Ellie walked into the hotel lobby and immediately spotted Alex, surrounded by a crowd of people.

He was dressed in a dark, casual suit, sporting a plain black shirt with the top three buttons undone. His towering height and strong presence made it nearly impossible to overlook him.

Ellie casually averted her gaze and pulled Diana over to join Lacey.

“Look, that’s my sister–in–law’s sister, Quinlee,” Diana said.

Ellie followed Diana’s line of sight to a slender woman in a long white evening gown.

From a distance, it was hard to see clearly, but with Diana, Ellie could spot Quinlee being flanked on either side by her sister–in–law, Winnie, and Mrs. Janssen. She must be quite treasured in their family.

“Whoa, you scared me! For a second, I thought I saw Haley!” Lacey exclaimed as she caught sight of Quinlee’s back, patting her chest in relief.

That casual comment made Ellie and Diana exchange a knowing glance. After all, at the border where the three kingdoms intersected, she had personally injected Haley with two shots. She’d even heard Alex had someone ruin her face.

Even though Haley had done many terrible things that played a part in her father’s death, Ellie longed for revenge. But she knew her hands couldn’t be stained with blood! Her brother was a prosecutor, and as his sister, she had to be cautious!

Her father was gone, and what good was her kindness now? Still, she had a brother and a mother to consider. They needed to survive; she couldn’t afford to be reckless! Giving Haley those two shots had been her limit!

“And how could Haley compare to my sister–in–law’s sister? She’s probably rotting in some gutter in Ameria!” Diana’s comment easily pulled Ellie back to reality.

“True that,” Lacey agreed.

Just then, Winnie led Quinlee toward them.

“I’d like to introduce my sister, Quinlee,” Winnie said, presenting her sister to the group.
