Chapter 1766


    It was the old part of town where thend had lost its value, and the houses had been rundown for


    years. No


    developers were interested in this area, and it was slowly bing abandoned.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Fortunately, the houses were affordable, and transportation was convenient, making it the first choice


    for people


    living paycheck to paycheck.


    Cam, dressed in all ck with a cap covering most of her face, discreetly arrived at an apartment


    after


    navigating the dirty streets. She checked the unit number and rushed up.


    Owen opened the door, and a creepy grin appeared on his skinny face at the sight of her.


    "Why are you staying here?" she asked, entering with a grim expression. "It''s so hard to find this


    ce!" "Well, it''s


    cheap here," he replied, closing the door and walking over in a rxed manner.


    Cam noticed that he had lost weight again. The 1.8-meter-tall man now looked as skinny as a stick,


    with a loose T-


    shirt hanging on him as if he were swaying in it.


    Suspicion shed through her eyes, but she said nothing.


    "Why don''t you live at home? Doesn''t your mom spoil you? She was cruel to push your sister to my


    cousin just to


    treat your illness back then. Maisie might as well have signed a contract with him!"


    "Ha! How would I dare to go home now!" Owen lit a cigarette. "Don''t you know the saying ''keeping a


    good distance


    is a proper way to protect yourself when you''re in need''?


    "All my mom cares about is that girl now. I don''t want to torture myself under her watch, so I rented this


    ce...


    "Unfortunately, my sister is selfish. When she was with Daniel back then, apart from paying for my


    medical bills, she


    would never ask for money from him. It''s even more impossible now!"


    "That''s why you''re depending on me now," Cam remarked with disdain.


    Daniel had spoiled Maisie when they were together, giving her money that she hoarded. He would pay


    for Owen''s


    medical bills and ensure all the expenses were covered.


    After recovering, Owen would ask for money from Maisie, who would always decline, citing Daniel''s


    difficulty in


    making money. This would anger Owen, leading to confrontations. -


    Back then.


    "Are you out of your mind? You''re his woman. It makes sense that you spend his money!" he scolded


    her.


    "I didn''t sell myself!" she retorted.


    "I don''t see anything different than you selling yourself with what you''re doing now. Do you really think


    he''ll marry


    you? Do you really think you''ll be his wife? Dream on!" "My sister is a fool," Owen sighed, puffing


    the cigarette.


    He looked at Cam fawningly. "You''re so generous. That''s why I''m willing to give you all I have!"


    No matter his terribly skinny face or messy room, he disgusted her.


    She coldly asked, "I came here today for something serious... Do you have something to do with Yvette


    and her


    husband''s death?"


    Owen''s hand holding the cigarette trembled.


    "I knew it!" She stood up and pped him. "Are you trying to drag me in?!"


    "What are you doing?"


    "I should be the one asking that!" She was enraged. "Why did you do that? How dare youmit


    murder?!


    Moreover, you killed two people by killing Yvette! Daniel is suspecting that I did that now. How am I


    going to clear


    my name?!"


    "Why are you panicking?" Owen looked ignorant. "Does he have proof? Let me tell you. My buddies


    are the best.


    They''ll definitely—"


    His body began to sway as he spoke, spacing out. He looked like he was craving something.


    Cam widened her eyes in shock, watching him take a syringe from the drawer in an experienced


    manner and


    retrieve some sort of liquid before injecting it into his vein.


    He became normal again after a while, a distorted smile appearing on his sunken cheeks.
