Chapter 220 Clues from the Corpse

The instant his eyes met mine, my body locked in place without thought.

When the dagger pierced my back, it wasn't pain that hit me first, but pure disbelief.

As I spun around, I was met with those cold, dark eyes Before I could even process what had just occurred, the dagger was already out of my flesh, effortlessly. 43%2

Those eyes, which had tormented my nightmares, now glared at me with the intensity of a deadly predator.

Despite my altered look, my heart raced uncontrollably under his stare, a wave of adrenaline flooding through me.

It felt as if I were on a roller coaster, shooting up to the peak in a heartbeat, my heart suspended at the top.

My mind urged me to disregard his stare, but my instincts screamed with fear, reminding me of his attempt to kill me. Suddenly, a towering figure stepped into my line of sight, and a wave of relief washed over me.

"Mrs. Zoey, would you like some water?"

It was Damian.

The man was tall and imposing, but Damian, with his own tall and sturdy frame, effortlessly blocked every gaze of his.

"Thank you."

No one could tell that I was drenched in a cold sweat as if I had just escaped death by a hair's breadth.

I took a sip of the warm water, letting its heat spread through my body, restoring some life to my limbs.

In a low voice, I said, "He's here, at ten o'clock position, over six feet tall."

Carter turned to Damian, his voice steady, "Watch him closely, but don't alert him."

"Understood."

I added once more, "This isn't his real face. He's excellent at hiding his true identity."

""Understood."

Whether it was the day he attempted to take my life or pur unexpected meeting at the art exhibition, his face appeared different today.

But I was certain, it was him, those eyes, that figure!

I lowered my gaze, pretending to speak with Carter, who held my hand, feeling my body tremble uncontrollably.
