    Seeing a rarely panicked expression on Charlie’s face, his voice hoarse, “Last night, it was you?”


    Noreen buried her head in the man’s chest, her eyes flickering, and said softly, “Of course it’s me, who


    else could it be?”


    “Where’s Emily? Charlie asked.


    Noreen paused for a moment and pretended not to know. “Emily? What happened to Emily?”


    Charlie grabbed her arm, pulled her up forcefully, his eyes bloodshot, “Where’s Emily?!”

    Emily, I gave her 500,000 dors to help me.”


    Her voice became lower and lower, choking
