Chapter 35

It seemed he had heard the news of her supposed death and called via video to confirm it.

Giselle let the video call ring unanswered until it disconnected on its own. After it hung up, he called again. She continued to ignore it.

He tried several times, but only when the calls repeatedly went unanswered and disconnected automatically did he finally stop.

Perhaps this man felt a sense of relief knowing she had suddenly died. He had disliked her from the beginning, always wanting to rid himself of her. Now that she had completely disappeared from his life, wasn’t that exactly what he wanted?

With this thought, she became even more resolved to stay hidden. She avoided getting a new SIM card, remained inside, and didn’t return to her home. Vivienne took care of her dog, visiting her place occasionally to assist.

Numerous friends had expressed their condolences via WhatsApp, including her sports teammates and long–term colleagues.

Naturally, Zachary sent her messages too. Zachary was overseas, occupied with his graduation thesis. It was uncertain if he knew about her accident, but he kept asking daily why she wasn’t responding.

She chose to disregard all the messages. Eventually, she logged out of WhatsApp, plunging her world into silence.

During the days when the police were searching for her “remains“, they also began investigating the person responsible for the accident.

Though there was no surveillance footage from that specific stretch of road, the police reviewed cameras from other areas and eventually pinpointed a suspect vehicle. However, it turned out to be a vehicle with cloned plates, meaning it would take additional time to catch the real perpetrator.

Giselle had anticipated this outcome for a while. How could Renee, who had the audacity to take such a drastic step against her, not have meticulously planned everything in advance? She wouldn’t have left evidence for the police to easily find.

The so–called culprit that night was merely a hitman hired by Renee. Even if they were caught, what then? With Renee’s cunning and her extensive network of connections, she had more than enough resources to dispel any suspicions.
