Randon, why don’t you tell everyone about your murder plan?”
“The notebook in your nightstand is so detailed, the car accident, the fire, the getaway, tsk tsk, you really don’t remember anything of the past, do you?”
Trick Randon’s body was shaking so violently it seemed like she could hardly stand. Desperation clouded her face as she tried to break free from my grip.
“Chloe, I’m your biological mother! I carried you for ten months, I raised you for twenty years, how can you do this to me?”
Spencer Led’s masculinity was insulted, and he suddenly found some courage. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, he lunged at Trick, grabbing her by the neck and snarling, “Bitch, you think you can kill me? You better think about your own ability!”
Luckily, the officers reacted quickly, but by the time they pulled Spencer off, Trick was barely breathing.
Moon Lunar, having been comforted by her family, finally regained her composure. She adopted the air of a business negotiator, addressing the officers.
“Gentlemen, my lawyer will be here soon. Until then, I do not accept any charges against me.”
I clapped slowly, signaling for everyone to listen to the sirens outside.
“Did you hear that? That’s the real call I made to the police, Moon Lunar. Your retribution has only
just begun.”
The sound of sirens grew closer, then stopped.

new batch of financial crime officers arrived. “Ms. Lunar, you are implicated in multiple financial crimes. Please come with us.”
The smile that had appeared on Moon Lunar’s face froze again. She shouted in disbelief, “This can’t be! I haven’t committed any crimes! You have no evidence!”
One of the officers nodded at me and greeted me, and in that instant, Moon Lunar finally understood.

I handed over the most crucial piece of surveillance evidence to the officers, my tense nerves
relaxing slightly.
“You’ve only got yourself to blame for your company’s poor background checks. Sonborn worked as a cleaner for four years in the group, and you didn’t even know about it.”
Spencer Led shot up, eyes wide with disbelief. “Impossible! She was supposed to die outside! Trick broke her legs! How could she still be alive?”
On the other side, Trick Randon, finally catching her breath, was just as stunned. “Bitch, all of you are just bitches!”
If I’d known back then, I should’ve killed her myself!”
“If the Lunar family falls, how am I supposed to be a rich housewife?”
Her expression grew more manic, her hair already disheveled as she muttered to herself, “No, no, I’m still a rich housewife!
My daughter is married into the Bryan family! I’m the mother–in–law of a wealthy family!”
The police officer, the clearest thinker in the room, asked, “So you and Sonborn were acting in a play. together?”
I sighed deeply, “Yes, we’ve been planning this for over twenty years, all for this moment.”
“Sonborn wasn’t actually injured. She wrapped a few blood packs around her waist to make the scene convincing. I only needed her to leave the scene because it was too chaotic. I was afraid she’d really get hurt.”
The police officer sighed, patting my shoulder in sympathy. “You’ve worked hard.”
The financial crime officers were efficiently clearing the scene, and everyone from the Lunar and

Just as I was about to leave with the officers, Spencer Led’s furious scream rang out from behind me. “Chloe! If you won’t let me live, then neither will your

The sound of the knife slicing into flesh reached my ears, but the pain I expected never came.
