"In the hands of the police, the Scar Man is named Daniel!" The detective's revelation jolted Claude awake.

"You mean Kate has connections with Scar Man?" He seemed genuinely shocked, having never imagined any link between Kate and Scar Man. "Do we have any other evidence proving they know each other? Could it be a mistaken transaction?" I couldn't help but laugh. How could Claude be so foolish? A million bucks was no small change, and it was unlikely Kate made a mistake in sending that money. That million must be the payment Kate promised for tarnishing my reputation. 'Claude, this is your beloved girl, your kind-hearted first crush, doing such despicable things to me.' I said.

"Mr. Hart, you have to ask Daniel about the purpose of that million. But with the cops around, it might raise suspicions and could backfire on Ms. Goodwin."

"What else has Kate done?" Taking a deep breath, Claude realized the deeper he dug, the harder it was to cope with the revelations.

That was the third person telling Claude about my ordeal.

"Ms. Goodwin was seen meeting with Daniel the day before she and Claire got kidnapped. So, while investigating Ms. Goodwin, we also stumbled upon Ms. Floyd, who seemed to have gotten into real trouble. And it looks like the police have found surveillance footage of Ms. Goodwin meeting with Daniel."

He stared blankly at the ceiling. This time, he truly believed it. His detective had found the evidence, and it couldn't be fake.

"Claire will be okay." For some reason, he stubbornly thought I wouldn't die, even when the truth was staring him right in the face.
