“Yet, she still ended up being a model and found herself a rich boyfriend.” Lina pouted. “How blind can that rich guy be?”

Natalie chuckled at that remark. “I always knew Hannah would become a model because she was already as tall as Sal during her university years. Everyone knew Sal dreamed of becoming a model, but they had no idea Hannah had the same ambition. Ever since I noticed Hannah had secretly flipped through the pages of Sal's fashion magazines from time to time, I knew she aspired to become a model too. When I met her six years later, she had completely transformed into a confident woman and was already a working model. Anyway, it's not difficult to befriend rich men in the fashion industry. But it was clear that her ex-boyfriend was merely toying with her. He wouldn't have dumped her so quickly had he been in love with her.”


“You've got a point there.” Lina smiled and inclined her head in acknowledgment.

Natalie massaged her temple and said, “All right, let's stop talking about Hannah. We won't see her anymore, and she'll no longer haunt us. It's time to put the past behind.”

“Sure. Let's get back to work!” Lina stretched her back and returned to her desk.

Natalie lowered her head and started burying herself in her work.

Meanwhile, back in the country, Stanley entered an apartment.

The apartment was a cozy living space that used to be Joyce's residence.

All the electrical alliances and floor were covered in dust as the unit had been vacant for quite some time.

As Stanley walked into the apartment, each step he made left an obvious footprint on the floor.

He had never set foot in the apartment. In fact, he never intended to do so.

When he finally decided to come to this place, Joyce had left the apartment for good.

Stanley walked to the living room and stood still. He turned around and took a sidelong glance at the apartment. It was a small unit but had everything a person needed to live comfortably. Dust was all over the furniture pieces and electrical appliances, and many things were left behind as they were. For instance, the rotten fruits on a platter, the half-filled water in the glass, and the modem that still blinked.

He believed Joyce must have moved out in haste since she did not cover them in dust cloths.

Stanley pressed her lips. It seemed she couldn't wait to run away from me.

A cold glint flashed across Stanley's eyes. He then took a few steps forward, intending to enter one of the rooms.

He stood outside the room and gently twisted the doorknob.

After opening the door, Stanley entered the room. Looking at the decorations around the space, he believed it was Joyce's bedroom as the wardrobe was filled with her clothes.
