Chapter 8

On the day of the cremation, Mr. Shaw held onto my urn, refusing to let go.

The situation took an unexpected turn after the police got involved.

Britta and Blaine found the text messages slandering me suspicious, so they reported it to the police.

After receiving this lead and considering the peculiarities at the collapse site, the police decided to merge the two cases for investigation.

The case progressed quickly.

Before long, the police had pinpointed key evidence and suspects in the case.

As it turned out, the mastermind behind those text messages was none other than Serena's best friend.

To drive a wedge between Mr. Shaw and me, Serena had instructed her friend to impersonate me and send her insulting texts, successfully deceiving Mr. Shaw.

Serena was involved with a high-ranking official and was desperately trying to seduce Mr. Shaw to find a legitimate identity for her love child.

As for the collapse we experienced, it was actually a setup by the official's wife.
