Hub! Quinlyn, do you have friends from abroad? Tid one of them send you something delicious? Elowyn walked in from the garden, holding a bouquet of blooming roses

Quinlyn closed the lid, picked up the package, and turned back with a sweet smile.

It’s just a toy I bought. I’ll take it upstairs first.” She spoke calmly as she made her way up the stairs.

Joseph happened to be coming down. As he passed by, he caught a faint whiff of blood. “What’s that?”

Quinlyn glanced at him but remained silent, continuing up.

Joseph narrowed his eyes and turned around. The moment he pushed open Quinlyn’s bedroom door, he was met with a gruesome sight, inside the package on the floor was a freshly severed, bloodied head.

No matter how composed he usually was, the sheer shock of the scene made Joseph’s stomach churn.

He steadied himself, turned his gaze away, and shut the door before sitting down in a chair nearby. “Is it Lionel?”

“Yes.” Quinlyn examined the cut at the neck before turning her attention to the box. She reached inside and pulled out a card from one of the inner walls.

The message was scrawled in bold, sweeping strokes. [Quinlyn, stop digging. Be good. The handwriting looked familiar.

Quinlyn opened her laptop and ran a scan of the handwriting through DigitalKey Group’s system. The result stunned her; it belonged to Warren.

Joseph picked up the card, still perfectly sealed and untouched by blood, and frowned. “Did he kill Lionel?”

Quinlyn shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Even if Warren hadn’t done it himself, he was definitely involved.

This was a warning. Warren was telling her that Lionel had powerful backers, and she was stepping into dangerous territory.

Joseph wanted to curse Warren for interfering, but at the same time, Warren had effectively eliminated any chance of Quinlyn being targeted in retaliation.

“What are you going to do?” he asked.

Quinlyn thought for a moment, then tucked the card into a book and called Bennett. The task force arrived shortly after.
