Nora’s eyes widened in shock as the burly man’s body trembled and collapsed onto her. His warmth lingered, but his life was gone.

The sight of his blood made her scarlet eyes appear even more eerily

red.

The other men on the ship were terrified by the scene, screaming and attempting to flee. However, their attempts were futile as they were swiftly subdued by figures clad in black clothes and masks,

descending from the deck.

The leader of the group blew on the still steaming muzzle of his gun, strolling toward the dazed Nora. He towered in front of her, looking down at her with contempt.

“Our boss can help you return to Meawood City and eliminate everyone on this ship to keep your disgrace hidden. But you must make a deal with us!”

On the island, Harriet was sleeping in Delbert’s villa.

She was plagued by a tumultuous dream. Images of her mother’s death haunted her, followed by Clifton wielding a blood-stained dagger with a malevolent expression.

The dream shifted to memories of her previous life. She saw her naive self was deceived by Vernon and handed a glass of poisoned

With a smile, she said, “Delbert, my treat.”

In her previous life, Harriet had indeed fled. She eloped with Vernon.

Heartbroken, she cried out to her foolish self, begging her to come back and check on Delbert. However, the foolish girl disappeared without a backward glance.

As far as she could remember, her foolish self believed Delbert about the game and really ran away.

With her regained intelligence, Harriet now witnessed Delbert’s life force fading. The pain in her heart was unbearable. She lay down beside Delbert, pressed her lips against his cold ones,

and cried her heart out.

“Delbert, | am not Yvonne.”

How could there be such a foolish man in this world, willing to

Moments later, Harriet jolted awake from her dream. Tears covered her face, and her eyes were swollen from crying. The vividness of the dream lingered, and the agonizing pain still throbbed within her.

“Delbert, Delbert!”

She needed to confirm his presence, hoping for a chance to make amends.

However, the man, who was supposed to be in bed with her, was

gone.

‘Where did he go?’ She wondered.
