Chapter 2018

He vividly recalled being by his mother’s side when she fell ill.

It was cancer, a tangible ailment that contradicted any notion of madness.

Furthermore, his mother had been aware of Valerie and her mother’s existence since Valerie’s birth.

She understood her husband well enough to know that he was philandering and she couldn’t control him in any way.

Moreover, his mother, driven by a strong career focus, prioritized avoiding the complications of divorce and property division.

Consequently, she chose to turn a blind eye to his father’s affairs, feigning ignorance to maintain stability.

And Valerie, still a child at the time, couldn’t have orchestrated such a scheme.

With deliberate intent, Valerie exploited his mother’s death as a pretext to lure Lucinda into the villa, attempting to perish alongside her.

Even after the failed attempt, she resorted to gunfire, fully aware that it wouldn’t succeed in killing Lucinda and that her true motives would inevitably come to light.

Was her aim to repay his kindness and help mend the strained relationship between him and Lucinda?

Or was her actions driven by guilt over his mistreatment by Lucinda just a few days prior?

Perhaps the only way to uncover the truth was to confront Valerie face-to-face.
