Chapter 200 Delusions of Grandeur

In the middle of the crowded expo hall, Vivienne stared coldly at Richard.

She couldn't help but recall what Rebecca had told her the last time they met.

Rebecca said the killer wasn't Alistair.

Vivienne didn't believe Rebecca would say that without reason. She wasn't sure if she had overanalyzed it or had acted impulsively, but she'd shared her suspicion with Alistair, speaking from a place of friendship.

When he returned to where Theresa had been chatting, he found a very different

scene.

Henry, who had seemed quite taken with Theresa just moments ago, was now deep in conversation with a young woman.

Or rather, the young woman was doing most of the talking, and Henry was listening with full attention, nodding along and clearly engaged.

Theresa had been pushed to the sidelines. She tried to chime in several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The woman stood with her back to them-tall, poised, and graceful, her ponytail sleek and perfectly in place.

Richard instinctively quieted his steps.

He couldn't explain it, but for the first time in his life, he felt drawn to a woman just
