    Sylvia''s POV:

    ir and I were both surprised to see each other. After all, only something important could make


    someone get out of their cozy quilt this early in the morning.


    That, and the power of love would make those like Warren and I do it.


    I chatted with ir for a few moments. When I discovered that Rufus had called him, we went in


    together.


    Rufus greeted me with surprise when he opened the door. "Sylvia? What are you doing here?"


    "I was worried about you, so I came here to check on you," I replied as I handed him breakfast.


    He slung his arm around my shoulder and asked ir toe in.


    Rufus had stayed up all night and looked a little weary. After taking a few sips of the coffee I had


    brought him, he said in a low voice, "I''d asked my men to check Richard''s phone. He had indeed


    been contacted from an unknown IP address. This unknown culprit goaded Richard and stated in


    very clear terms that the nt could lift the curse."


    "So someone else manipted Richard?" I was a little taken aback. I had assumed that this was


    entirely Richard''s idea. I hadn''t expected him to just be a tool. But it was understandable. It was


    difficult for an ignorant man like him to figure out something soplex.


    ir''s face darkened. "Only those close to us could know the situation in such detail."


    Rufus shook his head and put forth another opinion. "Very few of us knew that the nt could lift the


    curse. Even if someone had this knowledge, it was difficult for them to pinpoint the exact time the


    nt would be effective. However, this mysterious person had given Richard a specific time. So, not


    only did they know about the curse, but they also had an understanding of the principles of


    removing the curse."


    Noreen''s name popped into my mind.


    "Was it Noreen?" ir blurted out my hypothesis.


    Rufus smiled, neither confirming nor denying ir''s spection. "Later, I asked the hackers to


    decipher the IP address. They finally traced it back to your phone."


    After speaking thest word, Rufus fixed his gaze on ir.


    I was stunned and my eyes flew to ir.


    "What?" ir didn''t look like he was expecting this revtion. With a confounded expression, he


    asked, "You... you mean my phone? How could it be fucking possible?"


    He cursed and fished out his phone from his pocket. "Shit! Did someone install some malware on it?


    I''m so cursed."


    "You shouldn''t use your phone now." Rufus didn''t suspect ir even remotely and handed him a


    new phone.


    ir clutched the new phone in his hand and eximed, "Who was it? How could someone be


    powerful enough to plot against me? Did they do this when I was in aa?"


    "I doubt it. The message was sent recently. You were already awake then." I felt a chill skitter down


    my spine as well. The culprit was capable enough to not only set ir up, but also leave behind no


    clues for Rufus to find.


    "First of all, we can rule out Richard. He is too stupid to pull the strings," I rubbed my chin and


    analyzed seriously.


    Flora and my other friends could also be ruled out, and it couldn''t be Ethan or Laura either.


    That left only one possibility.


    "It was Noreen." Rufus said the name without any hesitation.


    "And she might have already sneaked into the imperial pce." Rufus and I nced at each other


    with tacit understanding, both our stomachs churning with uneasiness.


    ck witches were masters at disguising themselves. If Noreen hid in the crowd, no one would


    detect her. That implied that anyone in the pce right now could be Noreen.


    I had a hunch that she was nning something big.
