Hearing her grandmother’s words, Millie recognized Lucia’s attempt to shield her from worry, and it


    touched her deeply.


    “Grandma, you were hit by a motorcycle. Naturally, I woulde back.


    You’re the person closest to my heart.”


    The previous brain surgery had taken a toll on her grandmother’s well-being. She appeared


    increasingly frail, her once-vibrant frame growing thinner and more aged.


    Seeing this transformation, Millie’s heart ached.


    Later that evening, Tobin called, informing Millie that they had apprehended the culprit and requested


    her presence at the police station.


    Rnd drove Millie to the police station.


    “We’ve arrived, Mr. Nics.”


    Eager to know what happened, Rnd quickly inquired, “Have you identified the assant? Why did


    they target Millie’s grandma?”


    “Follow me.”

    Thereafter, Tobin led them inside.


    The interrogation room’s door swung open, revealing a young man in his mid-twenties, handcuffed and


    head lowered, sporting a row of hefty metal earrings on his right ear.


    “He’s the one who hit your grandma. Someone paid him ten thousand dors to do it.”


    Furious, Rnd lunged at the man,nding heavy blows on his head.


    “You punk! How could you attack an elderlydy? I’m going to make you regret this, you piece of shit!”


    “Calm down, Rnd!” Tobin intervened, restraining Rnd and positioning himself in front of him to


    prevent another assault.


    Squinting, Millie pieced together that someone had offered the young man ten thousand dors to harm


    her grandma.

    “Where’s the person who paid him? Have you apprehended them?”


    Shaking his head, Tobin responded, “Not yet. Theymunicated via phone. The number is traced


    back to Preagend. It’s highly likely that the mastermind is from there. Miss Brown, have you had any


    recent conflicts? The person who hired him probably holds a grudge against you.”


    Millie pondered her recent interactions in Preagend, acknowledging potential instigators like Rhea,


    Nancy, and the Brown family. Any of them could be behind this scheme.


    “If we trace the phone number, can you determine its owner? And are you able to trace the sender’s


    bank ount?”


    “I’ve investigated them, but they aren’t that naive. The phone number’s owner turned out to be a high


    school student who lost their phone. The money transfer was made through an illegal ount


    purchased online.”


    Disappointed, Rnd’s voice dropped as he remarked, “Tobin, you mentioned catching the culprit, so


    we rushed here immediately, but it seems we’ve hit a dead end.”


    Tobin expressed his regret over what happened.
