Keira froze, her body suddenly tense as she stared straight ahead. Without hesitation, she was about to jump off the boat to rescue the person in the water. But in the next moment, Lewis firmly grabbed her arm, stopping her. Keira turned to him with urgent eyes. "Aren't we going to help them?"

Lewis shook his head. "They're official personnel. We can't act recklessly."

Keira frowned.

Behind them, Erin let out a mocking laugh. "You were so confident just a moment ago. And now look at this mess! How utterly useless!"

Keira spun around and glared at Erin.

Keira's gaze remained fixed on Erin, her voice cold. "If it wasn't you, then who else could it be?"

Erin lifted her chin defiantly, her eyes full of stubbornness. "Yes, it was me! We're enemies, after all. What's wrong with me causing trouble for you? We're both contenders for the South family's inheritance. Why did you trust me so easily?"

Keira was stunned.

Erin stared at her with a mix of anger and challenge. "You think you can accuse me and get away with it? If you want to clear your doubts, killing me is your best option!"

Keira was speechless.
