The woman on the other side smiled and sighed. “You are so infatuated. It's a pity that a person like Raymond Fletcher met me first. You'd better protect your Euharrell Givenlee well. After all, you killed his father. Be careful not to be killed in your dreams at midnight.”

The words I had just heard echoed in my head over and over again. The person who made my dad's company go bankrupt back then wasn't even my fiancée, but Esmeralda Rosendale, who also paid for his surgery.
When my dad had a heart attack a week later, it was also because of what Esmeralda said. No wonder my dad was staring at Esmeralda before he died.
At that moment, I was naive enough to think that. It was my dad's gratitude and testament to her.
