Henry’s expression shifted dramatically, his fierceness giving way to tears and snot. He pleaded
desperately, “No, please, let me explain, Mister Richard, I-”
“Your so–called nephew already filled me in at the door,” Richard interrupted, his voice cool but
rezolute.
“What? Didn’t he stop you?” Henry was puzzled. Camden had been focused on looking for his
parents‘ murderer. It didn’t make sense that he would let Richard into the restaurant.
Richard used his dagger to lift Henry’s chin, imparting a sense of icy dread that sent shivers downHenry’s spine. “He did stop me, but it wasn’t necessary, considering you know who killed hisparents.” He then turned around and saw Camden entering the restaurant, his face etched with
hatred.
“Do as you wish with him, Mister Richard. He must pay for killing my parents. I’ll do it myself if youdecide to spare him today!” Camden said.
Camden had discovered the truth about his parents‘ murder long ago. To his shock, his seemingly kind
uncle was the culprit behind it all. Henry had even tried to pin the blame on Pearl to seize the Wilson
family’s property and Evil Spirits.
“If you’re smart, you’d know who stands to gain the most from your parents‘ deaths.” Camden hadn’t
forgotten Richard’s words. He had been waiting for this day to come, confident that he could make
Henry pay, even if he lacked the power to do it alone.
“Camden! Don’t be fooled by them! We’re family. How could I harm you? Your parents died in an
accident three years ago, and Pearl was the one responsible for it!”
If Pearl had had any strength left, she would have risen to her feet and slapped Henry for making such
a baseless accusation. She had merely passed by the scene of the accident, she was in school at the
time. She had no motive to harm Camden’s parents.
Camden recalled the events of that day—it was a girl in red who had rescued him from the wreckage
and offered him a plate of pasta.
and
Pearl smiled. “If you believe me, I can get to the bottom of this within three days and prove it wasn’t
me.”
“No, that’s unnecessary,” Camden responded, lowering his head to admit, “I already knew it wasn’t you.
I never truly doubted you because I discovered the truth early on. I just wanted to use you as bait to
catch Henry off guard and kill him.”
He also wanted to meet the girl who had saved his life. When he mentioned his intent to kill Henry, henovelbin
spoke with a calm demeanor, suggesting
he spoke with a calm demeanor, suggesting that he had grown accustomed to taking lives over the
years.
“But I didn’t want you to die either. I had already replaced his dagger with a retractable knife. It couldn’t
have harmed you.”
Richard examined the dagger closely.
“If you doubt it, you can try it on him,” Camden suggested, referring to Henry.
Terrified, Henry shook his head vigorously. “No, please, don’t…”

In response, Richard thrust the dagger into Henry with force. However, it wasn’t a retractable knife–it
was a real dagger.
Blood began to flow instantly from Henry’s wound, and his eyes widened in horror. He had coated the
dagger with poison, knowing that Camden was fond of Pearl and had exchanged his weapon for a
retractable knife. He had intended for the poison to ensure Pearl’s immediate death.
