She had meticulously copied every aspect of Shirley Lynch, from her personality to her way of speaking, nearly perfecting the imitation, that even the people who know her wouldn't be able to tell that she was a fake.

"You've done a good job disguising yourself, but you didn't know that Shirley has always had a habit."

Suddenly, a feeble voice came from behind.

Yvette spun around to see Freya supporting Jinny as they approached.

"Shirley and I met online as hiking buddies, and we've always addressed each other using our online nicknames. Shirley has never called me by my real name."

"No, that's impossible. Even if that's true, you can't be sure that I'm an impostor."

Yvette found this explanation ludicrous.

"Of course, it's not just that. Shirley comes from a wealthy background and has clean hands, while you have calluses on yours."

"On the day you snuck into Freya's room, I happened to see you holding a syringe, intending to harm Mr. Bradley. I wanted to stop you then, but Freya appeared. Later, worried that something might go wrong, I informed Mr. Bradley about it."

Upon hearing this, Yvette smiled hopelessly.

"I shouldn't have been merciful. I should have killed you then."

With eyes full of murderous intent, she glared at Jinny.

If this plan had succeeded, she would have gained great recognition and become Ian's most trusted assistant.

Her poison could still make new breakthroughs. Once it could be used on the beasts, she would have her own power and no longer be under anyone's control.

Her plan was flawless, but it was ruined by this inexperienced girl.

Hatred filled her chest as she pushed away the bodyguard, rushing towards Jinny.

Seeing this, Freya's silver needle flew out, piercing Yvette's leg.

Yvette screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Gritting her teeth and clenching her fists tightly, she stared at everyone with bloodshot eyes.

Freya approached her step by step, placing a foot on her stomach. "Tell me, what did you do to Great Uncle?"

"Not much, he already had a heart condition. I just added some drugs to his food to speed up heart failure."

Hearing this, Freya kicked her mercilessly, sending her flying.

"If anything happens to Great Uncle, I'll tear you apart and scatter your bones!"

One kick wasn't enough; she rushed at her and began beating her mercilessly.

How could such a vicious woman exist, committing such inhumane acts?

Freya couldn't believe that if Jinny hadn't uncovered her true identity earlier, what would this woman have done next?

Once her schemes succeeded in cultivating the Beast Army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"He won't survive. Even if you're skilled in medicine, he's bound to die. Hahaha!"

Yvette laughed hysterically, tears streaming down her face.

"If he hadn't made my father sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, my mother would not have filed for divorce. Once I had a happy family, but it was all ruined by Hayden!"

"It's all your father's fault. If he hadn't started the violence, how could my great uncle have retaliated against him? And you, unrepentant, conspired to harm my great aunt, causing her death during childbirth. Now you're targeting my great uncle. You're simply inhuman!"

Freya was filled with anger at Yvette's words and wanted to shoot this venomous woman dead.

But she knew Yvette still had value in Bradley's plan. Despite her hatred, she couldn't kill her now.

Yvette continued laughing.

Freya sensed something was wrong and quickly approached her, grabbing her neck.

This woman intended to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

"You want to die, but I won't let you!"

Freya's silver needle pierced Yvette's neck, and soon she fell to the ground unconscious.

"Take them back and keep them under strict guard. Don't let them die."

"Yes, Mr. Bradley."

Shadow Sect members took the two away.

Until then, the wooden house returned to silence.

Freya approached Jinny apologetically. "I'm sorry, I suspected you at first, but I never thought you were helping us behind the scenes."

Jinny smiled. "It's okay. I'm easy to misunderstand."

"Why were you following me in the woods that day?"

According to Sean's examination report, the soil under Jinny and Shirley's shoes was the same as the soil under the bushes.

So at that time, she suspected these two were accomplices.

"I wasn't tracking you. I saw the fake Shirley and a man tracking you, worried that you might be in trouble, so I quietly followed them."

Jinny was very knowledgeable in wilderness survival skills, coupled with learning taekwondo since childhood, she was agile, skilled, and bold.

At that time, she only thought that if they laid hands on Freya, perhaps she could help.

Unexpectedly, Freya noticed so quickly.

"Anyway, thank you. If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have been able to expose Yvette's conspiracy so quickly." Freya thanked her sincerely as it was her misjudgment.

However, under the circumstances at the time, everyone was suspicious, so it couldn't be blamed on her.

"Oh, by the way, what are your plans now?"

"Once we find Shirley, we'll go home. We probably won't take any risks in the future."

Through this incident, she truly understood the complexity of human nature.

Both she and Shirley came from good families, but due to their parents' indulgence, they rebelled, and their reckless adventures nearly cost them their lives multiple times.

The relationship between Freya and Bradley truly moved her.

Jinny thought that she would live well and find a man who cherished and loved her, and live a good life.

At this moment, Gabriel brought Shirley over.

She was obviously tortured severely, her face as pale as death.

Countless needle marks on her body proved that she had also been injected with poison.

"Bradley, she... probably won't make it!"

Yvette's husband revealed Shirley's hiding place. Gabriel went to rescue her immediately, but when he arrived, it was too late.

Jinny softly called her, "Snowball?"

Snowball was Shirley's online nickname.

With eyes closed, Shirley didn't move at all.

Jinny reached out to touch her hand but immediately withdrew it in shock.

Her hand was icy, her muscles were stiff, just like stone.

She... was already dead!

"Snowball…"

Jinny's emotions erupted in an instant.

Everyone came here happily before, but now, there were only three of them left.

Freya stepped forward and patted her back, comforting her, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Accept it with grace."

Comforting words alone cannot ease human emotions; Jinny continued to cry bitterly.

Her eyes were swollen.
