Michael didn’t say much after that.

Rachel was so angry that her eyes were bulging with redness when she asserted, “Tell me thebrand and style of the dress. I’ll buy one myself.”

Michael remained silent for a long time before answering, “It’s the Luxe Yonder autumn collectionThere’s only one red dress in that collection.”

Listening to his words, my heart ached faintly. When I was 18, he asked me what gift I wanted, andI said, “Give me a dress. I like the designs of Luxe Yonder.”

He agreed, but in the following years, the person he bought dresses for was no longer me.

Too lazy to say anything anymore, Rachel only glanced at him before walking away. He’d better notregret it after this.

“Officer Landon, could we get started with the plan as soon as possible?” Rachel asked as soon asthey got into the elevator. She was no longer able to wait for another second.

“Please, let me try… I don’t dare to think about what Stephie is going through right now. Please,”she pleaded.

Zion took a deep breath and nodded.

“Alright, I’ll go with you to buy the dress first and then we’ll leave this hotel with you disguised asYasmin. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

Rachel nodded while gripping her hands tightly.

“I must catch that murderer,” she swore.

Zion, you must make sure that no harm comes her way,” I nagged, despite knowing that he couldn’thear me. “You must protect her.”

That night, Rachel changed into the same dress that Yasmin had, straightened her long hair, andleft the hotel with a face mask

I was worried, so I followed her all the way. I was afraid that she might encounter any danger.

She went to a bar and drank some alcohol. Soon, she was drunk, and her hair was all disheveled.To avoid suspicion and make her act look authentic, she had actual alcohol.

“Rachel, don’t be afraid. I’m always here beside you.

I wanted to be her guardian angel to always protect her, but there was nothing I could do.” Thepolice made sure that everything was going perfectly according to plan so that Rachel would not gethurt.

Rachel stumbled out alone into the night and walked back through Sunset Alley. Suddenly, therewas a faint sound behind her.

Nervously, I looked back at the dark corner while trembling with fear. Even I, a ghost, was afraid ofhuman intentions. What was truly frightening was never ghosts but the hearts of humans.

“Rach_ be careful,” I said nervously while staring straight at the darkness.

“Zion… Zion, where are you guys?” I shouted in fear, but they couldn’t hear me.

A dark figure flashed by and ran into the distance. The policemen who were watching from afarfollowed the figure.

I felt an inexplicable fear. I had a feeling that this was a diversion.

“Rach…”

I tried to pull Rachel away to escape, but it was too late. A figure had already emerged from thedarkness. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and ill–fitting pants, revealing scars on his ankles.There was a long stick in his hand.

“Don’t. Don’t come any closer!” I screamed and shouted in fear, stomping my feet in place. “Rach!Run, Rach!”

He was the murderer. He was indeed the murderer! It was Steve!

said Steve hoarsely when he noticed Rachel sitting on the ground.

“It’s not her…” he muttered, his eyes also red. His extremely handsome face revealed a hint ofcoldness.
