She pulled out her phone from her pocket and sent a message. [Met him, but he''s wary of me. Can''t get close.]


    The man read the message, with a devilish smirk ying on his lips. "If it were that easy to fool him, he wouldn''t ben." The assistant nodded with a smile. "I reckonn will dig into Zora''s background next. He won''t trust her that easily."


    The man scoffed, "I''ll make him believe."


    lan stepped out of the café and immediately instructed Dawson, "Look up this girl named Zora."


    "Did you notice anything unusual when you met her?" Dawson inquired.


    lan''s eyes narrowed slightly. "It''s precisely because I didn''t, which makes it strange. It''s like she knew the answers to all the questions beforehand, and she felt unfamiliar, not like No. 11." Dawson started the car, ncing atn in the rearview mirror. "If she''s an impostor, then where is the real No. 11, and how could they know your secrets?"


    The thought maden worry. He hoped No. 11 wouldn''t get involved in this.


    ra was awakened by a nightmare in the early morning. She dreamed of her mother lying in a pool of blood, reaching out to her. Tears glistened in her mother''s beautiful big eyes.


    The image echoed in her mind, apanied by her mother''s pained moans. ra sat up abruptly in bed, gasping for air, a thinyer of sweat on her forehead.


    Just then, Casey came in upon hearing the noise, anxiously asking, "ra, did you have a nightmare again?"


    ra looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "I dreamed of Mom covered in blood."


    Casey held her close,forting her, "It''s over now. Leonora has been sentenced to death. Once the case with Katherine is closed, the sentence will be carried out, and your mom will rest in peace." "Dad." ra''s voice was hoarse. "Would Mom be upset about me marryingn?"


    Casey gently stroked her hair. "How could she? She chose him for you. She''d be overjoyed."


    "But she didn''t expect Leonora to


    l.ne


    attack her. My brother said Mom was clutching that ne when she died. I think she must have known Leonora was the culprit Maybe she wanted to call off the engagement."


    Hearing this, Casey was at a loss for words. May clutching that ne at her death was always a mystery. If she had known Leonora intended to harm her, ra''s reasoning made sense.


    He patted ra''s back, trying to


    soothe her, "Don''t overthink it. You have to walk your own path. Even if your mom disagreed with your marriage ton, you two love each other so much, and you even have a chilel together. Would you really give up on this marriage?"


    When she heared this, ra''s eyes suddenly welled up. Her moist big eyes looked up at Casey. "Dad, I can''t bear to leave him. He''s my entire youth, the man I''ve loved for seven years. I can''t bear to part with


    him "After saying this,

    her face in Casey''s chest, sobbing softly.


    lan, who had been standing outside the door all this while, felt his eyes burn upon hearing these words. He was about to burst into the room and take ra in his arms when that sentence echoed in his mind again.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Why did ra say she had loved him for seven years? Hadn''t they met just three years ago? Why did she say he was her entire youth?


    Thinking this,n felt as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.


    When exactly did ra meet him?
