“Honey, you’re the best,” Liam said. He thought, ‘Sorry for doing that this time, but I’d do it again.’

They looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere in the car was so sweet that it was sickening.

However, they knew very well that they would soon hav

on a private estate in the suburbs.

to face the serious truth. The Krot Competition was held

The car drove along a road with big sprawling fields on both sides.

Liam and Emma had already notified them in advance. The journey was smooth and no one stopped them.

Soon, they would reach the venue.

Emma’s heartbeat gradually sped up. Everything she had persevered for during this time was for this moment. She thought, ‘Dummy, I’ll be able to avenge you soon… Wait for me…‘

There was a screeching of brakes. The car stopped.

“Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall, this is where the Krot Competition was held five years ago,” the driver said.

“Thanks,” Emma said as she gave the driver a stack of pounds as a tip.

The driver happily accepted it and left.

Emma and Liam looked at each other, took a deep breath, and walked into the arena hand in hand.

Due to the lack of competition recently, many places that had not been used for a long time were dilapidated and

dusty.

When Emma saw this, she frowned slightly. She did not know what her chances were of replaceing out what happened five years ago in such a place. If she couldn’t replace it here, she did not know how she would investigate the truth about Justine’s death.

The sky was overcast as if it was about to rain.

They walked to the low pile net netting.

“It’s here.” Emma looked down at the ground coldly.

This was where something went wrong with Justine. If it wasn’t medicine or disease, then it had to be a problem

with the venue.

Emma knelt and ran her hand across the sand on the ground. The fine and soft white sand flowing through her

fingertips was dry and nothing special. She lifted the netting on the ground again and saw thin wires emerging from the netting.

Emma knew about this. Some low pile net netting would have wire weaved into the netting to maintain its shape. and ensure its toughness. Perhaps it had not been repaired for a long time, some wires had poked out.

Suddenly, raindrops fell from the sky.

Liam, in a black suit, suddenly opened a big black umbrella and covered Emma who was kneeling on the ground. “Emma, it’s raining. Don’t catch a cold.”

Emma got up and smiled at Liam. “You have to stay out of the rain too.”

Boom. Another clap of thunder pierced their eardrums.

Emma frowned slightly.

Liam looked up at the dark sky. “There’s thunder as soon as we get off the plane. Yenovia’s weather is indeed unpredictable…”

“Wait.” At this moment, Emma suddenly thought of something.

Emma bent and pressed her fingers into the sand. She traced the symbol the person had left on the cliff in the white sand. In an instant, her beautiful eyes widened. It was as if she had suddenly thought of something.

Emma exclaimed, “I got it. It’s not a drug or poison. It’s lightning. He drew a lightning symbol.”

The protruding wires had come into contact with the body. When Justine ed by that day, someone maliciously

ambushed her with high–voltage electricity and electrocuted her to death. Instantaneous electrocution would

cause one to faint, have a cardiac arrest, and die. These symptoms are very similar to sudden death from acute

heart disease.

That was why so many people mistakenly thought Justine had died of a sudden heart attack because she had taken the wrong drug.

Emma looked at the lightning symbol in the white sand that was instantly washed away by the heavy rain. She suddenly laughed out loud. “I see. I truly get it now.” Emma had been wronged for so many years in vain. It turned

out that someone had framed her.

Everyone said it was because Emma had a conflict with Dummy that Dummy took drugs and committed suicide. However, they did not know that someone had plotted out the murder secretly.

Liam was also a little surprised that Emma guessed the truth so quickly. “Emma, if you say the word, no matter who it is, I’ll deal with it with you.”

Emma clenched her fists in the rain. “I want to avenge her and let everyone know the truth.”

Justine did not take drugs, and she did not have a heart attack. Instead, someone had killed her with an electrified

net.

Perhaps it was because Emma was tired from the journey and had a cold, she started to have a low fever when she

réturned to the hotel.

Liam took good care of Emma. His heart ached so much that it was about to shatter.

Liam immediately called the best doctor in Yenovia over. The doctor prescribed medicine for Emma and gave her an injection. When Liam saw that Emma’s temperature had dropped, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, he did not let down his guard because of this.

Because Emma was ill, Liam felt even worse.

Emma knew what Liam was worried about and tugged on his finger. “It’s okay. I just have a slight cold.”

“Don’t keep thinking about it if you’re not feeling well.” Liam stroked Emma’s hair lovingly. “I’ve asked my men to follow your line of thought and investigate. They’ll give me the results tomorrow morning.”

Liam kissed Emma’s neck. “Sleep well.”

Emma nodded. It was easy to feel cold when one was cold. Liam’s body was very warm. She curled herself into a ball and snuggled into Liam’s arms.

The next day, the investigation results of the people sent by Liam came out.

The subordinate reported, “Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall is right. We pulled up the video of the competition and watched it again. Justine’s reaction was the same as the symptoms of electrocution. However, there was one other thing that

was very suspicious.”

“What?” Liam asked.

“The clothes Justine wore for the competition indicated that they were taken by someone from Nuverland that day. The logistics department and the hospital can testify to this,” the subordinate said.

The clothes would show that Justine was electrocuted. These people were afraid that their crimes would be exposed, so they took Justine’s clothes.

Liam asked in a low voice, “Who has it?”

The subordinate said, “Dana Coast.”

Three days later, the fully recovered Emma and Liam returned to Troln City.

Serene had already been discharged from the hospital. When she heard Emma had saved her, she was extremely grateful. Although she was still recovering and could not thank Emma personally, Serene’s parents brought many gifts to Icovine Estate to thank Emma.

Of course, Emma did not let the older couple make a fuss about it.

After reminding Serene about the things to take note of in the future, Serene went to the hospital to look for Dana.

Emma had investigated. There were only Dana’s managers and coaches guarding the ward. Emma only used some little tricks to send them away easily.

Emma’s face was cold as she stepped into the room with her black boots.

The door of the ward opened and closed.

Dana was wearing an oxygen mask in the bed. When she saw who it was, she immediately began to tremble violently. “What are you doing here?”

They had undergone the most professional training and could easily sense the killing intent of another person.

Emma was indeed feeling murderous. She looked at Dana’s terrified expression and suddenly smirked, like a blooming dahlia in the night.

Emma pulled out the information Liam had given her. “Tell me, why did you take Bunny’s clothes?”
