"I always sensed that he was alert and cautious around people, but now he's determined to restore order within the family and is resorting to silencing them..." Lois murmured to herself. I could see her veins bulging as she fought to control her anger.

"Meet me at Coast Restaurant at 6 o'clock to discuss the new terms. If you fail to come, I cannot guarantee my patience with you." Lois was giving me an ultimatum.

As soon as her car drove away, I swiftly ran toward the trash can. I was determined to find the envelope that Steven had discarded. It held the photos that Yasmin had brought with her. Despite the photos being torn to pieces by Steven, I painstakingly pieced them back together. Within the photo, there was undeniable evidence that Stephany and Peter had met. The photo captured a secret meeting between Stephany and Howard with Peter. There was also a photo of Stephany introducing a homeless child to a stranger. No... Not a stranger.

I managed to put the photos together as best as I could, my breath trembling. Stephany brought the homeless child to meet the man, who was the second victim in the mutilation case. Rumor had it that he was involved in import and export trading.

Combined with what Lois said about the consequences, it seemed that Stephany's identity was indeed more complex than I had imagined.

I arrived at the Coast Restaurant ahead of time, before six o'clock. To my surprise, Lois was already there, patiently waiting for me.

She was an exceptionally resilient woman. My mother had often mentioned her, stating that the Ford family relied solely on her. Her husband, Michael's father, on the other hand, contributed very little. She was also a pitiful woman. She lived a life akin to that of a widow, yet she wasn't one. Ever since she had Michael, her husband was rarely present at home. During my time with the Ford family, I rarely had the chance to catch a glimpse of her husband.
