“Has she contacted you then?”
Bryan continued to shake his head. “No, not at all.”
“What about her family? Her mother, Courtney, have you met her?”
Bryan’s heart sank, but he said, “No, no.
Mr. Beltran, why are you asking this?”
“Are you thinking that I’m lying to you?
Mr. Beltran, I’m not lying. Before I passed out that day, I definitely saw a pair of women’s black high heels.
The heels weren’t even that high, just about this high.”
As he spoke, Bryan gestured with his thumb and index finger.
Xavier looked; it was about three or four inches.
Aveline didn’t really like to wear very high heels, two or three inches at most.
Josephine, on the other hand, often wore taller shoes.
Bryan added, “Later, I saw Ms. Josephine wearing those exact same shoes with my own eyes, so I thought it must have been her who saved you.”
Xavier asked, “Did you see her wear them again after that?”
Bryan shook his head. “That was the last time I saw Ms. Josephine. I didn’t see her for two years, not until the night before last when the Heiress went to find her.”
Xavier looked at him, his gaze cold and heavy. “Bryan, I’m giving you one last chance. Are you sure there isn’t a single lie in anything you’ve told me?”
Bryan answered without hesitation, “Mr. Beltran, I’m telling the truth this time. Not a single word is a lie.”
Xavier scoffed, “You said you were telling the truth two years ago when I asked you.”

“But then you changed your story in front of the Patriarch.”
“You bastard.”
With that, Xavier, still furious, kicked Bryan again.
Bryan yelped, then said, “Mr. Beltran, this time it’s absolutely the truth, I swear.”
“What good is a gambler’s oath?”
With that, Xavier turned and walked to the door, “Just stay put in Entora. Don’t run off where I can’t find you.”
Amy hurried to open the door for Xavier.
Xavier was about to leave when he stopped and turned back, “Get some paper draw the shape of those shoes.”
and a pen,
and
Bryan’s face fell. “Mr. Beltran, I’m not good at drawing.”
Xavier’s dark eyes grew colder.
Bryan immediately changed his tune, “Okay, okay, okay, I’ll draw it right now.’
Xavier took the crooked drawing Bryan had made, which roughly showed the outline of a shoe, and left Bryan’s house.
After getting in the car, he wondered if Aveline still had any shoes at Winslow Heights.
He wasn’t sure, so he called Helena. “Does my wife still have any shoes left at Winslow Heights?” Amy, sitting in the driver’s seat, heard him and couldn’t help but glance at the rearview mirror, thinking Mr. Beltran was trying to see if his wife owned a pair of shoes like that.
Although Helena found it strange, she replied to Xavier, “There are three pairs of new shoes belonging to your wife in the storage room at Winslow Heights.”
New ones, so it probably wasn’t them, but Xavier still asked, “What color are they? Are they high heels?”
Helena replied, “A pair of blue sneakers, a pair of yellow flat leather shoes, and a pair of black sandals.’
“What about at Parkview Estates? Have you seen her with a pair of black high heels, about three inches tall?”

Helena was taken aback, then said, “Well, I don’t know. I’d have to look.”
“Don’t bother.
