Felicia turned around, shocked and scared for the first time at this son she’d taken in halfway through his life.

“You don’t have to do this … I–I can help you! I can give you everything back! Just let me go, and I’ll treat you like my own son; everything I have will be yours. Just please, let me go!”

Chris just stood there, quietly watching her cry and beg, watching her throw out desperate, ugly bribes. The person he once saw as this impossible mountain didn’t feel so big anymore.

He let out a cold laugh, stopped caring about her struggles and curses, and turned, walking straight into the fire without hesitation.

Derek, I’m coming to make things right. You’ll forgive me, won’t you?

You’ve always been soft–hearted with me. Of course, you’ll forgive me.

But someone like me deserves to burn in hell, and you’ll live well in heaven.

By morning, the news that Chris had started a massive fire and died with Felicia was everywhere.

When Tracy saw it, she froze, unsure what she was feeling.

Then Ronald’s voice broke the silence. “Tracy, the plane’s about to take off. You should turn off your phone.”

Tracy snapped back, as if she’d been reading about a stranger. She shut her phone, pushing all her thoughts aside.

Because of the will the lawyer brought, Tracy had been delayed a few days before finally meeting the donor.

The man was a college professor, Kenneth Hewitt, with a kind and gentle face.

When Tracy showed him Erin’s photo, he recognized her immediately. “I remember this young lady–she’s something else.

“Over all these years, she’s the first person I’ve met who can make someone relax with just a few words.”

Kenneth’s face showed full, honest admiration for Erin, but Tracy’s chest tightened.

Whether it was the Jackmans, friends, or even the bodyguard outside Franklin’s hospital room back then–whenever they faced Erin, they’d unconsciously relax and treat her words like law.

It really was strange, almost like magic.

Tracy pushed the thought aside and asked about the driver he’d personally helped financially.

Kenneth told the truth, since it wasn’t something to hide. “When Ms. Jackman mentioned it, I remembered and had someone check. That man really did need help.

“As for calling myself … normally I wouldn’t, but I thought of what Ms. Jackman said–how he’d been scammed by fame–chasing fake philanthropists. I figured if I called myself, he’d believe

it.”

Back then, Erin’s words had sounded casual, but Kenneth had taken them seriously, remembered them, and actually made the call.

Thinking of that, Kenneth looked full of regret. “If I’d known what would happen, I never should’ve called. Or at least waited until he got home.”

He knew the call led to the man getting into a car accident on the way home and killing someone, but he didn’t know the two young people in front of him had come because of it.

Tracy didn’t explain. Once she was done asking her questions, she left with Ronald.

Even though she was almost certain Erin had caused Walter’s accident, there were still too many mysteries.

Walter’s movements were supposed to be secret–how did Erin know when he’d be back in Cloudville or when he’d pass that road? How could she be sure Kenneth would call personally? How could she predict the driver would rush home and beat that red light by two seconds?

If this was Erin’s plan, there were too many factors outside her control. How could she be so sure it would

work?

From what I know of Erin, she doesn’t have the scheming mind to plan this far ahead—so how did she do

it?

Thinking about all this, Tracy’s brow stayed tight, and she had no leads at all.

It was like the trail had

gone

cold.

Seeing her frown every day, Ronald wanted to tell her to take a break, but he couldn’t.

Instead, he tried to help her think. “Tracy, if you can’t find the lead, let the lead come to you.”

If you’ve done nothing wrong, there’s nothing to fear.

If Erin knew they had gone to Kenneth and “found something,” she’d get nervous and make a

move.

And if she acted, they’d have a chance to catch her messing up.

Because of this plan, Tracy didn’t rush back to Cloudville. Ronald dragged her around like they were on vacation.

She knew he was trying to help her relax, and she went along without refusing. After a while, she really did feel a lot better.
