Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 218 Good Begets Good, Evil Begets Evil

At that moment, I wasn't thinking about anything else. Fueled by a wave of hatred, I acted without a second thought.

The car window rolled down slowly, and Victor glanced out, looking totally uninterested.

"Need a ride?" he asked, his voice dripping with indifference. "Sorry, I'm heading somewhere else, not your way." His gaze was as arrogant and dismissive as ever.

He was the murderer, no doubt about it. How could he still act so smug in front of me?

Maybe he thought with Benjamin gone, the truth would stay buried forever.

I clenched my teeth, my eyes practically shooting daggers at him.

"Good deeds get rewarded, and bad deeds get punished. It's not that there's no payback, just that it hasn't come yet."

Victor's face tightened, a flicker of surprise and panic flashing in his eyes.

The next second, I was pulled into a tight embrace. Ethan held me close, like he was trying to comfort me and plead with me at the same time.

I glared at Victor, feeling the urge to strangle him.

But then I thought of Martin, and I forced myself to swallow my rage. My grip on the car door handle slowly loosened, and finally, I let go.

The window rolled up, and the car sped away, disappearing from sight.

Ethan held me, his hand gently rubbing my back.

His breathing was heavy. I knew he was anxious and nervous. Maybe he wasn't scared of my recklessness, but he probably thought it wasn't the right time.

Lacey flew abroad the day after Benjamin's funeral. Before she left, she just said, "This time, I really have no more ties."

After coming back from Benjamin's memorial, I forced myself to calm down.

The next day, I went back to the office.

I talked to the lawyer handling our company's legal stuff, pretending I was asking for a friend. I told him the whole story, mainly to see if we could still press charges after seventeen years, and if there was a statute of limitations. The lawyer said a diary alone wasn't enough evidence.

His words hit me hard, like a mountain blocking my way. Bringing the murderer to justice seemed like an impossible task.

In the days that followed, I tracked down some workers who had been at the quarry back then. But when I asked about the incident, they all claimed they didn't know anything.
